Bluff Europe Magazine names Dublin as European Poker Capital
This is the second year in a row that the city of Dublin has been named as the European Poker Capital – quite simply, the best all around city in Europe for finding and playing the game of poker.
London took second place in the ranking, which was done courtesy of Bluff Europe Magazine, and Vienna, Tallinn and Galway all got nods, but point for point none could top Dublin in terms of game presence, player focus and all around enthusiasm for the game.
The magazine may not have included cities often ranked with poker in the minds of the players, but the reason for that was in the best interests of the game; they discounted cities that have a reputation for unfair rake in cash games and that have governments unfriendly to poker.
