“The OlyBet Showdown is the premier poker festival series, bringing together enthusiasts from across the Baltic States and beyond for a celebration of live poker.” This is how OlyBet describes the OlyBet Showdown, and considering the success and growth of this recurring event that pays regular visits to Riga, Vilnius, and Tallinn, their claim is most definitely valid.
The ongoing 2025 OlyBet Showdown Riga Voodoo Autumn Edition is the third OlyBet Showdown event at the Olympic Voodoo Casino here in Riga. The first one was played roughly one year ago, and was then a purified Mystery Bounty festival.

While there are no more announced OlyBet Showdown events for 2025, there are other OlyBet events before the year ends. After Riga is done and dusted, all players should switch their focus to the upcoming 2025 Kings of Vilnius, which will be played November 14-23 in the Lithuanian capital. The €1,100 Main Event holds a €250,000 guarantee; it’s going to be one of the major highlights of the Baltic poker year.
