From September 24 to October 4, 2024, the renowned Casino de Marrakech in Marrakech, Morocco, will host the major poker series Unibet Open Marrakech .

Now, organizers are bringing the successful format to Morocco, where players can look forward to 11 action-packed days of poker, over 30 tournaments, and a wide range of buy-ins—from satellites to the prestigious Super High Roller for 25,000 Moroccan dirhams (MAD). Main Events of Unibet Open Marrakech The schedule centers around two key tournaments: the Unibet DeepStack Open (UDSO) and the Unibet Open Main Event . Both events traditionally attract large fields and are considered the signature tournaments of the series. MAD 6,000 UDSO — This tournament opens the festival on Thursday, September 24. Players have four starting flights, running from Thursday to Saturday. In the first three starting days (1A, 1B, and 1C), participants receive a starting stack of 50,000 chips, and each day begins at 3:00 PM. On Saturday evening, Day 1D Turbo will take place with an accelerated structure, starting at 9:00 PM. All players who advance return to the tables on Sunday for Day 2, and the tournament final will be held on Monday, September 28. MAD 12,000 Unibet Open Main Event — The main event of the series, with a buy-in equivalent to the usual €1,100 at Unibet Open stops.
