The Genting Poker Series is gearing up for the ninth edition of the tour and it is one of the busiest yet with 16 stop confirmed for the 2020 GPS.
Twelve of the 16 scheduled GPS Main Events only cost £225 to enter yet feature a £35,000 guaranteed prize pool. These events tend to perform well and surpass their guarantees. For example, last year's Reading leg saw Patrick Phelan top a field of 284 to bank £10,595 for his £225 investment.
Likewise, David Leyland walked away with £14,000 after a three-handed deal, in the Liverpool Queen Square leg.

GPS Started Back in 2012
Genting Poker Series started life in 2012 and quickly lost its tag of the newcomer to become a popular addition to the British live poker schedule.
Ruslan Vlasov became the inaugural GPS champion when he outlasted 364-opponents at Genting Club Star City, Birmingham. Vlasov netted £18,200 after a five-way deal involving Neil Ryder, David L'Honore, Yucel 'Mad Turk' Eminoglou and Don Jones.
The tour appeared to be going from strength-to-strength and Genting began adding some larger buy-in events to the schedule.
Elliott Panyi won the first of these, a £1,600 Main Event at the now-defunct Fox Poker Club in London for £66,900. Richard Milner secured £40,086 from the £880 GPS Grand Final in Sheffield in 2013, with Mark Evans Gambling winnings tax rules for real. winning £54,060 the following year.

By the following year, these £225 Mini legs dominated the schedule, probably because Genting decided to pull its online poker offering on the iPoker Network. This meant no online satellites or online Day 1s and, therefore, reduced numbers all round.

Low Buy-in Market is Saturated
The problem with hosting so many £225 buy-in tournaments is this market is saturated in the UK at the moment. The 2020 GPS has 12 of these events while Grosvenor has almost 40 of its popular 25/25 Series events scheduled throughout 2020.
Genting Resorts World Birmingham Poker Tournament
It feels like there is a market for a mid-stakes poker tour. The PokerStars UKIPT would be perfect right now or the resurrection of the DTD Deepstacks and DTD500 events.
