10 years of Expresso: make it rain diamonds!
Unlike "durrr", "Ziigmund" or "Isildur1", the username "sassa" is not that of a poker legend. And yet it is an integral part of the great history of our favourite game. On 11th July 2013, it was this username that won the very first Expresso. A tiny x2 jackpot on a €1 table that was probably quickly forgotten by the player concerned... but it did mark the start of a worldwide revolution.
A unique success in the poker landscape, Winamax's random jackpot turbo Sit&Go quickly attracted hundreds of thousands of fans. Less than a year after its creation on Winamax, it was being adopted by every online poker site in the world. Ten years on, it continues to change the lives of those lucky enough to land the most sought-after jackpot: the €1 million (or even €2 million!).
In order to celebrate 10 years of Expresso, Winamax is giving out 601 Diamonds to our players, coming to your tables from 11th July at the rate of one diamond for every 3 million Expresso. These diamonds will multiply the winnings of all players at the table!

How does it work?
Diamonds are "bling-bling" Expresso that multiply your winnings up to x5,000. The more Expresso you play between two Diamonds, the higher your win multiplier.
All players who land on a Diamond table are rewarded.
Your aim will be to boost your multiplier and then launch an Expresso at the right moment to land on a Diamond!
A counter shows the progress of the promotion and counts down the number of Expresso before entering the Diamond Expresso draw phase. This phase is indicated by the display of the message "Diamond imminent" instead of the countdown.
The Diamond Expresso will be drawn during this "Diamond imminent" phase.
This phase lasts for 1,001 Expresso and straddles all Expresso in multiples of 5,000 between xxx,000,000th and xxx,000,000th Expresso.
Example: A "Diamond 10k" will be drawn between Expresso XXX,019,500 and xxx,020,500.

Expresso are counted per buy-in. If you play €2 Expresso, they will not count towards your multiplier if you land on a Diamond when starting a €10 Expresso.
Your multiplier for each buy-in is displayed in the Expresso lobby.
Winnings for of 2nd and 3rd places
The Diamond also rewards the unfortunate 2nd and 3rd.
- Diamond 5k: Winnings 2nd and 3rd = (1st place prize money x multiplier) /3
- Diamond 10k: Winnings 2nd and 3rd = (1st place prize money x multiplier) /3
- Diamond 100k: Winnings 2nd and 3rd = (1st place prize money x multiplier) /5
- Diamond million: Winnings 2nd and 3rd = (1st place prize money x multiplier) /10
- Diamond 10 years: Winnings 2nd and 3rd = (1st place prize money x multiplier) /10
In the case of large jackpots (50x and more), you will also win the prize for 2nd or 3rd.
Example:
You have played 15 €10 Expresso since the last Diamond. You land on a 100k Diamond by playing a €10 Expresso, so you have a x100 multiplier. The prize is €50.
If you win, you win: €50 x 100 = €5,000.
If you finish 2nd or 3rd, you win: $$\frac{50\: €\: x\: 100}{5} = 1000\: €$$
