They need a 4 color deck imo

Nah they need more decks period. The default one is okay but nasty "vietnam poker" has better decks but run by the Vietcong so It balances out.

The clubs and spades at a distance can be tricky
I shoved once with the nut flush to find out it was really ace high on the river

Lol

Lmfao.

Second time I went to ac I left a table with a few hundo and found my boy. He went all in for 300 thinking he had a boat, his excuse:

A glare on the turn.

Haha, lost to a straight.

Having pretty good luck with the $5.50 MTT's doing 25 cent spins. (odds are like ~4.5%?)

Turned $3.25 into about 16.5$ worth of seats.

This was awhile back
And I actually don't like four color deck feels not right to me
It was humor error was to comfy sitting back on couch
Funny how quick I jumped up when chips slid the other way

I usually hate everything that involves spinning and gambling but it looks like WPN has found a way to make it an overall positive for everyone. Nice job guys.

How does this exactly work?

What are the odds to win a seat?

Are the odds different is spinning to win a seat to a $5 MTT to a $100 MTT?

Also doo chances to winning chance whwen spining for .1 cent to $1?


Also lets say I spin $1 to try to wina seat into a $1 MTT lol like would I basically win or could I stilllose like 10 spins in a row thus losing $10 to wina aseat into a $1 MTT? LOL

(amount of bet - 2% rake)/buy-in = odds of winning

So a $1 bet would have a 89% chance to get you into a $1.10 tourney. ($1 - $0.02)/$1.10 = .8909

That same $1 bet would have a 0.9% chance to get you into a $109 tourney. ($1 - $0.02)/$109 = .00899

The Hail Mary of spins right now is the one cent bet for entry into the $1 mil GTD.

(0.01 - 0.0002)/$540 = .000018148

Math is definitely not my strong suit. But I was wondering if that dollar tournament should be considered $1.10 or $1. Is the Spin to Get IN calibrated to give odds with or without the tournament rake? The announcement seems to imply that the only rake that is charged is that of the S2GI spins.

I believe it would be $1.10 in that example. In other words "Event Entry" includes the target tournament rake in the formula for Chance to Win:

(Slot Wager - Slot Hold) / Event Entry = Chance to Win
12-14-2014 , 01:27 AM
^^ $1.10 in the example, far as I can gather. But I could theoretically see it either way. The "rake" is the 2% slot hold. The buy-in + fee is the amount used to calculate (not considered "rake" in the traditional sense here).

Btw, I can spin $0.25 into $11 entries like no one's business. Two entries thus far on 4 spins...lol.

I just pulled up a DON and because I was bored i decided I would spin a couple times. The very first spin I won and an error screen popped up and said "registration error". Anyone else encountered this? Im trying to contact support now and I will update this.

EDIT TO ADD:

Well I just spun again for a different SNG and I got the same error message on the first spin, and on the second. So maybe I didnt actually win. I just assumed that I had won since I got a registration error, and the only way it would try to register me is if I would have won right? Well the first spin was .25 for a $5. DON and the 2 I just did to check and see if it happened again were .01 for a 1.50 don. Still waiting on support.

(Slot Wager - Slot Hold) / Event Entry = Chance to Win

So "Slot Hold" is the 2% rake from whatever wager you're dumping into the site whether it be $0.01, $0.25, or $1?

Say I'm spinning for $0.25, and trying to win entry into a $44 tournament. This should be true then, correct, if what you're explaining is accurate:

$0.25 * 2% = $0.005, therefore [($0.25-$0.005)/$33]*100 = 0.742%

Thanks for showing us the math. I was wondering what the OP was referring to when they mentioned "Slot Hold."

On another note, am I the only one who's made at least 50 spins and not won a single ticket yet? Granted I've only wagered pennies and quarters, I figured I would've hit something by now.
12-23-2014 , 10:54 PM
When spinning quarters for a $33 buyin, you should expect to win about 1 time in 135 spins on average.
12-24-2014 , 05:03 PM
I seem to get in with $0.25 or $0.01 spins after busting and trying to re-enter. Pre-registering, I've tossed all three denominations at it and haven't had success....yet.

Pretty ingenious idea, IMO.
12-31-2014 , 04:06 AM
The Spin to Get In feature , which I have spent a good amount on several games to get in.
(Knock on Wood) I've had pretty good luck with it. IMO I like it, for the most part it giving me a nice shot at providing maximum Profit
Secondly I've been lucky enough to Spin to win a few times at Higher level buy in that I could not normally afford.
Thank You Americas Cardroom (WPN) the opportunity is appreciated

At least somebody is winning. I've tried countless spins at all different denominations for mostly $10-$20 buyins with a zero success rate
12-31-2014 , 09:07 AM
i wonder how much they made on spins when they launched it before the million tourney
