We are thrilled to have BetMGM be the exclusive home for online registration and qualification for The Return. Players in all of our U.S. markets will have weekly chances to qualify online and reserve their seat in one of the year’s biggest poker events as BetMGM Poker continues to offer great experience at MGM properties across the country,” says Luke Staudenmaier, Director of Poker.

The live event series will run from Jan. 2-8 in Atlantic City and will generate over $4 million in guaranteed prize pools. BetMGM Poker PA has announced online qualifiers for players to get into these main events without crushing their bankrolls.

The Return at Borgata – Live Event Schedule

The Borgata tournament series will include some firsts for the casino. This includes the first-ever Borgata Mystery Bounty event set for Jan. 2.

Mystery Bounties are a growing trend among the poker community. When players eliminate another player they receive an envelope with an unknown prize. Mystery bounties allow players to win big, but they don’t know what prize they get until the package is opened. The top mystery prize for this event will be $250,000.

The complete Borgata Return schedule is as follows:

• $2,200 NLH Mystery Bounty (Event 1, Jan. 2-3) – $1M guaranteed
• $560 NLH Live Satellite Qualifier to Main Event (Event 2, Jan. 3) – 1 in 10 win
• $5,400 NLH Main Event (Event 3, Jan. 4-8) – $1M guaranteed
• $2,100 NLH 1k Bounty (Event 4, Jan. 6-7) – $150,000 guaranteed
• $1,100 NLH Survivor (Event 5, Jan. 7-8) – $100,000 guaranteed

“The return of championship poker to Borgata is a long time coming,” said Vincent Alonge Jr., Borgata’s Director of Poker Operations.

Poker Influencers Meet Up

In November live events, Borgata invited some pros to the tables. The poker room hosted live meet up games with players such as Youtuber Ethan “Rampage” Yau and Darren Elias.

Borgata has already hinted that additional events are planned for January as more pros roll into town. Be on the lookout for more in person events coming soon.
