TOURNAMENT PLAYER’S
MONTHLY QUALIFIER POKER TOURNAMENTS
Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage
November 27, 2024 to February 26, 2025 


HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
The Poker Room at Agua Caliente Casino Rancho Mirage (hereinafter referred as ACCRM) will hold Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournaments for players who have qualified by playing at least three (3) poker tournaments during the month (any month, but each month is individual to qualify for). There will be (1) one $4,500-dollar Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournament to play, each month. The starting time is 3:00pm. Players that finish in the top ten places on any of these Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournaments will be entered to play in our Tournament Player’s Anniversary Qualifiers Poker Tournament in March 2025. Below is how the money for these Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournaments are collected. We will collect $15 dollars from the buy-ins for all Daily Tournaments, Nightly Tournaments and Weekend Tournaments (Saturdays and Sundays).
 
TOURNAMENT CONTROL SHEET(S):
The dollars allocated for the Prize Pool (i.e. portion of Tournament Buy-Ins along with Tournament Rebuys) along with dollars allocated for the house rake (i.e. what is allocated for the Poker Room Revenue along with what is allocated for the Dealers Tips) are listed on the Tournament Control Sheet. There will also be a separate box that will have the amount collected for the Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournaments. This money collected during each tournament will be sent to the Main Cage with a Cashier Voucher that will state this money is for the Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournaments.
 
SEATING & SIGN UPS:
Players may sign up to play starting two (2) hours before and up to one (1) hour after the start of each event, at the Poker Cashier Podium with the Poker Cashier. Seating will be on a first come, first serve basis, as we have limited seating in the Poker Room. There will be five (5) tables of up to ten (10) seats for a total of fifty (50) seats available at the start of each tournament event.
·       Alternate List:
o   If all fifty (50) seats available are filled, we will use the alternate list format for players waiting to play.
o   All players waiting on the alternate list will get an opportunity to play, as they will get into the tournament as other players get knocked out.
o   Alternate players will also start their participation with the same amount of chips.
 
The tournaments will be held on the last Wednesday of each month, with the exception of December. A tournament schedule will be posted in the ACCRM Poker Room. The schedule is as follows:
 
·      November 27, 2024
·      December 24, 2024
·      January 29, 2025
·      February 26, 2025
 
To qualify for and participate in our end of the month Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournaments, a participant must have played in at least three (3) of our cash buy-in poker tournaments in a one (1) month period (any month, but each month is individual to qualify for).  Their play will be recorded each time they play a cash buy-in tournament by the player having their ACE Club Card swiped by the tournament Poker Cashier (or above) when they sign up to play in one of our tournaments during the month or if they do not have an ACE Club Card the Floor Supervisor (or above) will keep track of all the names written down on the Tournament Control Sheet for each tournament.
 
Player Participation Tracking:
Each day the Poker Room shall maintain the Tournament Control Sheet(s) and compare them against the Bravo Tracking system. As the month goes on, a Poker Floor Supervisor (or above) will update the list of players that have played in three (3) or more tournaments so they can track their tournament participation to see if they are qualified.
 
PRIZE STRUCTURE:
The prize pool consists of $4,500 cash for each month’s Tournament Player’s Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournament. This is a (Survivor Tournament) meaning that the top ten (10) players will receive a $400 cash prizes each plus a $500 dollar bounty payout, (See below).
 
BONUS PAYOUT FOR A BOUNTY PLAYER BEING ADDED
Each Monthly Qualifier Poker Tournament will feature (1) one “Bonus Payout for a Bounty Player Being Added” for a $500 dollar payout to the player that knocks them out of the tournament. This feature player will be either the Poker Room Director, Poker Room Manager, or a Designated Employee to be announced before the tournament starts play.
 
·      If available to play as the designated “Bounty Player” it will be the Poker Room Director, but if he is not available to play than an alternate casino employee will be selected. (TBD)
·       The player that is selected to be the Bounty Player will be announced before the tournament starts.
·      The Bounty Player will select a table to play in a random selection by mixing the tournament table cards face down and then choosing one to be the seat and table they will begin play at.
·      If the bounty player does not get knocked out before the end of the tournament, then the prize pool money that would be designated to go to this bounty player will be divided among the surviving players. (This is a Survivor Payout Tournament, meaning that when it gets to 10 players, the tournament ends and the final 10 players each get $400 dollars, but if the Bounty Player is still in the final 11 players, then the tournament will end and the other 10 players (minus the Bounty Player) will get to split the $500 Bounty Payout among the 10 players remaining.
·      Poker Management will announce that the Bounty Player will not Check Raise during their time of play so that all players know and understand this rule. (This will help to keep any player that might get upset if they get knocked out by the bounty play).
 
 
REGISTRATION FEE AND DEALER TOKES
 
·      Players must register in person with the Poker Room Cashier at the Poker Podium in the Poker Room on tournament days, starting at 1:00PM.
·      Registration will end one (1) hour after the start of each event, with new players being allowed to enter up until that time.
·      Our registration fee will be as follows:
o   The house shall receive a $30dollars from each buy-in for the House Rake. The dealers will receive a $20dollars (Dealer Tokes) from each poker tournament “buy-in”.
