Paul Willcock, the President and COO of Genting UK, sent a statement to his employees, which read in part, “The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has caused unprecedented challenges.

It looks certain the long-running Genting Poker Series (GPS) has ran its last event. Launched in 2012, the GPS proved extremely popular in its infancy thanks to its solid bling structures, affordable £440 buy-in and substantial guarantees.
Genting inexplicably closed its online poker arm, which ran on the iPoker Network, a couple of years ago, which had a profound effect on the number of entrants because players could no longer qualify online or play Day 1 online.
Lower attendances and a restructuring of the GPS results in smaller buy-in stops being scheduled. The last GPS event was an £80 buy-in held at Genting Club Stoke on Trent that attracted 397 entrants and awarded £26,966.
