Features of the series
888Poker launched Mystery Bounty tournaments on September 25, 2022, and after that, they remained in the regular grid and also were the backbone of two series. In late February 2023, the room announced ¡a new festival in which all events will be played under this format.
888Poker will host the Mystery Bounty Festival from February 19 to March 7, 2023, guaranteeing over $2,000,000 across more than 200 MTT.
Also, as in this year's XL Winter Series, 888 will divide all the events of the series into two large groups: numbered and daily.
The first group is as follows:
- Buy-ins – from $5.5 to $320, but only 11 tournaments up to $11
- There will be three major events with six-figure guarantees. Only one of them – $120,000 Mystery Bounty Opening MB Festival #03 – for $109 features no flights
- 25 of the numbered tournaments guarantee $15K and $20K.
- The main event features a $109 buy-in with a guarantee of $300,000 and a maximum bounty of $30K.
- Fridays will be off

Multi-flighted tournaments
| Tournament | Day 1 | Day 2 |

| MB Festival – $300,000 Main Event | 1-6 March | 7 March |
In these events, unlike all the others in the Mystery Bounty Festival, the bounty stage does not start after the completion of late registration but only on the final day.
The flights for such events have three structures:
- Hyper (3 minutes blinds)
- Turbo (6 minutes)
- Daily (12 minutes)
In all cases, players get 166.7 BB, and the game ends after level 18 or if 14% of the registered players remain at the tables.
You can get into Day 1 from centrolls and directly through freerolls.
