Tournament changes NEW!
Player-friendly Payouts, Blind Structures and More Starting Chips.
Party
Poker tournaments are now even better! Party
Poker has added new blind structures, and you'll start with more
chips. Plus, Party
Poker is paying out more places, the 1-Table
Sit & Gos
are now time-based, and Party
Poker has simplified the tournament
buy-ins. At Party
Poker, you
can always find a tournament to suit your game. There are tournaments
happening 24/7, so you'll never have to wait long to join the action.
Here's what's new:
Blind structures
Party Poker has completely redone all of the blind structures
for they tournaments, including Sit & Gos, Multi-Table and Shootout
tournaments. In addition, all No-Limit Tournament structures will
now include antes.
Starting chips
Starting chips have been increased and vary depending on the type of tournament in which you're playing. Check the chart below:
| Tournament type |
Number of starting chips |
| Sit & Gos (1-Table and Multi-Table) |
2,000 |
| Multi-Table Tournaments |
3,000 |
| Tournament Events ($500K, $750K, etc.) |
5,000 |
The number of starting chips will vary for special tournaments (or
at PartyGaming's discretion).
1-Table Sit & Go levels
These will now use a time-based structure for betting rounds instead of a hand-based structure. Also, levels will automatically increase after 10 minutes.
Tournament buy-ins and entry fees
Party
Poker has combined the tournament buy-in and entry fee into
a single amount. The entry fee will be removed from the listed amount. Entry fees will vary between tournaments and will be posted on either the buy-in screen or in the Lobby.
The New Look
New updated Party
Poker Lobby to streamline your gaming
experience. Major changes include an expanded Lobby navigation system,
a new login facility, and filters to help you control the information
you see. Now you can customize the Party
Poker Lobby to suit
the way you play!
Resize, Tile or Cascade your Tables for Extra Playing Convenience
You can customize your playing experience even further with the
new 'table resizing' functionality. Resize, tile or cascade your
tables to create a playing screen that suits your game.
Extra Option for Deal Makers
Check out the improvements to the new deal making feature! Now you
have two choices for deal payouts, based on either the current chip
count or a custom set of pay outs. You can make a deal for all the
money and end the tournament, or you can leave a portion of the prize
pool to play for. As before, no deal is completed until all of the
players confirm the deal. Selecting 'Yes' on the final table commits
you to discussing a deal, but not necessarily making one. Deal making
is available for most real money multi-table tournaments with a cash-only
prize pool.
More choices of your favorite games!
Party
Poker is in the process of adding several new Cash Games
and Sit & Gos.
More Limits at Hold'em, more buy-in levels in Sit and Gos and Speed,
1-on-1 and 6 Handed games!
