MEGA HOUR Schedule Review

According to the schedule available in the room lobby for May 19th, 2026, we see that players are offered 15 tournaments between 12:05 and 00:05 CST. 

There are more than 12 of them, because despite the start being announced every hour, in fact, at some hours two tournaments start.

New tournaments have buy-ins ranging from ¥11 to ¥55 and guaranteed prize pools between ¥15,000 and ¥50,000.

The schedule is divided into parts according to the time of day.

There are three morning tournaments:

These are followed by three afternoon tournaments:

After them, the six evening tournaments begin:

Finally, the action concludes with five night tournaments:

Registration for each of them is available all day long but they appear in the lobby gradually as the previous day’s tournaments conclude.
