Following eight hugely successful years of the tournament, which is held across nine days at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall, the Singha Beer Grand Slam of Darts will become a PDC ranked event in 2015, with prize money won to count on the main PDC order of merit.
Players from within the PDC system will be able to qualify automatically by winning, or reaching the final of, major PDC tournaments throughout 2015 - plus the 2014 Grand Slam, Players Championship Finals and World Youth Championship - up to a maximum of 16 spots.
The automatic qualifiers would currently include PDC World Champion and premier league champion Gary Anderson, 2015 Masters winner and UK Open champion Michael van Gerwen as well as reigning Grand Slam champion Phil Taylor and his World Cup of Darts-winning partner Adrian Lewis.
World Youth Champion Keegan Brown will also compete in the event, with Dave Chisnall, Peter Wright, Raymond van Barneveld and Rowby-John Rodriguez standing by to compete from the list of major finalists.
Alongside the 16 automatic PDC qualifiers, eight players will come from a PDC Qualifier which will be held on October 23 in Coventry.
In addition, eight players will represent the BDO system in the tournament, with invitations being issued to BDO Lakeside World Champion Scott Mitchell, runner-up Martin Adams, 2015 World Trophy champion Geert De Vos and the 2014 World Masters winner Martin Phillips.
A further four BDO Qualifiers will also compete in Wolverhampton, with two to come from a UK qualifying event on Tuesday October 6 and two from a European qualifying event, which will be held on Sunday October 18. Full details will be available in due course.
The Singha Beer Grand Slam of Darts was first staged in 2007 and has been won six times by Phil Taylor, with Scott Waites taking the 2010 title and Raymond van Barneveld claiming glory in 2012.
The Singha Beer Grand Slam of tungsten darts will be played from November 7-15 at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall.

World Matchplay Tungsten Darts Semi-Finals Ⅲ

Van Gerwen booked his place in the final for a second successive year with a 17-12 win over Wright in their last four contest, as he seeks to go one step further and claim the title to erase the memories of his loss to Taylor 12 months ago.
Van Gerwen has since claimed major ranking titles at the World Grand Prix, European Championship, and UK Open, and continued his challenge for a first World Matchplay win with a dominant display against Wright.
The Scot shared the opening six legs in a high-quality start, but was blown away by a five-leg burst as the Dutchman pulled into a lead which he would never lose.
After double 18 gave Wright the opener, van Gerwen hit two 180s in an 11-darter to level, the Scot finished 86 on the bull for a 12-darter and the world number one finished 90 on double ten to level.
Wright then traded 180s with van Gerwen as a 14-darter moved him 3-2 up, but the Dutchman levelled with a 104 checkout - after his opponent missed the bull - before breaking with a 13-darter to move 4-3 up.
Van Gerwen then finished 72, 90 and 56 as the opened up a 7-3 cushion before Wright took two of the next three to pull back to 8-5.
Tops from van Gerwen punished Wright in the next, before the number five seed produced an outstanding 161 checkout to hit back to 9-6 - only for his rival to finish double eight and double ten to move five legs clear.
Wright won two of the next three to hit back to 12-8, and after van Gerwen finished double ten and double one for a 14-8 lead, his revival continued with double 19, double 12 and an 11-darter to reduce the gap to just three legs.
The next, though, went to van Gerwen as he edged out to 15-11, with the pair trading 180 as Wright finished a second 11-darter in three legs to win his 12th leg of the contest.
However, van Gerwen fired in his tenth 180 in a 13-darter to move to the brink of victory, and sealed his spot in the final with a stunning ten-dart finish which featured scores of 174 and 171.
"This is fantastic for me," said van Gerwen. "It was a great performance and though I can do better than this, but I really enjoyed this win.
"Peter is a good player but today he wasn't as good in his doubles and his finishes at the right moments, and I'm glad I did. Going 7-2 up made the game and after that deep inside my heart I knew I was not going to lose the game.
"It's a fantastic feeling and I hope I can carry this on for the final. I'm feeling really good."
Van Gerwen had been left in tears following last year's defeat to Taylor, but will now focus on a different opponent - Wade - in this decider.
"In one way it's a bonus but I also wanted to play Phil because revenge would be nice!" he said. "I'm a big favourite against James but he played phenomenal darts to beat Phil and I have to prepare myself as well as possible because he's a fantastic player.
"I want to use my confidence in the next game and do my own thing and try to beat him. I've never won this tournament and he has, so it's my turn!
"It would be really special to win and I hope I can see myself holding the trophy tomorrow night."

