Welcome to the wild side of poker—Mystery Bounty Tournaments. Here, every hand is a shot in the dark, and every knockout comes with a hidden twist. If you’re the type who loves surprises and isn’t afraid to go all-in on the unknown, then you’re in for a treat.
WHAT IS A MYSTERY BOUNTY TOURNAMENT?
Picture this: You’re playing a bounty tournament, but there’s a catch—every player has a secret bounty on their head, and you won’t know how much it’s worth until you take them out. One knockout could land you a tidy win, while another might make you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot. It’s poker, but with a side of suspense.
HOW MYSTERY BOUNTY TOURNAMENTS WORK
Let’s break it down:
The Buy-in: You pony up the buy-in like any other tournament, but in a Mystery Bounty, a portion of that goes into a secret stash of ‘mystery bounties’. This secret stash is then split into several prizes (these are the mystery bounties) depending on the prize structure in place. The twist? No one knows which bounty they'll score until they knock someone out. It's a guessing game where every knockout is a surprise.
The Bounty Prize Pool: Think of it as a poker piñata, but instead of candy, it's filled with mystery bounty prizes. The total bounty prize pool is made up of a portion of each player's buy-in. The prizes are listed in the Lobby — each with a different value, kept secret until claimed — so you know what’s on the line, but they won’t be handed out until the tournament hits what we call the ‘in the bounty stage.’ That’s when the real fun begins! Knock a few players out of the game to see what surprises are up for grabs.
Reaching the Bounty Stage: As the tournament rolls on and players start dropping like flies, we hit the ‘in the bounty stage.’ This is the point where the number of remaining players matches the number of mystery bounties up for grabs. Prizes are then randomly assigned, and from here on out, every knockout means you get to claim one of those mysterious bounties.
Unveiling the Mystery: You’ve knocked out your opponent. Nice. Now, drumroll, please — what’s the bounty? Could be peanuts, could be a goldmine. That’s the beauty of Mystery Bounty — every knockout is a surprise.
Now, let’s put it into perspective. Say you and four others throw in SC20 each, with half going towards the bounty pool. That gives you a total of SC50, sliced into three prizes using a 50%, 30%, and 20% split. Two players drop out, leaving three of you in the ring. It’s bounty time! You’ve hit the ‘in the bounty stage,’ and those three bounties are randomly assigned. From here on out, every elimination nets you a bounty, but the value of that bounty? That’s still a mystery until you claim it. If you’re the last one standing, you get to pocket your own bounty too.
