Jay-Z To Host A-List, 007-Themed Blackjack Party For His Charity

Jay-Z will host a James Bond-themed blackjack tournament to benefit his non-profit REFORM Alliance, which is committed to probation, parole, and sentencing reform in the U.S. The event is set for September 30th at Atlantic City’s Oceans Casino Resort and boasts a $1 million pot. Participants must pay a $100,000 buy-in fee in order to play, while non-players will pay $50,000. The guest list reportedly includes Travis Scott, Megan Thee Stallion, Kim Kardashian, DJ Khaled, James Harden, and Emily Ratajkowski. “It was Jay’s idea to make a really small, incredibly exclusive event with the best people in the world,” a source told Page Six. “You can’t buy your way into this party.” Kevin Hart will reportedly emcee the exclusive event, which Jay-Z hopes will raise $20 million for REFORM.
