partypoker LIVE has just given a €2.5 million boost to its forthcoming MILLIONS Germany festival with total guarantees now up to a staggering €12.5 million. The festival runs 8th to 18th February and marks partypoker MILLIONS debut in Germany, taking place at the celebrated King’s Casino Europe in Rozvadov.

At the request of players, partypoker LIVE is adding a €50,000 Super High Roller to the already exciting schedule in Rozvadov. The Super High Roller, which comes with a €1 million guarantee, will run over two days, starting on 12th February with the final the following day.

A weekly satellite schedule is making it more affordable for players to qualify for the €5 million guaranteed MILLIONS Germany Main Event. The buy-in for the weekly finals, which are held every Sunday and come with ten €5,300 seats guaranteed, is just $530. Players can buy in to any stage of the qualification path with satellites starting at just $0.01.

Special promotion for first 100 qualifiers

In addition to the ten €5,300 seats guaranteed every week in the Sunday finals, partypoker is juicing it up even more for “early bird” satellite winners. The first 100 players to win their €5,300 seat for the Main Event on partypoker.com will be given an additional $250 in cash. The prize has no restriction – players can spend the money on whatever they like – and the cash will reach the player’s account within 48 hours of him or her winning their MILLIONS Germany seat. There have been 40 satellite winners so far, which means there are still 60 cash prizes to be won.

MILLIONS Online Promotion

partypoker will also add value to the loyal partypoker LIVE customers who have supported the MILLIONS events by adding $53,000 of MILLIONS Online seats to the MILLIONS Main Event, with 1st – 10th place in each receiving a $5,300 MILLIONS Online seat running 25th November to 5th December.

MILLIONS Germany is the last MILLIONS event of partypoker LIVE’s amazing first season before the spectacular MILLIONS Grand Final takes place in Barcelona in April. So far, MILLIONS has hosted highly successful events in the UK, North America and Russia, as well as the $5,000,000 guarantee Caribbean Poker Party MILLIONS Main Event in Punta Cana at the end of 2017.

King’s Casino Europe, which boasts Europe’s largest dedicated poker room, lies on the Czech border just two hours drive from both Munich and Prague. The Casino has already hosted three prestigious partypoker LIVE events this year: the Grand Prix Germany in May, the Million Germany in June and the German Poker Championships in August. There is capacity to seat more than 1,000 players for major events and the Casino also has a thriving cash game scene with tables open 24/7.

MILLIONS Germany heralds the start of a very exciting year for the MILLIONS tour with stops in North America, the UK, Russia and the Caribbean Poker Party already on the schedule. There is a new stop in Barcelona for the MILLIONS Grand Final.

partypoker ambassador and tennis legend Boris Becker said: “We are really looking forward to MILLIONS making its debut in Germany – and I’m thrilled that partypoker has responded to players who wanted a Super High Roller and that’s now been added to the schedule. The €1 million guarantees for the Super High Rollers are incredible and will make for some very exciting poker at King’s Casino Europe with such huge prize money at stake.”

partypoker LIVE president John Duthie added: “The forthcoming MILLIONS Germany really does offer something for everyone. With nine tournaments now on the schedule, cash bonuses for the first 100 qualifiers and a $5,300 MILLIONS Online seat for the top 10 finishers, we are now set for a fantastic event in Rozvadov. MILLIONS has already established itself as the premier live poker tour and we are very excited about what 2018 has in store.”
