Tournaments

  • The ‘Sit & Go’ Tournaments do not have pre-assigned start times, they begin when all the seats are filled and they can have up to 360 players in satellite and cash tournament form.
  • ‘Double or Nothing’ is a type of Sit & Go tournament where half of the players who enter win double the buy in. The tournament ends when the prizes are reached.

Players are eliminated from the tournament after they run out of chips and the remaining players are then moved to keep the tables full and evenly balanced. Whomever wins all of the chips is named the winner and the top finishers receive cash prizes.
