Players taking part in the Royal Quest will find a journey featuring three types of freerolls. Here’s what’s on tap for players:
- Three daily $500 freerolls
- One weekly $5,000 freeroll (running every Sunday)
- One monthly $50,000 freeroll (running once a month)
Players jumping in the action will find some adventures in three “kingdoms.” They can become the kings and queens of these kingdoms by completing challenges and then entering one of these kingdoms.
Participants then have the opportunity to win freeroll tickets. Here’s a look at the details of each kingdom.
