PokerStars 75 Billionth Milestone Hand

Road to 100 Billion Poker Hands: 75 Billion

Poker Stars is on the Road to 100 Billion, and we're celebrating every 5 billionth hand dealt with a milestone hand promotion! The next stop on the way is hand 75 Billion, which is set to be dealt in the next two weeks.

There’s up to $1,000,000 in cash to play for, and to be in with a chance of being a winner, simply play Poker Stars cash game tables and be dealt into a millionth hand from 74,700,000,000 to 75,000,000,000 (e.g. 74,902,000,000). If you're successful, you’ll receive a cash prize that could be worth thousands of dollars. If you're good enough to win the big seventy-five billionth hand, you will receive at least $20,000!

There will be 300 regular milestone hands, and a final Mega Milestone in each Road to 100 Billion celebration. For the 75 Billion celebration, it’s hand #74,700,000,000 to #75,000,000,000. Next up will be 80,000,000,000, so keep checking back to find out more.

How Milestone Hand prizes are calculated

Players dealt into a milestone hand win a cash prize of $60 for every VIP Player Point (VPP) they earned in the previous 50 hands played on that table. All players dealt in will also receive a base prize of $20, and any player that wins a portion of the main pot will get their prize doubled!

•Dealt into Milestone Hand: (# of VPPs in previous 50 hands x $60) + $20 = Cash Prize
•Win Milestone Hand: (# of VPPs in previous 50 hands x $60 + $20) x 2 = Cash Prize

Note: The 300 regular Milestone Hands will begin with hand number 74,700,000,000 and end with hand 74,999,000,000.

Example: You play for half an hour on a $1/$2 NLHE table. You play 53 hands in this time and are then dealt into a milestone hand. The system will look at the most recent 50 hands that you've played at that table and calculate the number of VPPs earned. In this instance, you earned 31 VPPs, so the prize will be: 31 * $60 + $20 = $1,880. If you go on to win the hand, you'll receive $3,760.

Mega Milestone

When the big 75 Billion Mega Milestone is reached, all players dealt in will be rewarded $1,000 for every VPP earned in the previous 50 hands (calculated same as above, but this time with a base prize of $10,000 for all players dealt in). The winner of the Mega Milestone will also have their prize money doubled - which means a grand total of tens of thousands of dollars!

•Dealt into Mega Milestone: (# of VPPs in previous 50 hands x $1,000) + $10,000 = Cash Prize
•Win Mega Milestone: (# of VPPs in previous 50 hands x $1,000 + $10,000) x 2 = Cash Prize

In the event of a split pot (either from a tied hand or from a split pot game) all players that took a portion of the main pot will have their prize money doubled.

Example 1: You play 50 hands and earn 60 VPPs when the Mega Milestone hand hits on your table. You will receive (60 x $1,000) + $10,000 = $70,000. You win the hand and your cash prize is doubled to $140,000.

Example 2: You play 26 hands and earn 17 VPPs when the Mega Milestone hand hits on your table. You will receive (17 x $1,000) + $10,000 = $27,000. The hand plays out and you split the pot with one of your opponents. Your cash prize is therefore doubled to $54,000.
