Now the deal jackpot is up to a little more than 400K. I am very surprise to see this amount because since it is offer by both Stars and Full tilt it was won almost every day.
I don't want to say that the think is rigged but let say that Stars is collecting the rake very fast since there are many peoples playing it.
Yesterday i have seen one try on the wheel and the guy won 1,000 and the jackpot at the time was around 380K.
1,000 $ is a very nice prize but beside the jackpot it should be very sorry.
This is the biggest jackpot in the Deals history if I am not mistaken of course was a lot better on Full Tilt with all of the coin free rolls when the Jackpot gets this high most people will be trying the high roller deal where a straight flush gets you to the bonus round good luck.
Yeah I almost opened a post about this yesterday. I find it strange too that the jackpot is suddently not being won a lot.
I think it was a strategy by a Amaya. Companies do that a lot. They lure you in with a good promotion but it doesn't last, kinda like cable companies with their 1 year deals for half the price... They made us think in the first few weeks that winning the jackpot was easy and now suddently once you hit the wheel hitting the jackpot can still be less than a 1% chance.
I hope I'm wrong but Amaya never stops being greedy.
I think this game is done with one purpose - to rob players of their prize-winning stars .. winnings certainly occur but only a few get profit from it ... and I again I am surrendering to nostalgia about Fulltilt ... he was a good room ... was. ..

Thats is a very big amount.
There is a chance that most of the players used all their tries when it was first released. Keep seeing that it was getting hit, time after time, they probably took their chances then
Place your bets, if it is gonna reach half a million
I am not sure the software updates are responsible for slowing down the pace of the game to be honest... The fact that the holiday season ended a couple weeks ago hence the overall traffic took a bit downturn as well as the people who are interested playing this game probably cannot keep up the pace with collecting the required amount of starcoins to play comfortably for hours with this...

The deal jackpot is still going up...Maybe they want to set up at 1mil$ mark But dont know how they will do that they dont have space for one more figure they will need to make update Here is the coll picture from jackpot
Posted by IceQueenAce: I cant find the deal on stars/full tilt, both on laptop and mobile.
Did they move it?
On PS - if you have your software opened on your laptop - you just need to click the Deal's Jackpot Counter at the upper right corner in order to play. It's working for me without problems...

I had this problem a few weeks ago. Had to uninstall and reinstall.
Make sure you keep your user.ini and notes.xml and replace after re-installing (though you may want to double check with support for any other custom files).

Yea finally some fag hits jackpot so I got nice price 5,30$ for someones else luck. Enjoy your 250 000$ jackpot buy some nice car, house and some prostitutes. At least I would do that. Actually I would travel the world and go fck some mullatos, latinas, and thai girls. Especially in Thailand I want to highlight the word GIRLS.
Posted by damosk: So! According to support at pokerstars, The Deal is suspended in United Knigdom due to some compliance issues. They intend to relaunch it but this won't be for some months! So us unlucky UK people cannot play the deal and so we save our stars for other things or build them to use them once the deal returns. But cannot be part of the the deal bonanza at the moment!

Yes that huge jackpot was won yesterday and it gave 5,30$ to everybody who played it in the last 12 hours so it was pretty ev+ for the ones who did. Especially for the guy who got almost 300 000$ out of 7 star coins
Unfortunately I didn't get it because I forgot to play it when I woke up on that day... After playing it once every 12 hours for a week. So I just wasted like 50 star coins lol
