Which Riverside Casino & Golf Resort Stop Does This Guide Cover?

Riverside also hosts a March 16–21 MSPT Festival and a November 2–7 Festival in 2027. Those are separate stops. This guide covers the July state championship, so March or November flight times should not be used to plan this event.

Recurring tour stops can share a venue and similar event names while using different guarantees, tournament lineups and registration rules. Use the event year and full festival dates to identify the correct schedule.

⠀

Main Event and Guarantee

The Main Event has an advertised $300,000 guaranteed prize pool. This is the Main Event guarantee, not a first-place payout or a guaranteed return for an individual entrant.

The Main Event buy-in, starting stack, blind levels and flight times have not yet been confirmed in an available event-specific schedule. No entry fee or structure from a previous visit is being presented as the 2027 format.

When the official schedule is released, compare the available flights with any potential return days. A flight that fits an arrival date may still require a later stay if the player advances.

⠀

Schedule, Satellites and Registration

The tour’s current listing confirms the stop but does not yet provide an accessible event-by-event schedule. Side events, satellites, re-entry conditions and registration deadlines require the published materials for this exact festival.

Before choosing tournaments, check:

• Main Event flight dates and starting times

• Day 2 and any additional return days

• Buy-ins, fees and advertised guarantees

• Starting chips, blind levels and registration cutoffs

• Re-entry and multiple-flight rules

• Satellite seat awards and entry restrictions

Do not assume that a schedule link on the tour calendar means the document has been released. The MSPT calendar is the source to monitor for the completed schedule.

Playing at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort

For the property’s poker facilities and visitor information, read the Riverside Casino Poker Room Guide. The room guide complements the tournament schedule; event-specific registration and structures remain subject to the organizer’s published rules.

Allow time on the first visit to locate tournament registration and complete any required player-account or identification steps. Check current venue access and parking arrangements before leaving for the property.

Planning Your Tournament Visit

Keep bookings flexible while the Main Event timetable is pending. The full festival window can help with early planning, but it is not a substitute for confirmed flight dates.

Set a tournament budget once the entry fee and re-entry rules are published. If satellites are offered, read their qualifying conditions before counting on a seat. Review the official MSPT listing again before travel for any changes to dates, guarantees or schedule availability.
