GPI/THM Head of Partnerships Roland Boothby confirmed that the creation of a Grand Final in Bratislava is a testament to The Hendon Mob’s strong partnership with Banco Casino Bratislava.
“Having worked with Banco Casino for many years, and having visited the property on numerous occasions, I’ve seen firsthand the dedication and professionalism of the team and have never ceased to be impressed by the way they treat players and event staff. Elevating our annual THMC Bratislava to the status of Grand Final was a natural step after the success of the 2021 event, and we look forward to seeing players from all around the world competing for an increased €200k guaranteed prize pool at an affordable price point.”
