The BetMGM Spring Championship of Online Poker is officially in the books, and when all things are considered, the series can be dubbed a major success for the operator.
Over the course of almost 200 individual events available to on BetMGM Poker Michigan, BetMGM Poker Pennsylvania, and BetMGM Poker New Jersey, BetMGM Poker ended up awarding $3.1 million in prize money across the board.
Largely running alongside the PokerStars US SCOOP series, the Spring Championship of Online Poker gave players in these three states plenty to keep them occupied, with big guarantees and special trophy events to add to the excitement.
- 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
All Three Series Breach the $1M Mark
The series ran simultaneously in three jurisdictions, and it was a success in all three. In terms of prizes awarded, it was BetMGM Poker NJ edging out the other two, as players took home just over $1.1 million in prize money.
Michigan and Pennsylvania weren’t far behind, though, as total prizes breached the million mark in both states. At BetMGM Poker MI, the Spring Championship dished out a total of $1,029,323, while BetMGM Poker PA players banked $1,017,150.
Each platform hosted 65 individual events, with the grand total coming to 195 tournaments. Of these 195, 75 were trophy events, where winners got a special trophy to go along with the first-place money.
Alongside tournaments, BetMGM Poker ran series leaderboards, and the three winners walked away with $2,500 in additional cash, plus a trophy for their efforts.
The Spring Championship of Online Poker was highlighted by $1,000 Championship events. Of the three events, the New Jersey one paid the biggest prize to the winner in the amount of $35,400. What’s more interesting is that the title went to none other than Darren Elias, a successful professional, and an official BetMGM Poker ambassador.
More Action to Come at BetMGM Poker This Summer
The Spring Championship may be in the rearview mirror now, but there is more action to look forward to at BetMGM Poker.
If you’re a fan of live tournament action, the operator will be hosting online satellites to the live BetMGM Poker Championship taking place at Aria in Las Vegas in June. The Championship takes place June 6 — 11 and offers $3,000,000 in guaranteed prizes.
There are several qualifiers taking place every week, offering packages to the $3,500 Championship and $1,100 Mystery Bounty, a side event with a $500,000 promise.
June is generally great time to be in Las Vegas, with the World Series of Poker happening, and many other casinos running their own series, so competing for these packages is well worth your efforts.
Of course, the operator’s daily and weekly schedules offer a great range of options as well for players of all shapes and sizes. For those with deeper pockets, monthly Six Figure Sundays and Super High Roller events provide an excellent opportunity to put their bankroll to good use.
