Another Omaha Bad Beat Jackpot!
May 18, 2019, 9:25 PM
The MILLIONS North America has has brought players from all around the world to Playground in droves, leading to a huge volume of cash games running around the clock. The unrelenting action has produced lots of exciting moments over the course of the first week of the festival, but some lucky players on table 13 just took things to another level. Celebrations erupted moments ago when the poker gods smiled on that particular table and delivered the third Bad Beat Jackpot of the week! Here is how the big hand played out: It started with a straddle, followed by a double straddle on a 5/5 Pot Limit Omaha table, one of four that was running at the time. There was an opening raise to $75 that picked up four callers, creating a juicy five-way pot. The flop fell , and the action promptly checked around, giving the players a free […]

With MILLIONS North America in town, we are witnessing a huge spike in Jackpots. So far this week, two poker Jackpots and countless EGD Jackpots were hit, sending legions of players back home with unalterable smiles. Last year during MILLIONS, 6 poker Jackpots were hit… in 6 days! Of course there is no way to know when the next one will burst, but being here sure increases your odds! A $13,604.31 EGD Jackpot! Since the beginning of the week, the biggest EGD Jackpot was hit by a gentleman called Roch. He was playing 5 Treasures, a title featuring 6 Free Games that can be endlessly re-triggered. The game features outstanding Chinese artwork, but the best part is the 4 progressive Jackpot levels. You can watch the amounts grow as you play! Roch was betting $1.76 per spin and got into Free Game mode, and one of those games […]

May 17, 2019, 2:37 PM
The partypoker LIVE MILLIONS North America festival got off to a rousing start, and as the $1,100 Montreal Open progresses in the Tournament Hall, players are already eyeing up the $10,300 Main Event.

Flaming Hot in Cuba
May 16, 2019, 6:10 PM
The Rum and Coke drink was created in Cuba in the early 20th century, when Coca-Cola started exporting their sugary soft drink to the country. The drink’s traditional name, Cuba Libre (Free Cuba), is a reminder of the strong American presence in Cuba in those years. It wasn’t long before the Cuba Libre made its way north to the United States, and from there everywhere in the world. The drink, simply made with rum, cola, ice, and served with a lime wedge, reminds of hot Cuba and the warm summer nights by the beach. The icy Rum and Coke may be of great help when playing Flaming Hot, a game that will make you sweat! Five reels with 4 positions each will take you to a world of fruits punctuated with dollar signs, bars, and of course, 7s! The true fire comes on when five 7 symbols line up on […]
