When you set poker’s all-time broadcast cash game record on your livestream there’s only one thing left to do. Do it again.

That’s exactly what Hustler Casino Live announced they are going to do on Wednesday when they unveiled the dates and initial lineup of the 2024 Million Dollar Game. Running from May 28-31 on the Hustler Casino Live YouTube channel, the 2024 Million Dollar Game will start with $500/$1K blinds and, as advertised, requires all players to buy in for a minimum of $1,000,000.

“Playing $500/1K or even $1K/2K blinds isn’t that uncommon for some of the players who will play. Buying in for $1 million, however, is way more rare for most of these players,” Hustler Casino Live co-founder Ryan Feldman said. “The uniqueness of this event, and what appeals to many, is the idea of buying in so deep. You never see $7-10 million on a table. You never see every single player having 1,000 big blinds. This creates a lot of unique hands that have the potential to create massive pots. There are a lot of players who want to be part of this special event. They know that it’s super rare to be able to play in a game like this.”

“We currently have a list of more than 30 players who either are in or might be in. These are players we are interested in for this event. There are other players who want to play, who would play, but probably won’t be invited. For those on our list, we then have to confirm each of those players as we get closer. Once we know who’s confirmed, we’ll figure out the lineups for each day.”

Feldman seems to understand that it may be hard to replicate some of the surprise, shock, and awe of producing the Million Dollar Game for the first time, but he’s confident that the 2024 version will have its own memorable moments to look back on.

“We can’t expect to have a pot bigger than $3.1 million this year. That was super special,” Feldman said. “If we do, that’s amazing, but we aren’t expecting it. We hope to have many pots over $1 million and to build on our viewership records last year, which peaked at 58,000 on the final day. Most importantly, we want to put together better, more entertaining, more action-packed games this year, and we believe we will.”

As for Tom Dwan, the winner of last year’s record-setting $3.1 million hand, his status is currently up in the air.

“I haven’t talked to Tom in a while, but I would love to have him return for this year’s Million Dollar Game.”
