Strip Poker: Weekly Freeroll at TuscanyLog in 10 Hours of Play to Qualify |
|
In this "Strip Poker" series, Card Player covers the Las Vegas poker scene - on The Strip and around the city.
In an effort to give back to its players, the Tuscany Casino is making it as easy as possible for regulars to qualify for its weekly freeroll.
From 12 a.m. Saturday morning until the next week at the same time, players must log in 10 hours of live cash-game play. If that sounds like a big time commitment, players can come in from 2 a.m.-7 a.m. or 2 p.m.-7 p.m. to earn double hours. This allows players to cut the time that they have to spend at a table to qualify in half.
The Tuscany also runs daily rebuy tournaments at 4 a.m., 10 a.m., and 7 p.m. The initial buy-in is $25, which gets players 1,500 in starting chips. Players can immediately add on for $10 more for an additional 1,000 in chips. Blinds go up every 15 minutes and $10 (1,000 in chips) or $20 (2,000 in chips) rebuys are allowed during the first 45 minutes if a player's chip stack gets below 1,000. Hours logged in during the tournament will count towards qualifying for the freeroll if the player competes in a cash game immediately afterwards for at least one hour.
The weekly freeroll tournament takes place every Saturday at 2 p.m. Player who log in the minimum 10 hours start with 1,000 chips. Twenty hours gets players a 2,000 starting stack, and 30 hours is worth 4,000. Players also have the option of paying $50 for 5,000 in additional starting chips. The money for add-ons is added to the original prize pool, made up of $1 taken from each qualifying cash-game pot. The prize pool varies depending on rake and number of add-ons but has averaged about $5,000 during the past few weeks.
