Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort (pictured), a complex with foreigner-only casinos in Incheon, will watch a poker tournament branded as the "P1 Circuit" to mark the opening of its poker room here.

This follows Friday's press release through event organizer Global Venture Co Ltd. The gathering, which runs from Friday (Aug. 9) to Aug. 15, will be described as "the first tournament event since the opening of Inspire Casino's poker room."

The announcement added that there was an expectation that the tournament would "attract players from Japan and other Asian countries."

The Japanese update added: "This event will be held four times a year in Inspire Korea as a large-scale poker tournament in Japan and is expected to be a new movement in the poker world."

The P1 Circuit went through a 'P1 Grandprix' described as a "new poker business combining poker and entertainment in Japan," according to the document, which states "supervision of the P1 management office."

The statement identified the tournament's organizers as Global Venture Co and its "partnership company" as Pacific Racing Team Co Ltd.

Mohegan Inspire opened its non-gaming facility on Nov. 30 last year, followed by a casino exclusively for foreigners on Feb. 3. There was an official launch for the facility on Mar. 5.

Mohegan Inspire is a U.S.-based company operated by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority as Mohegan Games & Entertainment.
