The Happy Holidays Sale returns to 888poker from December 15-21, offering you the chance to save up to 50% on a raft of 888poker's most popular tournaments. Although the buy-ins of the 19 Holiday Sale tournaments are being slashed, 888poker is feeling generous and is leaving the original guarantees in place!

December 15 marks the start of the first three Holiday Sale tournaments, where players will shuffle up and deal. At 6:00 p.m. GMT, the Holiday Sale Daily Gems Big Shot 215 explodes into action. Usually, as its name suggests, this tournament would set you back $215 to play, but thanks to this limited-time promotion, you can get in on the action for a more affordable $109.

Similarly, the Holiday Sale PKO Rumble 109 starts at 7:00 p.m. GMT on December 15, with a $10,000 guarantee on its prize pool. Thanks to the Holiday Sale promotion, you can enter this tournament for $55!

While there is incredible value throughout the Holiday Sale, that value becomes exceptional on December 21, the final day of the promotion. You have the chance to play in the star-studded Holiday Sale Big Shot 525 for $265, and the Holiday Sale edition of the Mystery Bounty Main Event.

Outside of this promotion, the Mystery Bounty Main Event commands a $109 buy-in. Those who pay that sum fight it out for a share of a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool. On December 21, you can enter this flagship event for only $55. The best part? This tournament regularly overlays when its buy-in is $109, so reaching the $100,000 guarantee with a buy-in of only $55 could be something of a stretch.
