The series, however, speaks to the resilience of the NJ online poker market. It was, in the end, another tournament series that squeaked by its guarantees (mostly). On the surface, the Bounty Builder Series in NJ may appear as more of the same. Both PokerStars PA and PokerStars NJ achieved those goals. We made it a competition when the reality is it is two online poker markets doing its thing to bring value to customers and profits to the bottom line. Before you say, not everyone can be a winner know this isn’t the same as a participation trophy. When you look at the numbers, of course, it is easy to say PA won the battle. New Jersey posted four overlays totaling $2,796. PA had three tournaments with overlays for a total of $14,108. That is how much more PokerStars PA paid in overlays compared to PokerStars NJ. Unfortunately, PA also has another winning percentage: 404%.
There were 3,231 rebuys for 11,006 total entries. In PA, 7,775 players took their seats in one or more of the Bounty Builder Series events. Of those, 1,682 of those players re-entered for 5,034 total entries. NJ registered 3,352 players across the 32 events. Overall, PA had a 122% bigger prize pool that NJ. The guarantee was $500,000, and players contributed $788,056 to the total prize pool. Pennsylvania, on the other hand, crushed its series’ guarantee by 58%. New Jersey’s total prize pool came in at $354,653, 18% more than its $300,000 guarantee. Bounty Builder Series, by the numbersīoth the New Jersey and Pennsylvania markets exceeded their series’ guarantees.
The tournament didn’t lose any ground, and that says a lot for the struggling online poker market. Sure, PA hosted a bigger series, but NJ performed similarly to its big tournament series of the past. With higher guarantees and a new, excited pool of poker players, it seemed PA was destined to thrive, and NJ online poker might take a step backward. In a surprise move last month, it was announced that the PokerStars and Fox Bet series was coming to NJ and PA for the first time, with the plan to host them concurrently. What may be shocking, though, is it was a success in both online poker markets. There is no doubt when looking at the numbers that the series was a success. The Bounty Builder Series online poker tournament in New Jersey and Pennsylvania has come to a close.
