sixth consecutive year of slot tournament excitement with six
months of thrilling action for thousands of slot players during
which Everi will lead the search for North America’s best slot
tournament player.
“The entire team at Everi can’t wait to bring
the excitement of TournEvent® and the TournEvent of Champions to
our partner casinos in the U.S. and Canada as we build on what has
truly become North America’s premier slot tournament,” said Linda
Trinh, Vice President, Marketing & Promotions at Everi. “Our
imitated but never duplicated event continues to grow and we
believe that this year’s campaign will be the best ever. We are
excited to work with the incredible slot and marketing teams at
Muckleshoot Casino as we kick off six months of excitement and
fun.”
The 2017 TournEvent of Champions will feature
three tour buses visiting nearly 100 casinos across the United
States and Canada, bringing The Money Man to each participating
casino where players will have the chance to be one of the 153
players in the final. Each winning casino representative will
receive $800 in airfare to Las Vegas for themselves and a guest,
ground transfers in Las Vegas, four nights of hotel accommodations,
credits for food and beverage purchases and, most importantly, a
seat at the championship event.
The Million Dollar Event championship will take
place on October 4, 2017, at XS in the Wynn/Encore Las Vegas Resort
where all local event winners will compete for a share of $1.3
million in cash prizes, including a $1 million* top prize.
Conrad Granito, General Manager of Muckleshoot
Casino, added, “We are extremely honored to host the official
TournEvent of Champions kick-off event during our 22nd anniversary
celebration. Last year’s kick-off set an official world record for
the largest slot tournament. We believe this year’s event will
double down on the excitement for the largest TournEvent of
Champions campaign ever. Our players absolutely love Everi’s
amazing TournEvent competition. We believe TournEvent of Champions
provides the high level of energy and fun they’ve come to expect
from the biggest casino in the Pacific Northwest.”
