Super Bowl High Roller is 100th event!

November 5, 2001, Cherry Hill, NJ - A couple of milestones are approaching quickly!

In January of 2002, following the '40 & Over Classic', the 13th annual Super Bowl High Roller will become the 100th major tournament staged by High Roller, Inc! High Roller considers a tournament as a

major providing the 1st place prize paid was at least a 5-figure prize. Companion events, such as Sweepers, are not considered majors despite paying 5-figure top prizes. The very first tournament was the event that eventually became the July High Roller. It was staged in August of 1982.

Since that inaugural event, 44 prizes of between $100,000 & $210,000 have been paid! 521 prizes of at least $10,000 have been disbursed! Pat Healy & Rudy Kasimakis, now PBA tour players, each won 7

of those 5-figure prizes, the most won by any player!

No less than 22 of those events paid at least $1 Million to participants and 6 of those paid more than $2 Million! The Senior Classic series, which kicked off in 1993, will go over the $10 Million mark in prize money during this month's Senior Thanksgiving Classic. Another milestone will be reached later in 2002 as the Senior Easter Classic will be the 10th annual of that event.

During the 1999 July event, High Roller reached a major plateau as total payouts reached an unprecedented $50 Million! The total High Roller disbursement is now over $61 Million! Another major milestone was reached just 1 year prior as the 20th tournament of the Senior Classic series was staged.
