Poker players demand answers after MGM National Harbor breaks $40K guarantee
The RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix at the MGM National Harbor Casino in Maryland recently concluded, but not without controversy. The series, held from October 27 to November 3, promised a total guaranteed prize pool of over $500,000. However, a $40,000 guarantee for a specific event was not honored, sparking outrage among players. Mac Chatham, a professional poker player, alleges that the $40,000 guarantee for the $2,200 Purple Chip Bounty Event was not met. Despite the guarantee being clearly listed on the casino's website and on promotional flyers, the casino later claimed it did not exist. Chatham, with over $300,000 in live earnings, is not alone in his frustration. Other players on social media have echoed his concerns, with some pointing out that only 20 players were needed to meet the guarantee. Chatham further alleges that this is not an isolated incident. He claims there have been 'frequent mistakes posted on the website' with 'zero accountability' from the casino. This has raised questions about the casino's commitment to transparency and player satisfaction. The RunGood Poker Series Grand Prix at the MGM National Harbor Casino has left a sour taste in the mouths of many players due to the unmet guarantee for the Purple Chip Bounty Event. The casino's handling of the situation has raised concerns about its communication and accountability. As the casino continues to host poker events, players are calling for clearer communication and more transparency to prevent such issues in the future.
