“GGPoker’s guaranteeing at least $50 million in prizes in this edition of Bounty Hunters Series, which features some of the biggest mystery bounty tournaments ever scheduled,” said Paul Burke, Head of PR at GGPoker. “The more knockouts under your belt, the more bounty prizes you’ll claim; everyone joins the table with a target on their back, which makes play more breakneck than ever!”
Players can win their way into many poker online Bounty Hunters Series events via satellite tournaments, which will run throughout the series.
The bounty prizes also grow bigger as the tournament progresses; by eliminating players that have knocked out multiple opponents, the remaining participants claim progressively bigger bounty prizes.
In a mystery bounty poker tournament, the buy-in is split 50/50, with half going into the standard prize pool and the other half going into the bounty prize pool.
The play is split up into phases, with Phase 1 proceeding like a standard tournament and no bounties paid out as players are eliminated. In the Final Stage, knock outs are now infused with extra excitement as each player that eliminates another will receive a random mystery bounty, with the biggest prize as likely to be claimed when the Final Stage’s first knockout occurs as on the final hand of the event.
New GGPoker players are eligible to claim the poker room’s Welcome Bonus, earn even more rewards with the Honeymoon for Newcomers promotion and automatically join GGPoker’s Fish Buffet loyalty program, with regular cash prizes on offer.
