It seems like the latest ventures of PokerStars – the lottery games and the tournaments that became known as “Spin & Go” are getting more and more recognizable and popular among players of all ages. They bring the excitement that players are looking for in the saturated gambling market.
Spin & Go are so popular because of the twists and the unexpected awards the players may get. Unlike some other games, there is not a prize pool but the award is determined by a generator right few minuted before the beginning of the tournament. The generator can select anything between 2x and 1, 200.
In order to approve of the popularity of the games, the PokerStars representatives hurried up to announce that the number of players who have already participated in a Spin and Go tournament reached more than 7 million. That is believed to be a wonderful result, given the fact that the games were launched ten days ago.
The exact number of the lucky winners, who have successfully stricken the top score, is 787. However, only 20 of them won the impressive jackpot of $30, 000. They relied on their luck and won the jackpot by hitting the 1, 000 multiplier. It might seem easy but the truth is that hitting the 1, 000 is not an easy task. Despite the number of people who have tried their luck, those who hit the maximum of 1, 200 were less than 400.
It looks like the new games will have a greater impact on the future development of PokerStars than the authorities have predicted. According to the latest reports, many players who used to play cash games switched to Spin & Go.
Apart from the demographic factor, another reason for the downfall of the cash games is their level of difficulty, which makes the players substitute them with an easier but enjoyable and even more profitable equivalent.
The latest statistics show that the percentage of players who tried their luck on a cash game has fallen by almost 10% for the first weeks after the launch of Spin and Go.
Some of the passionate players who take part in these games on regular basis shared their fear that despite being profitable and promising, the new games are based purely on luck rather than any special skills.
Plus, there is one more factor that make the games inappropriate – namely the addiction they may bring about. According to experienced players, some changes need to be implemented so the games become both – profitable for the providers and suitable for the professional players.
The tournaments are currently available on the PokerStars website where everyone, willing to participate can get a detailed information about Spin & Go.
