There’s a new tournament to enjoy on PokerStars US, and it comes with an exciting feature – the guarantee goes up every time it’s hit! Apart from that, players win extra prizes in the form of casino bonuses. The tournament, called “Monday Jackpot”, debuted on February 27 in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
Monday Jackpot on PokerStars US
As its name suggests, Monday Jackpot takes place every Monday and plays out as a 9-handed tournament. It costs just $10 to enter, and players receive 10,000 in starting stack, with blinds increasing every eight minutes.
For the MI-NJ network, Monday Jackpot has an initial guarantee of $5,000, while for the ring-fenced Pennsylvania market, the guarantee is set at $3,000.
If the target is hit in a particular week, PokerStars will boost the guarantee for the next edition of the tournament. The amount that will be added to the guarantee will depend on the turnout of the previous tournament.
Successful US Debut
The tournament’s US debut on February 27 was successful, with the MI-NJ network recording 879 entries and the separate PA tournament attracting 477 entries, both smashing their guarantees by 60% and 45% respectively.
The next edition of the Monday Jackpot plays out today, March 6, and players could see guarantees going up by at least $1,000. On top of that, PokerStars will also be giving away $1,000 in Casino prizes each week via random drops.
