RDPT PLUS Jeju is now just over a month away, with the Red Dragon Poker Tour set to return to LES A Casino from April 10–21. The series is headlined by the Red Dragon Plus Championship, a KRW 4,000,000 buy-in Main Event carrying a KRW 1.8 billion guaranteed prize pool.

The festival is built around the tour’s “Poker Elevated” concept, highlighting an upgraded player experience both on and off the table.

Players planning to attend can review the full player guide, which includes the complete tournament schedule, blind structures, late registration details, and other key information for the series.

Champion Experience in Focus

While the tournament schedule will be the main draw for most players, RDPT has also focused on how champions will be recognized as part of the “Poker Elevated” experience in Jeju.

The RDPT champion jacket returns as one of the signature prizes on the tour, a familiar sight for players who have followed the series over the years. Winners of key events at RDPT events have long received the jacket as part of the champion’s package, and it remains one of the most recognizable symbols tied to the brand.

Alongside the jacket, champions will also receive a bracelet, while the series trophy will once again feature the Red Dragon design that has appeared at previous stops around Asia. Together, the jacket, bracelet, and trophy form the centerpiece of the winner’s presentation once the final hand has been played.

The idea is simple: winning an RDPT title should feel elevated, both in the moment and long after the tournament ends.

Across the RDPT PLUS schedule, players can also quickly identify which events award these prizes through a simple icon system shown in the official player guide. The icons indicate tournaments that award the bracelet, jacket, and the Final Table Player (FTP) cap.

The full set of champion awards will be presented in four of the festival’s biggest events: the Red Dragon Prestige High Roller, the Red Dragon Plus Championship, the Super U Challenge, and the Red Dragon Prestige Super High Roller. These are the only tournaments on the schedule that carry all three symbols, marking them out as the series’ top championship events.

Other key tournaments on the schedule, including events such as The Dragon Awakening, Baby Dragon Plus, Dragon’s Hoard (PKO), RDPT Mini Main, and Dragon Egg Mystery Bounty, also carry additional champion prizes, though not the full three-award set. Players who reach the final table in designated events will also receive the FTP cap, with the official player guide showing a full breakdown of which tournaments award each prize.

Each major event also features its own variation of the Red Dragon trophy. The Red Dragon Plus Championship trophy stands 47 centimeters tall, with the dragon spiraling upward around the spade, symbolizing the climb through the field to reach the top of the series.

High Roller champions will receive a forward-facing Red Dragon trophy with a sharper design, while the Baby Dragon trophy reflects the early stages of that same journey for players competing in the festival’s mid-stakes events. Side event winners will continue to receive the classic Red Dragon design seen at previous stops, now updated with crystal elements as part of the RDPT PLUS presentation.

Early Bird Packages Enter Final Phase

With the series getting closer, Early Bird Packages are also approaching their final window. These packages combine tournament entries with hotel accommodation, allowing players planning a longer stay in Jeju to organize their schedule ahead of time.

All packages currently remain available, covering Main Event packages, high roller combinations, and opening event entries depending on the type of schedule players are looking to build during the series.

Players looking for a full breakdown of what each package includes can refer to our earlier RDPT PLUS Jeju preview, which explains the different Early Bird options in detail.

Quick Access to Registration

Players heading to Jeju can also complete a few steps in advance to speed up the registration process once they arrive.

The Red Dragon online consent form can be filled out beforehand, with players asked to save a screenshot of the confirmation page after submitting it.

Membership registration can also be completed online and signed digitally. Upon arrival, players simply present their passport and the completed form at the membership desk to receive their card.

Taking care of these steps in advance should help reduce waiting time and make the arrival process smoother.

With RDPT PLUS now just over a month away, the April 10–21 stop at LES A Casino is getting closer. The series is expected to showcase the tour’s “Poker Elevated” concept across its tournament floor, presentation, and champion awards.

Players looking to secure an Early Bird Package can contact the Red Dragon team through any of the platforms below to book their spot. Availability is limited and packages remain open only while spaces last.
