MICROGAMING LAUNCHES LEAP YEAR SPECIAL ON THE MICROGAMING POKER NETWORK
ISLE OF MAN - We all love a Friday – the end of the working week and the start of the weekend and thanks to 2008 being a leap year, this month contains no less than five of them! So what better way to spend that extra day on Friday 29th, than taking advantage of the Microgaming Poker Network's leap year specials?
As you might guess, the figure 29 plays a significant role in all the leap year promotions and where better to start than with the BadBeat jackpot that will have an extra $29,000 added to it – potentially making it a very special bumper payday for one lucky player.
And it gets better. If the BadBeat jackpot is hit, then both the jackpot winner and the hand winner will be making their way to Vegas thanks to an added bonus of a 'Leaping Las Vegas' package worth $10K. (Promotion runs 00:00-23:59GMT). The package includes:
- $1,500 towards travel expenses
- 13-nights' accommodation at a top five star hotel
- Participation in the WPT Boot Camp three day Champions Event
- Entry into WSOP No Limit Hold'em Event #2
- $1k spending money
As if these weren't enough, our Microgaming promotions team has gone even further. Tournament players will have an opportunity to stake a place at one of the extra 29 guaranteed seats to our Saturday $50000 Extreme Stack and $175000 Sunday tournaments.
So this leap year, make sure Friday 29th February is highlighted in your calendar – it's definitely highlighted in ours.
