Brand Story
Born in the East.
Evolving for the world.
Who we are
One identity always evolving.
Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) is one of Asia's most distinctive live poker tournament brands. The Red Dragon story began in Macau in 2008. Rooted in Eastern culture and driven by a commitment to continually elevate the tournament experience, the brand has grown into one of the most recognizable names on the Asian poker landscape.
Through every stage of its journey, RDPT has brought together competition, culture and a strong sense of occasion, creating a tournament identity that is unmistakably its own.
From Macau to a
growing international stage.
The Story Begins
The first Red Dragon event was held in Macau, introducing a tournament identity inspired by one of the most powerful symbols in Eastern culture.
A New Chapter in Korea
Red Dragon was established in Korea as an independent tournament brand, marking the beginning of a new phase in its international development.
Expanding into the Philippines
The brand extended its presence into the Philippines, further strengthening its reach across Asia's key poker markets.
The Return of Red Dragon
Following the disruption experienced across the live-events industry, Red Dragon made its highly anticipated return with the Red Dragon Poker Tour (RDPT) in Jeju, Korea.
The event set a new regional attendance record for its Main Event, signalling the beginning of a renewed period of growth and expansion for the brand.
RDPT Plus
In April 2026, Red Dragon Poker Tour introduced RDPT Plus, an elevated tournament series representing the next stage of the brand's evolution.
From tournament structures and stage production to championship honours and the overall player experience, RDPT Plus raised the standard across every dimension of the series.
Over 11 days, the inaugural edition awarded 66 trophies and generated more than KRW 13.4 billion, approximately USD 9 million in total prize pools.
The launch marked a defining step towards a more complete tournament ecosystem, a higher level of production and a stronger international presence.
The Red Dragon Spirit
Red Dragon is more than a name. The spirit lives on.
The dragon is one of the most enduring symbols of ancient Eastern civilisation, an emblem of honour, strength, presence and an unwavering drive to rise.
For RDPT, the Red Dragon represents more than cultural heritage or visual identity. It embodies a philosophy of constant evolution: remaining fearless in competition, breaking through every challenge and continually pursuing a higher standard.
This spirit is reflected throughout the Red Dragon experience, in the intensity of the competition, the prestige of its championship titles and the ambition behind every new chapter.
To create a stage where every new chapter reaches higher.
Red Dragon Poker Tour will continue to develop its international presence while remaining true to the cultural identity, competitive spirit and commitment to progress that have defined the brand since 2008.