Wade, though, won the next two with a 13-darter and double six, after a 177 score left 24, as he moved to the brink of victory at 16-12.
The tension rose as he missed eight match tungsten darts at doubles in leg 29, with Taylor staying in the hunt with double 16 before finishing double six to pull back to 16-14.
Wade, though, regained his composure with scores of 140, 174 and 140 to pull clear in the next leg and finished tops for a 12-darter to complete a famous triumph.
"Phil's beaten me so many times so I'm a bit numb, but I'm really happy," said Wade. "I didn't expect Phil to play like that but I've beaten him and can look forward to the final.
"I've not played my best but I caught a man when he is struggling, and Phil doesn't normally struggle here so I'm very grateful; it's a big weight off my shoulders.
"He didn't score or finish like he normally would; in patches he did but I stuck with him until ten-all and it seemed to break him a little bit.
"I've got the self-belief at the moment. I've had hidings from Phil, been up there before and he's punched me all around the stage and normally he beats me and beats me, and this time he didn't have any big punches in him.
"I came here tonight and had a good idea of what was going to happen, and I thought I was going to play much better. I hit probably six finishes with my last darts.
"I missed a few match tungsten darts and hoped I hadn't messed it up, but it's hard to beat a great player like Phil Taylor - what he's done in darts will go down in history."
Wade will be appearing in his sixth World Matchplay final, and added: "I wanted to play Phil Taylor this week and Michael too, because I'm feeling good and I want to play against the best."

Taylor had been undefeated since 2007 in the prestigious World Matchplay and was bidding to win the title for an eighth successive year and a 16th time in total after battling through to the last four.
However, Wade - who went on to win the title in 2007 after Terry Jenkins had knocked out Taylor - held his nerve to claim a memorable triumph as he put himself into the final in Blackpool for a sixth time.
Wade had levelled twice after trailing 3-1 and 7-5 before moving into a lead he would never relinquish at 13-10 and 16-12 before holding off Taylor's late rally to end his 38-game winning record on the Winter Gardens stage.
Finishes of tops, double 18 and double seven gave Taylor three of the first four legs, and after Wade hit back with a 120 finish an outstanding ten-darter put the reigning champion 4-2 up.
Taylor then opened leg seven with 180 and 140, but a 168 score from Wade applied the pressure before he punished a miss at double 13 by hitting tops for a 13-darter to hit back.
Taylor produced a fine 12-darter to take a 5-3 lead, but Wade responded with a 180 in a 14-darter before breaking throw on tops - after his opponent missed the same bed - to level.
Taylor took the next two with the aid of 180s for a 7-5 cushion, but the left-hander again hit back as he took the next four legs - punishing missed doubles from the Stoke great in three - to move 9-7 up, with 76 and 64 combinations proving key in that run.
Wade then missed two darts to extend his advantage as Taylor finished 97 with a single 19, double 19 and double top checkout, and a 14-darter which included a second 177 opening of the game saw him level at nine-all.
The next two were also traded before Taylor's miss at tops in the 21st leg allowed Wade in on the same bed to edge 11-10 up, and he then finished 84 and 65 to pull three legs clear.
Taylor kicked off the next with a 174 score as he replied with an 11-darter before the duo traded 180s as double ten moved Wade 14-11 up, only for the left-hander to miss the bull for a 161 checkout as his opponent took leg 26.

Wade took two of the next three, despite a 13-darter from van Gerwen, before a missed bulls-eye from the left-hander for a 167 finish allowed the Dutchman to land double 18 for a 12-8 advantage.
Although Wade took the next to punish missed doubles from van Gerwen, the top seed finished 72 to restore his lead and double 16 in successive legs to move 15-9 up.
Wade claimed two of the next three to stay in the hunt, but an eighth 180 of the game helped van Gerwen move 17-11 up, and despite double ten keeping the left-hander's hopes alive, another maximum helped him set up tops for a 14-darter to seal glory.
Wade's defeat saw him lose out for a fifth time in the final in Blackpool, and he conceded: "It's an honored to be in the final but I let myself down a little bit. From start to finish I struggled, and I wasn't good enough.
"I'm devastated, because I know I was good enough to win that final but I laid down and got steamrollered.
"I'm happy to be in the final and to mix it with the best players in the world again, but I'm not happy with how I played. It's almost as if someone cut my arm off, and the most simple shots became hard work.
"I expected Michael to come out all guns blazing and he didn't do it, but he did it when it mattered. He's a true champion and he did a job against me and won quite comfortably.
"I'm really happy with how it's gone this week and I can take positives from the other games this week, but hats off to Michael."
Van Gerwen's victory also means that he has moved, for the second time, beyond £1 million on the PDC Order of Merit after taking his prize money in ranking events for the past two years to £1,059,750.

