888poker continually requests its customers offer feedback about the online poker site. All comments are taken on board, discussed and acted upon, as is evident by the revamping of the 888poker multi-table tournament schedule. The already busy schedule now features over $500,000 more in guarantees than it did a week ago, and there are more than two dozen new MTTs for 888poker players to get their teeth into.

The vast 888poker player base requested larger guarantees and some fresh additions to the schedule, and 888poker answered those pleas. Twenty-five new events run from 12:00 a.m. through to 11:30 p.m. each day, doing so with buy-ins ranging from $2.20 up to $215. There are more Progressive Knockout (PKO) events in addition to an increased number of turbo-structured tournaments. Check out the new additions in the table below.

The new tournaments are in the lobby right now with the first batch of them taking place on August 15. They are easily identified, for now, as they have "NEW" in their name, meaning you can instantly find them, buy in, and take one down.

PokerNews believe all the new additions will prove popular with 888poker players, but the new Big Shot tournaments are all but guaranteed to be a major hit. At 6:00 p.m., there is a $2.20 buy-in Big Shot with $2,500 guaranteed and a $215 buy-in Big Shot that has a $20,000 guaranteed prize pool. Three hours later, at 9:00 p.m. BST, players can jump into the $16.50 buy-in $3,500 guaranteed Big Shot, with night owls accommodated by the $55 buy-in $3,000 guaranteed Late Big Shot at midnight and the $500 guaranteed $4.40 buy-in Big Shot at 2:00 a.m. BST.
