Breakfast and Bedtime Bounty

Survivor Tournaments and the use of the Euro currency throughout the tournaments are the newes features that have been recently added to Microgaming Poker Network’s  portfolio. In addition to that gamblers will soon be able to take part in two additional daily tourneys: Breakfast and Bedtime Bounty.

The tournaments have been designed to make the poker network even more payable. The Survivor Tournament, with its very rapid pace, is supposed to ascend rapidly and eliminate the “weakest” player at every level. The other two tourneys use half of their buy-in as a part of their prize pool and another half as a bounty on the player’s head.

The running promotions are supposed to keep gamblers interested and continue company’s expansion.
