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.
In September 2023’s 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.
“Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati will team up with the Moneymaker Tour for a return in 2024” said Christopher Herbert, Hard Rock Cincinnati Manger of Poker & Sportsbook. “Hard 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. There’s no better place to be in September 2024 than Cincinnati Ohio!”
“After an amazing series last September, we are excited to return to Hard Rock Casino Cincinnati”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager of the Moneymaker Tour. “Continuing 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.”

BetConstruct AI Launches Retail Jackpot Engine for Sportsbook – Redefining the Betshop Experience
BetConstruct AI has introduced its Retail Jackpot Engine for Sportsbook, a new solution aimed at enhancing player engagement, increasing footfall, and driving turnover across retail betting environments.
The launch comes as operators seek to evolve beyond transactional betting experiences, with the new engine embedding dynamic jackpot functionality directly into the retail sportsbook ecosystem.
Driving Engagement in Retail Betshops
The Retail Jackpot Engine is designed to create a more immersive and engaging atmosphere in betshops, encouraging players to return more often, spend more time in-store, and interact more deeply with sportsbook offerings.
Flexible and Fully Configurable
A key strength of the solution is its flexibility. Operators can configure jackpot pools at multiple levels, including:
- A single network-wide jackpot
- Individual jackpots per betshop
- Custom clusters based on location or player segments
Trigger mechanisms are equally adaptable, with options for amount-based triggers (activated when jackpots reach a set value) or time-based triggers (released after a defined period). This allows operators to tailor jackpot dynamics to their specific commercial strategies.
Omnichannel Visibility for Maximum Impact
To maximise visibility, real-time jackpot values are displayed across all in-shop touchpoints, including screens, cashier terminals, and self-service kiosks. Additionally, jackpot amounts are printed directly on betting tickets, extending engagement beyond the shop environment.
A Long-Term Retail Growth Tool
Rather than serving as a short-term promotion, the Retail Jackpot Engine is positioned as a strategic solution for sustained retail growth. By increasing repeat visits, session duration, and betting activity, it aims to strengthen both operator revenues and long-term player engagement.
