Poker Hall Of Fame

The Poker Hall of Fame, established in 1979, was acquired by Harrah’s Entertainment along with the World Series of Poker in 2004. Its membership includes poker's most influential players and other important contributors to the game.

There are 18 living members, and to date 40 members have been bestowed the honor.

Traditionally, one or two new members are elected annually. The enshrinement ceremony is now held in concert with the final table of the Main Event of the World Series of Poker, held each November in Las Vegas. The main criteria for the WSOP Hall of Fame are as follows:

A player must have played poker against acknowledged top competition Played for high stakes Played consistently well, gaining the respect of peers Stood the test of time Or, for non-players, contributed to the overall growth and success of the game of poker, with indelible positive and lasting results.
