“Atlantis’ 25th anniversary launches a new chapter for the resort, unveiling a multimillion-dollar transformation of the Atlantis Casino complemented by renovated guestrooms at The Royal and Michelin star chef dining experiences in time for the WSOP Paradise event
Fresh on the heels of a record-breaking summer in Las Vegas, the World Series of Poker has announced a new tournament series in the Bahamas that will run from Dec. 3-14 in partnership with GGPoker.
WSOP Paradise features a total of 15 bracelet events, with $50 million in guaranteed prize pools. The $5,000 buy-in no-limit hold’em main event alone has a guaranteed prize pool worth $15 million.
WSOP Paradise will have 15 gold bracelets up for grabs at Atlantis Paradise Island. This adds to the record number of ways that poker players can win a gold bracelet these days, whether at the WSOP in Las Vegas during the summer, WSOP Europe, and multiple online series both internationally and in certain states.

“The summer was an unprecedented success, but the vision is equally as ambitious for WSOP Paradise,” said Ty Stewart, SVP & Executive Director of the WSOP. Atlantis also has a great legacy in poker, and we believe this combination of partners can deliver poker’s most powerful new franchise for years to come. Many players say summer in Vegas is the best time of year. We hope that will only be rivaled by winter in paradise.”
Other highlights include a $1,500 mystery bounty tournament with a $5 million guaranteed prize pool, and for high rollers there is a $100,000 buy-in event with another $5 million guarantee, and a $50,000 buy-in event with a $2 million guarantee. There will also be multiple pot-limit Omaha events with seven-figure guarantees.
