Party Poker has long been a trailblazer in terms of getting together interesting new promotions for people to enjoy. One of these is the Million Dollar Hand promotion which has worked out quite well for them in the past. They have brought it back this year though and it will be run starting on May 4th and continuing all the way through to May 23rd.

After you’ve opted into the promotion, you will receive a poker card from Party Poker that you can digitally keep in your account. Then, every time you earn 15 Party Points through the real money cash games and tournaments that the site has to offer, you will receive an additional card on top of the first.

As you may have already guessed, your goal here is to keep on getting cards until you are able to make a five-card poker hand that is worth at least a pair or higher. You can keep cards well past the five-card area however, allowing you to either turn in what you have right now or hold onto the cards in the hopes of getting a great card to help you get a bigger prize.

A pair hand is worth $3 in bonus cash from Party Poker. Then you can get $10 for two pairs, $20 for three of a kind, $50 for a straight, $100 for a flush, $150 for a full house, $1000 for four of a kind, $10,000 for a straight flush and the namesake of the tournament at $1 million for a royal flush.

There is no real limit to the number of different hands that you can turn in of any one type, although there is a limit of two poker hands per day allowed per player during this promotion. Theoretically, this means that you could earn multiple royal flush hands if you’re really lucky and win multiple millions of dollars as a result. This is why people have loved this promotion in the past and this is why it continues to be a popular promotion even to this very day.
