In a PKO tournament, each player starts with a bounty on their head, just like in a Regular KO. However, when you eliminate an opponent, you don’t keep the entire bounty. Instead, part of it goes straight to your pocket, and the other part is added to your own bounty, making you a more valuable target for the rest of the field.
This dynamic ensures that the deeper you go, the more thrilling and strategic the action becomes. Players who consistently knock out opponents accumulate bigger and bigger bounties, turning into prime targets themselves.
How It Works Step by Step
-
Buy-In Split
-
Half of your buy-in goes into the main prize pool.
-
The other half goes into the progressive bounty pool.
-
-
Eliminating Opponents
-
When you bust a player, you immediately collect 50% of their bounty as an instant reward.
-
The remaining 50% of their bounty is added to your head prize, increasing your own bounty value.
-
-
The Deeper You Go, The Bigger It Gets
-
As the tournament progresses, players who score many eliminations carry massive bounties.
-
This creates a fascinating mix of risk and reward — opponents are eager to knock you out, but winning another showdown boosts both your chips and your bounty.
-
Why Players Love Progressive KOs
-
Escalating Action: The deeper you go, the higher the stakes.
-
Big Rewards for Hunters: Consistent eliminators can build huge side earnings.
-
Strategic Balance: Sometimes it’s worth risking chips to bust a big bounty.
-
Spectacle Factor: Audiences love to watch players chase the “big targets” at the tables.
