The World Series of Mahjong (WSOM) - world’s largest mahjong tournament, will return to Macau this summer in the third-annual WSOM from 19th to 22nd August at the Venetian Macau. The event this year is expanding its size and reach to bring together some of the top mahjong players in the world and provide them with a brand new tournament experience at a world-class venue.

The event will include three separate tournaments, namely the 3-day single-elimination Main Event World Championship, a US$5,000 buy-in High Rollers Event and the US$1,000 buy-in Reach (Riichi Rules) Event, with a prize pool of US$1 million in the combines events and prize money will be paid to the top 32 places in the Main Event.

The organizer of the event said over the last two World Series events we saw extraordinary mahjong players emerge at these tournaments, with an amazing level of skill and competition.

The Venetian will also sponsor a new qualifying series of tournaments this year, “The Venetian Macau Mahjong Tour”, which includes events in Taipei, Tokyo and Sydney.
