Not sure when Empire brought these back but they are advertising them as new on their website. They have 5 a day. at Midnight EST, 3 am EST, 5 am EST, 3 pm EST and 5 pm EST.
They are different from their previous freerolls. They do not have a cap of 500 people on them like the ones from a year ago and do not require a certain amount of hands to be played to participate. Payouts depend on which tourny you play in. They are all Turbo tournys The turbo tournys have a pot of 200 and reg. tournys have a pot of $500.
Not really for gaining any experience whatsoever as orginally thought but fun to play. Only last like 2 hours. Great if you need a break from the daily grind but don't let it affect your overall gameplay.
