BLAST removes the all-in timer feature

You will no longer be playing against the clock in BLAST Jackpot games at 888poker, bringing them in line with other Lottery SNGs.

The 888poker version of the Lottery SNG, BLAST, has had a makeover. Listening to player feedback a big change has been made to the format.  

That is the removal of the timer and all-in feature. Previously each game would have a time limit which, when it was reached, would then see all the remaining players forced all-in. This brought in an element of playing fast or stalling, depending on your position in the game. 

BLAST now plays out like a regular Lottery SNG and will play down to a winner in the normal manner, no matter how long the game lasts.

This change essentially brings BLAST in line with the other popular Lottery SNG formats like Spin & Go from PokerStars, HexaPro from Unibet and SPINS from partypoker. The other unique selling point of BLAST previously was that it was four handed, but that changed in 2019 when it was made three handed, as per the industry standard. 

The highest possible multiplier in BLAST games is $1 million, which can be won in both the $1 games and the $100 games.
