Fresh off a record-breaking summer at the World Series of Poker, Michael Mizrachi has set his sights on a brand-new challenge—this time, not on the poker felt.
The reigning WSOP Main Event and Poker Players Championship winner has confirmed his appearance at the World Tournament of Slots (WTOS), taking place October 22–26, 2025, at Atlantis Paradise Island in The Bahamas. There, Mizrachi—already a Hall of Famer—will square off in a live heads-up showdown against the newly crowned WTOS champion, giving him the chance to become a rare dual world champion across poker and slots.
The WTOS Main Event will host 500 competitors from around the globe, all chasing the $1 million grand prize in a format organizers call “the most insane odds in gaming.”
What is WTOS?
Now entering its second year, the World Tournament of Slots has quickly established itself as a marquee event in casino gaming. Players qualify by competing in free-to-play social casino games throughout the summer, with the top performers earning a shot at the 500-player live finale in The Bahamas.
The stakes? A life-changing $1 million top prize and the title of World’s Greatest Slot Player.
Last year, Idaho native Stephanie Hall stunned the field by winning the inaugural championship, proving that anyone can walk away a millionaire. She described the energy at Atlantis as “electric” and admitted the moment her name appeared on the advancing list left her “screaming and jumping in disbelief.”
Can Mizrachi’s Run Continue?
Mizrachi’s 2025 WSOP campaign was the stuff of legend. After nearly busting with just three big blinds in the Main Event, he staged an epic comeback, surviving multiple all-in showdowns before capturing poker’s most coveted bracelet and $10 million in prize money.
Known as “The Grinder” for his resilience and fearless style, Mizrachi has stayed hot since his historic summer. In a recent $100/$200 cash game streamed from Venetian Poker Live, he scooped a $91,300 pot during one of his biggest televised wins of the year.
Now, the Miami-born star takes his momentum to The Bahamas, where luck rather than skill could determine his fate. Still, if anyone seems destined to keep the heater alive, it’s Michael Mizrachi.
A Million-Dollar Dream for 500 Players
For the rest of the WTOS field, the dream remains just as bright. With only 500 entries and a guaranteed $1 million first-place prize, players enjoy some of the best odds in gaming.
Whether Mizrachi can add another championship to his decorated career—or a new name emerges from the field like Hall did in 2024—the World Tournament of Slots promises another thrilling chapter in casino history.
