Blackjack players can now register for a $25,000 tournament at Four Winds Casino Resort-New Buffalo on Sunday, Nov. 15. Ten players will receive cash prizes, with $10,000 going to the winner.
Four Winds opened registration Nov. 2 for the tournament, which has a $100 buy-in and an optional $25 add-on.
Four Winds will also hold its $150,000 Keys to Winning giveaway on Saturday, Nov. 14. The promotion includes vehicles, cash, and free slot play across its Michigan and Indiana properties.
Blackjack tournament registration is available at all four casinos
Players can register at the cashier’s cage in New Buffalo, Hartford, Dowagiac, or South Bend.
Buy-ins will also be accepted before the event on Nov. 15, provided space remains. Four Winds says seats are limited, and entry fees are nonrefundable.
The blackjack tournament runs from 1 to 8 p.m. Eastern at the New Buffalo casino, located at 11111 Wilson Road. Seating assignments begin at noon in the table games area.
Participants must be at least 21. Before each promotional round, players will draw their table number and seat position at random.
A $25 add-on doubles the starting chip stack
The $100 buy-in includes $5,000 in tournament chips. Players can purchase an optional $25 add-on for another $5,000 in chips, doubling their starting stack to $10,000 for a total initial cost of $125.
Players may re-enter the next session, but they can earn only one seat in the semifinal round.
The winner will receive $10,000, followed by $5,000 for second place and $3,500 for third. Fourth place pays $2,000, fifth receives $1,500, and sixth earns $1,000. Players finishing seventh through 10th will each collect $500.
