Yea that's the catch; obviously they would be a very high variance game format which would put off a lot of regs. But at the same time I think they would go down extremely well with the recreational player base and would be very fun to play, with the potential for prize pools to be bigger than they have ever been before in any game format.

I don't know exactly how they could achieve this, but here's a suggestion. Say for my $1 MTT spin example, if there's 1000 entries I said prizes could range between $500 and $1M. Well let's suppose instead there's more than 1000 entries. Then this range stated above could be the fixed range of prizepools determined by the spin of the wheel (acting as the "guarantee", so "win a share of up to $1M GTD", with $500 GTD as the minimum). And then any leftover prize money from any extra entries that crack the guarantee (in this case, it means any over 1000 entries) can be added to a separate "normal" prizepool that will then be added to whatever prizepool the spin wheel lands on. So for instance, suppose there are 1500 entries in my $1 MTT spin, and the spin lands on $1000, and 8% of the normal prizepool goes to rake. Then the total prizepool will be $1000 (spin) + $460 (normal - rake) = $1460. Make sense?
But that's just one way they could do it, of course there are probably other (perhaps better) ways, but I'll leave that for them to figure out.
