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.”

Irish-themed slot runs a 5×3 layout with 20 fixed paylines and lists a 2,000x max win, plus Hold and Win and bonus buy options.

Booming Games has launched Greedy for Gold: Hold and Win, the second game in its Greedy for Gold series. The supplier said the slot uses a 5×3 grid with 20 fixed paylines and offers a maximum win potential of 2,000x.

The Irish-themed title includes Pot of Gold and Lucky Hat mechanics, plus Free Spins with Jumbo symbols and a Hold and Win feature. In the base game, Booming Games said the Pot of Gold feature collects non-triggering coins and can award Hold and Win on any spin, while Lucky Hat collects Scatter symbols for a chance to trigger Free Spins. Three, four or five Scatter symbols award 10, 15 and 20 Free Spins respectively.

During Free Spins, Jumbo symbols appear across reels 2-4, the company said. Jumbo Scatter symbols award an extra three spins, while Jumbo Value symbols trigger the Hold and Win feature. Value symbols range from 1x to 100x the bet amount, and filling the grid awards the Grand Bonus worth 1000x the bet amount.

Booming Games said Hold and Win starts with three respins, with Scatter symbols held in place and additional symbols resetting the respin counter to three. Players can also purchase a Mystery Bonus for 75x the bet amount or a Super Bonus for 100x, while a Boost+ side bet increases the bet amount by 25% and increases the chance of triggering bonus features with Bonus Buy.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “While we have a dedicated pipeline of releases around St Patrick’s Day, our Irish themed games are popular with players all year round. With a number of innovative bonus features, the game demonstrates our commitment to delivering premium gaming experiences, and we’re confident that players will enjoy this latest addition to our collection.”

4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel introduces a wheel-trigger tied to Bonus and Mega Bonus modes, with up to 10,000x payouts.

Playson has released 4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel, adding a new “Super Wheel” mechanic to its 4 Pots Riches slot line-up.

The Super Wheel feature triggers when a Super Wheel Symbol is present on the reels at the moment either the Bonus Game with Pot Features or the Mega Bonus Game starts. Playson said the wheel then spins to award either a Jackpot Coin, a Clover Coin, or a coin with a value of up to 10x.

In the Bonus Game, Clover Coins are collected by coloured pots above the reels and can trigger one of three pot features: Multi (adds multipliers of up to 5x), Collect (collects symbol values on the reels into the coin value, including multipliers), and Mystery (awards a Mini, Minor or Major Jackpot, or a random value of up to 75x the total bet). The Mega Bonus Game is played on an expanded 5×5 field and is accessed via a Mega Clover Coin in the main game, increasing the chance to land additional Clover Coins and features.

Playson also said a Golden Pot feature can randomly trigger during the Bonus or Mega Bonus Game, transforming into a violet, blue or red Clover Coin to activate or enhance features. Jackpot Coins can also appear, awarding Mini, Minor or Major wins worth 15x, 30x or 100x. Filling all 15 cells in the Bonus Game or all 25 cells in the Mega Bonus Game awards 3,000x and 10,000x wins respectively.

Anton Ivannikov, CPO at Playson, said: “4 Pots Riches: Super Wheel reflects our commitment to evolving successful game concepts with fresh mechanics that enhance engagement and excitement. The new Super Wheel feature adds an extra layer of anticipation to the bonus experience while complementing the proven appeal of our Pot Features.

“Combined with the Mega Bonus Game and Golden Pot enhancements, the release delivers a compelling blend of familiar mechanics and new opportunities. We believe it will resonate strongly with players and further strengthen the popularity of our 4 Pots series.”
