BetMGM announces marquee poker events with Borgata Hotel & Casino for the fall
BetMGM and Borgata Hotel & Casino have announced three fall poker events after the Borgata Summer Poker Open saw more than 9,500 entries and prize pool payouts of more than US$5.5 million.
The three marquee events, Borgata Big, Big Buy Series, Lions of the Atlantic, and the Borgata Fall Open, are set to take place between 8 September and 17 November.
Each event is powered by the BetMGM Poker platform, with players able to sign up and qualify for tournaments through the BetMGM Poker app.
“These three events directly demonstrate the growth of BetMGM Poker and our continued partnership with Borgata,” David Mileaf, Senior Manager of Poker Operations, BetMGM, said. “By bringing bigger buy-ins, larger prize pools and a diverse tournament structure to players this fall, we cement our status as the premier online and on-property poker destinations.”
A cross-branded poker room and tournament space also will be unveiled on 7 September during an exclusive deck cutting party.
The room showcases the shift between digital and retail play offered by MGM Resorts and BetMGM.
“BetMGM and Borgata are redefining poker by creating the go-to destination for tournament and cash game players alike,” Kellie DeCelis, Borgata’s Director of Poker Operations, added. “Through our partnership, premier events like the Borgata Big, Big Buy Series and Lions of the Atlantic, and the new BetMGM Poker Tournament Room, we’re delivering an unparalleled poker experience that blends innovation, excitement, and opportunity for players of every level.”
