Super Sunday, the pinnacle of cash game promotions, happens on the first Sunday of every month. February, however, presents an exception: the next edition will be held on February 10. The first two were incredibly popular, drawing huge crowds and generating tons of excitement. The word of the Super Sunday giveaways totalling over $30,000 has continued to spread, and we expect the next one to be the biggest to date. Meanwhile, it just so happens that Sunday, February 3 is the day of the Super Bowl, the most popular North American sporting event of the year. It is also a busy WCC day, with WPTDeepStacks Day 1C and 3 other tournaments on the schedule, and we realize that adding another can’t miss event could potentially present some tough choices for a lot of players. For these reasons, we felt like pushing off the February Super Sunday made a lot of […]

It’s payday for the Bad Beat winners!
One week ago today, at the wee hours of the morning, the Primary Bad Beat Jackpot was hit. Our two big winners did not waste any time to pick up their winnings; both of them showed up this afternoon, all smiles, about 15 minutes apart. On Monday, January 7, Amirhossein Shemshaki flopped quad jacks. After that, all it took to break the bank was for him to slow play his monster to the end, letting Darrell Brown catch up with runner runner straight flush. Click here to see the full play-by-play. Both players posed today with their big cheque, just before taking possession of their respective share of the Jackpot. Take a look at these numbers! The Primary Bad Beat, reset at $250,000, awaits the next hit. Being part of the hand will change your yearly budget, but just being in the room when it happens gets you a share! […]
Fruits ‘n Royals gives hard coin
Playground’s Electronic Gaming Devices have never been busier! A ton of games awarded Jackpots this last weekend, including Fruits ‘n Royals – a real gaming treat! – which paid out a cool $10,000 pot. This happened on Sunday, midafternoon. Dominic Tremblay was calmly playing the fruit game in the far corner of the room when the device started buzzing with the very distinctive sound of money won. $10,000. Not the worst Sunday afternoon!
Another plentiful week in the Electronic Gaming space
Our EGDs keep on spinning! Last weekend was especially busy, especially on the Quick Hit games. On Saturday, Constatin Costelotos’ machine showed 8 Quick Hit symbols, worth a cool $3,000. On Sunday, it was Diane Paquette’s turn to accumulate 8 Quick Hit symbols, but on a different version of the game called Quick Hit Platinum Plus. Her pot was $4,002.08! The biggest Jackpot of the week came on Monday – 11 088,75$ – and was detailed in the linked article, and a lot of other guests went home very happy since then. 29 Jackpots were hit in the week, for a total of $60,700.16! The weekend is here… our games are ready to blow!
Rhinos rage again!
On Sunday night, a little past midnight, Cynthia C. was playing in Playground’s EGD section. She was spinning the Raging Rhino machine, a game that is no stranger to Jackpots. This time, the Rhino had something fat in store for Cynthia; she took down $11,088.75! Congratulations!
Another late-night Bad Beat Jackpot!
At 4:09 this morning, the Primary Bad Beat Jackpot was hit! It had grown to $798,319, more than enough to make the people on table 1 very happy. The hand was played in such a way that nobody could have seen it coming. At showdown, with quads and a straight flush on the table, $30 were in the pot! The table was 8-handed, and after 3 limpers, the small blind completed and the big blind checked, sending 5 players to the flop. Flop: That street was checked around. Turn: As you guessed by now, one of the players – Amirhossein S, first limper – had flopped quad jacks. Seeing that the turn could potentially complete a straight flush for someone, he opted to check again, in case the hypothetical player on a draw would fold. River: Amirhossein couldn’t check again. After both blinds checked, he led out with a $10 […]

Just 2 hours later, Ramona Decaire kicked off 2019 with a $1,350 Jackpot! At 1:56, Flaming Sevens threw 7 sevens her way, and just like that she became our first EGD Jackpot winner of the new year! Since then, many more Jackpots were collected from the Playground EGD staff. Mr. Claude Guillemette stands out from the lot, as he took 2 for himself! In the early morning of January 2, he cashed $4,076.82 from Quick Hit Platinum Plus. The […]

Super Sunday: a monster promotion!

The first Sunday of every month will be a day to circle on your calendar because Super Sunday will be a day full of huge cash giveaways and high hand bonuses.

That’s over $30,000 up for grabs on Super Sunday; this is one you won’t want to miss! This concludes our new set of cash game promos: Hot Seat Mondays, Cash Splash Tuesdays, […]
A very progressive Thursday promotion!
Instead of going Full Throttle out of the gate, the new Thursday promotion steadily accelerates all day long to reach a frantic pace of big cash giveaways! Progressive Thursdays offers a dynamic twist on a traditional promotion: High Hand payouts that grow throughout the day! The prizes and qualifying hands start small, but get bigger with every 30-minute period. As the strength of the qualifying hand increases, so does the cash prize. There’s more: any unclaimed prizes will be rolled over into the next time period. This promotion is set to award some huge prizes! Even though the Really Wicked Weekdays have all been replaced by new cash game promotions, High Hands still have a big place in the weekly rollout… and the best is yet to come! Our new, varied, and exciting cash game promos start on Monday, November 12th. On that day, we will also announce the biggest […]
The untouchable High Hand Wednesdays!
After Hot Seat Mondays and Cash Splash Tuesdays, Wednesday’s cash promotion will have a very familiar feel… Given the legacy of Wicked Wednesdays, we wanted to remain loyal to the high hand promotion that our players have embraced over the years, so High Hand Wednesdays will give players more of what they want: high hand payouts every 30 minutes! Throughout the promotion period, at 30-minute intervals, the highest tabled hand from our No Limit Hold’em tables will be awarded $200, and the prizes will be bumped up to $500 during the last hour of the afternoon and evening sessions, putting $500 up for grabs, twice between 2pm and 3pm, and again between 2am and 3am! High Hand Wednesdays has all the hallmarks of the Playground classic. Stay tuned to learn what will replace Full Throttle Thursdays!
