WSOP announced on Wednesday the 2017-2018 domestic circuit schedule for its 14th season, with three new venues and a record-topping 26 tour stops. The international side of the Circuit schedule will include a dozen-plus stops and is expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Both are linked by a points system tied to the WSOP gold-bracelet awarding $1 million+ guaranteed Global Casino Championship.<\/p>\n
The 2017-18 WSOP Circuit will commence on August 2, starting at Harrah\u2019s Cherokee in western North Caronlina, and continues virtually non-stop until the final stop at Harrah\u2019s New Orleans that begins May 10, 2018.<\/p>\n
The newly added venues are: The Thunder Valley Casino in Northern California near the Sacramento area has two planned stops from September 14-25 2007, and again from January 11-22, 2018; The Seminole Hard rock in Hollywood, Florida has 1 stop scheduled from September 21 \u2013 October 2, 2017; and another at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek from February 8-19,2018.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Each stop includes a dozen series of tournaments leading up to a Main Event starting at the $365 buy-in level and the winner will be awarded with an official gold ring. Every stop will also include a $1,675 Main Event. The event schedules for each stop, once approved by their local regulatory body, will be released as the event draws closer.<\/p>\n
There are several ways in which players can quality and gain free entry in to the 2017-2018 Global Casino Championship with a guaranteed prize pool of $1,000,000:<\/p>\n
Aside from these \u201cfree roll\u201d seats, players can also qualify for the 2017-18 Global Casino Championship during the circuit season by winning any official \u201cring event\u201d, or be among the top 100 ranked players from the previous year\u2019s WSOP Player of the year.
