Last week, 888poker rolled out the sensational and trending poker format, the Mystery Bounty. It became the fourth online poker room to launch this variant after PokerMatch, GGPoker, and Winamax.

In this format, which has grown enormously over the past year or so, the bounties are paid out randomly and only revealed once the player has been knocked out. The format has been generating a lot of buzz, both live and online, and now 888 has become the latest room to introduce this format.

The operator ran its first Mystery Bounty event on a trial basis last Sunday. It carried a $100,000 guarantee for a buy-in of $109, with half of the buy-in going to the Mystery Bounty pool and the other half to the regular prize pool.

The event turned out to be a “booming success” as it gathered 1430 unique players and 457 rebuys to create a prize pool of $188,700 — nearly doubling its guarantee.
