If you need a couple of bucks in your account to play, you might actually be in luck. Whether you are new to the room or not, everyone gets a 100% deposit bonus of up to $500 if you make the deposit between Noon EST on Tuesday, March 14th and Noon EST on Tuesday, March 21st.

Party Poker Millions V
March is the month when Party Poker holds their legendary Party Poker Million Tournament. contestants have been qualifying for this exclusive event for the last several months, and the time is at hand to set sail.
The tournament takes place aboard a cruise ship that makes its way through the caribbean sea, stopping at Ocho Rios Jamaica and Geore Town in the Caymans. The estimated prize pool for the tournament is $5,000,000.
Of course poker is not the only game aboard the ship, with a blackjack and slots tournament scheduled as well.
World Poker Tour in Reno
