Wynn Classic Giving Away 13 Free Poker EntriesJust One Hour of Play Can Get You Into the Main Event |
|
Most casinos’ promotions require you to spend anywhere from 40-80 hours in their poker room over a month or two to become eligible for a freeroll tournament, which you then need to win to get any substantial amount of money. The Wynn has decided to do something a little different.
In an effort to promote its annual Wynn Classic, the Wynn will award 13 free entries to a variety of its events, including a seat in the $10,200 main event. The promotion giving away these seats is currently under way, and players can get in on the action now.
For every hour a player logs at the Wynn poker room, he earns an electronic ticket for 13 drawings that will take place Feb. 16-19. It’s a system that rewards the loyal player, as he gets more chances to win for each hour he puts in, but one that also appeals to the casual player who doesn’t have as much time to offer.
There will be four drawings a day on Feb. 16, 17, and 18 — one at 11 a.m., 3 p.m., 7 p.m., and 11 p.m. Nine seats to one of the Wynn’s $1,060 events will be given, and three seats to the Wynn’s $2,080 event on March 13 will be given. The final drawing, at 7 p.m. on Feb. 19, will be for a $10,200 seat in the main event, scheduled to begin March 16.
You must be present for the drawing to collect your prize.
The Wynn Classic kicks off on Feb. 26 and concludes March 19. There are four $545 events, nine $1,060 events, one $1,575 event, and one $3,100 event, in addition to the main event. The majority of the tournaments are no-limit hold’em, but there will be two events in Omaha eight-or-better and one pot-limit Omaha rebuy event. Check out the complete schedule of the 2009 Wynn Classic.
Last year, about half of the events in the Wynn Classic saw more than 100 players compete, with the Classic’s largest tournament field of the year coming on Feb. 28 with 621 players. Chris Moore beat out 182 other players to win nearly $700,000 at the 2008 Wynn Classic main event.
