Cardplayer Lifestyle will be hosting its eighth Mixed Game Festival, a five-day affair at Bellagio Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, with five Moneymaker Tour seats to be awarded as Grand Prizes.
We’re proud to announce that Mixed Game Festival VIII will be hosted at the fabulous Bellagio Las Vegas for the very first time. The festival will be an exclusively cash game affair taking place from June 16-20, promising what’s sure to be another exciting week of mixed games. Dealer’s choice cash game action will begin at 12pm each day, spread at limits as low as $4/8 and $8/16, with higher stakes available upon request.
“Bellagio Poker is thrilled to team with the Mixed Game Festival this summer. It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to introduce Bellagio and Bellagio poker to a new level of mixed game players. We see mixed game players as a growing and welcome group of guests, and look forward to hosting the festival in June,” said Craig Larson, Director at Bellagio Poker.
Mixed Game Festival VIII Grand Prize Details
Each day we will be awarding a free $400 entry into a Moneymaker Tour side event to one lucky player at our mixed game tables. Each day’s giveaway will be carried out at some point prior to 7pm in the following manner:
- I will randomly draw a table and seat number.
- I will ask that player a Chris Moneymaker-themed trivia question.
- If the player answers correctly, they win the seat; if not, I draw a new table/seat at random until there’s a winner.
The five lucky Grand Prize winners will be able to cash in quickly, as the next Moneymaker Tour stop is slated to take place right after our Mixed Game Festival, from June 28-July 6 at the MGM Grand.
As per Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager Tony Burns: “Chris and the Moneymaker Tour share a passion for the growth of mixed games in our industry. What better way to help that growth than through supporting the Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival at the Bellagio this summer.”
