Heads up for all poker fans living in Edinburgh or willing to travel there to buy into a big poker tournament. The 2024 UK poker tournament schedule made our city a notable venue with 6 live poker tournaments taking place.
Our friends and partners from the Gamblescope.com research team were kind enough to provide some information about them. As well as the list of safe UKGC-compliant online poker rooms for you to practice your poker skills.
Tournament Venue
All 6 tournaments take place in the Art Deco building of the former Gala Maybury Casino, currently – Grosvenor Casino. It is located in 1-5 South Maybury EH12 8NE, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, right near the airport. Grosvenor Casino Edinburgh might not be the largest in the city, but it is known for friendly staff, tasty food and a spectacular atmosphere suitable for poker.

Definitely the main poker tournament of the year 2024 in Edinburgh. With just a few weeks remaining until the start, the schedule is still to be decided. But knowing that the previous year included 32 events, we expect the Edinburgh GUKPT 2024 tournament to be equally entertaining if not more.

Grosvenor 25/50 Series with a guaranteed prize pool of £50 000 returns to Edinburgh in the last days of summer. With an exception of the very first event, that will be a No Limit Hold’em online flight, other events will be as in Round 4.

Buy-in: £220 + 30
Poker just refuses to leave our welcoming Grosvenor Casino, with another 25/50 tournament being scheduled in mid-autumn. The schedule of the tournament is yet to be known, but we don’t expect it to differ much from Round 7 and 9. The guaranteed prize pool is £50 000.
Grosvenor 25/50 Series Round 11
Date: November 13 – 17

The last poker tournament of the year in Edinburgh will feature 3 main No Limit Hold’em events and a fourth No Limit Turbo event together with a main Day 2. Once again offers a chance to take a bite from the £50 000 guaranteed prize pool.
