A couple of months back I stopped using 8 8 8-poker because I withdrew my bankroll from there and I tried the wheel for a while but I kept winning the same tickets for donkfests and I tried everyday for months. And then later the program wouldn't update itself so I just deleted it. Last week, I reinstalled it and in only about 7 or 8 tries I got 2x 16,50$ tickets in the wheel. I don't know if they boosted the odds or if I am being extremely lucky, but I suggest you guys try it too!
Good luck on the tables mobsters

Congratulations on tickets, It's always nice to hear that members of the BRM forum win free tickets and I wish you all luck to win some good money prizes from them. I still cant fined where is that free wheel on 888poker ? I try on mobile and on desktop version but still cant fined it.
Wow ... great result ... amazing result ... I usually get a ticket to a freeroll 1500 or a free bet of 3 dollars .... but a couple of days ago I received a ticket to a qualifying tournament .... a target tournament of 1,000,000 dollars .. .and passed this selection .... Sunday I will try to win money

Well, I´m used to winning nothing in the wheel. Despite I erase and reinstall the poker client for bad functioning, I keep winning nothing for a long while. A week ago, I started to win some $1500 Lucky freeroll´s tickets and it seems marvelous! pajanick my friend, you can trip to Malta with the $ 250 of the satellite´s prize?

Not bad winning these tickets. Good value ones with that amount. They can turn up a good pay out. I see that maragatero that tried your "trick" didnt have the same luck winning these tickets. From their value, it seems they must be rare winning them, so you got lucky indeed. Good luck with them.

Yes i think it is because your luck and not some odds changes, but also it is important to see you always try and i think it is when you take many try you have goid chance to sometime win better prize. Good luck to all forum people in wheel

Massive congratulations must go out to our fellow forumite TheMachineQC on winning not just one, but two $16.50 tickets! That's incredible! Life is full of unexpected and certainly unwanted twists and turns, isn't it? Good luck with your game.

I do not think the fact that I deleted and reinstalled had any effect on the RNG of the wheel. I was only telling that story because I kinda lost patience with the wheel because the prizes were always the same crap so when the program had issues I didn't bother reinstalling it ^^ I guess the odds of hitting a 16,50$ ticket must be really really small (probably less than 1%), so don't get your hopes too high.
Like Gerimantas said, if you wanna boost your odds of winning something decent all you have to do is try everyday.

No installation or software update should be affecting the overall RNG, so I don't think it played a part either.

It’s really is a random old thing the spinning wheel. I won a few 16.50and 5.50 tickets a month or so ago, but since them I have won virtually nothing , except for a few donk fest tickets which I ensure I at least register for cos you end up getting at least the lowest pay out for not even playing so your chances when you do play are improved. It’s something for nothing guys!

A good outcome for you so far from a free promotion. Not a bad win the total you have got so far. And the loss in slots, you can say it was one that you should expect Not easy to win there, with that starting capital. It happens but its very difficult Congratulations.

I won 0.10 cents tickets, $500 first depositorsfree tournaments and rarely $ 2.50 for sport bets, casino or poker. I'm waiting for a $ 215 ticket but only in my heat because in reality is too hard.

Since my last post in this thread nothing has changed really! I guess I have won a few more donk fest tickets but noting substantial, despite playing daily at the site. Oh well, it’s something for nothing and at least the donk fest tickets bring something along most of the time. Keep spinning and hoping to win something nice!

There must be having a specific number that they are giving away of each prize, and not being totally random as a promotion, which i believe it seems logical, So after some time, your chances of winning a prize may be getting less and less. Just an assumption here

Well hi Damo.
I have never won anything on there except those 1500$ donkfest tickets, and I have not won one of them for a couple of weeks, but I guess if you don't expect to win them, then you are not disappointed.
once I had won exactly the same ticket ... of course the tournament is interesting and cash .... but the sad thing is that there can be five rebuys .... Each for 16 1/2 dollars ... for me it is a bit too much. ... so I played with one entrance ... played a bit adventurous which led to a logical result ... without a win
but only in my heat because in reality is too hard.
