Blowout Packages are worth $1,904each and contain four Blowout Series tickets. This means four shots to play in $5,000,000 GTD tournaments every Sunday, starting on December 27.
There are 1,000 Blowout Packages up for grabs and these can be snatched by landing on special Chests, or via Welcome and Final Freerolls.
Here's how to play:
- Opt-in to The Blowout Challenge via your Challenges Window.
- Play real money games and win Stars Rewards Chests containing dice rolls.
- Roll the dice to move that number of spaces. Land on Chests around the board to earn prizes of up to $5K. Land on arrows and you'll either fast-track your way to the finish or move back on the board.
- Land on theBlowout Chests in the middle of the board and win up to $10K in prizes – plus a chance to win a Blowout Package.
And that's not the only way to win a Blowout Package. Check out our Blowout Freerolls below.
Moving through the city
After you've opted-in via your Challenges Window, you'll see that the city is mapped out across a board with squares featuring numbers and letters. Your objective is to get to the party in the middle by earning dice rolls which you'll find in Chests.
As you move along, you'll come across arrows that could either advance you to the final party (and rewards) or divert you in a different direction. Don't worry if the arrows take you in the ‘wrong' direction – you could grab even more instant rewards by taking the long way around.
Celebrate on the go
The party spirit isn't confined to the centre. You'll find Chests scattered across various squares (numbers: 4, 6, 11, 15, 18, 22 and 26, and letters: B, G and O) containing prizes of up to $5,000.
To complete the board, reach square 28 or square R (the last number and letter on the board). There's no need to land exactly on these squares – if you roll beyond 28/R, you'll still get to the end and claim the same final reward of up to $10,000.
Blowout Freerolls
Welcome and Final Freerolls will also be awarding Blowout Packages. There's 10 to be won in each.
The Welcome Freeroll is open to players who opt-in to this promotion on Day 1 (December 7) and will take place on December 8. Registration will only be open for a few hours, so you'll need to act fast.

What is the promotion?
The Blowout is a promotion which can be found in your Challenges Window.
When you opt-in, you will see The Blowout board, broken down into 28 ‘number' squares and 18 ‘letter' squares: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R, plus 10 Board Chests, 4 Blowout Chests, and 13 arrows.
Every time you complete a progress bar by playing real money games, you will receive a four-sided dice in your Stars Rewards Chest. Your marker will move the number of squares displayed on the dice.
The arrows on the board allow you to move different directions. If you land exactly on a square that shows an image of the bottom of an arrow, then you will move all the way to the square at the top of the arrow. For example, if you land on square 3, you will move to square A, square C to square 5, square F to square 10, square 12 to square H, square J to square 17, square 19 to square L, square M to square 20, square N to square 24, square 28 to square R.

For example, if you are on the square Q and you get a dice with 4, you will move to R and complete the board.
