Gold Cards: |
Overlay: Unknown |
|
Cake Poker has created 260,000 Gold Cards, which will be given away at real money ring games. The Gold Cards are randomly drawn whenever a real money table has generated the required amount of rake. Cake Poker has not indicated how much rake it takes, however with the launch of Series 3 in late January reports from players suggest they are being given more often. The higher stakes that you play, the more often your table will receive a Gold Card. When a Gold Card is awarded to the table, it will be randomly given to a player at the table who was dealt cards. The higher the rank of the Gold Card, the more difficult it is to receive. For example, a "2" will be given away anywhere from 1 in 7 to 1 in 10 times a Gold Card is issued, whereas an "A" will be given away anywhere from 1 in 12,500 (Ace of Clubs) to 1 in 5,000,000 (Ace of Spades) a Gold Card is issued.
Every day, Cake Poker will announce a Gold Card Daily Lottery. The lottery will allow players who have the winning Gold Cards in their collection to redeem them for cash or tickets to exclusive tournaments. In addition to the Lottery, there are fixed prizes that are always available for you to redeem your Series 3 Gold Cards. As an alternative, players can choose to hold on to their Gold Cards and try to redeem them for large Series 3 Guaranteed Prizes, including the $52,000 Gold Card Jackpot, which can be earned either by collecting all 52 Gold Cards in the deck or be awarded to the player with the most unique Series 3 Gold Cards 30 days after the last Series 3 Gold Card is released.
Gold Cards can also be used for freeroll entries.

Each gold card collected during the week will add miles to your running total. "Miles" are earned according to the rank and suite of your Gold Card and the blinds in which you were playing when you received the card. The first 10 players to achieve 500 miles will win a prize for that week. The payout structure is shown on the table to the right. $2,500 in prizes will be given away weekly.
