“It’s fitting that the biggest casino event in our company’s history coincides with our 50th birthday. Seeing firsthand the enthusiasm for the $1M Slot Tournament from our guests, I’m looking forward to us building on this with similar events,” said Jonathan Lask, Carnival’s vice president of casino and performance marketing.

Continuing the fun and excitement of this first $1M Slot Tournament, Carnival is now planning more tournaments, including two additional million-dollar slot competitions over the next two years. Next year, the $1M Slot Tournament will take place on Carnival Celebration, departing from Miami, on Oct. 29, 2023. The tournament will return the following spring and will be held on Carnival’s next new Excel-class ship, Carnival Jubilee, departing from Galveston, Texas on May 18, 2024.

More details about the upcoming tournaments can be found on the Casino section of Carnival.com. Guests can reserve a seat for the upcoming tournaments by booking the sailings with a Carnival Players Club offer or with a new open access offer.
