Winning Poker Network (WPN): Bomb Pots promotion since June 2020

Winning Poker Network (PokerKing, Americas Cardroom, Black Chip Poker) has announced a new permanent promotion since June: Bomb Pots, which will add random rewards to the tables when the flop is dealt.

Bomb Pots: Promotion Features

The wave of randomly triggered bonuses at the cash tables began in February 2019 with the introduction of Splash the Pot at Run It Once Poker, Phil Galfond's room. Two weeks later, GGPoker Network decided to copy the model and launched Cash Drops.

Until now, WPN has not conducted any "amateur-oriented" or random promotions.

Actually, the poker rooms of the Winning Poker Network are one of the few remaining sites with a good rakeback deal through a traditional loyalty program, rake races, and reload bonuses. But, apparently, the network is taking another direction now.

Starting in June 2020, a permanent promotion — BombPots, will be launched for all players.

What do we know about the Bomb Pots features?

Bomb Pots will be triggered at cash tables of all stakes;
Such events will occur up to four times an hour only during "Happy Hours";
Outside of Happy Hours, Bomb Pots will be added only at specially designated tables;
At the BombPots tables, all players will place automatic extra bets in addition to the blinds;
There is no preflop game at such tables; all players will be able to see the flop, and after that, the hand continues as usual.

Is BombPots designed for amateur players?

Based on all these features, Bomb Pots should more precisely be called a new game rather than a new promotion, although it's being advertised as such. However, it won't have its own tables and will be deployed across all cash tables.

Bomb Pots is a random format that appears on a single hand, in which players pay extra ante preflop (of an unknown size so far), and the game will begin on the flop.

For regular players, the most crucial thing will be the frequency of happy hours per day and the extra fee to be paid when BombPots are activated. It's clear that in such hands the variance will be higher and of course, many recreational players will be attracted by the possibility of playing all hands seeing the flop.

Bomb Pots and the release of the Chinese version of the WPN client could be related somehow. Amateur players are particularly interested in fun games and random promotions, and WPN may be getting ready for the influx of Asian traffic.
