Anyone knows what happened to Jackpot? Yesterday, when I last played 12 hrs before it was in the region of 160K, and now it is suddenly over 260K [emoji15]
Did PS make some sort of holiday season start addition or am I having vision problems? [emoji4]

How is it that you find out if you have won a % of the deal jackpot? coz I'm never of that thing. I was getting sick of it but Friday I won $30 with 4 of a kind..JJJJ. played the PKO $30 18-90 and won it. Turned my $30 into $411. I already had $112 in my account. Happy daysss!!.

I agree that you shouldn't generally play that shit, but when the jackpot is above $150k or something, then I usually start playing it just enough to get a share of the jackpot once it hits. I cashed in $4 while only having played it a few times. To me that is profit, albeit a small profit.

Right. You just have to play it with the goal of spending less than the share that you get from someone else hitting the jackpot, not with the goal of actually hitting the jackpot yourself (which has a probability of virtually zero for any individual, but eventually approaches a probability of one for the entire player pool).

I still cannot really understand people saying you'd better spend starcoins playing satelites.
Ofcourse you can use them for that too but spending 7 coins each 12 hrs guarantees a few dollars as soon as the jackpot hits.
Now a few dollars ain't much but considering a coin is basically worth 1 cent, even spending 100 coins (equal to 1 dollar) in the deal will net a nice profit when the jackpot hits.
Put it this way, spending coins on satelites guarantees you nothing.
Still, if you have enough of them it's worth giving it a shot.
Having the discipline to spend 7 coins every 12 hrs guarantees a few dollars profit which you can spend any way you prefer.
Besides from that, quite some times you'll win some coins back when hitting combinations upto 3 of a kind, so the investment in coins in total isn't that huge.
When really lucky you might even win some cash.
Now, I won't say not to use coins for other purposes, but you're a thief of your own not spending some to play the deal every 12 hrs.
Right now the jackpot is close to 180K....it won't take ages before it hits, so I'll advise any member who has enough coins to play to do so, as said, 1 time every 12 hrs.
You won't be disappointed as it'll reward a free few dollars.

In the upper right corner of the pokerstars main lobby there's "The Deal" button, so click there and a screen opens where you can play it.

Unfortunately I believe indeed for some countries it is not available.
To be sure I'd advise you to ask Pokerstars support.
