Sorry I misread the prizes.

I think you're right Mootso; they did not change. I have to convert the current system to the old.

They did change the payouts when FT became a PS skin initially, at least for getting one pair.

On (old) FTP it used to be 20% of one coin for a pair.

Now it's only 1 coin back for a pair, but it costs 7 to play (14%).

I don't remember the rest.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think we don't have those coins freerolls we had on the old Full Tilt right?

I don't think so.

Unlike in PS where you can view the lobby in tab format, FTP has only the drop down view mode, so it's hard for me to find anything.

There is a $500 Deal freeroll on Dec 31.

Deal

Not sure why anyone would play that.

Hopefully they put the Deal on PS and get rid of FTP soon. There's no point to playing on there anymore.

I'd rather see Full Tilt putting some exclusive tourneys/series not accessible by Stars.

But as it stands right now; I think The Deal is the only exclusivity on Full Tilt.

If they wanted to kill the brand; then why go to all that migration trouble in the first place?

the only difference is coin freerolls are not available anymore, that was a fast easy way to collect coins.

how often does the jackpot get won? what sort of amount has it usually been by the time it gets won? has anyone ever gotten remotely close to hitting a royal?

i've been messing about with it for a few days now, it seems most hands are designed to give you ace high at best, is it really worth playing it at all?

That is one of the major reason that the Jackpot has not been won since the merge. We used to get the equivalent of about 12000 Starcoins per day with those coin freerolls.

I hope they bring them back but with Amaya our chances are slim to none. :(

As I am writing this The Deal Jackpot is close to 325K. On the old Full Tilt is was won several times around 100K.

I've only seen 1 player spin the jackpot wheel since the merge. This is very strange.

It must be variance again... :D

On the old FTP, coins were pretty much useless except for The Deal. But now you can convert coins directly to cash, so maybe less people are playing The Deal?

Anyways, I hate playing it since a pair now only gives you 1 coin when you have to spend 7 to play. It's basically throwing money away.

Yeah you got a point there.

I'm only playing 2 times a day until I run out of Starcoins. After that I'm done with Full Tilt and pokerstars until they bring us a promo worth playing.

Sad to say but Amaya is running Full Tilt and Stars into the ground.

Was really happy I won something other than 1 coin until I saw the 7 in the corner :mad:

Lucky in a way but unlucky on the other.

Four of a kind would have been $40.

Somebody had better hit the Jackpot soon or I'll run out of coins.

This Jackpot is overdue. It was never won since the merge. Could they have made an "error" in programming the new Deal?

Have you seen anyone spinning the wheel lately?

Wow; I usually play 2 times a day and somehow the Jackpot was won in the gap when I'm not a participant. :( :( :(

I don't know who won. How much did each participating players received?

Man alive; I just missed on $165.96 by not participating often enough. :( :eek:

I found this article:

Full Tilt's 'The Deal' jackpot won 7 September 2016

(PRESS RELEASE) -- The Full Tilt Deal's sixth ever jackpot was won 7 September by 'Ronal7do', from Russia. The total jackpot was $384,040.92, of which 50% went to the winner ($192,024.46) – a huge result that far surpasses any previous payout.

The other 50% was shared equally between those who played The Deal in the previous 12 hours – 1,157 players each received $165.96

What site is this one on ???

Full Tilt, non USA only.

I usually forget to play, but luckily I played before I went to bed and I got the $165.

Looks like Ronal7do was just a micro-stakes player, who didn't play that often :eek: He probably didn't even have that many coins.

$165 is nice, but I wish I had played more since I have a ton of coins. Although I do the coin cash conversion a lot.

Split between 1,157 players??? I thought there would be tens of thousands of people playing every day.

Congrats Mootso.

As for me, with no big jackpot, Full Tilt is now a dead horse.

The Jackpot will be very slow to build up and it ain't worth paying good coins for so little.

R.I.P Full Tilt.

Finally!!!! I can un-install Full Tilt.

We are writing to inform you that The Deal jackpot game on Full Tilt will be stopped on December 19th. The Deal will be re-launched on December 21st but this time will be available to both Full Tilt and PokerStars players.

The final jackpot amount from The Deal on Full Tilt will be carried over to a special All-in Shootout tournament and redistributed to players who participated in The Deal since the last time the jackpot was hit. If you are one of the registered players, you will receive email confirmation by December 24th.

The Deal Jackpot All-in Shootout will take place on Sunday, December 25th. Please keep in mind that all players will be registered to this tournament automatically and will be put all-in every hand until there is a winner. You do not have to be logged into the client to take part.

In the new version of The Deal, the Deal Freeroll tickets will be replaced with StarsCoin prizes. For players on FullTilt who have tickets for the freerolls, we will continue to run the daily freerolls until January 18th to give all players a chance to utilize their tickets. We expect that the number of entrants in each freeroll to decrease, providing more value to players every day!

Thanks for sharing the info. The Jackpot was the feature holding Full Tilt.

Now Full Tilt is just a step away from being shut down.
