The Road to 100 Billion is a cash game promotion that is awarding hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash prizes as PokerStars heads towards dealing its 100 billionth hand.
The next big milestone is 80 billion, and players in the UK can win their share of up to $1,000,000 in cash if they get dealt into one of the special hands at
PokerStars.
Prizes are being paid out to players sitting at the table where every millionth hand is dealt from 79,700,000,000 to 80,000,000,000, and all you have to do for a chance of winning is play real money ring games. If you get dealt in to the eightieth billionth mega milestone hand and win, you’ll bag at least $20,000 in cash. See the Milestone Hand Prize Examples page for more on how cash is awarded.
Here are some tips on how to profit from a milestone hand:
Multi-table: The more tables you are seated at, the greater your chance of being dealt into a milestone hand.
Play for longer: Cash prizes during milestone hands are awarded based on the amount of VIP Player Points (VPPs) earned during your time at that table.
Loosen up: You earn VPPs every time you contribute to a raked pot. The more pots you play in, the more VPPs you will earn.
You can keep track of the number of hands dealt already by looking at the number listed as ‘Previous’ in the top left hand corner of any ring game table in the PokerStars client. When you see the numbers ticking towards the next milestone, it’s time to play more!
