How to qualify
Play the room's weekly tournaments between Thursday 1 October and Thursday 31 December 2026. Leaderboard position comes from those results, and the thirty highest finishers over the quarter are invited to the freeroll on Sunday 3 January 2027.
What the freeroll is worth
$10,500, with no buy-in. Thirty players is a small field for that money, which is what makes a leaderboard promotion worth tracking: the value sits in the final rather than in any single qualifying tournament.
The weekly tournaments that feed it
The room's recurring schedule is built around a $125 Double Stack Turbo on Tuesdays, a $130 Triple Stack Turbo on Wednesdays, a $135 event with a $25 bounty and $5,000 guaranteed also on Tuesdays, and a $300 event with a $100 bounty on Saturdays. Larger one-offs sit on top, including a $155 Seniors Double Stack on 1 November 2026 and a $200 Double Stack on 7 November.
Practical notes
The poker room has 32 tables and is open 24 hours. All players must hold a TS Rewards card and be logged in at the table — which is also how leaderboard points are tracked, so playing without being logged in means the session does not count. The room publishes full leaderboard rules on its own page; check them before relying on any ranking.
Dates, the prize figure and the qualification rule come from the resort's own poker page, read on 21 October 2026, and can change. Please gamble responsibly: the US national helpline is 1-800-GAMBLER.
