Micromillions Dominates July MTT Scene: PokerStars Sees Traffic Boost

The Micromillions series, previously held quarterly, became an annual event in 2015. PokerStars decided to make the Micromillions series annual to boost interest after noticing a significant drop in participation between 2014 and 2015. Despite a slight reduction in buy-ins, the overall prize pool and rake for Micromillions remained stable, with an increase in unique players and entries.
