The first edition of the event was held in July 2015 and featured a $500,000 buy-in, drawing a field of 43 players. Brian Rast won the inaugural tournament, earning $7,525,000.[1] For its second year, the tournament was moved to May and the buy-in was lowered to $300,000. Entries increased to 49 and Rainer Kempe captured the first prize of $5,000,000.[2] The third year would attract 56 entrants as Christoph Vogelsang defeated Jake Schindler to win the $6,000,000 first-place prize, and ensure back-to-back titles for Germany.[3]

There would be three Super High Roller Bowls held during 2018, and in March, the first international stop of the series would take in place at the Babylon Casino in Macau, China. Justin Bonomo defeated Patrik Antonius and the 75-entrant field to win the HK$37,830,000 (~$4,823,077) first-place prize.[4] In May, 48-entrants would play Super High Roller Bowl 2018, and Bonomo would become the first back-to-back champion when he defeated Daniel Negreanu heads-up to win the $5 million first-place prize.[5] The fifth installment of the Super High Roller Bowl would take place in December as Isaac Haxton topped the 36-entrant field, and Alex Foxen heads-up, to win the $3,672,000 first-place prize.[6]

The Super High Roller Bowl expanded to four new countries beginning in 2019 with the Aspers Casino in Stratford, England hosting Super High Roller Bowl London. Cary Katz topped the 12-entrant field to win the £2,100,000 (~$2,610,317) first-place prize.[7] In November, Baha Mar Casino in The Bahamas hosted Super High Roller Bowl Bahamas, and attracted 51 entrants. Daniel Dvoress defeated Wai Leong Chan to win the $4,080,000 first-place prize.[8] In February 2020, The Star Gold Coast hosted 16 entrants for Super High Roller Bowl Australia as Timothy Adams captured the AU$2,150,000 (~$1,446,112) first-place prize.[9] Adams would become the second player to win back-to-back Super High Roller Bowl titles when in March 2020 he won Super High Roller Bowl Russia for $3,600,000 after defeating Vogelsang heads-up to top the 40-entrant field.[10]

In June 2020, the first online Super High Roller Bowl would be held on partypoker and be a $102,000 buy-in. Justin Bonomo won his third Super High Roller Bowl title after he defeated Michael Addamo heads-up, and topped the 50-entrant field to win the $1,775,000 first-place prize.[11]

The Super High Roller Bowl made its debut at the Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa in North Cyprus in August 2021. The buy-in was $250,000 and it attracted 41 entrants as Wiktor Malinowski defeated Ivan Leow heads-up to win the $3,690,000 first-place prize.[12] In September, Super High Roller Bowl VI was held inside the PokerGO Studio and attracted 21 players as Michael Addamo denied Justin Bonomo his fourth Super High Roller Bowl title to collect the $3,402,000 first-place prize. [13]

The Super High Roller Bowl returned to the Merit Royal Hotel Casino & Spa in North Cyprus in April 2022 with a 32-entrant field creating a prize pool of $8,000,000. Jake Schindler defeated Paul Phua heads-up to win the $3,200,000 first-place prize.[14] Super High Roller Bowl VII was held from inside the PokerGO Studio from October 5-7, 2022, with the 24 player field creating a prize pool of $7,200,000. Daniel Negreanu defeated Nick Petrangelo heads-up to win the $3,312,000 first-place prize; the second largest win of his career and second biggest lifetime tournament score.[15][16]

Super High Roller Bowl VIII was held from inside the PokerGO Studio from September 28-30, 2023. The 20-player field created a prize pool of $6,000,000, and Isaac Haxton defeated Andrew Lichtenberger to win the $2,760,000 first-place prize. This was Haxton's second Super High Roller Bowl win, and the second-largest score of his poker career.[17]

For the first time in Super High Roller Bowl history, a Pot-Limit Omaha event was announced to take place from October 16-18, 2023.[18] The buy-in of $100,000 was the biggest Pot-Limit Omaha tournament buy-in in the world at the time, and it attracted a 38-entrant field and created a prize pool of $3,800,000 that paid the final seven players. Jared Bleznick defeated Isaac Haxton heads-up to win the $1,292,000 first-place prize.[19]
