GGPoker has become the first operator to take the jackpot progressive knockout format beyond France and Spain with the launch of Ocean KO, and the opening Sunday made a strong case for its staying power. All three debut tournaments beat their guarantees. The $100 buy-in drew 5,926 entries for a $545,192 prize pool, and the $1,000 edition built a $657,400 pot from 692 entries.
Every knockout triggers a random multiplier spin of up to 400x, four times the ceiling on Winamax’s Space KO, which makes Ocean KO the most volatile jackpot PKO on the market. Our breakdown covers the full pay table, how the format compares with Space KO and Betclic’s Smash KO, the new “evolution tiers” that mark the biggest bounties at the table, and more.
