To help you see when the next Jackpot is coming, the hands will be counted down directly on the Winamax software.
If at least €100,000 has not been awarded after the Two-Billionth hand is played, the “100,000 Jackpot” and “Million Jackpot” hands will continue until the €100,000 guarantee has been paid out to players.
WARNING: only players who are dealt cards on the exact Jackpot hand will be rewarded. Any player sitting-out at the beginning of the hand (a player in the process of rebuying for example) will not receive a jackpot.
If you leave the table and then return, taking a new seat at the table (even just a few minutes later), a new session begins. The Miles earned during the previous session will not be taken into account.
