Megabux (BBP) Challenge

I found out today that Bugsys Club started a new sit & go promotion called Megabux. To test it out they began with a BBP(Bugsy Bonus Points - much like frequent player points) version.

Basically, if you place in 20 or more s&g satellites to the Megabux Final, then you are entitled, if you win the final, to 100% of a Bonus Jackpot derived from all the Megabux s&gs people played during the week. Win less than 20 s&gs and the share of the Jackpot you would be entitled to if you win the final drops according to a scale. This means that potentially part or all of the Jackpot could rollover to the next final.

When I looked at the leaderboard I discovered that one player was already on 8 wins, blitz240. Hence, I set myself a challenge to reach 20 wins before any other player. With such a big handicap, I wasn't sure if I could do it - but I felt fairly confident especially since the whole of January I have been playing mostly s&gs in order to win the Smash & Grab League.

As this was a BBP promotion, I came across a lot of players who I'd never played before: the two that stood out where blitz240 and krookedkreek.

In order to close the 8 game lead held by blitz2004 and reach 20 wins in the fastest possible time, multitabling was required. The above screenshot shows me playing 6 s&gs at the same time. By then, I had already gained the lead with 18 wins to blitz240's 14 wins. The next two wins swiftly followed and I had completed the challenge!

The first BBP Megabux Final is this Sunday at 10pm UK time. Look out for an update.
