The traditional WEDNESDAY BATTLE 5K at the Rebuy Stars casino in Zvolen is coming with a new feature that can bring a reward to anyone during the ongoing tournament. Starting today, September 9, 2026, the tournament changes its name to WEDNESDAY JACKPOT BATTLE 5K and adds a tournament jackpot with a starting value of €500 to the original parameters. Everyone will be able to grab the premiere jackpot today from 7:00 PM.
Wednesday night will continue to be a tournament with a €4,250 guarantee, a €60 buy-in and unlimited re-entry. This time, however, players will have another reason to keep an eye on their cards. Four of a Kind , i.e. Poker , Straight Flush or Royal Flush , can also mean a share of the new jackpot.
You don't have to wait until the tournament winner is decided to win the jackpot. The new feature applies throughout the tournament, including the final table. The winning combination and the fulfillment of the conditions for its recognition are decisive.
The jackpot starts at €500 and grows with each entry.
Today's premiere jackpot will start at €500 . It will increase by €1 for each buy-in and each re-entry, and this contribution is already included in the €60 entry fee.
The jackpot reward amount is always calculated from the current jackpot value according to the combination won:
Winning combination | Share of the current jackpot | Example with a jackpot of €500 |
Poker / Four of a Kind | 10% | 50€ |
Straight Flush – straight in color | 30% | 150€ |
Royal Flush – a royal straight in a suit | 80% | 400€ |
The amounts given are an example for a value of €500. As the jackpot grows, the value of the individual rewards also grows. After a win, the jackpot will be reduced by the amount paid out and the unpaid balance will be carried over to the next Wednesday, with the jackpot never being lower than €500. The jackpot will thus connect the individual editions of the WEDNESDAY JACKPOT BATTLE 5K.
Both of your own cards must be part of the combination
The key condition is simple: the player must use both of their hand cards to form a winning combination . A combination on the table alone or using just one of their own cards is not enough for the jackpot prize.
A claim can also be made in a hand that ends without a call. However, the player must show their cards and prove the relevant combination after the hand ends. Jackpot winnings are paid in Lucky Chips . These chips are intended for live games.
New name, familiar tournament format
The WEDNESDAY JACKPOT BATTLE 5K retains the original structure and benefits, including Early Bird benefits and refreshments. Players start with 30,000 chips , levels are initially 25 minutes long, then 20 minutes long. Late registration is open for the first 10 levels, until approximately midnight , and unlimited re-entry remains available.
The basis of Wednesday's tournament remains the same, but selected premium combinations are now gaining in size. In addition to competing for tournament placement, they can also bring players a jackpot reward.
Come play the premiere WEDNESDAY JACKPOT BATTLE 5K today, Wednesday, September 9th at 7:00 PM, at the Rebuy Stars Zvolen casino. The starting jackpot of €500 is up for grabs!
