      They pile all the money on the table when it gets down to two players. Rumor has it, you can just walk out of the casino with a cardboard box filled with $7+ million in hundred dollar bills.

      cash? no prob. check? fine. casino chips? go for it

      Players are given a Harrah’s Total Rewards Card when they register and their card will be endorsed with their payout position for each event.

      Players are then escorted to a ‘Player’s Services Lounge,’ which is away from the big tournament room. The Lounge is only open to players waiting to be paid their prize money.

      Players are asked if they prefer their payment in chips, cash or wire transfer to a financial institution. Once the payment method is selected and the forms are signed, their payment is automatically processed. The player is then brought to the cashier window and they are done!
