Poker Room’s new promotion will award players who hit “8-bit Monsters” with instant cash prizes between $5 and $1,000. These “monsters” are particular hands and game situations; if a player comes across them during a cash game then the prize will be instantly deposited into his/her account. In addition, any player that collects 4 “monsters” will also win the accumulated $5,000 Jackpot. If nobody hits the jackpot during the week, the PokerRoom.com will add another $5,000 until a player finally hits it.
