THE PLAYER - Ladbrokes

POKER CRUISE - ON BOARD GAMES
SIDE EVENTS
Holders of Festival Tickets can sign
up for any of the Side Events from the
comprehensive Festival of Poker.
The schedule of events will appeal to all player types, and a limited
number of seats for each event have been released for preregistration.
See the full listing in the MTT section of the lobby,
under Cruise. The remainder will be available to players on the ship
on a first come first served basis.
The final table of most tournaments will be played out on a
televised table, which will be broadcast live around the ship, with
highlights available on Ladbrokespoker.com.
Other tournaments may be added to this schedule by the
Tournament Director should the time and space become available.
Those players who are fortunate enough to have remained in the
later stages of the Main Event, who cannot therefore participate in
other events for which they have qualified, will receive a full refund
(subject to terms and conditions). See Ladbrokespoker.com
CASH GAMES
The Ladbrokes Poker Cruise is as much about cash games as tournament play, and a
comprehensive range of cash game offerings will be available whenever the cruise ship
is in international waters.
As the Festival is all about playing great poker, there will be no
shortage of entertaining varieties of poker. The cash games will start
every day with all your usual favourites such as Limit and No Limit
Hold’em together with Pot Limit Omaha. Interest lists will be
advertised for all other games, including but not limited to, Pot Limit
Hold’em, Omaha High/Low (8 or better), 7 Card Stud and many
other games, even Chinese Poker.
Cash games will be running whenever the ship is not in a port and
players want to play. Limits and buy-ins will vary so as to suit all

GOLDEN TICKETS!
It’s the biggest and best promotion in online
poker for Ladbrokes cash game players and
there are still tickets left to win.
As part of our ‘investing in players’ approach, we have been giving
away $1,000 ‘Golden Tickets’ to cash game players. There are still
tickets up for grabs. Play cash games at Ladbrokes, and there’s a
good chance that one will float your way.
The Golden Tickets can be exchanged for total or part payment of
any event in the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise – Festival of Poker, or fully
redeemed on board for cash game chips.
Whilst these tickets are strictly non-transferable, there is no limit on
the number of tickets that any one player can accumulate. In fact,
the top Golden Ticket Holder will receive a bonus ‘Golden Ticket
Carnet’ of 10 tickets – that’s $10,000 extra to play with on the ship.
The offer is open to all players, whether you have qualified for the
Festival of Poker on the Ladbrokes Poker Cruise - or not. Of course
you will need to qualify for a Cruise ‘Festival’ ticket if you wish to
cash in the $1,000 value of your Golden Ticket.
The promotion will finish immediately the ship is fully booked.
There will be no refunds for Golden Ticket holders should the ship
be filled and qualification has not been achieved. If you are unable
to take part in the Cruise, you will be able to convert your Golden
Ticket into an entry for the invite-only $50,000 ‘Land Lubbers’
consolation Freeroll in January.
HOW DO I WIN GOLDEN TICKETS?
We are dealing ‘Golden Hands’ every 100,000 hands. Ladbrokes deal approximately
800,000 hands a day – so these will be numerous and regular.
If you are sitting at a table where a magic hand is dealt, you only have
to win that hand to get a Golden Ticket. The Golden Hand will be
announced in the player text chat. Please note that the hand must
involve three or more players and be a real cash game. If the hand
does not meet these criteria, it will strike on the next valid hand.
Want to discover who’s in contention for Golden Tickets?
Then visit our limited period, ground-breaking cash game
tournament leaderboards.
These leaderboards will show the top 500 most profitable weekly
players in every type of cash game, with some levels grouped
together. These leaderboards will be updated approximately every
hour and will run from Monday 00:01 to Sunday Midnight. Check out
the Golden Tickets section of Ladbrokespoker.com for more details.