The Dutch star, 26, erased the memories of last year's tears in defeat to Phil Taylor with a magical display to defeat Wade, the 2007 Matchplay Tungsten Darts winner who was seeking his second Blackpool title.
Wade had ended Taylor's seven-year reign as World Matchplay champion in Saturday's semi-finals, but was unable to repeat the performance against the world number one as van Gerwen scooped the £100,000 first prize.
After sharing the first ten legs, a five-leg burst from van Gerwen - including checkouts of 127 and 144 - saw him pull clear to lead 10-6 and take a cushion which he would never relinquish as he charged to glory.
"This is fantastic, amazing for me and it's a wish come true," said an emotional van Gerwen afterwards. "It means a lot to me because after the World Championship this is the biggest ranking event.
"It's totally different to last year. Everybody could see how emotional I was after that game and it means a lot to me to win this trophy.
"I knew what I had to do but we both struggled a bit and couldn't get going for some reason, maybe the pressure of holding this title. James' scoring power wasn't there and he was hanging in there in the game with his finishing.
"He's a difficult player to play against but my scoring was loads better than James' and I wanted to take advantage of that. It doesn't matter how you win a final, to win a final feels great."
After celebrating in front of a capacity 2,000 fans in Blackpool, he added: "The crowd were fantastic and I'm really glad to have won this trophy in front of a crowd like this."
An edgy opening saw van Gerwen break throw immediately before Wade level with a 68 finish and then took out double six to lead 2-1.
Van Gerwen fired in a 180, the first of four in as many legs, as he took the fourth, but Wade punished missed doubles from the Dutchman to take a 4-2 cushion.
The tables were turned as Wade missed tops in the seventh leg to allow van Gerwen back in on double 16 before tops from the Dutchman level, and the next two were shared before a 107 finish put the 2007 champion 6-5 up.
Van Gerwen's response, though, was clinical as he took out 127 for a 12-darter to level, double eight and double 16 to move 8-6 up, a fabulous 144 finish and 80 on double ten to win five straight legs and open up a 10-6 lead in the blink of an eye.

2007 World Matchplay winner Wade remains on course to reach his sixth final at the Winter Gardens following his 16-11 win over gutsy Mensur Suljovic, who hit back from a seven-leg deficit to cause the left-hander some nervous moments.
After Wade took out double ten to break in the opening leg, Suljovic hit the same bed to level before finishing 101 to lead 2-1.
Wade, though, levelled before moving back ahead with a 13-darter, and after the Austrian landed two 180s in taking leg six, finishes of 108 and 48 moved the left-hander into a 5-3 lead.
Suljovic posted double 18 to hit back, but Wade landed 180s as he took the next two and finished 64, 86, 74 and 104 in a run which took him out to a 12-5 advantage.
Suljovic, though, responded in a similarly clinical fashion as he took six of the next seven legs - including a 116 finish - to pull back to 13-11, but the Austrian crucially missed one dart to cut the gap to one leg.
Wade stepped in to finish 74, once again in two darts, to take a 14-11 lead and then hit his favoured tops in the next two to book his semi-final place.
"I'm happy to have walked off stage a winner but I couldn't get going enough and it didn't quite come together for me," said Wade. "I couldn't find that extra gear and I thought I was going to, especially when I went 10-5 up.
"He didn't lay down or make it easy and I knew that would be the case. When I went 10-5 up I probably should have done the job done a little bit quicker, but I did enough.
"I was never really worried about losing the game but I eased up. I thought it was going to be really close but I'm happy because I won."
Wade has been defeated in four Blackpool finals by Taylor, but overcame his great rival in the World Grand Prix and The Masters last autumn and is in confident mood ahead of their semi-final.
"I know he will play extraordinary darts so if I beat him I've got to play brilliantly and I think at the moment I've got the game to beat him when he's playing well," Wade added.
"It hasn't come out and we can all talk, but I know I'm good enough to beat him at the moment when he's playing well, and I'm in a better place than I've ever been."
Taylor added: "James was brilliant tonight and he held his nerve and did the business. I'll be giving it everything and I'll fight him to the death.
"I think everybody's in for a treat because it's going to be two cracking semi-finals."
Saturday's other semi-final will see world number one Michael van Gerwen - last year's beaten finalist in Blackpool - take on number five seed Peter Wright, who is bidding to claim his first major title.
Van Gerwen remains the favourite to take the title with sponsors BetVictor, at 4/5, with Taylor now 7/3 to continue his incredible Winter Gardens success, with Wright 10/1 and Wade 11/1 to lift the trophy on Sunday night.
Taylor is a 2/9 favourite going into his semi-final with Wade (10/3), while van Gerwen is 1/6 ahead of his clash with Wright, who is 4/1 to reach the final.

