Miami: December 8, 2025 : The Cyclones will be taking on the Devils in the final “Jai alai Super Bowl” held at Magic City Jai alai this Friday night at 7pm.
With $200,000 at stake to the winning team, and tens of thousands to be dished out to the players, there is a lot at stake here.
Friday’s doubleheader featured performances that started at 2:30pm and 7pm. The first playoff round featured the Cyclones defeating the Warriors 4 games to 2 with Jairo and Stan securing the Game 6 Match with a perfect 6-0 win in game 3 of their set. Warriors team owner, Ray Lewis, watched the entire performance in the VIP area.
The second half featured the Devils defeating the Fireballs in “overtime” with Benetrix and Roque defeating Joseph and Ikeda 6-2 in a one game playoff. The teams were deadlocked at 3 games apiece and were decided by Division 5 players in a winner take all game to 6 points. An enthusiastic crowd of about 70 were in attendance including team owners. When opened to the public, it’s an entirely different atmosphere. The DJ cranks out songs on a phenomenal sound system right up till the serve is made and then resuming right after the point ends. Young girls and couple of boys did cheerleader-like dances between games to entertain the crowd. A huge difference then the sterile atmosphere from all other performances when no one from the general public is welcome to watch. Unlike Dania Jai alai, you can hear Stu and Andrew announce the games. Nice color programs were available to all and loads of gift baskets were given away to dancers in the crowd. Even former Dania pro and current Puryear Park regular Bob “Garby” got one!
As you likely know, Friday night will the final performance at Magic City Casino before moving two miles north to the original Miami Jai alai, which will be celebrating its 100th anniversary when the new season starts at “JAM Arena”.
