Reservations made I just made reservations and the entry fee includes 2 nights not sure if the lunches are included. Also not that it makes much difference but the fee is $249 .But then ten dollars is ten dollars. Hopefully will be a good warm up for the finals at the Golden Moon Joey
I played at the Biloxi Grand last weekend and registered as well I went down to Biloxi last weekend and played a little at the Beau and the Grand and went ahead and registered for the BJ tourney at the Grand in August. They had the black mercedes SLK 230 out on the floor and it is a good looking car! Hope to see some more of you guys at the tournament!
$50,000 Mercedes Kompressor & Cash Blackjack Tournament On their website, the Grand changed this: 231 PLAYERS MAX, PLUS ONE GUEST EACH. to this: 308 PLAYERS MAX, PLUS ONE GUEST EACH. Anyone want to check the math and see how the prizes measure up to the new numbers? What is the format and rules for this one? Sentry P.S. This part has NOT been revised on their site: *Must be 21 or older to attend and participate. Must attend Registration to receive round assignments. Must call in to reserve a spot. Space is limited to 231 participants. Subject to change or cancellation.
Prize Money I'm surprised they would expand the tournament so much, but I wouldn't worry about the prize money. They have always paid out more than advertised. In my experience, the money for 2nd-7th has increased by about 75%. That was based on 231 players and re-buys. There is a "catch 22" card in this tourney as well. On any hand that you bust with 22, you may throw out the card and save your bet.
