National MonsterJam Poker Tour heads to North West



The larger than life MonsterJam Poker Tour is heading to North West. Following an exciting first round at Carnival City, the national poker tournament will be unleashed at Sun International’s iconic Sun City from 13 to 22 April 2018.

The MonsterJam Poker Tour invites both professional and amateur players to pit their skills in a nationwide series and stand the chance to win substantial cash prizes. Registration for the Sun City leg of the MonsterJam Poker Tour is now open.

Registered players can raise their stack at various events over the course of ten days, culminating on 22 April 2018 with the final table of the Main Event, and the tournament series bringing in an estimated prize pool of over R10million.

The MonsterJam Poker Tour will be taking this growing, exhilarating sport to more Sun International casinos in South Africa during 2018. These include GrandWest (Cape Town), the Wild Coast Sun (Eastern Cape), The Boardwalk (Eastern Cape), Sibaya (KwaZulu-Natal) and Time Square South Africa (Gauteng). Each tour stop will feature a number of competitions and events, to suit a wide range of players.

According to Sun International’s Group Manager: Gaming, Maartin Olckers, the nationwide MonsterJam Poker Tour is buoyed by the outrageously successful MJPT tournament which took place at Sun City in 2015. The tournament attracted 619 players over seven days, with a prize pool totaling over R5.3-million.

“Taking the MJPT nationwide is the natural evolution for this exciting tournament featuring some of South Africa’s top players. We are delighted to partner with MonsterJam Poker to take this world class poker series to seven of our top South African casinos in 2018.

“What Sun International casinos find most appealing about the MonsterJam Poker Tour is that the structures are inclusive and caters to players of diverse ability, from novices to those keen to take their poker sporting ability to the next level in a credible, national competition. With the title MonsterJam Poker Tour Player of the Year and a trip overseas at stake, we expect some nail biting competition.”

All winning players for each event at every regional tournament will be added to a leader board and ranking system, with the ultimate winner at the end of the year taking the top accolade of MonsterJam Poker Tour Player of the Year and winning a trip to play poker internationally.

Membership to Sun International’s Sun MVG Programme is a prerequisite to register for the MonsterJam Poker Tour. However, registration to the Sun MVG programme is free of charge at the Sun MVG Desks at all Sun International casinos in South Africa or online.

Sun International recently reinvented its well recognised Most Valued Guest (MVG) loyalty programme to deliver more rewards, exciting benefits and exclusive offers to guests visiting its casinos and hotels in South Africa.

A key enhancement of the new Sun MVG programme is the opportunity it provides to customers to earn both casino and leisure points when playing slots, table games, staying in hotel rooms and dining at selected restaurants and outlets at Sun International properties. Casino Points can be used for playback on the slot machines and table games and Leisure Points for hotel accommodation, dining experiences or exciting entertainment.
