Caesars Entertainment first launched its Millionaire Maker event in 2013, and the gaming giant announced the iconic slot tournament—now the largest in its history—will return next month.
According to a press release, Caesars unveiled plans for the 2026–2027 Millionaire Maker Series. Beginning next month, the tournament will span several months and culminate in a high-stakes, two-day finale in Las Vegas in April 2027. The series features a total prize pool of more than $3.5 million.
“The Millionaire Maker is one of the most celebrated events ever offered by Caesars, and its return marks a major moment for our loyal Caesars Rewards members,” said Josh Jones, chief marketing officer for Caesars Entertainment.
“This revitalized program brings together the legacy of the Millionaire Maker brand with new formats, digital participation, and even more opportunities for big wins.”
Caesars Rewards qualifying events and online play
The 2026 iteration is designed as the most accessible version of the program to date. When it kicks off next month, the series will feature stops at more than 50 Caesars destinations across North America and, for the first time, across the company’s full suite of online platforms. This includes Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino.
From April to December 2026, Caesars Rewards members can earn their way to the Las Vegas finale through:
- Specially branded qualifying events across “the Empire”
- Local and regional slot tournaments
- Promotional drawings and online casino participation
During the Las Vegas finale in April 2027, qualified players will compete for more than $2 million in prizes. At the conclusion of the event, the top two finalists will each receive $1 million, while additional prizes will be awarded to other top-performing players.
