For over three years now, our Mixed Game Festival series has been a haven for poker enthusiasts who relish the thrill of low-stakes mixed games. Now, as we gear up for Mixed Game Festival X, scheduled for February 16-20, 2025, at Resorts World Las Vegas, we’re taking things to the next level, thanks to the sponsorship of the PokerGO Tour (PGT).
This latest edition of the festival offers serious low-stakes recreational and home game players a unique opportunity to step onto the big stage, with the chance to win one of two $750 seats to the PGT Mixed Games Satellite on February 24.
A Path to Playing with the Pros
The dream of recreational players sitting across the felt from poker’s elite has always seemed distant, but Mixed Game Festival X is here to try and directly bridge that gap. With these satellite seats, low-stakes enthusiasts have a clear, tangible path to test their mettle alongside some of the very best in the game. Those seats will specifically be up for grabs as part of our $300 H.E.R.O.S. tournament on February 20.
But this is more than just an opportunity for the low-rollers—it’s a call to action for the higher-stakes professionals to “give back” to the community. Mixed games thrive on a robust player pool, and festivals like the ones we regularly run help grow that pool. As we all know, money in poker tends to flow up the funnel, meaning that by supporting initiatives like Mixed Game Festival X, the ecosystem of mixed games as a whole becomes stronger.

Mixed Game Pros, We’re Looking at You!
Higher-stakes players, this is your chance to show your support for the game you love. Spend an hour or two splashing around with us in the $4/$8 streets. Take some selfies. Share a few laughs. For the recreational players who join us, these moments are unforgettable. They might even be the spark that ignites their passion for poker for years to come.
And who knows? You might even find yourself rediscovering the joy of the game that brought you to the felt in the first place. Remember, mixed games aren’t just about profit—they’re about passion, creativity, and community.

Reps, Learning, and Fun
Beyond the camaraderie, our Mixed Game Festivals offer pros the chance to get some valuable practice in variants that are tough to find in a traditional poker setting. With dealer’s choice options on the table, you could even encounter a new game that challenges your skills or broadens your horizons. Especially with the PGT Mixed Games series occurring the following week, it couldn’t hurt to get some additional reps in, even if it’s “just” in low stakes cash games.
