More Cards, More Action: 888poker’s New PLO Options

For those looking to break from traditional no-limit hold’em, 888poker has expanded its offerings with new 5 and 6-card pot-limit Omaha (PLO) variants in their cash game lobby. These new formats bring the excitement of more cards, larger draws, and higher potential pots, offering a fresh take on Omaha for players seeking a twist on the game.

What’s Different in PLO 5 and PLO 6?

While the core rules of Omaha remain the same, these new variants add more hole cards—five or six, depending on the game you choose. Players still need to use exactly two of their hole cards to make the best five-card hand, but the extra options introduce a new layer of strategy. The betting structure remains pot-limit, with cash game stakes available from 1c/2c up to $5/10.

Special Promotions: $20,000 Freerolls, Extra Rakeback, and More

To celebrate the launch of PLO5 and PLO6, 888poker is running a range of time-limited promotions, adding extra rewards to attract players to the new tables. Here’s a breakdown of the available promos:

  1. Weekly $2,000 Freeroll Tournaments:
    For the next five weeks, players who complete 150 hands of PLO5 or PLO6 between Sunday and Saturday will gain access to a $2,000 freeroll, held every Saturday starting November 16.
  2. $10,000 Freeroll on December 21:
    Any player who wins 300 hands or more in the new variants by December 14 will qualify for this $10,000 freeroll. It’s a major incentive for players to get familiar with the fresh formats.
  3. Daily Rakeback Bonus:
    Until December 14, players raking at least $1 in any PLO format (including standard PLO, PLO5, and PLO6) will receive a bonus rakeback prize of up to 100%, determined by a virtual spinner. It’s a unique way to reward loyal PLO enthusiasts.
  4. Live Event Packages Freeroll:
