New Era, New Room
Coinciding with the summer series, Borgata and BetMGM Poker have rolled out a major upgrade to the poker experience on property. A newly co-branded poker room and a state-of-the-art tournament space have officially opened their doors. The BetMGM Poker Tournament Room at Borgata features 18 sleek, modern tables and symbolizes the continued evolution of the partnership between MGM Resorts International and BetMGM.
This move further strengthens the online-to-live poker ecosystem the two companies have been building over the last couple years in particular.
“The newly co-branded BetMGM Poker Tournament Room at Borgata is a game-changer, offering a dynamic, player-centric environment that elevates the Tournament player experience. Our partnership with BetMGM continues to thrive, seamlessly connecting online and live poker through BetMGM Poker’s qualifiers, with one player turning a $50 online qualifier into a remarkable $112,000 win, showcasing the incredible opportunities this collaboration creates for our player base” said Borgata Director of Poker Operations Kellie DeCelis.
BetMGM Poker has been riding a wave of momentum this year, thanks in large part to the merging of its player pools across states. The unification of New Jersey and Michigan boosted traffic and prize pools, with Pennsylvania’s recent addition to the network boosting the company’s US online poker market share to almost 50%.
“BetMGM Poker is committed to listening to our players and offering them the best online to live poker experience,” said BetMGM’s Senior Manager of Poker Operations David Mileaf. “We take tremendous pride being the only platform you can play online and qualify for poker events at MGMRI properties like Borgata. The BetMGM Poker Tournament Room at Borgata is the latest way we are collaborating to display our commitment to our players and elevating poker.”
Borgata: Atlantic City’s Poker Powerhouse
It’s fitting that the Borgata Poker Room is setting a new bar once again. Since its opening 22 years ago, in July 2003, the Borgata Poker Room has reigned supreme as Atlantic City’s #1 poker destination. With more than 65 tables, it’s the largest and most active room in the region, offering nonstop cash game action and multiple daily No Limit Hold’em tournaments.

Beyond Hold’em, Borgata regularly spreads Pot Limit Omaha and 7 Card Stud, and remains a beloved venue for mixed game enthusiasts. The property also hosts several high-profile series throughout the year, with the Borgata Poker Open – held each Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall – serving as its flagship event.
As the 2025 Borgata Summer Poker Open nears its midpoint, excitement continues to build both on the felt and throughout the property. With a fresh look, robust schedule, and surging online support, Borgata and BetMGM Poker are setting the stage for a memorable Main Event and a strong finish to the series.
“The 2025 Borgata Summer Poker Open is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Borgata Poker and BetMGM Poker. With our expanded online-to-live poker ecosystem and a diverse, action-packed tournament schedule, we’re committed to delivering unforgettable moments and cementing Borgata’s legacy as the East Coast’s ultimate poker destination” added DeCelis.
