How it works

Every day from 18:00 to 23:00 CET, there will be a race available every hour. The first players to fill in their proposed race will win one of the precious Talismans.

Once in possession of a Talisman, it is displayed at the table of your next Expresso and your winnings in this Expresso will be doubled. Should you win, the Talisman will stay in your possession and your winnings will again be doubled in your next Expresso.

But be warned, if you don’t win the Expresso, the Talisman goes to the winner who will then in turn see their winnings doubled in their next Expresso.



Talismans are active until 01:00am CET. At 01:00 CET, once all the running Expresso games are finished, the Talismans are taken out of play and all the players who held one will receive an Expresso ticket of the buy-in in question as compensation.

The race to be completed in order to win a Talisman will be revealed at the start of every hour. There are 6 different races in total:


  • Win 3 “4x” or more Expresso tournaments
  • Win 2 “6x” or more Expresso tournaments
  • Play 9 “2x” Expresso tournaments in a row
  • Win 10 Expresso tournaments
  • Win 4 Expresso tournaments in a row
  • Win 10 points in Expresso tournaments according to the following point scheme: 2 points for a victory and -1 point for a 2nd or 3rd place finish.

The number of Talismans given out varies according to the time and buy-in:

Important information

If a player holding a Talisman launches multiple Expresso games at the same time, the Talisman will only be active on the first Expresso to start.

A player may hold multiple Talismans at the same time. If they hold multiple Talismans of the same buy-in, their first Talisman will count towards the next Expresso to begin, the second on the Expresso which follows, etc.

For every race, a player can only win one Talisman per buy-in. They can win another Talisman in the next race and win others by taking them from other players on the tables.

For an Expresso to be taken into account, it must start after the starting time of the race.

If there are multiple Talismans at the same table, the winner of the Expresso will win all of the Talismans.

A Talisman is only valid at the buy-in at which it was won.

For Expresso x50 and higher (with 3 paid places), the player who holds the Talisman doubles their winnings should they finish in 2nd or 3rd place (but they lose their Talisman).

At the end of play at 01:00 CET, if a player holds multiple Talismans, they receive one Expresso ticket per Talisman.

If all the Talismans have not been given out for any given race by the time the next race begins, these will not be given out.

Conforming to our terms and conditions, it is strictly forbidden to make a deal with other players at your table in order to win a prize (collusion). It is also forbidden to work with other players to launch Expresso games at the same time in order to improve your chances of winning.
Players found to commit fraud, collusion or other cheating will lose any prizes they may have won and their accounts will be locked or potentially closed permanently.
