Key Takeaways
- French online gaming giant Winamax is gearing up to launch the latest trendy poker format, Mystery Bounty, PRO can exclusively reveal.
- Mystery Bounties are a variation of the popular bounty format, except the bounties are randomized and aren’t revealed until a player is knocked out. The prizes could be anything from 5x to even 10,000x the buy-in.
- Another distinction from the regular bounty tournament is that the bounties in this new format start only once the money bubble breaks. Once the players reach the money, every player becomes a mystery bounty.
French online gaming giant Winamax is gearing up to launch the latest trendy poker format, Mystery Bounty, PRO can exclusively reveal.
The operator is awaiting approval from the Spanish and, presumably, French regulators before it can start offering this new tournament format.
For those unaware, Mystery Bounty takes some inspiration from the standard bounty tournaments with a portion of the buy-in, usually ranging from one-third to half, going to a separate pool for the bounties. Each time a player knocks out their opponent, they earn a bounty — the amount of which is usually known to the player.
