As usual, the festival offers a lot of value to players, giving them the opportunity to turn their tiny investments into huge winnings. For instance, one of the events on the schedule, Event #03 – High Jump R&A costs just $1.00 to enter but awards $2,000 in guarantees.
Players may also take a shot at two “Made to Amaze” games where they only need to spend $5 for a chance to win a share of $10,000 in guaranteed prizes.

Almost $85,000 will be up for grabs on the opening day alone during which six events will take place, including the Opening Ceremony, Sailing, as well as three unnumbered games (Triple Threat and Made to Amaze). The majority of the poker games have guarantees ranging from $10,000 to $30,000, meaning players can find a big-value event that fits their bankroll.
