Mohegan Sun will host the tournament alongside festive holiday high hand promotions on June 12-14
Connecticut casino resort Mohegan Sun is launching its summer season with the highly anticipated return of the Summer Kickoff Poker Tournament scheduled for mid-June. It’s one of several tournaments available to players of all levels.
This competitive weekend event will run from June 12 through June 14 in the resort’s poker room. It aims to draw regional players by guaranteeing a significant payout pool for those competing in the popular card game format. Organizers have set the entry fee at a mid-tier price point that ensures competitive play while keeping the action accessible to a broad spectrum of enthusiasts.
The tournament structure accommodates both casual players and serious competitors. Registration opens early each morning in the poker room before the daily flights begin and closes once the seventh level of play commences.
Each participant begins the competition with an identical baseline of chips. But, to further build the prize pool and enhance strategy, players can opt for a small secondary chip add-on at registration. This specific format builds tension early on as players manage their stacks to secure a spot in the final rounds.
Beyond the signature weekend tournament, Mohegan Sun is maintaining high energy throughout the month with dedicated holiday promotions. Card players can take advantage of a specialized high hand promotion on June 19 in celebration of Juneteenth. During this 12-hour window, players who secure a qualifying hand of Aces full or better every twenty minutes will win cash prizes.
The promotional payouts fluctuate depending on the time of day, with peak afternoon hours offering a steady reward and the afternoon and late-night blocks offering an increased reward of $1,000. These promotions run alongside the standard schedule of daily bounty events and traditional card games.
