Re: Palms $1,000,000 Freeroll
300 hours for 60/mth shouldn't be THAT hard.
Word will spread about this.
If they get 500 players for this then the entry is $2k in value for each player on average.
I'm going to approximate that 300 hours will only get $1k in tourney value due to the chip-stack reduction (which we don't know details about yet of course, just guessing).
So that's $3.33/hr in value.
It ends up working like a generous comp-system for super high-volume players. (although I believe players will continue to get $1 an hour in comps while they're playing as well so that's something I guess).
For the 500 hour players I'll guess the entry is $4k in tourney-value.
So that's $8/hr (plus an extra $1/hr earned for comps).
Not completely horrible.
But it's interesting to me how they could say, "Play 100 hours a month at our site and get paid $8/hr" and lots of people would say, "So what."
But if they say, "Entry to $1-million tourney!!!" which is essentially the same thing (a little worse actually since you don't get to choose how to spend your own $8/hr) it will no doubt bring in the customers.
