Start earning your Gold Cards today and you’ll be closer to earning the rewards that you deserve, including our $52,000 grand prize jackpot: How do I win a 2009 Series Gold Card?You can win Gold Cards by playing at any of our real money Ring Games. Gold Cards are chosen via our Random Number Generator (RNG) when a certain amount of rake is collected. (the higher the limits you’re playing, the quicker this amount will be reached). When the appropriate amount of rake is collected at your table a Gold Card will be randomly selected from the Vault and displayed at your table at the end of the hand:  If the displayed Gold Card matches one of your hole cards you win that Gold Card! You can still win even if you folded your cards during the hand! Now there’s no guarantee that the selected Gold Card will match any players 'hole cards'. If there is no match then another Gold Card is randomly chosen each subsequent hand until a match is found. This may take several hands and may even coincide with the selection of the next Gold Card if enough rake has been collected. Therefore the same player may be awarded of 2 or more Gold Cards in a row. You can earn multiples of a single type of card (the quantity of each card type are displayed in numbers on the bottom right corner of your Gold Card) Are my Series 1, 2 and 3 Gold Cards expired?No, you will still be able to use your Series 1, 2 and 3 Gold Cards towards several great promotions including our Gold Card Daily Lotteries.
