Online poker tournament meets progressive jackpot at Bet365
Bet 365 PR promises that the poker room’s “Jackpot Sit & Gos are the perfect game if you’re looking for fast-paced poker excitement and some excellent added value.” Basically all that is required to make serious cash in these games is to achieve a given amount of consecutive wins. The four flavors of Sit & Go served up at Bet 365 are the following.
This is how it works: you get rewarded with a big progressive jackpot prize if you can achieve a certain number of consecutive wins. This prize is on top of what you’ve already won in the individual tournaments.
• In the Dirty Dozen competition, 12 players sit at two tables and winner takes all. A serious low-roller, this particular game had Bet 365 paying out more than $250,000 in prizes in 2009.
• The Maui consists of 10-player, single-table tournaments. Win five in a row to bag a jackpot of *at least* $15,000.
• The Rio single-table sit & go tournaments are six-player games with a progressive jackpot of $25,000 minimum won by taking six Rio tables down in succession. Bonus consolation prize: six consecutive finishes in the top two in six-player Rio Jackpot Sit & Go tables gets you $300.
• Finally, win six consecutive Fort Knox tables to win at least $50,000. The consolation prize here works the same as in the Rio, but is worth $750.
