National MonsterJam Poker Tour heads to North West

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

The MonsterJam Poker Tour invites both professional and amateur players to pit their skills in a nationwide series, giving them the chance to win substantial cash prizes.

The Monster Jam 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 Monster Jam 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 Monster Jam 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 Monster Jam Poker Tour Player of the Year and winning a trip to play poker internationally.
