The Leisure World Poker Series

The LWPS is held on board the luxury cruise liner MV Leisure World, for the last 20 years one of the region’s favourite cruise-to-nowhere destinations. The LWPS is conducted in the Treasure Cove, which serves as a dedicated poker room during event days. The Treasure Cove has an attendant bar, a tournament registration ticketing system, ample rest facilities, as well as multiple LCD displays with cable TV connectivity. During LWPS weekends, the venue also conducts Texas Hold’em cash games, and Sit N Go tournaments upon demand.
