The Big Game on Tour is an offshoot of the immensely popular Big Game, though with a slightly different format. For the Big Game on Tour, PokerStars stakes Loose Cannons for $50,000 instead of $100,000, and the blinds are decreased to $100/$200.

The first season of the Big Game on Tour saw Lily Newhouse and poker content creator Nikki Limo selected as the Loose Cannons, while the Season 2 Loose Cannons have yet to be revealed.
