Try our fast & thrilling poker format - Spin & Go
PokerStars Spin & Go is the exciting poker format that anyone can play – and you can now win up to 2,000 times your buy-in.
Each Spin & Go has a randomly assigned prize pool, and gives you the chance to win up to $50,000 in minutes.
How Spin & Go’s work
Spin & Go's are fast-paced, 3-Max Hyper-Turbo Sit & Go tournaments, featuring 500 chip starting stacks. Buy-ins range from $1 to $25, and each tournament has a randomly drawn prize pool that will award between two and 2,000 times your buy-in.
To get started, select your buy-in and the number of simultaneous tournaments you want to play, and then click the ‘Register’ button. It's that easy.
Once you have chosen your buy-in and the number of games you want to play, you will be seated at a tournament table until two other players have registered.
As soon as a third player registers for your Spin & Go tournament, there will be a random draw to decide how big the tournament prize pool will be.
The spinner in the center of the table will display the prize pool to all players.
The first hand will then be dealt and the Spin & Go prize will be up for grabs.
Example: You register for a $2 Spin & Go. Once two other players have registered the prize pool will be randomly drawn and announced to players before the first card is dealt. The first-place prize will be multiplied between two and 2,000 times your buy-in, meaning you could turn $2 into between $4 and $4,000.
Level Length
The length of each blind level in a Spin & Go tournament depends on what prize pool multiplier is drawn before the tournament starts. The length varies as follows:
| Prize Pool Multiplier | Level Length (minutes) |
|---|---|
| 2 | 2 |
| 3-5 | 3 |
| 10-50 | 4 |
| 100+ | 5 |
