December Festival on PokerStars with $5 million guarantee Sunday Million and $1 million Spin & Go
While the holidays regularly create less traffic at the poker tables, PokerStars is doing everything they can to avoid this. They are raising tournament guarantees, there will be milestone hands, Zoom and Spin & Go promotions and the December Festival will culminate in a $5 million guaranteed Sunday Million tournament.
$5 to $1 million Spin & Go:
PokerStars has launched their $5 buy-in Spin & Go tournament which has special payouts compared to the regular Spin & Gos. The maximum multiplier has been increased from x3,000 to x20,000, so the biggest prize is $1 million! The x20,000 multiplier will be distributed 3 times every 10 million games on average, The rake is 7% (which is 1% more than the rake of the regular Spin & Gos) and the probability has been calculated to give a good chance of the x20,000 multiplier happening throughout the promotional period.
Milestone Hands:
In last years Milestone Hands promotion $700,000 was distributed in 300 hands. This year they are increasing this to $1 million, $750,000 of this will be paid out to the participants of the milestone hands, while $250,000 will be paid out to players who are playing the same game and stake.
Last years Milestone promotion increased cash game traffic by 20% and PokerStars expects to replicate these numbers this year.
$5 million guaranteed Sunday Million
The December Festival will culminate in the $5 million guaranteed Sunday Million held on the last Sunday of the year, December 28th. The winner will receive at least $500,000 and PokerStars needs 25,000 players to register to avoid any overlay.
Additional promotions
PokerStars is once again organizing a Knockout week with $5 million guaranteed in their knockout and progressive knockout tournaments. There is also going to be a Double Vision Sunday, they are hosting two instances of every Sunday major tournament.
The Zoom & Boom promotion also returns, any time a player wins a hand with two red Aces, and posts it through Boom! replayer will win $50.
Players can also opt-in for daily challenges in the PokerStars Challenge window throughout the festival.
