PKR First Microgaming Poker Network Operator to Launch Jackpot Sit & Go
This was published 08-07-2016The fast pace together with the chance to win lucrative cash prizes for a minimal investment has seen Jackpot Sit & Go tournaments become one of the most exciting variants available to players in the online poker world.
Although a number of networks and poker sites have been offering these tournaments, it was not until this week that the Microgaming Poker Network (MPN) joined these groups with PKR, the only true 3D online poker site, becoming the first MPN site to offer players Jackpot Sit & Go games.
Buy-ins to these three-handed turbo tournaments at PKR range from between €1 to €50, with five percent from each buy-in being removed as a tournament fee and an additional five percent removed to contribute to the progressive jackpot which is a feature that is only available on the Jackpot Sit & Go at PKR.
Once the top prize pool multiplier (5,000 times) is hit, it will trigger the progressive jackpot, which will occur five games in one million, on average.
Winner-take-all events are games with multipliers of two, four, six, 10 and 20 while any game with a multiplier of 100, 500 or 5,000 will see the prize pool split 50 percent to first, 30 percent to second and 20 percent to third, exactly like a traditional Sit & Go. If the 5,000 multiplier is, therefore, hit at a €50 buy-in game, even the third-place finisher will bank an amount of €50,000.
PKR’S Jackpot Sit & Go is initially available to players via desktop download while mobile and instant play browser versions will be launched within the next few weeks.
The Head of Public Relations at PKR, Dan Grant, commented on the launch of Jackpot Sit & Go by saying that this is PKR in a nutshell – fast, fun and easy on the eye. He went on to say that being part of the Microgaming Poker Network gives their players a shot at serious prizes and that this is a perfect example. Grant added that the release of Jackpot Sit & Go is an exciting mix of turbo, short-stacked poker, life-changing prizes and their own new 3D animations and environments.
