lets hope that will be a huge success and he will received the royalties

This is simply not true, without big multipliers no one makes 6 figures. There are tones of people, most of em are recs, who hit big multipliers and won plenty of dollars, sure. But saying there are dozens of regs making 100k in ev in spins is just a joke. In best case we are talking about 5 guys, sick regs, and maybe max 10 guys with over 80k.

Spins are raked crazy, most of regs, except completely crushers, generating more dollars in rake than dollars they withdraw. Compare this to cash games, mtt or hu hypers. This is a reason why spins are so advertised

Am not making up. There is database, and ask anyone in spins (ask em unofficially, since many regs are in spins marketing business - mostly cause there is not enough money just grinding em)

Lol at industry where you do not have even 10 guys making 100k $

Time has changed, pokerstars has a massive dept now. Is a great idea of bringing new games, suitable for younger generation. However rake will be high. And i bet my whole bankroll there will not be 10 guys making 100k usd per year.

I wish other sites like unibet would step in a game more seriously. However they do not wanna even bring spins to their tables

if i want to play hearthstone i will just play hearthstone

I heard they PM'd him asking where to send him the cheque for $100K, but the account has been dead for more than two years.

Mario kart on n64 with 4 controls on spilt screen

Better then any card game and the most fun to bet on

E sports is boring as eck omg he just shot a pixel man over and over and got a point.

Mario gamble not d stupid other stuff like when you go mario you never go black.

there's this thing called money involved with poker though

It can't be exclaimed enough just how bad something like this is.

-DebtStars will insist on aggro selling those 'powerup's cards decks or whatever they can to losing recs.
Losing players will keep buying them , just to be able to get (buy) a few 'wins' more. Stars don't even need to rakerape (..i want cred for rakerape?) these games like they do every-thing else. They are finding ways to Sell a Win to a fish, and pocket the 100% money. Plus rake.

They are literally coming up with ways to take cash STRAIGHT from fish Providers right to their debt account @Blackstone... instead of growing the game of poker , actively and constantly putting most of their energy and resources into open pushing out and if can just, destroying winning players, max possible. Winning players made poker. The idea that you can make a lot of money if you are the best. Yet the very biggest company keep going straight against the nature, only trying to reverse the basic mechanism of the game to squeeze any penny into their borrowed air and made up 3B$ 'letters' filled pockets. Just to be able to get out and run from the whole thing with as many little pennies they can scavenge. If don't end up in jail lol.

Deviant... as plain insulting as it can get... worth an as aggressive opposition and retribution by anyone in the industry... but yeah lol...

what are you talking about? everyone will have the same chance at powerups

You truly believe that ?

Never was really into them but as much as i know most of similar online games, their main source of revenue is the developer selling weapons/ gear/ magic potions / scrolls and similar ''in game purchase stuff''. And in most those games it is a constant debate how good it is for the competition, from game to game how openly can you just Buy some winning. How much you believe Amaya will not just, try to Make As Much Revenue as fast and furiously possible...

But hey it is just yet another new niche harmless spinoff fun game right.

Its not a collectible card game, its poker with powerups, and im guessing pretty heavy rake.

I think.

Have they said anything about whether they're selling the in game items? There's no more reason to believe they would sell them than they would sell something like time banks in regular poker games. As far I know it's just a new game with new rules to learn, and I'm looking forward to it both because I like learning new games and because there'll probably be a decent opportunity for profit.

The jury is still out as far as how prohibitive the rake will be structured. For spin n goes the rake isn't even necessarily the problem - it's that 25bb hold em sit n goes are such a simple game that even lousy players aren't making huge mistakes and so that 5-8% rake seems steep. What if each spin was a chess match? Suddenly the 5-8% is negligible for a strong player. And the site can't just raise the rake to cannibalize the edges. Recreational players are less sensitive to changes in rake, but they know it's there and stars will have to choose some price point that doesn't deter people from learning the game.

i think there will be no cards to buy for real money, it will just be a 3 or 4 Man sng format where at the beggining everybody has 4 example 10Points to buy cards with, every card costs between 2-5 Points and you can buy as many cards as you want(in this example max five 2Point cards) and you can use everycard only once, its the same principle as hearthstone

powerups might just be random draws too

I'm guessing they'll only make this available for small stakes, so no real point in getting good at it.

Another game in time the cheaters will be miles, if not years ahead of the security and detection of advanced software/bots. No thanks.

From what I saw, it will be a really interesting game, if rake stays the same, it will be able to get a huge margin, since even bad regs/semi-fish are able to avoid losing much money vs good regs in NLHE. If you add more complexity to the game, edges are increased by a lot.

If you're a good gamer, this is a game changer: better regs who kept studying for years will have a smaller edge over you, your edge over fish will huge, and bad regs may be crushed. Of course, it will take some time to learn how to play the game and to get good at it, won't be a problem for those who play mtg/hearthstone tho.

My concern is that in order to use those power-ups, you will have to pay extra rake, then it will be beyond terrible lol.

I've moved a lot of my playing time to unibet. In the past 3 months I went from gold star back to bronze Star on pokerstars. And I play rarely on Stars at all. I support companies who promote poker not silly games that hide the rake.

I think this is taking things too far to the point where it's not even Poker anymore. There's more conventional things they could do to increase action and make the game more fun. Like running crazy hour on the cash tables where you play 72, win the button, 4 card flops and whatever else.

Also, there's other traditional card games they could add beyond Poker which could liven things up. I know a couple of games I played since first starting gambling years ago which would be great for an online setting. Fun and easy to pick up games but which have depth and skill which would give good players an edge.

Wonder if it will be buy-in sng based? Or a cash game style somehow?

Rake going to be worse than micro HU is at the moment though, that's for sure. Gotta get that development money back and show their shareholders they are a great company!! (**** players ldo)

Why would they choose to rake it so high? All these new poker forms have such high rake. Make it more reasonable so it doesn't kill the games.

If this is one of those "amazing" things Danielle Negranu was referring to then I'd rather take that actual blowjob he was comparing it to.

powerup lolgames for fishy + segregated poker games for winning players = gg stars, dis game gon b dead in 4-5 years.

I'm probably a little biased because I quite enjoy strategy games. I think this could potentially be a fun and enjoyable game. However, I don't really think it's going to be implemented in such a way that people could play for income like actual poker. Seems like the target audience is the micro stakes fish and gamers who don't play poker, so I would imagine it's going to be confined to the micro/low stakes. Although, iirc, when Spin & Gos first came out, plenty of regs were adamant that there was no way it could be profitable.

Maybe on Stars, anyway. If something is going to kill online poker in its entirety, it's probably not going to be this.

edit: forgot to add, if there are microtransactions involved with this, then I take back anything positive I might say about it.
