Single Table Poker Tournaments at Playboy Casino

James Smith - 23 Jan 2008

Playboy Casino has announced Single Table Poker Tournaments.

Lobby Screen

The Lobby for a single table tournament closely ressembles the Multi table screen in terms of both tournament updating and self updating statistics throughout the tournament. All features during the tournament including Game Type, Buy-In Free and the tournament Name are displayed on the Lobby Screen.

Status

There are five status options for each tournament;

  • Pre-Registration: The amount of time remaining until Registration begins is displayed.
  • Registering: A player may reigster for a tournament but the tournament will not begin until all the seats at the table are filled.
  • In Progress: Registration for that particular tournament has ended and the tournament is now in process.
  • Completed: The tournament has finished and the prizes have been awarded to the players.
  • Cancelled: If for any reason a tournament has been cancelled , that information will be displayed. Under these circumstances, all entry fees are re-funded.

Buy-In

100% of the Buy-In fee is allocated to the prize pool.

Fee

This is collected by PlayboyPoker.

Total Fee

This is the amount deducted from a player's account when that player registers for a tournament. The Total Fee is equal to the sum of the Buy-In and the Fee.

Levels

This is the amount of times the blinds are to be increased until the completion of the tournament.

Game Per Level

This is the number of hands dealt out to all players at each level. For instance, if the Game Per Level is 10, then the blinds will increase every 10 hands. Single Table Tournaments usually are set at the following levels.

Level Blinds

  • 15/30
  • 30/60
  • 50/100
  • 100/200
  • 200/400
  • 400/600
  • 600/1200
  • 1000/2000

Prize Pool

The prize pool is the total amount of money collected in the prize fund. The prizes awarded to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place players is displayed, usually in the following order:

  • 1st Place - 50% of the Prize Fund
  • 2nd Place - 30% of the Prize Fund
  • 3rd Place - 20% of the Prize Fund
  • Buy-In and Fee details
  • Tournament details including: Start time and date, Number of entrants, Maximum and Minimum players required and how many seats are allocated per table.
  • The Prize Structure
  • There is a Register/Unregister button
  • Table information as well as information about each player seated at each table.
  • Seats are assigned to each player randomly. Cards are dealt out to each player at the table to determine who is on the dealer button.
  • When the tournament begins all players will be asked to take their seats. This means that if there is a wait before the tournament is to begin you may continue to play in the software.
