Poker Room has just launched “8 Bits of Everyday Poker,” a new promotion that awards players with instant cash and a chance to win an accumulating $5,000 jackpot.

Poker Room’s new promotion is reminiscent of the once very popular Pokemon game and cards – with the tag line “Can you catch’em all?” Poker Room is presenting eight “8-bit Monsters” to be collected for instant cash prizes between $5 and $1,000.

The so-called monsters are specific hands and situations; if a player encounters them in cash play the prize will be automatically deposited into their account. But that is not all: if a player manages to collect 4 “monsters” they will also win a $5,000 Jackpot. If the jackpot is not hit in a week, another $5,000 will be added until a lucky winner takes it all.

Poker Room’s 8-bit monsters are illustrated with funky little graphics, and they each have a name, value, and set of conditions:

• Hey Presto - $5 - You are dealt pocket 5s and make a set (three of a kind) twice in 3 days.
• Ace Cracker - $10 - You are dealt a pocket pair, between 2s and 10s, that goes on to beat your opponent’s pocket pair of aces.
• Dire Straights - $15 - Your bigger straight beats your opponent’s little straight at the showdown, twice in 2 days.
• Boatman - $20 - Dealt any pocket pair, make a Full House to beat your opponent’s flush.
• Flusher Crusher - $25 - Your straight flush beats your opponent’s flush at the showdown.
• Double Trouble - $50 - You are dealt a pocket pair, between 2s and 10s, your pair beats your opponent’s pocket pair of aces. Do it twice in 3 days.
• King Killer - $500 - You are dealt pocket Aces, your opponent gets pocket Kings. Opponent gets a 3rd King and your Aces get four of a suit for the flush.
• Half man half fish - $1,000 - You are dealt a pocket pair. Your opponent pushes all in and you showdown 4 of a kind.

There is hope for those who think these hands are too difficult to hit: the Poker Room leaderboard shows that – at the time of writing this – one player has already hit the jackpot, two are lined up for the next $5,000 with 3 monsters, and seven other players have already collected two 8-bit monsters each.
