Americas Cardroom to let users get high

It’s time to get high on Americas Cardroom (ACR), the online poker platform. It’s not the kind of high you’re thinking of, though. The portal has announced a new tournament series called the High Five tournament that will take place every day between October 31 and November 4.

The series was first introduced this past June. According to a report by Gambling911, it is making a comeback, scheduled to coincide with Halloween. While the tournaments won’t be handing out free marijuana to the winners, they are definitely designed to be built around the drug.

Combining Halloween and marijuana was an easy target for creating tongue-in-cheek promotions. For example, according to the announcement, “Instead of candy, we’re handing out the green.” There is also a tournament that carries the theme, “Trick or treat. It’s munchies time.” If that weren’t twisted enough, there is also the “Stock up on munchies. Smoke the tables” tournament.

There will be one tournament each day and they will offer a combined guarantee of $1.5 million. The Main Event is scheduled to kick off on November 4 at 1 PM US Eastern Time and offers a guarantee of $420,000. Each tournament will have a courtesy break appropriately scheduled to be held at 4:20.
