The final two teams in the Sports Legends All-Star Poker Challenge will have the opportunity to win the Hold ‘Em Bonus. The Hold ‘Em Bonus will be paid if any of the four contestants are dealt a Royal Flush on their first hand of heads-up play at the final table. Should they do so, they will win $1,000,000. In the event that more than one player achieves a Royal Flush on the same hand – the grand prize is split evenly.
Each player in the event will have the opportunity to enter a six digit code into our onsite prize vault. Should a player match the secret “Bust Out” code they will receive $1,000,000. In the event that more than one player enters a correct secret code – the grand prize is split evenly.
One player in the Sports Legends Challenge will be chosen at random to participate in the Legends Bonus Round with the opportunity to win $1,000,000. The contest area will be set up with a playing board that will display 25 envelopes, each printed with one of the Sports Legend’s names/photos on the front. Three envelopes will contain a “$” symbol; 22 envelopes will contain a red “X”. The contestant will be asked to select and open three envelopes. If they find:
- One "$" - they win $1,000
- Two "$" - they win $10,000
- Three "$" - they win $1,000,000
As part of the closest-to-the-pin competition, should any or all players achieve a hole-in-one, each will receive $1,000,000.
