MGM Resorts International Mississippi has developed a year-long poker tournament schedule that accommodates all players, from seasoned champions to novices making their first stop in a casino. Buy-ins steadily increase throughout the tournaments and then culminate with the Million Dollar Heater main event in January at Beau Rivage. Located on the second level of the casino floor, the Poker Room is home to 46 tables including 10 exclusive high limit games. Due to Prince George's County executive order effective December 16, 2020, our casino capacity has been limited to 25%. As a result, the number of tables in play has been reduced during our peak periods.
