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.”

CT Interactive Releases its Latest Title, Dragon Beast
CT Interactive has released Dragon Beast, a visually refined and feature-rich slot that combines classic mechanics with a modern presentation set in a rich world of dragons and royal symbols.
Dragon Beast takes players on a thrilling journey through a mystical world filled with hidden wealth and legendary creatures. Set on a 4×3 reel layout, the game offers exciting gameplay and rewarding opportunities with every spin. Along the way, players will encounter the special Dragon Eye Wild symbol, as well as valuable treasures such as Money, Goblet, Crown, Ruby and Diamond. Together, these symbols create an immersive adventure where fortune, mystery and the power of the dragon combine to deliver an unforgettable slot experience.
Special Features
The Wild: The Dragon Eye Wild substitutes for all other symbols.
The Hold and Respin: All wins in the game are scatter wins. Dragon Eye Wild substitutes for all symbols. When 3 or more Dragon Eye Wild appear on the screen, the player is offered a respin. To play the respin, the player must pay for it. During a Respin, the bet is the same as in the initiating game that triggered it. During the Respin, the chosen symbol sticks on the screen and a new spin of the reels is made for the remaining positions. If the Respin results in a higher win from the symbol than in the initiating game, only the higher win is paid out. If there are 12 identical symbols on the screen, no Respin is offered.
Legendary Rewards
Catch the maximum win of up to 1000x total bet by landing 12 Diamonds in a winning combination.
