Casino Coin Bounties
Along with the amazing high roller prize money, players also had the opportunity to win 1 million CasinoCoin (CSC). CasinoCoin is a digital currency, developed specifically for the regulated gaming industry. Five players had big red casino coin stickers and carried bounties of 1 million CSC. It added an extra something tasty to the already prestigious tournament, giving players the chance to bag a little extra. All bounty players were eliminated on day one.
Well done to all the players who took part in this awesome event. Let’s hope the next Malta Poker Festival high roller attracts even more players for even juicier prizes! We’ll see you at the tables, until next time.
