World Cup Poker Series Underway on Ignition
The FIFA World Cup is underway in Qatar. If you have a television or internet access, you probably know this already. It is exciting for football fans, soccer fans, and sports fans around the world.
Ignition Poker and Bovada Poker joined forces to celebrate the World Cup with a special series of poker tournaments. It started on November 17 but will continue through December 18. When all is said and done, there will have been 120 tournaments and more than $2M awarded to poker players.
And besides the poker action, there is a free slots bonus for everyone who even enters a World Cup poker tournament.
World Cup of Poker?
Not exactly. Ignition and Bovada have combined their poker rooms to offer a series of poker tournaments around the World Cup. While watching the action in Qatar from afar, player can pull up some poker tournaments and get in on the $2M worth of guaranteed prize pools.
The series began on November 17 but runs for several more weeks, complete with several World Cup events each day. As an example, this is the lineup for Sunday, December 4:
-7:22am: $82 buy-in World Cup KO Stage NLHE Event w/$15 knockouts ($5K GTD)
-11:22am: $27.50 buy-in World Cup KO Stage NLHE Event w/$5 PKO ($2K GTD)

And in the middle of that lineup, at 3:22pm, there will be a World Cup Special Edition tournament with a $162 buy-in and $222K guarantee.
To wrap it all on December 18, there will be two big finales:
-1:22pm: $109 buy-in World Cup Final Mini Wrap-Up NLHE Event ($122K GTD)
-2:22pm: $1,055 buy-in World Cup Final Wrap-Up NLHE Event ($222K GTD)
Bonus Slot Play
Players who enter any World Cup tournament will receive a bonus of 50 free spins on the popular Zombie FC online slot game on Ignition or the Golden Buffalo slot on Bovada. Keep in mind, this is only for players who do not finish in the money. It is also a one-time bonus.
Tip: The free spins on Ignition have the potential to be more lucrative with a $500 max win than on Bovada with a $20 max cashout.
If you are so inclined to play some slots, both sites have a Hot Drop Jackpot promotion happening on four particular slots: A Night with Cleo, 777 Deluxe, Golden Buffalo, and Reels of Fortune. Hourly jackpots averaging $1K must drop before the end of each hour, and daily jackpots must drop each day with an average prize of $25K. Then there is one super jackpot that must pay before it hits $250K each time.
More than $5M is awarded each month until the promotion ends.
