The upcoming Moneymaker Main Event will take place at The Casino Aruba, and feature a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000
The Moneymaker Tour has announced a new partnership with The Caribbean Poker Series to host the first international Moneymaker Main Event in Aruba in October 4 – 6, 2024.
Set against the backdrop of Aruba’s stunning beaches and lively culture, The Moneymaker Tour will coincide with the $300,000 guaranteed Caribbean Poker Series, which will take place at The Casino Aruba at Hilton from September 26 to October 6, and offer players of all levels the chance to compete for prestigious prizes.
“A collaboration between Moneymaker Poker Tour and The Caribbean Poker Series will create a synergy that benefits both organizations, as well as poker players and fans around the world,” said Craig Evans, Managing Director of the Caribbean Poker Series.
The Moneymaker Tour Main Event will bring players three days of fun poker action from Friday, October 4 to Sunday, October 6, 2024. The $1,500 buy-in Main Event, will bolster a guaranteed prize pool of $200,000.
Established by 2003 WSOP Champion and ACR Team Pro, Chris Moneymaker and Moneymaker Tour Executive Manager, Tony Burns in 2023, the Moneymaker Tour was conceived as a way to provide poker players with the opportunity to experience their own ordinary to extraordinary moments, mirroring Moneymaker’s journey.
“Chris Moneymaker’s Main Event win in 2003 not only had an impact on poker in the United States, but around the globe. We are excited to partner with the Caribbean Poker Series to host our first international Moneymaker Tour Main Event”, said Tony Burns, Executive Manager.
The Moneymaker Tour, which saw its inaugural stop in May 2023, has been steadily increasing in popularity. Its second series of 2024 at Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida, drew players from around the globe, where Pavlos Kasselouris seized victory in the $500,000 guaranteed Main Event, claiming $121,485 in prize money and the coveted Moneymaker crystal trophy.
The Tour’s current stop at Daytona Beach, Florida wraps up today, and after paying out over $600,000 in guaranteed prize pools.
Following the event at Daytona Beach, the Moneymaker Tour will return to Palm Beach Kennel Club in Florida from May 2-14, 2024.

Quick Custom Intelligence Marks Record Growth with 100 New Customer Engagements in 2025
Quick Custom Intelligence (QCI), a leader in applied AI and real-time decision intelligence for gaming and hospitality organizations, announced a strong close to 2025, marked by 100 new customer engagements deployed across hundreds of properties and in excess of 40% compound annual growth across gaming, hospitality, and tribal markets.
The milestone reflects rising demand for technology that enables operators to move from observation to action, as experience-driven businesses seek faster, smarter decision-making across complex operational environments.
“2025 was a defining year for QCI. Reaching 100 new properties demonstrates the trust operators place in us as long-term partners and reinforces our focus on helping teams make better decisions every day,” said Ralph Thomas, CEO of Quick Custom Intelligence.
A key driver of the company’s momentum was the launch of Chatalytics in November 2024, QCI’s conversational and agentic AI capability designed to bring enterprise intelligence directly into daily workflows. In its first year, Chatalytics was adopted by more than 400 properties, making it the most successful product launch in QCI’s history.
Beyond Chatalytics, QCI saw strong adoption across its broader platform, with continued momentum for VizExplorer customers, QCI Player, QCI Customer, and the company’s AGI56 framework, reinforcing a multi-product, multi-market growth strategy.
The company’s expansion spanned North America, Australia, Canada, and Asia, with growing interest across both brick-and-mortar and online offerings.
Entering 2026, QCI reports a strong start to the year, driven by sustained inbound demand and expanding enterprise partnerships.
“We’re seeing tremendous interest as operators move beyond AI curiosity and toward AI accountability. They want solutions that protect revenue, improve efficiency, and enhance the guest experience, and that’s exactly where QCI is focused,” Thomas added.
