Mini major prize at PartyPoker

Cash or cars, either way PartyPoker players come out winners during "The Grind."

By Sarah Polson

Austin Powers helped make the Mini "shagadelic" and The Italian Job helped make it cool, and now you too can own your very own Mini Cooper for free at PartyPoker.

The poker site is hosting "The Grind" starting Monday and running through Sept. 9, during which time the site will feature $100,000 worth of "Grindrolls."

To qualify for Grindrolls, users must earn at least 25 PartyPoints per day over a three-day period. Once they do that, they'll qualify for the $2,000 Grindroll. The more PartyPoints a player earns in a day, the bigger the Grindroll they will qualify for.

A player who earns 300 PartyPoints per day over a five-day period will not only be entered into the $20,000 Grindroll, but will also be able to play in all the other Grindrolls.

Any player who manages to grind for five days in each of the two weeks of the promotion will automatically be entered into a drawing to win a Mini S Convertible. PartyPoker is also offering up 80 Nintendo Wiis and 120 80GB video iPods.

"It's quite simple," said a PartyPoker spokesman. "The more you grind, the more we can pay. All you have to do is play. For this promotion, reload offers have also changed and become Grindloads."

Anyone who logs into PartyPoker during the promotion can register and take part in "The Grind."

PartyPoker has many other promotions and specials to offer as well, including winning your way onto the PartyPoker.com Million VI Cruise.

For as little as $1, poker players can win their way up through the qualifying ranks to try to win a $12,000 prize package to head out on the cruise.

The prize package includes:

• $8,200 buy-in for the No-limit Texas Hold'em main event
• $2,700 for accommodation and the cruise
• $1,100 spending money
