PartyPoker.com is offering eight players the chance to attend the biggest and most colourful party in the world: The Rio de Janeiro carnival.
The promotion runs from January 12th through to the 18th. If you earn 20 PartyPoints in a day you win a seat to the next day’s Rio Carnival tournament where you can win one of 10 seats for the final on January 20th. If you earn 50 PartyPoints in a day you win a seat in the next day’s Rio Carnival tournament where you can win one of 25 seats in the final. Alternatively, if you earn 750 points between the 12th and 18th you get a seat in the final automatically.
The top eight in the final win a stunning package worth $8,000, which includes five nights’ accommodation for two in a four star hotel, two tickets to one night of the famous parade, a professional translator, transfers in a chauffeur-driven limo and a travel voucher worth $2,200 per couple. The carnival starts on the February 2nd and finishes on the 5th. There is no cash alternative to this prize.
A PartyPoker.com spokesman said: “This is a unique opportunity and a chance in a lifetime. Most poker players know the Rio Casino and Hotel in Las Vegas – not Rio de Janeiro in Brazil!”
For more information see the Rio Carnival promotion page.
