Ever since GVC Holdings took over Partypoker, the room has been rapidly improving and they show no signs of slowing down! First they rejoined 21 previously left markets, then they deleted withdrawal fees for eWallet transactions, then they ran an extremely successful Powerfest tournament series.
All these improvements helped Partypoker to climb to fifth place on the .COM/.EU cash game traffic leaderboards, rapidly closing in on the Bodog and the iPoker network.
According to some opinions, an even faster increase in traffic was halted by the fact that Partypoker has not yet introduced Jackpot SNG games, which are popular amongst both recreational aswell as regular players in other networks.
As of March 31, this is no longer an issue, the room has announced the launch of the Sit & Go Hero games, which is a jackpot SNG with a few interesting twists.
''As of today we are launching Sit & Go Hero, which is a 4-handed, fast SNG bounty game in a jackpot format. Partypoker's new SNG offers players a chance to win 10,000x of their initial buy-in.
The games are available on five different stakes: $1, $3, $5, $10 and $20. The multipliers are randomly distributed and the potential winnings are determined by two factors, A) the multiplier and the prize pool from the paid buy-ins and B) the bounty on a players head. The bounty feature gives players a chance to win up to $50,000.
In most cases the winner of the Sit & Go Hero will take home 75% of the prize pool in the given Sit & Go Hero while the remaining sum is used to finance the bounty. If the multiplier reaches the 50x-1000x option, the second and third place finishers will also get a share of the prize pool. In case of a game with the highest multiplier (10,000x), all four players will win a share of the prize pool, the second-fourth place finishers will each receive a 15% share each. You can read about the details in the charts below.''
Tom Waters, a Partypoker executive said the following:
''We wanted to put a twist in the usual jackpot SNG games and launch something unique on the market. We believe we have succeeded in this with the Sit & Go Hero. Our existing bounty MTT games are very popular so we thought that a new SNG game with a bounty feature and huge potential jackpot prizes would prove very interesting to all our players.''
We expect a huge number of recreational players to jump into these games which should prove very profitable to skilled players. In April, Rakerace.com players can participate in a $3,000 exclusive and a $20,000 pooled race at the same time and playing in the Sit & Go Hero games while receiving raceback returns is definitely a highly +EV decision!
