50 billion and counting: PokerStars growing exponentially17 September 2010
Let's put that number in perspective. To deal 50 billion hands in nine years, PokerStars has averaged:
But the site's growth since that decision hasn't been linear, it's been exponential. The following are the dates on which PokerStars dealt a "milestone" hand.
What's really nuts about the growth of PokerStars is that the site has dealt out nearly 10 billion hands in the last seven months. Again, more mind-numbing statistics on that period of time:
The 50 billionth hand will award players at the table $500 per VPP earned over the previous 50 hands (plus a bonus $500), with the winner earning twice that amount, plus another bonus of $50,000. All players dealt into the hand will also earn a World Championship of Online Poker Main Event seat, worth $5,200. Sit-and-go players are also being rewarded with special 50-player tournaments with $1.10, $5.50, $11, $22 and $55 buy-ins. Until Sept. 25, players who win one of these tournaments will claim a share of $50,000, which will be divvied up between all the winners at each buy-in level. Players who win more than one of the events will claim more than one share of added prize.
