The Schedule is out for WSOP Circuit events for 2024-2025.

For some mysterious reason North East is again left out !!

One of the biggest Market (New Jersey,New York , Maryland, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Connecticut ) has no circuit stop !!

Covid has long gone ! WSOP 2024 ME has a record breaking attendance.

For unknown mysterious reason WSOP has ignored once again 2nd most lucrative market ( California/ Nevada is No. 1).

* One more observation. It’s not only WSOP ! Since MGM took over Borgata , even Borgata’s Poker events seems like not a priority to the MGM management!!

Is this indicate anything? Is there collective effort by Las Vegas Casino companies to protect Las Vegas Market ?

Any thoughts or logical explanation ?

Although it is several months away, Bally's Twin River casino in Lincoln, RI has announced a partnership with Maverick Gaming to run their poker room and tops on their agenda is bringing in a tournament series. I would check back here or on their website for updates in the coming months.

I agree we need more series in the NE, but as far as I know they've only released the first half of the schedule so far. I am assuming Turning Stone will again have a series in March.

I see a Turning Stone Empire State Championship $460 event in August with a $100K guarantee.

This structure appears to obliterate any circuit series structure of a similar buy-in.
If I did the S Point formula correctly from Plogs site, this August $460 has 115 S points while most $400 wsop circuit events have anywhere from 49 to 65 S points.

Get on the bus, we are heading to Value City.

115 S Point !!

If correct, very attractive

Don't go to foxwoods. They charge a ridiculous rake.

Currently running a $475+$125 for a $600. They show $90 in fees plus $10 addon. Then in fineprint at bottom, they withhold an additional 5% for fees. Double dipping on fees.

Later on. They are running a 950+250 for a $1200.

It’s 107 s-points per my calculation. Still excellent.

I figured they might only hold it at Caesars Entertainment properties and that's why they might have passed on a north east location. But that's not the case.

That would be ok, but it’s not exactly the northeast, is it?

Meh. Southern NJ is pushing it.

In any case, by that standard, this entire thread is pointless since there has been a stop in upstate NY the last few years.

Of course, when most people think of the northeast, they don’t think of Atlantic City or Cow-town USA. It’s surprising the WSOP hasn’t yet come back to CT with both major casinos in that state expanding their poker operations since the pandemic. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see when the 2025 schedule comes out.

When saying Northeast, Atlantic City and Parx are the first things I think of, not some 5K guarantee in New Hampshire somewhere

Yeah, I’m not sure your judgement is a model for anything. But if that’s what you think of, then fine.
