Hell Club debuting Oh Hell Stackpot

Wednesday, 18 April 2018

Fans of the Oh Hell trick-taking game will soon be able to enjoy real-money competitions online after Hell Club announced that it will be launching its new Oh Hell Stackpot innovation from Sunday.

Curacao-licensed Hell Club described Oh Hell as a card game where players attempt to guess how many tricks they can take via any given hand before subsequently attempting to fulfill this prediction. The online card room declared that the number of tricks changes in each cycle according to a pattern with every game usually played to a predetermined number of rounds.

“The Stackpot concept is an original Hell Club invention and when applied to round-based games without a set number of winners the wagered money that isn’t won stacks up in a pot on the table,” read a statement from Hell Club. “It is later used to increase the value of winnings for subsequent wagers.”

Hell Club stated that its own Hellcoins crypto-currency is utilized during games of Oh Hell Stackpot and players enter competitions by staking an amount equal to the number of tricks they intend to take.

“If they take the number of tricks bid, they will win back their ante plus additional Hellcoins per trick bid on,” read the statement from Hell Club.“The larger the table pot, the greater the number of Hellcoins won per trick.”

Hell Club explained that each Hellcoin is equal to €1 ($1.23) for Oh Hell Stackpot cash games while players are required to stake a pre-determined buy-in for its sit-and-go competitions.

“For multi-table tournaments, the Burning Pot format is used,” read the statement from Hell Club. “This is another Hell Club innovation and means that instead of limiting tournament length by slowly increasing table stakes like in poker, the table pot burns away a number of Hellcoins with each hand slowly decreasing the total amount of Hellcoins in the tournament.”

To mark its launch of Oh Hell Stackpot, Hell Club proclaimed that it will be holding a special freeroll competition on Sunday from 1pm New York time featuring a €1,000 ($1,237) prize pool. There will also be HellTickets worth €22 ($27.22) awarded to the top-performing 20 competitors that can be utilized to enter the site’s first real-money Oh Hell Stackpot tournament some two hours later.

“Hell Club is thrilled to be launching its latest online card game innovation, Oh Hell Stackpot,” said Simon Ry from Hell Club. “We believe that this game has the potential to be the next big thing after poker if it finds the right target group. In Oh Hell there is no such thing as a bad hand. Regardless of your cards, you can still make plays so long as you can predict the behavior of your opponents. The game is played worldwide and usually for fun.

“Most other gambling games don't make much sense if you take away the money as they're often boring or even pointless. Introducing a betting aspect to a game that is fun to play without money will hopefully only enhance the experience and players can opt to compete for fun or for cash. We believe that both formats will be hugely popular and look forward to receiving feedback from players.”
