From a serene beach vacation to a party hotspot â Goa is many things, but the one thing that poker lovers will tell you about Goa is that it is the Vegas of India. And truly so. Floating casinos to poker events, thereâs no dearth of entertainment à la Las Vegas.

Just before the monsoons hit the Goan shores, this tourist paradise is going to make it rain money with Indiaâs first-ever National Poker Series. It is a mega event that is sure to bring together all poker enthusiasts from across the country. If you are one of them, we have all the details lined up for you.

The National Poker Series (NPS) will run for a week (just the time you need in this beach paradise) from 29th March to 5th April and will feature buy-ins beginning from just Rs 4,000. With the low buy-ins, they plan to make the tournament accessible to all the lovers of the game.

The tournament will take place at the Poker Baazi LIVE room aboard the Casino Pride 2 cruise ship in the middle of the sea. It canât get better than this, but guess what - it does.

PokerBaazi, the official partner of the National Poker Series will be hosting qualifying tournaments on their app with buy-in starting upwards of just Rs 10. These qualifying tournaments, also known as satellites, let players win tickets to the NPS at a fraction of their actual price. If you think a week-long trip to Goa might be out of your budget right now, you can play to win a package deal that includes travel and accommodation. 

Apart from the chance to win big moolah and a national title, the National Poker Series will feature exciting prizes across the leader-board. The two best performers in the series will win all-expenses-paid trips to Vegas.
