CoinPoker is celebrating the Lunar New Year from now until Friday with extra value for both tournament and cash game players. A total of $8,888 will be added to tournament prize pools and awarded in random prize drops between January 27-31.
One tournament each day this week will receive an extra $888 in the prize pool, with a further $888 awarded every day to cash game players.
The amounts each day, and overall, relate to the perceived good fortune and wealth associated with the number 8 in Chinese culture, where the word sounds similar to ‘prosper’.

One tournament per day, each with a buy-in of $8.88, will have $888 added to its prize pool. Each of these tournaments starts at 12:05pm GMT.

Cash game prize drops with the God of Wealth
An account with the username ‘GodofWealth’ will appear at certain cash game tables during the week and stay for one orbit, awarding instant cash prizes.
$888 will be dished out to cash game players every day of this week, at tables with buy-ins from $2 to $200.
