Cardplayer’s Mixed Game Festival returns to the Bellagio this June

The Bellagio Las Vegas will play host to the 11th Cardplayer Lifestyle Mixed Game Festival, taking place between June 8-12 and then again on June 15-19. It’ll be taking place in the middle of the World Series of Poker tournament, which occurs between Tuesday, May 27, and Wednesday, July 16.

However, Cardplayer won’t be directly involved with the WSOP, but with BetMGM. Announced alongside the dates are grad prizes, including four $3,500 seats to the BetMGM Poker Championship. BetMGM plans to run this tournament between June 30 and July 4 at the ARIA in Las Vegas.

These seats will be given away during the following events and dates:

• June 8: Those seated and playing during the festival “during halftime of Game 2 of the NBA finals” will be entered into a draw.
• June 12: A blind PLO flip will be done at active tables “at some point during the day.” The flip will have a second round, which will decide who gets the seat goes to.
• June 15: A randomly selected player will have to answer three questions in a row, with the draw continuing until there’s a winner.
• June 19: Those seated and playing will be entered into another competition to see who can win the “special “chip count””.

The Mixed Game Festival XI is a low-stakes slew of games, with bets ranging from $4/8 and $8/16, with “higher stakes available upon request.” Owner of Cardplayer Lifestyle, Robbie Strazynski, will host the event.

Thrilled to release details of our biggest ever @PokerLifeMedia Mixed Game Festival!

Over 10 days at @BellagioPoker, we'll be giving away FOUR $3,500 seats to the 2025 @BetMGMPoker Championship!
