​Lauren Varnas, Vice President of Brand Marketing at Hard Rock Digital, commented on the upcoming tournament and the ongoing qualifiers:

​"Hard Rock Bet is built to deliver experiences that go beyond the app, and this tournament brings that vision to life on an incredible scale. Players across four markets will have the opportunity to qualify through popular casino titles they enjoy on our apps before coming together at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood to compete for a $1 million top prize."

​While the tournament will focus on a single date, there will be qualifiers that have already begun on Monday, October 5, with players in Florida, New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario, Canada able to participate through the Hard Rock Bet apps in their respective jurisdictions.

​The qualifiers will run through Sunday, November 29, with eight separate one-week qualifiers in Florida and four separate two-week qualifiers in New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario.

Multiple games to choose from during the multipliers

The qualifiers will be played on popular games already available in Hard Rock Bet’s library, including Cash Eruption, Cleopatra Mysteryof the Lamp Treasure Oasis, Rising Rockets Emperor, Triple Cash Eruption, and others.

​Bethenny Frankel was similarly pleased with the opportunity to be a part of this monumental event, adding:

​"Five million dollars in prizes, a live championship, and a real shot at a million-dollar payday — I built my career on knowing exactly what people want, and what people want is a reason to show up and win big. Hard Rock Bet is handing them that. I’m all in, and on December 12, I’ll be right there when someone’s life changes."
