There will be a total of 32 events with a variety of poker variants including State Championships in Limit, H.O.R.S.E., Omaha 8, Stud 8, Pot-Limit Omaha, Six-handed and of course good old fashioned No-Limit Hold'em.

The poker series will be available to players with all sizes of bankrolls with buy-ins varying from $125 to $1,000 for two day No-Limit Hold'em State Championship. Women won't be left out of the mix either with a $200 Ladies State Championship held as part of the LIPS Tour.

In addition every state champion will receive a cruise for two to Mexico. The cruise will depart in November 2008 from San Diego, CA.

With the recent void left by the World Poker Tour eliminating the World Poker Challenge in Reno from their tournament schedule the Nevada State Poker Championships could be the perfect fix for the poker-player in Reno.

Players will also get a special rate at the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, which features premier dining, entertainment and of course the largest casino in northern Nevada.
