Battle Royale: a new game at GGPoker
Battle Royale is GGPoker’s new no-limit hold'em game with a progressive Sit&Go bounty, figured on 100 players. Battle Royale has all popular tournament formats divided into three stages in it.
Stage 1: Rush
This is an initial stage of the “battle”. It is held in a boost format, that is, players move on to a new table and start a new hand just after they end playing the current hand.
- A player starts each hand at a different table.
- The stage ends when 50 players remain in the game.
- After 15 minutes, players who don’t manage to enter the top 50 are busted.
- Bounties from players who haven’t being eliminated but failed to enter the top 50 are added to the prize pool.
If there is a tie after the allotted time expires, rewards for aggressive play will be awarded in the following order:
- the one who has knocked out more players will rank higher;
- if bounties are identical, the one who has played the most hands will rank higher.
Stage 2: Shootout
The battle takes place at ten tables to the last player. Each table features 5 people for a total of 50 participants.
- People fight until 1 player is left at each table. This is where the stage ends.
- If there are several players left at the table after 15 minutes of action, the game switches to a Flipout mode.
- What's next? Every hand, all of the remaining participants go all-in until there is only one player left at the table.
Stage 3: Final Table
At this stage, 10 survivors form a final table to determine a winner.
- The final table is held in a traditional format of bounty tournaments.
- All players who have managed to make it to the final table get in the money.
- A "Chess Clock" mode is switched on with a 5-minute time reserve.
- Blinds grow every 3 hands.
