BMM Testlabs received applications from many qualified students through the AISES internship portal. Applicants include students that are pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in computer science, computer engineering, computer programming, electrical engineering and more. The selected intern(s) will have the opportunity to perform statistical analysis of gaming devices and game probabilities, review gaming devices and system source code, assist with the development of testing procedure and more at BMM Testlabsâ Las Vegas headquarters.
âI applied for the BMM Testlabsâ internship to see a different side of the technology world and experience working in a billion-dollar industry,â Rachel Wilson, former BMM Testlabs summer intern, said. âDuring my internship I learned about the gaming industry, the extensive testing process and just how many moving parts go into getting one game onto a casino floor. This experience allowed me to develop into a well-rounded student with a wide variety of experience. Now, I have graduated from college with a degree in computer science and management. My internship at BMM Testlabs helped me achieve my professional goals and I recommend it to anyone looking to learn more about the gaming industry.â
BMM Testlabs is currently assessing candidates for summer 2023 paid internships and looks forward to welcoming the selected intern(s) soon.

THE MONEYMAKER TOUR RETURNS TO HARD ROCK CINCINNATI WITH MORE THAN $1 MILLION UP FOR GRABS
Following a hugely successful first event in Cincinnati, Ohio in September 2023, the Moneymaker Tour is returning to the Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati on September 17 – 30, 2024 with a packed schedule that will guarantee more than $1 million across 15 trophy events.Â
In September 2023âs inaugural stop at Hard Rock Cincinnati, the $1,500 Main Event was contested by 788 players and won by Joseph Bakun for $208,034. He was joined at the final table by Chris Moneymaker himself and WSOP Champion Joseph McKeehen and as well as the top cash prize, he also took home a crystal Moneymaker Tour trophy and a guitar trophy.
The Moneymaker Tour was created in 2023 by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns. The Tour was conceived as a way for Moneymaker to give poker players opportunities to have their own ordinary to extraordinary moments as he did.
Despite its relative newcomer status, the Moneymaker Tour has made a name for itself, recently being voted the third most popular live poker tournament series behind only the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour, in a State of Poker survey. Since its inception, there have been eight events throughout Florida, Cincinnati and Houston.
The Tour has also recently announced new venues including a first visit to the birthplace of the Moneymaker boom with an event in Las Vegas from June 28 – July 6 at MGM Grand and its first international Main Event at Casino Aruba in October.
âHard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024â said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. âHard Rock Cincinnati is grateful to be a part of the fastest growing poker tour in 2023. Chris Moneymaker, Tony Burns and their staff delivered an incredible experience for our guests during the 2023 Moneymaker Tour stop. Thereâs no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!â
âAfter an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnatiâ, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. âContinuing to partner with one of the most recognisable brands in the world amplifies our reach, resonates with our audience, and rocks our business to a whole other level.â
