The World Series of Poker Circuit Tournament is returning to Turning Stone Resort Casino later this month, with over $1 million up for grabs, the Oneida Indian Nation announced Monday.

Twelve days of non-stop poker action begins March 16 as players compete for more than $1 million in guaranteed payouts, 16 WSOP Gold Rings and a seat in the $1 million Tournament of Champions in Las Vegas this summer.

The Oneida Indian Nation and World Series of Poker officials kicked off New York’s first-ever WSOP tournament last year, with a special event in The Lounge with Caesars Sports.

Turning Stone is adding 20 additional poker tables this year, for a total of 70 tables.

New this year will be the addition of a Ladies WSOP No Limit Hold’em Tournament, the first-ever in the state, to be held March 24.  Also new this year, the Monster Stack event, the most popular event of last year’s WSOP at Turning Stone, will return as a special two-day event on March 21-22.

Last year’s WSOP Circuit Event brought nearly 11,000 entries including players from 26 states and Canada and more than 1,600 people taking cash winnings home.

In 2022, $4.4 million was paid out to winners throughout the WSOP tournament - four times more than the guaranteed prize pool.
