Massive congrats to Colleen Wong who has won a prize package valued at £700 to compete in the Mystery Bounty event at the forthcoming Hippodrome Casino Mega Series.
Colleen beat scores of entries in the promotion which was run jointly by MainEventTravel.com and the Hippodrome Casino. Originally from Alberta, Canada, her 'Hangover the Movie' related post about wanting to head to Vegas netted her an amazing prize consisting of a £440 seat in the Mega Series Mystery Bounty, a £235 travel credit from MainEventTravel.com, and £25 credit towards food and drink at the event.
The competition invited players to post on MainEventTravel.com’s Facebook page which destination they’d like most like to go to of the two poker hotspots the Hippodrome is taking players this year as part of their house-funded promotions – Malta or Las Vegas. Both locations were widely sought after, with players wanting to head to either for some sun, fun and poker!
In the MainEventTravel.com contest, the seven most liked comments – along with seven comments chosen by the MainEventTravel team – were entered into a live random draw which took place on April 8. As always, choosing our favourites is hard work, everyone puts so much thought and creativity into these competitions.
We hope to see mum of two Colleen's run good continue, like The last Mystery Bounty promotion winner, Lee Dean, put his prize to very good use; he not only won the £5k top bounty prize at September’s Super Series (and cashed in 10th place) but then went on to take down the Main Event for £33,930.
MainEventTravel can take care of all your travel needs for the forthcoming Mega Series so bag your room now for this popular Hippodrome festival.
The Hippodrome runs numerous house-funded promotions and this year’s trips are spectacular! A number of lucky trip winners will find themselves jetting off to compete at this month’s Malta Poker Festival , with those who triumph receiving a VIP Package including a return flight, 5 nights in a 5* hotel, entry into the €300,000 Guaranteed Main Event, a Food & Drinks package at the casino, Players' Parties, and more.
Hippodrome is also taking a number of players on a seven-night extravaganza in Las Vegas again this summer. Las Vegas is the trip of a lifetime for most poker players, and Hippodrome will be working to make it just that! Not only will they be whisked away on round-trip flights, players will stay in a luxe hotel on the Vegas Strip, will be invited to Player parties and Dinners, will hover above the strip in a Helicopter, and will of course get bought into a number of poker tournaments.
This month’s Mega Series festival offers four days of dedicated poker at the Hippodrome from April 13-16. In addition to the Mystery Bounty tournament, the festival features four other tournaments: the £1,100 buy-in Main Event, a £175 mega satellite, the £175 buy-in Ladies Event and a £125 + £100 NLHE Turbo Bounty.
In the last Mega Series Mystery Bounty in November, there was a bumper turnout of 222 entries. Some 30 players got a share of the £32,301 prize pool and there were bounty prizes galore. The winner was Londoner Gary Miller whose tournament haul included the trophy, top cash prize of £6,932 plus a further £2,700 in bounties and £3,300 worth of Mega Series Main Event tickets.
For this month’s Mega Series Main Event, a fabulous Las Vegas prize package will be added to the prize pool. The package guarantees an amazing experience including return flights to “Sin City”, eight nights’ accommodation at a luxury hotel, tournament buy-ins along with dinners, activities, an exciting helicopter ride and invite to the Hippodrome Vegas welcome party.
Kerryjane Craigie, Director of Poker at The Hippodrome Casino, said: “Congratulations to Colleen, we look forward to meeting them at the Mega Series. This is the biggest poker festival of the year at the Hippodrome and there’s always a big turnout and great atmosphere.”
The Hippodrome has been running some amazing promotions for cash game players – with eight-night Las Vegas packages up for grabs as well as five-night trips to take part in the Malta Poker Festival at the end of April. You still have time to get on this month’s Hippodrome Casino leaderboard for a chance to join in the action!
