This are great jackpots for any poker player and especially when you see from what buy this player got them!10 K from just 1 $,second 50 K from 5$ and third 150 K from just 15 $!great promotion from 888poker!
well congratulations for the winners! i love the blast games, the spin and go concept is a very neath one, because a lot of poker matches feels way to long. every time the slot turns i feel exited, the only downside is that the wheel keeps hanging on a high value pot , and then in the last second slides down to a low value pot. this is very frustrating .
Congrats for those who were lucky enough to take these down, whenever I play some random prizepool sngs the prizes never seem to reach my ideal floor of potential to consider any of these tournies +EV for me though...

I don't trust in these blast games because with 3 players is ok, but with 4, the chances to making a profit, in this type of game are tiny. All winners was british citizens and 888 is from UK... of course... Is something what attracts me to make again dislike for this poker room. This is not god for me but is good for English players...

I mean beating only three players is easier than beating 300 players, but yeah, I would never grind these kinda tournies because it's volatile as hell.

The same thing exists in other rooms but with 3 players. In the past 888poker also had the same. I don't know why they chose this version and how many people play here, but some people prefer this and others not. Some people make money, but it is very difficult because when the time expires, the software decides the winner...

I like this fast BLAST sng´s at 888.poker. If you don´t have many time, you can play these games or in combination with multitable games. Ok the structure is lucky gambling game, but you have the chance, to win the x-times of your buy in without many risk.

In 888Poker it is the best to play cash, if you are a skilled player and you can make a profit in every month. Blast it is a difficult game to digest... because you can't make a profit here if you are a mediocre or average player. You have to be really good at this for money.
