Casinos Austria puts over EUR 5,000 on its cash games in eight rooms on Halloween

Casinos Austria is running a single cash-game promotion across eight of its poker rooms on Saturday 31 October 2026 — Baden, Bregenz, Graz, Seefeld, Linz, Salzburg, Velden and Vienna. The company guarantees a total above EUR 5,000 in prizes across the participating casinos and says one CAPT Million ticket, stated at EUR 550, will be drawn among all the winners.

What makes it unusual is that it pays in both directions. In each room the session's highest winning hands and its highest losing hands — bad beats — both qualify, and the qualifiers then settle the money in a flip at 01:00 rather than taking a fixed prize.

The two rooms that publish their local figures show how differently the pool is split. Casino Wien puts up EUR 1,000, playable from 16:00 to 01:00, and seats six in its flip: three high hands and three bad beats, paying EUR 500 for first and EUR 100 each for second through sixth. Casino Baden puts up EUR 400 from 17:00 to 01:00 and seats five: three high hands and two bad beats, paying EUR 200 and then EUR 50 each.

For the Austrian cash-game player the practical point is that one night's promotion now favours Vienna heavily, and that both rooms require you to be at the table in the qualifying window rather than simply to turn up for the draw. Each casino's own terms of participation govern the detail, and the figures above are the guaranteed totals rather than what any individual player can expect to win.
