A Party Poker Genius promotion was launched yesterday and will run for 10 million online poker hands. The Party Poker Genius promotion will ‘square the pot’ of every 50,000th hand played on the Party Poker cash tables, and every player involved in the hand will receive an equal share of a jackpot prize worth anything from $100 to $5,000. But that’s not all...
Every millionth hand will be given a $10,000 prize pool, and the ten millionth hand –which sees the Part Poker Genius promotion come to a close – will have a prize pool worth $100,000. As will every 50,000th hand, every player involved in the hands will enjoy a slice of the Genius prizes, and the winner of the hand will of course take the original pot in addition.
For those of you who like to look under the bonnet and see how things work up close, the ‘square the pot’ rule literally refers to the mathematical squaring of whatever the pot balance is when the Genius hits.
For example, if a Genius cash poker hand has a pot with a value of $50 then that pot would be squared to generate a Genius prize of $50 x $50 = $2,500. All players involved in the hand would therefore take a slice of $2,500.
If the squared value of a pot is less than the $100 minimum then the $100 minimum will be used as the Genius prize. For example, if the pot stands at $3 then that would be worth $9 when squared ($3 x $3 = $9) so in that case a $100 minimum jackpot would be shared between the players.
Playing online poker at Party Poker is always a good thing, but now that you have the chance of winning a share of $5,000, $10,000 or even more just for going about your business, we think you’d be mad not to hang out at Party Poker more often, at least whilst this Genius promotion is running.
