What is the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA)

MonteCasino has linked up with the World Pool-Billiard Association (WPA) to host the inaugural competition. The WPA is the international governing body for pocket billiards. WPA tournaments have grown significantly in popularity over the years. The group hosts the World 9-Ball Championships for men, women and junior players, as well as the annual World 8-Ball Championship for men, and the World 10-Ball Championships for men and women. The WPA also holds World Ranking events each year around the world.

Guests will double the above tickets when they earn the required amount of points playing on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. There is no cap on the number of tickets you can earn by playing table games.

Biweekly Cash Draws

Biweekly cash draws will take place on the main Montecasino casino floor. The draws will take place at 8 pm, and they’ll be electronic draws. The tickets will be loaded into TEAADS so that anyone who qualified for the draw has a chance of winning. You’ll receive an SMS that you qualified for the draw. All Rewards Cardholders, whether Black, Platinum or Gold tiered, will have tickets entered into the draw. You can only win once per draw.
