Jackpot Poker features PokerStars' wildly popular Spin & Go
tournaments that can turn a small buy-in tournament into a massive
prize pool. The fast-form three-person tournament feature a jackpot
element that determines the final prize pool after the players take
their seats and before the first card is dealt. Players are
guaranteed their minimum prize pool, but the spin of the wheel can
multiply that prize up to 3,000 times the original value. Jackpot
Poker is the only social poker game to offer this innovative
tournament format to players.

tournament winner within 10 minutes of play and have revolutionised
