The Exciting Mystery Bounty Format Comes to WPT Global

WPT Global has launched the new, exciting Mystery Bounty tournament format. The addition comes just in time for the $8.5 million guaranteed Fall Festival on the WPT Global platform.

This innovative format promises to increase the excitement level for both seasoned players and newcomers alike.

The Mystery Bounty Format

Mystery Bounty tournaments combine traditional knockout elements with a unique twist: players earn bounties upon eliminating opponents, but the contents of these chests remain unknown until they are opened after leaving the event.

This adds an element of surprise and strategy, as players must decide whether to focus on building their chip stacks or aggressively pursuing eliminations for potentially lucrative rewards.

In the initial phase, players begin by accumulating chips without any bounties awarded. The aim is to survive until the next phase while, of course, also building a stack to challenge for the regular prize pool.

Then comes the bounty phase. Once the money bubble bursts, every opponent eliminated awards a mystery bounty. The prize inside is concealed, creating suspense and excitement.

Players can even win multiple bounties in a single hand, and if there are split pots, the bounty may be divided as well.

This dual-phase format has solved the complaints of many players who thought there was far too much random gambling when the mystery bounties were award from the first hand.

Mystery Bounties Already a Hit on WPT Global

This format has already proven successful on WPT Global, where it debuted with the Sunday $55 Lucky PKO, drawing a record-breaking 771 entries, surpassing previous participation levels  by 130 entries from the usual format.

The launch of Mystery Bounty tournaments coincides with WPT Global’s Fall Festival, running from September 8 to September 30.

The series boasts a staggering $8.5 million in guaranteed prize money.

Key highlights include:

• $3 million in total guarantees for Mystery Bounty tournaments.
• New daily event with a buy-in of $110 with $40K guarantee.
• Return of flagship events including the $3,500 WPT Championship with a $1 million guarantee and the $530 WPT500 with a $400,000 guarantee.

WPT Global is committed to improving player experiences beyond just the new tournament format.

To maintain the integrity to its cash games, WPT Global has implemented changes such as preventing players from “ratholing”—a practice where players leave a game and return with a smaller buy-in amount.

This ensures a consistent and fair playing environment, particularly for recreational players.
