Winamax and Moundir have launched the official casting call for “La Dernière Table,” a hybrid reality-adventure and poker series set to air on RMC Story. The format will transport twelve players to the Tunisian desert near Hammamet for intensive tactical competition, offering a grand prize of 50,000 euros.
The show aims to capture both poker enthusiasts and reality TV viewers. But the mechanics of how these contestants get selected involve a twist that has already set the online community buzzing.
The Bottom Line
- The Format: Twelve players (six men and six women) will spend eight days filming in Tunisia from October 20 to October 28, 2026, competing across poker matches, physical trials, and strategic challenges.
- The Entry Point: Winamax is hosting free online qualifiers (freerolls) on August 25, 26, and 27, 2026, offering players a direct, zero-cost pipeline to television.
- The Twist: Moundir will enter the qualification freerolls under the pseudonym “AIGRIXINE,” forcing players to beat him to secure their seats.
Bridging Digital Poker and Primetime Television
The program marks the return of an emission of poker on a national channel, several years after La Maison du Bluff. According to coverage from L’Amateur de Poker, Moundir spent over a year working to bring this production to life despite various hurdles. The partnership with Winamax creates a funnel from digital play to a television environment.
As noted by Entrevue, the schedule is: twelve finalists will gather under the Tunisian sun for eight days of intensive shooting, from October 20 to October 28, 2026, ahead of an expected broadcast on RMC Story in early 2027.
The Mechanics of the Free-to-Play Casting Call
The path to the Tunisian desert begins online. Winamax has structured the qualification process to ensure that talent matters more than budget. Three initial freeroll tournaments will run on August 25, 26, and 27, 2026, each boasting a guaranteed prize pool of 500 euros and admitting the top 100 finishers to the next stage.
Moundir is scheduled to participate in each preliminary freeroll under the screen name “AIGRIXINE.” If he finishes among the top 100, only the players ranked ahead of him will secure their qualification for the finale.
| Event / Phase | Date | Key Details |
|---|---|---|
| Online Freerolls | August 25–27, 2026 | Three free-to-play tournaments on Winamax; top 100 players from each advance. |
| Grand Finale Qualifier | August 29, 2026 | Top contenders battle for the final two spots heading to Tunisia. |
| Production Window | October 20–28, 2026 | Eight-day shoot in Hammamet, Tunisia, featuring 12 contestants. |
| Television Broadcast | Early 2027 | Scheduled to air on RMC Story. |
Why This Format Shift Matters for European Media
By integrating an online poker operator into the casting, RMC Story is proposing an approach to poker by mixing codes of adventure shows with those of competition. The program benefits from the support of Winamax.
The emphasis on physical challenges alongside card play separates this venture from standard tournament coverage. Players will have to manage alliances, emotional fatigue, and table reads under desert conditions.
The Road Ahead for the Final Twelve
With applications now officially open via shortaudition.net, the race is on for aspiring strategists looking to join the cast. Once the final two qualifiers touch down in Hammamet to join the rest of the cast, they will be able to compete for the 50,000 euros reserved for the winner of the show.
