San Jose, Costa Rica – Talk about the perfect pair. Americas Cardroom announced this week that Jackpot Poker now contributes to Sit & Crush.
For Jackpot Poker players, it means more jackpots popping frequently thanks to an increase in interest. And for Sit & Crush winners, it means more money in each weekly point race.
“Jackpot Poker has been immensely popular and we've crowned a lot of winners, including $100,000 jackpot winners just last week,” said Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. “Now that Jackpot Poker is part of Sit & Crush, we're expecting to see more jackpots pop and more weekly Sit & Crush winners crowned.”
Jackpot Poker tournaments are 3-player Hyper Turbo Sit & Go tournaments that last an average of 7 minutes. Poker players can enter a Jackpot Poker game for $2 and play for up to $5,000 or enter for $10 and play for up to $25,000, or $40 and play for up to $100,000. The prize pool is randomly drawn right before the start of the tournament, so players have the potential to win big quickly with a tiny buy-in.
Most Jackpot Poker tournaments are winner-take-all events, with the exception of some of the top 3 jackpot amounts in each buy-in category.
Sit & Crush is a progressive points race that’s funded entirely through the tournament fee, so players don't pay any additional prize pool fee. The leaderboard competition gives online poker players a new chance to race to the top of a leaderboard for cash prizes and tournament seats each week, just by playing in qualifying Sit & Go tournaments, and now in Jackpot Poker games. At the end of each 7-day period, the Sit & Crush prize pool is distributed to players who rank on the weekly leaderboard.
With a new leaderboard each week, Sit & Go and Jackpot Poker players now have the opportunity to participate in a brand new large-scale Sit & Crush race every seven days, winning their way to land-based events like the Punta Cana Poker Classic.
World Series of Jackpots
World Series of Jackpots is a new addition to Jackpot Poker Sit & Go's that award players with a $12,500 WSOP prize package and points towards the Sit & Crush race. Each package features the $10,000 Main Event buy-in, and $2,500 for travel and accommodations.
WSOJ's buy-in options are $3 and $30. The prize pool is randomly drawn right before the start of the tournament. 2 out of the 3 players in the tournament will get to play again if the package spin isn't hit. And if it does hit, all 3 players will be going to Vegas.
