The Microgaming online poker network has been at the forefront of the satellite tournament scene for the last week, having given away an impressive accumulation of jackpot earnings and buy-ins to the professional poker circuits most anticipate, big-money tournaments. And to top it all off, the renowned online software and gaming solutions developer still has more buy-ins to give away through their far-reaching online poker network.

Last week alone, Microgaming gave away a total of $400,000 in buy-ins to thirty-two tournament winners at seventeen different online poker rooms in the Microgaming poker network. Twenty players grabbed $9,000 buy-in packages to the EPT Dormund, which is scheduled to begin this week, while ten other skillful players were each bestowed with $16,600 buy-ins to the EPT Monte Carlo taking place over the last weekend of March.

One of the most celebrated of popker tournaments - the World Series of Poker (WSOP) - is at the centere of a giant promotion in which a series of online satellite tournaments for the WSOP finals - valued at $15,000 each - will be given away (the first of these was already given away on March 4). Additionally, Microgaming is throwing an all-inclusive promotion in which six players will each win $50,000 sorth of buy-ins to the WSOP tournament of their choice, as well as be pampered with two paid roundtrip airfares to Las Vegas, five-star accommodations and $3,500 in spending cash.

With all this going on, Microgaming CEO, Roger Raatgever, was quick to issue a press release detailing the news. Raatgever made it clear that the Microgaming online poker network believes that players are entitled to more than just having their buy-ins covered to the world's biggest poker tournaments. Helping players get to the tournaments, paying for accommodations and even providing ground support are all part of their generous package deals. Much the same can be said about Microgaming's large family of online casino licensees and gaming operators.
