BIG GAME RETURNS TO NAPT LAS VEGAS
The Big Game on Tour – which was revived in 2023 after a 12-year hiatus – will also be back for a brand new season at NAPT Las Vegas 2024 and that means it’s time to find some new Loose Cannons.
There will be qualifiers running throughout the NAPT, and the winners will make it through to the audition process.
But Las Vegas Gold Pass winners? They’re guaranteed an audition, so try your best to win one.
MIXED GAME FESTIVAL
Sometimes two cards and one game just aren’t enough.
That’s why PokerStars is excited to announce that the beloved Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival will return to NAPT Las Vegas in November for its biggest and best run yet.
The festival takes place at Resorts World Las Vegas from November 3-7, running alongside NAPT Las Vegas (November 1-10), giving players even more choice and value. There will be three co-branded mixed game tournaments on the schedule, as well as the hallmark of the festivities: low-stakes dealer’s choice cash games.
PACKAGE ADDED TO NAPT LAS VEGAS WOMEN’S EVENT
The winner of the Women’s Event at the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas will now find themselves hopping on a plane to London as a Women’s Winter Festival package has been added to the prize pool.
