Jet Set Challenge takes players global
The Jet Set Challenge provides you with a poker-based challenge to collect prize chests – containing special in-game throwables or a $109 Sunday Million ticket – and a chance to virtually travel across four continents. In order to collect one of the chests, players will need to earn Jet Set miles to reach 20 global landmarks.
Each Jet Set Season event played earns 200 miles, with bonus miles earned for completing challenges. If you complete one of the four continent's row of challenges, you earn a ticket into the corresponding All In Shoot Out on July 7 – with over $300K in tournament tickets up for grabs.
The All in Shoot Outs (AISO) will award the following prize pools:
- $30,000 for the Asia AISO
- $60,225 for the Europe AISO
- $101,500 for the Americas AISO
- $125,300 for the Africa AISO
Jet Set Rush
If you're looking for an added thrill to compliment the tournament schedule, Jet Set Rush runs from June 9-29 and you can opt in through the Challenges Window in the PokerStars client.
Jet Set Rush keeps the thrills coming from June 9-29. Jet Set Rush consists of 16 challenges – represented by a grid divided into four reels – with prizes for completing each of the four sets. The rewards include Free Spins, Instant Bonuses, or cash. Complete all 16 challenges in sequential order to unlock the Jet Set Rush Vault with a guaranteed cash prize.
"Jet Set Season is designed to let players kick back, play some friendly, competitive poker and have fun for a few weeks, after the intensity of SCOOP,” said Steve Clarricoats, Associate Director of Poker Operations. “It’s the online poker equivalent of kicking back in the sunshine with your friends and will hopefully bring the summer travel vibes to the players who are at the online tables in the sunny season”.
If you want to take part in Jet Set Season there's still plenty of time to sign up for PokerStars.
