The Poker Experience
Like all venues in mainland China, Chimelong Hengqin Bay Hotel does not host cash games. Instead, the hotel operates as a host venue for the China Poker Games (CPG) series. These events use a “ticket-based” system where players qualify through sanctioned mobile apps or satellite clubs.
In October 2025, the hotel successfully hosted the CPG Tour Hengqin Bay, featuring a massive tournament schedule and international participation. For 2026, the venue remains a primary stop on the CPG circuit. During these events, the grand ballrooms are converted into professional poker halls with RFID-equipped feature tables, offering a level of production that rivals major tours in Las Vegas or Macau.
