Poker in Sweden
While poker is already popular across Sweden, it is offered legally only in the nation's casinos – and there are just four of them, located in Sundsvall, Gothenburg, Malmö, and Stockholm. 

These casinos also feature poker variations to let Swedish players engage in a variety of poker games, such as HolEm, Omaha, Five-Card Stud and Seven-Card Stud. Swedes also like tournaments Not only do Swedish players enjoy poker for fun, they also like to attend poker tournaments very much.

Nevertheless, all gambling in Sweden is controlled by a state monopoly known as Svenska Spel. All gambling not offered by Svenksa Spel is considered illegal.

Online Poker in Sweden
Swedish players are not completely without domestic options. Since 2006, Svenksa Spel has offered live, real-money poker games on the internet for Swedish players. In fact, the Svenska Spel website was the world's first state-run online poker site. The site runs on software supplied by the Swedish company Spielo G2, with an agreement extended until 2018. The site is very popular, and provides a safe and trustworthy place for Swedish players to play online poker.

Some players still choose to play at online poker sites that are hosted in other countries. A few offer Swedish versions of their website which make them appealing. If planned changes to regulations to be implemented in 2014 will allow the licensing of foreign operators, then some of these sites will surely apply for a license.
