Furthermore, players in the upcoming Millionaire Maker in Paradise event, part of GGPoker’s WSOP Online 2023 series (Aug. 20 to Oct. 2) will also have the opportunity to win their way from the online felt to the Bahamas; play will pause once 100 participants remain in that event and resume on Dec. 4 at Atlantis Paradise Island.
For specific information on times of WSOP Paradise qualifiers, which begin later this month, players should check within the GGPoker client.
WSOP Paradise builds on the momentum generated by the record-breaking 54th annual WSOP, which took place at Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip this summer. Featuring 15 bracelet events in total, the series will be headlined by more than $50 million in guaranteed prize pools, including a $5,000 Main Event with a $15 million total prize pool guarantee and a $1,500 Mystery Bounty with a $5 million guarantee.

This expansion will include the latest slots, electronic and traditional table games, as well as a dedicated high-limit gaming area for discerning players seeking a more exclusive gaming experience.
