No, not that we know of.

I've always thought that there's not enough variance in hyper SnGs already........

this is what i see

The prize pool can be x1200, but on the top 3 tiers, 2nd and 3rd get 10%.

From the PokerStars website:

* You will not leave the table empty-handed if your Spin & Go randomly draws one of the three highest prize tiers but you do not win the tourney. In addition to the first-place prize, the second and third-place finishers will also receive 10% of the first-place prize.

First place gets 1000x buyin while second and third get 100x each, total of 1200x buyins.

Need to be self excluded from these before the GAMBLOR comes out!

thank you all for makeing that clear to me, that early in morning my head is not working

Do you guys think that playing these would be +EV considering that the vast majority of SNGs would net less then the standard equivalent but on the other hand some have the chance of getting much higher payout? Also, from what you have seen so far are there a lot of fish especially at lower buyins?

Would playing $1 or $3 be more +EV due to more fish or would a minimum of $7 be better considering payout chance structure and less rake?

The mind boggles...

Apart from the rake all the money is put back into the games. So it´s just your normal ROI with raceback and retarded variance.

Fish will love it though

'It's time to brag guys, how much have you won so far in Spin & Go's? Do you like the format? Let us know here.'

I just now played a $1 game to try it and won $2.

Was disappointed to see the spin end on 2x.. oh well.

It only lets you play 5 at a time?, but I would struggle with more than 2 HU at a time anyway.

I think it will appeal more to recreational players and gambling types, so they should be fairly profitable.

So far my ROI on them is 100% - hope to improve on that.

I've played only a few of them (I mean Stars / FTP, not iPoker ones), so there's no wonder I haven't shipped anything bigger than $180 (6x BI) at once at Rational Services sites. My biggest prize in a single given Twister is slightly bigger - €200 (20x BI). I've lost a €2K one, though, AQo<KTo, as I've already written somewhere.

everyone gived big prize this tournament ? please answer me and or can give me screen photo thanks

Does anybody know if they are going to launch higher buyins?

Agree to a certain degree, it will blow over after the initial buzz. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.

Not difficult to guess where they are heading with this. Next step introduction of casino games. Roulette, blackjack, slots anyone. Watch this space.
