Even if the multipliers are wrong by accident and they are not doing it wrong on purpose, we would never know either way now

Haven't tried jackpot yet, but it DOES excite me . looking to give it a spin soon

FWIW, putting in PLO8 would make me very happy and I'd probably play these again. Not saying I think they'd get a ton of players compared to NLHE but just putting my support out there.

I guess that explains it! I was thinking it wouldn't be that much at all to win the thing.

I hope it doesn't reg-infest the 10s. Maybe WPN will put in a 20 dollar level? I would love a more steady jump in buy-ins like is available at stars. The roll required for the 2s vs 10s is muuuuch different even for a player willing to deposit if busto.

What is the purpose of the 'take my seat(s)' button?

If you're in a Jackpot Poker game and exited it for some reason, that button allows you to sit back in the game.

LOL.. I use it all the time when the game freezes, exit out and hit the "take my seat"... Saves me a lot...

Do PT4 or Hm2 support jackpots sng?

I use PT4.. works fine

Did you guys do anything special to import jackpot sngs? maybe my filter is off but not seeing anything? I use PT4

Make sure you downloaded the newest version of PT4

You'll need to update To the latest version of PT4, purge your database and re-import everything.

Wow what a great invention jackpots are. Yea there a pain in the ass when your constantly playing for $4 a lot, but there like sratchoffs with skill involved. What a great idea someone had.

Yes. The best inventions were all shamelessly copied and rebranded.

Sometimes I wish WPN could be less obvious with their shills..

Seriously? You should be applauding WPN, they are trying to give us a product as close to Pokerstars as possible. To me, I am absolutely thrilled to have an opportunity to play on a network that has some resemblance.

I assume you didn't play much on the old cake network, Lock etc... Gross #FeelDirty

Meh.. Jackpot poker didn't do me any favors. It killed the SNG action in which I was a faithful regular whom didn't grind on any other networks for about a year. I now grind on Bovada and Betonline after spewing my bank roll on Jackpots over the course of a few days.. a bank roll in which I had grinded up over the course of a few months. Some people prefer more poker than gambling when playing poker (Jackpots/Hypers)... more chips and a better structure to allow more time per game for an edge to be realized...

I won't be returning unless WPN creates some type of promotion for SnGs in which JPP won't steal from it. Once JPP is included in SNC, you won't be able to cash decently in it without playing JPP. BetOnline (even with their ****ty software) has a much better $50k SnG rake race going & Bovada has much more traffic as to SnGs. It simply isn't worth my time to play on WPN anymore. Their cash outs are better/comparable to WPN, so it's not like they are the only US-facing network that pays..

Setting my opinion/experience aside, you have to admit the statement that WPN "invented" Jackpot poker is hilariously ridiculous tho.

I didn't read it as saying WPN invented them. It would also be possible for someone that hasn't seen them before to innocently believe WPN did invent them.

*Shill warning*

I've ranked top 10 in BoL leaderboard in the past - I think the only way to do it is play their expresses, which are 6max hypers, no?

I guess you don't see my posts very often than. If you don't Jackpots, than that is fine, but your going to have to just deal with it since there not going away anytime soon.

I'm not really sure I get why people are upset with this, other than being a SNG reg. I can understand that to a point.

But it's the way people are evolving. Can't blame WPN for society. Everyone wants it now. What better way to feed that then to have the potential to turn $2 into $5,000 in 5 minutes.

Being in marketing, I can tell you this is nothing all that surprising. I'm constantly at odds about it, but it's tough to fight.

Winning $5,000 (for simplicities sake ignoring the actual distribution) in 5 minutes sounds enticing. But it sounds a lot less enticing when it is pointed out that in reality that on average an average player will probably have paid about $25,000 in rake before winning that $5,000.

Nobody gives a **** about your sit and Gos. Jackpots is for the better and the immense fish it will attract is way more than the extra 1-2%roi u can grind out from you regular sit n Gos had there been no jackpot. Start thinking about the network instead of yourself for once. And LOL at hypers being gambling

Ya... Expresso, Twister Poker, Jackpot SnGs, Spin & Gos, Jackpot Poker... whatever you want to call it. Is really bringing in a ton of players into the iPoker world.

Contrary to popular belief, it hasn't brought many bad players into the player pool at all, all it has done is sucked them away from other game types such as cash games, sit and gos, and MTTs.

Pre-2013:



I could hunt down other statistics, but I guess you get the point...

Perception is reality. Casuals aren't looking at cost analysis. It's like the lottery. An extreme few may keep cost vs winnings when playing the Powerball. But the masses don't care. It's all about the dream.

yup. its hard out here for a pimp.

seriously tho, thanks for these stats, they're news to me
