The World Poker Tour has released the full schedule for its inaugural WPT Macau festival in June, featuring a busy 12-event schedule and buy-ins ranging from HK$5,000 (US$640) to HK$200,000 (US$25,540).

Scheduled to run from 18 to 24 June at Wynn Palace in Cotai, WPT Macau represents the WPT’s first ever Macau series and becomes its third main tour stop in the Asia-Pacific region after WPT Australia, which debut in 2022, and WPT Cambodia which debuted in January of this year.

The festival kicks off on Tue 18 June with a HK$8,000 SuperStack event and a HK$50,000 Mini High Roller, while the HK$40,000 WPT Macau Championship event gets underway on Thursday 20 June with the first of two Day 1 flights.

Other highlights include the HK$100,000 High Roller and HK$200,000 Super High Roller, while a series of satellites into the WPT Macau Championship and the High Roller will run during the early stages of the week.

As reported by Inside Asian Gaming, The Venetian Macao ran Macau’s first official poker tournament in six years in March, however WPT Macau will become the first international poker series to grace the city’s shores since the 2018 closure of the PokerStars Live room at City of Dreams.