Taylor's bid to win an amazing eighth successive World Matchplay, and a 16th triumph in total in Blackpool, continued as he saw off Chisnall 16-8 with his most clinical display of this year's event so far.
Chisnall out-scored his rival with nine 180s to Taylor's six, but four key ton-plus checkouts helped the Stoke great pull clear in mid-game before he went on to seal the win.
Chisnall actually took the game's opening leg with a 13-darter against the throw - but it would prove to be the only time he led during the contest as Taylor levelled and then finished a 14-darter to move 2-1 up.
Chisnall levelled with another 13-darter, but Taylor found another gear to hit an 11-darter - where the players traded 180s - before breaking throw by taking out 130 for a 12-darter to lead 4-2.
Double nine gave Taylor the next before Chisnall traded 12-dart finishes with his rival, only for another 130 checkout to put the world number two 7-3 up.
The next two were shared before Taylor pulled clear with six straight legs, which saw him land a brace of 68 checkouts before finishing 161 and 100 to leave the St Helens man trailing 14-4.
Chisnall rallied to win four of the next five to keep his feint hopes alive, but Taylor was ruthless in sealing victory, scoring a 180 and a 177 in a 12-darter as double 16 secured his spot in the last four.
"I hit my finishes well tonight and I want to kick on now," said Taylor, who is now unbeaten in 38 games on the Winter Gardens stage since 2007.
"Dave makes you nervous and puts you under pressure from the very start. The only way to beat Dave is to try and match him when he hits the big scores, and he's a great player.
"I'm going up there to try my best in every game and it's not about winning a 16th title here or an eighth in a row, it's just about winning this tournament."

Van Gerwen, last year's World Matchplay runner-up, continues his challenge to claim the Winter Gardens title after reaching the last four, but had to produce some tungsten darts of the highest quality to come back from behind four times.
White, who knocked out Stephen Bunting and Simon Whitlock to reach his first Blackpool quarter-final, made a brilliant start to lead 3-0, and after van Gerwen hit a 180 as he hit back in the fourth the Stoke ace followed a 14-darter with checkouts of 106 and 105 for a 6-1 lead.
Van Gerwen took the next three to cut the gap and the pair then traded 11-arters before van Gerwen landed six perfect darts with two maximums in the 13th as he pulled back to 7-6.
Van Gerwen then levelled with a 72 checkout, with White matching his 180 in the next to lead 8-7 before the Dutchman produced a 174 score and a 72 finish to win leg 16.
White then took out 48 and 80 to move 10-8 up, before van Gerwen won a spectacular 19th leg with a 177 score and a 156 checkout, before tops again squared the contest for a 14-darter.
Van Gerwen then landed another maximum as he moved ahead for the first time at 11-10 before double eight helped him to extend his lead to 12-10 - but White once again responded as he finished 60 to hit back and landed two 180s in a 12-darter to tie the contest once more.
Incredibly, White then regained the lead with another superb 12-dart leg, only to see Van Gerwen level at 13-all with the aid of a 177 before punishing missed doubles in the next two to lead 15-13.
White battled to stay in the contest, but seven further missed doubles cost him as van Gerwen stepped in on tops to finally seal victory following a thrilling contest.
"It's amazing to win a game like this," said Van Gerwen. "Ian played fantastic darts but I played really well and hit the doubles at the end, so it's a big pressure off my shoulders.
"To win a game like this is quite emotional and fantastic. Ian put me under pressure constantly and full credit to him.
"I was struggling at times and I know I can play better, but I'm glad to win this game and proud to be in the semi-finals again."
White admitted: "It's very disappointing but I'm showing everyone what I can do, getting up there to play the world number one and pushing him right to the end.
"I had a good start and I knew I had to get ahead and try and stay ahead. When I got to 12-12 it just didn't go for me, but he did well to get through it."
