It will be the first time the tour has stopped in Africa, having already touched down in countries such as Spain, France and China. Satellites for the televised event will begin this month on Chilipoker.com and on the iPoker network.

Alexandre Dreyfus, CEO of Chilipoker, said “Chilipoker is delighted to be associated with a world-renowned brand like the World Poker Tour in the creation of this unique and attractive event. With the creation of WPT Marrakech, Chilipoker also intends to emphasize Marrakech’s attributes as a highly desirable destination for European and African poker players.”

In February, Chilipoker announced it was partnering with French Internet service provider Iliad ahead of the regulation of online gaming in France while World Poker Tour Enterprises recently announced its 2008 revenues had fallen.
