There is a minimum buy-in of €20,000 and a maximum buy-in of €40,000. There is also a chance for players to win a seat through the partypoker online Big Game Challenge. The online winner will get the $20,000 Big Game buy-in, a $5,300 MILLIONS Online entry, and a €1,100 MILLIONS Open entry. Besides that, they get accommodation for five nights and $900 for travel and expenses. This challenge started on January 25 and will run till February 4.

The Big Game is a popular event with the public because it allows fan interaction. Fans of The Big Game will be happy that the vote-off has come back. Viewers will be able to vote to save their favorite player from being kicked out of the game. The player with the most votes and the most aggressive player will be saved until the next round of voting. However, the player with the least votes will be kicked out.

A new feature is going to be added though. Called the party button booster, anyone who draws the button on first-hand places a dead big blind on the button. As the game continues, every player will add to the button’s big blind. When the button wins the hand, they win the button booster. The process is then repeated, with a chance for future winners.

For those who are curious about all the excitement, earlier episodes of The Big Game are now available to watch. They can be found on the following channels: Front Runner, Sky ch468, and Freesat ch250 UK. Additionally, those with access to the My partypoker LIVE app can watch it on partypoker TV.
