There is no limit to how many people can win. The games continue until the bitcoin wallet is empty.
“Entering the innovative world of Bitcoin and combining it with a TV quality game show allows us to engage the audience in a whole new way,” said Streamin’ Garage founder, Mike Rotman.
Viewers can find the show and can tune in at any time to see how many bitcoins have been generated and given away.
