SCCG Take — The festival shows operators how dedicated mixed-games scheduling can tap rising player demand for format variety and community, supporting broader live poker engagement.
Mixed games are attracting more attention as players look to expand their skills beyond No-Limit Hold’em and Pot-Limit Omaha. OlyBet, a longtime supporter of the mixed games community, is staging the 2026 European Mixed Poker Championship at Olympic Park Casino in Tallinn, Estonia. The six-day festival runs from October 26-31 and features more than ten tournaments, buy-ins starting at €200, and cash games running around the clock, according to PokerNews.
The schedule caters to both newcomers and veterans, with lower-stakes events providing an entry point before the headline €800 Main Event. Social elements include a welcome dinner on October 26 and a community lunch on October 29.
Core Tournament Schedule
The €800 8-Game Main Event begins October 30 with Day 1A at 11:30 a.m. and Day 1B at 6:30 p.m. Day 2 concludes on October 31. The event mixes eight variants: No-Limit Hold’em, Limit Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Stud, Stud Hi-Lo, Razz, and 2-7 Triple Draw. Players may re-enter once per starting flight. €185 H.E.T.R.O.S. satellites run on October 29 and 30.
Lower buy-in tournaments open the festival with the €200 Big Bet Mix on October 26, followed by €200 S.O.R.B.E.T. and €200 Omaha Dealer’s Choice.

Demand Drivers for Mixed-Games Events
Cash games available 24/7 allow participants to practice unfamiliar variants between tournaments. The combination of structured events, varied formats, and community activities addresses the growing appetite for tournaments that go beyond the usual NLH schedule. Operators hosting live poker should track participation metrics from festivals of this type to determine allocation of floor space and marketing resources in the quarters ahead.
