Crown Poker Series 2024 takes place in April and could signal return of Aussie Millions in 2025

Crown Casino Melbourne, who were the operators of the Aussie Millions, have not run a live poker festival since October 2020 and had publicly stated that the vast country’s most historic and iconic poker tournament was being shelved indefinitely. 

This was sad news to both Australian and traveling poker players, as the Aussie Millions had been one of the highlights of the international poker circuit, with players from all over the world flocking to Melbourne to enjoy the poker and also the tennis, as it was timed to coincide with the Australian Open each year.

For the last few months however there has been a rumour that the event might return in the future and that rumour looks a lot stronger now that Crown Casino has indeed scheduled its first live poker festival in nearly four years. It might not be in time for an Aussie Millions 2024, but next year is looking like a distinct possibility.

The event they are staging is the the Crown Poker Series, which runs from the 2-7 April, 2024 with a A$1,500 main event taking place at the end of the festival, over the weekend of 6-7 April. 

The festival’s four side events includes a Pot Limit Omaha tournament as well as a three further No Limit Hold’em competitions.

There are also several satellites to the main event taking place on the opening few days of the festival. These cost $250+50 AUD to enter and award one seat into the $1,500 AUD for every six entrants.
