Phase Tournaments Running at PKR

PKR has just released a new way for players to turn a small bankroll into a large one without even using a huge PKR deposit bonus. It's called "Phase Tournaments", and it's a similar idea to Party Poker's step tournaments. How it works is that you can start in any phase sit and go you want, and all of the phases lead up to the final 5th phase, where the winner of the sit and go takes down $700.

So for example, if you buy into a Phase 1 sit and go for $3.60 and take 1st or 2nd, you advance to Phase 2 which is a $10.75 sit and go. Or, if you finish 3rd-5th in the Phase 1 sit and go, you get to repeat the Phase 1 for another shot at making it to Phase 2.

This theme reoccurs throughout each phase, with the top finishers advancing to the next phase, and the middle of the pack getting another shot. Also, once you get to the higher phases, the 7th place finisher drops down a phase but gets to continue playing.

If you're lucky enough to make it to the final phase, Phase 5, you're in for a treat. First gets $700, second gets $400, third gets $300, and 4th gets $200. Fifth-tenth however are eliminated.

So for you poker sharks out there who don't quite have a big bankroll right now, this is a perfect option for you. You can turn your $3.60 into hundreds of dollars with solid play throughout multiple sit and goes. Try them out today!

PKR Casino Offers Progressive Jackpots

The title pretty much sums it up, but PKR Casino offers progressive jackpots on many of their casino games. This is especially helpful with people who have a small bankroll as they have an opportunity to win big with as little as a $1 bet. However, remember that your chances of winning the big jackpot are very small.

Currently the biggest progressive jackpot, GoldRally 8line $2, is nearly 2 million dollars. There is only one other jackpot that is over a million dollars at this time, which is Beach Life. In November of 2007, a PKR Casino player was lucky enough to win $4,700 from a $1 bet on the game KENO.

This is just a small highlight of the features that PKR Casino has to offer. If you are into online poker, you should really like the atmosphere of the PKR Poker room, which is full integrated with the casino. PKR Casino is also offering a special first time deposit bonus for 100% up to $200. Simply check out our PKR Casino Bonus page for all the details.
