This promo it s something like spin and go from pokerstars... just with 4 players. I observed that the multiplier its a little higher so its worth a shot

I won a $5 Casino Play on the new Blast Spin wheel yesterday and got it today. I played blackjack until I "won" the $5 maximum (all of 2 hands) and then I took that to the Big Lebowski slot game. I played that $5 for over 5 hours, just 25 cents a spin.I got as high as $18 and as low as $1.07 and I finally called it a night with $9.91 left.
I actually earned nearly 1500 points, enough to move up another level and almost through the next one too.
It was nice to try something other than poker for a bit of fun.

Those Blast tournaments have horrible rake. Don't play them, almost certainly unbeatable.

Has anyone here hit more than a 10x yet? I noticed when I hit $1 on the $0.10 game that they give you 8 minutes instead of 6 minutes before the flip starts. I'm wondering if the time goes up the bigger the multiplier.

It would make sense, if you are playing for $10k or $50k would you really only want 6 minutes of play before letting pure luck decide the outcome?

These games are tough when playing $0.10, especially when the prize is $0.20. It seems there are 1 or 2 all in players every game. When the spin comes up $0.50 it gets a lot easier with 2 spots paid. Most of the time someone goes out in the first 3 hands and you are playing the bubble early.

I played 102 of these games over the last 3 days just because I was bored and they are so cheap.

August 1 - 35 $0.10 games. $3.50 total entry fee, $4.20 total winnings.
$0.20 prize pool, 25x. 1st place 7x ($0.20 = $1.40)
$0.50 prize pool, 9x. 1st place 5x ($0.35 = $1.75), 2nd place 3x ($0.15 = $0.45)
$1.00 prize pool, 1x. 1st place 1x ($0.60)

August 2nd - 24 $0.10 games $2.40 total entry fee, total winnings $2.70
$0.20 prize pool, 14x. 1st place 3x ($0.20 = $0.60)
$0.50 prize pool, 9x. 1st place 3x ($0.35 = $1.05), 2nd place 3x ($0.15 = $0.45)
$1.00 prize pool, 1x. 1st place 1x ($0.60)


August 3rd - 43 $0.10 games $4.30 total entry fee, total winnings $4.50
$0.20 prize pool, 30x. 1st place 9x ($0.20 = $1.80)
$0.50 prize pool, 13x. 1st place 6x ($0.35 = $2.10), 2nd place 4x ($0.15 = $0.60)

Over 102 games I got the $0.20 prize pool 69x, the $0.50 prize pool 31x and the $1.00 prize pool just 2x.

It was a lot of work for $1.20 in total winnings, it basically came down to winning the 2 $1 games.

I played a lot of $0.10 and I don't know if I'm up.

I won a $1.00 ticket and got a 5x multiplier and I won $3.50. :D

I won a $30.00 ticket and got a 2x multiplier and I lost during the overtime allin phase. :(

I've played a few and agree with the posters above. Rake is way to much to make cash. 6 minutes doesn't conclude game often and a coin flip is pointless.

I played a lot of those games and just recently I got a couple of 10X multipliers.

I'm still waiting for those big top 3 multipliers to show up. :rolleyes:

It could be a long wait. With those odds the easiest of the top 3 is 1 in 2500 games.

The odds do seem accurate though, I got my 3rd 10x in my 105th game.
