New Jersey online poker players can reserve their seats in the upcoming Borgata Fall Mini-Series via BetMGM Poker NJ and Borgata Poker NJ. Both sites have opened the online registration for four flagship events on November 5, with plans to roll out satellites later this week.
The Fall Mini-Series was initially scheduled for the end of September, but following the series of cyber-attacks that plagued several major venues in Las Vegas, the management decided to postpone the series, with new dates set for November 14 – 19.
The series comes with a guarantee of $1,000,000, and it will take place at the Borgata Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. Those looking to secure their seats ahead of time can do so via NJ online poker sites, either buying in directly or winning an entry through satellites.
- Up to $75 in MTT tickets on top of the bonus
- Frequent MTT series with good guarantees
- Combined player pools in Michigan and New Jersey
$800,000 Guaranteed Main Event
The Borgata Fall Mini-Series features a smaller schedule in terms of the sheer number of events but with rich guarantees across those few tournaments.
The $2500 Main Event comes with a hefty guarantee of $500,000, and players can buy directly into either of the two starting flights (on November 15 and 16) via BetMGM Poker NJ and Borgata Poker NJ. Of course, in-person registration is available as well.
The other two events that NJ poker players can register for online are the $600 Deepstack Kickoff ($100k guaranteed) and the $800 Borgata Super Saturday ($200k guaranteed).
The Mini-Series features a few more events that offer only in-person registration, namely the $2100 Borgata Bounty on November 17 and $1100 Survivor and $550 PLO/NLH Mix Championship on November 19.

Online Satellites Kicking In on Sunday
Currently, players can only buy in directly using either cash or tournament dollars. However, starting on November 12, both Borgata and BetMGM Poker NJ will start offering online satellites to two of the three flagship tournaments.
- $215 qualifiers for the 8-Max Fall Mini-Series Main Event
- $100 qualifiers for the $800 Borgata Super Saturday
As always, players will have an opportunity to buy into satellites directly or build their way up to them via step qualifiers. For the Main Event, step tournaments start as low as $2, while qualifiers for the Super Saturday event feature only two steps — $10 feeder events and $100 main satellites.
The Borgata Fall Mini-Series promises a lot of quality action and some big prizes along the way. Despite the schedule being relatively “short,” the organizers have put together a nice mix of games and variations, offering deep stack events, bounty tournaments, and even adding some PLO action to the mix.
Head on over to Borgata Poker NJ or BetMGM Poker NJ, register for an account, and you will have an opportunity to reserve your seat right now. Alternatively, you can wait for satellites to kick in and win your way into two tournaments with the biggest guarantees, potentially for as little as $2!
