Various reasons have led to the surge in demand for poker games in the United States this year

The ongoing WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Exhibition has set a WPT record with 2,482 participants, which shows that the poker tournament in the United States is booming. Of course, there are reasons for this, including players' pent-up playing needs, but the exact answer may be more complicated. Matt Savage, the executive director of the WPT, took the Seminole Hard Rock Poker Exhibition as an example and gave many reasons for this.

The WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Exhibition currently held in South Florida has set a WPT record with 2,482 participants. Even though there are anti-epidemic measures such as mask requirements and glass partitions on the card table, the players have no intention of backing down.
According to the current game situation, this event is nearly 18% more than the 2112 players predicted by Savage. This also shows the players' enthusiasm and eagerness to participate in the poker game.

The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Room is one of the top poker rooms in the United States, but this is not the only reason for the record number of participants in the WPT.

For this, Savage, the executive director of WPT, gave us several reasons:

• 1: The organizer has done a good job in holding activities.

• 2: Seminole’s director of poker, Bill Mason, has outstanding abilities and is "the main reason for SHR's success".

• 3: Players' pent-up demand for playing cards.

• 4: The service quality of the property and the beautiful spring weather in South Florida.

Other reasons he gave include the mixing of professional players and casual players, the rise of cryptocurrency to provide poker players with more disposable income, and the unparalleled player-friendly atmosphere created by the World Poker Tour.

Finally, he admitted that there is no competition at all. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, there were many options for large-scale poker events, and not just in the United States. But many events such as the Australian Millions, multiple WPT events, and almost all live high rollers have been canceled this year.

As Savage said, the WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Exhibition is more likely to benefit from the limited options available.
