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. For tour dates or to register,

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

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.
