Key Takeaways
- Amaya may have spooked investors but core poker numbers still impress.
- Winamax experiments with knockout-only sit and gos, and Full Tilt invents “progressive” knockout MTTs.
- Full Tilt’s play money poker app is accepted in the Steam store.
Known for its industry-first product innovations, Winamax has quietly rolled out a new game, Sit and Go Killer. The SNG format is bounty-only, meaning that the entire prize pool goes to knocking out your opponents rather than finishing in the top spots.
The poker room is currently trialing the game in a 6-max structure for low stakes. Each successful knockout means a player wins just over the buy-in, and a “clean sweep” of knocking out every player would mean taking home more than five times the buy-in.
If the game proves a hit, expect other online poker rooms to adopt the format quickly.
