The Beast is on at Americas Cardroom where the players feed the Beast, and reap its rewards!
If you have ever played online casino games you will be familiar with the idea of a progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpot rarely turns up in the on line poker world, but Americas Cardroom has decided to change that reality. The Beast is essentially a progressive jackpot, however unlike its equivalent in online casino games this jackpot will burst every month ensuring regular, accessible, and high payouts.
Like in online casino games progressive jackpots The Beast gets paid into every time someone plays on a jackpot game in which 4 players or more are dealt in. As such the pot is growing by the minute. Not only are you contributing to the pot by playing on jackpot tables however, but you’re also contributing to your chances of winning a share of the pot. For every jackpot table you play on, you will earn on line poker points. Your points can be checked when ever you want in order to see how you’re doing on the leaderboard table. The number of points you earn will vary depending on the stakes of the table you are playing at, but it does not depend on your success in the game – if you have contributed to the table you will get points from it.
The prizes of course vary on the amount of the prize pool. For example if The Beast gets to $50,000, then the person topping the leaderboard that month will get $4,875. If however The Beast gets to $130,000 then the first place winner will receive $12,675. In addition to the cash prizes, The Beast will also be awarding tournament seats. For example Americas Cardroom will be awarding through the Beast entries to on line poker satellites for huge land based tournaments such as the LSOP and the Punta Cana Poker Classic – the bigger the beast gets, the more of these tournament entries Americas Cardroom will make available.
