Seniors poker tournaments are open to players aged 50 and over, while Super Seniors tournaments are for players aged 60 and over. With the “Moneymaker generation” of poker players continuing to get older, its only natural that Seniors poker tournaments continue to see increasing participation numbers with each passing year. During the summer of 2026 in Las Vegas, a large number of Seniors poker tournaments will be played, almost all of them with substantial guaranteed prize pools. Winners will take home trophies, and three WSOP events will award gold bracelets to their champions.
With all participants in the Seniors poker events in mind, we’ve compiled a list of all 22 tournaments being played at the various festivals throughout Las Vegas during summer 2026, including their dates and details. Having all the information in one place will allow you to plan your trip to the city that never sleeps in the best way possible, taking into account the length of your stay and bankroll considerations.
