The 2019 edition will venture to seven Sun International casinos across South Africa with an estimated prize pool of more than R40-m.
Season two also features a tournament within a tournament, the Monster Million Accumulator, which also starts at Carnival City and will continue through each stop throughout the year.
The Monster Million Accumulator guarantees a first prize of R1-m, which will be awarded after the last stop of the season at Time Square Casino in Pretoria.
The participating casinos in 2019 include Carnival City, Sun City, Sibaya, Boardwalk, Wild Coast, Time Square and Grand West.
