The "Grand Prix" at 888 poker

[lauestla]

On 888 Poker there is a kind of jackpot you can win when playing cash games.
In fact there is a poker cards list at the top of the screen when you are playing.
The goal is to be dealt the 16 cards of the list in 45 CONSECUTIVE hands at the same table. If you leave the table you lose the cards you have already collected.
There is an amount of $100 jackpot mentioned... just near the list.
Once I managed to collect the 16 cards and you know what? A roulette wheel like in casino started to turn and stopped on a $1 amount , that is all I have won. 😱
Did one of you manage to win the real amount mentioned ?

Hi @lauestla

The game you are referring to on 888poker is called Card Strike

The amount of cards needed to complete the task varies beetween NLH and PLO cash games.

Also the amount you can win from the jackpots are different at each stake level.

I haven't even managed to complete it once yet and I've played alot of hands since it was released.

Basically a poor replacement for the hand of the day promotion and pays out less looks like.

I've only seen yourself and 1 other mention completing it on the forum they got 3c playing 1c 2c when completed it

On my version of the 888 Poker software it's called Grand Prix but yes it seems to be the same thing.
It's just made to stick you at the table ☹️

Seems that you are lucky to have received $1 if you play NL2 or NL5. I completed it twice playing NL2 and both times I got only 2 cents.

Yep, this isn't a very good promotion.

They are also offering a rakeback deal, but it's based on $50 minimum rake a week. No thanks. I am not playing 888 cash games till there are better promotions as otherwise rake too high and games are no softer than elsewhere

I've never won the maximum prize, most of the times it's the minium prize. I didn't like this promotion, specially because they replace the good "hand of the day" promotion for this bad one.

I can see I am ot the only one to think it's a kind of trap to stick people at the table
