The World Poker Tour (WPT) is looking to bring tournament poker back to Asia’s gaming hub of Macau, with CEO Adam Pliska stating the company is “very eager to go there”.
In an exclusive interview with Inside Asian Gaming held during the recent WPT World Championship at Wynn Las Vegas, Pliska revealed he has plans to visit Macau in early 2024 where the WPT continues to explore avenues to host a major tournament series.
“I continue to look I to that,” he said. “We’ve been very eager to go there.”
While a number of Macau’s casinos have opened or reopened poker rooms since border restrictions were eased a year ago – MGM China launched new rooms at both its peninsula and Cotai properties – tournament poker has been sidelined ever since the PokerStars Live room at City of Dreams ceased operations in early 2018.
