As you arrive on Friday, September 19 or Saturday the 20th, please make your way towards the gaming vessel. As you approach the entrance, you will see the Majestic Star Club Card Booth. We ask that you bring a valid ID (required to play in any of our tournaments and to board the gaming vessel) on this day. Please step up to the Club Booth and have a Majestic Star Club Card created for you if you do not currently have a Majestic Star Club Card.

Proceed down the barge towards the Majestic Star Lounge (you will be facing the Lounge as you have your Card created). There a Poker Supervisor will register you for the Tournament with your new Club Card. In the President’s Lounge where you register, please help yourselves to a complimentary Continental Breakfast! (Saturday morning only)

Once you have registered, please make your way onto the Majestic Star II Gaming Vessel. As you leave the Majestic Star Lounge, it will be on your right hand side. Make your way to the Poker Room located on the very top level of the vessel. There you will take your Tournament registration form to the Cage located in the Poker Room and will pay your entry fee.
