888 Spin Wheel

[Nikolay Nakhaev]

well, what else do they sometimes give to get these tickets for 1500, still there is an opportunity to enter the prizes and replenish a little BRL .

After the last 3-4 weeks of hitting nothing but lucky chip tix and misses, I finally hit pay dirt yet again.

Another $16.50 Big Fish Ticket!! This is the 3rd time to hit this prize since October.

Now hopefully I can cash on one of these Big Fish tickets, I have had terrible luck everytime I play this event.

 

[Dontnonothin]

That really seems to be kind of odd. Wha not contact the support?

 

[vic75]

The only other prize I hit besides the lucky chip ticket is a $1 blast ticket anyone know the actual odds are of hitting a big fish ticket.??

 

[nAlexandr93]

Friend, this is just luck, free luck, you should not complain about what they give for free

Ive hit Big Fish $16.50 3 times, 1$ Blast 3 times and $5.50 Big fish 5 times. I started my account at 888poker in July 2018, so about 5 months ago. Keep spinning, big fish tickets are out there!! I never miss a spin.

 

[MatMackenz]

Lucky !

This is how I feel just to win the ticket!! It is a great opportunity to play a higher buy-in tournament.

They give me easy ticket, but I have a hard time making cash. My last Big Fish ticket I won..

4-5 hands in I get my Aces Cracked by A6o... There must be reason they call it big fish.

Anyone that thinks that "internet gambling" ever resembles real life gambling is bound to be disappointed. There are simply too many ways that the randomness of real life can be compromised on the internet and unscrupulous activity by those who can will assuredly find its way to the arena.

We are talking about a spin wheel that is completely free to play, and gives out free prizes.

Obvioulsy the prizes are weighted from worst to best, so your odds of spinning nothing or crap is much higher then spinning a big prize like the 33$ fish ticket.

If you cant handle the fact that the "wheel" doesnt give prizes equally at random "like real-life" then simply just do not play it. Im sure you can find a better use of time for the 2 seconds it takes to spin.

Its not exactly gambling either, since you have no money invested in the wheel.

If you are talking about "internet gambling" in general, then you got the wrong thread.. you want the "Rigged Megathread"

Hi! I get lucky chip tickets or nothing most of the time unfortunately.
By the way, some people know, some don't, but you don't have to open a poker client to spin the wheel.
Just open this link in your web browser:
www.888poker.com/poker-client/spin/big-fish/?isftd=1&origcid=**********
Replace ********** with your support id. These digits can be found, for example, in the end of every official e-mail from 888poker.
You can use the same link to spin a wheel for the 2nd time daily after 17:00 GMT in your mobile (Android, iOS) web browser.

they say that the wheel gives to those who generate a lot of rake, it always has been, there are no freebies.

 

[agriggy]

Been going on the free spin wheel to try and win freeroll tickets.. there is 9 or 10 sections on it and i have hit the 1 lose section for every spin apart from once in over three weeks now, The odds on that happening must be huge. Thats like hitting black on a roulette wheel 1000's of times in a row. If only i were that lucky. Maybe 888 just want me to use my tiny bankroll I've won from previous freeroll wins lol. Don't see how it's possible to keep hitting the same section over and over again. So much for trying to get a few more $'s behind me before playing cash games[/Q

I have won some pretty good tickets, as high as $3.000. Keep trying

You have to realize that the prizes the wheel gives out are weighted, meaning it will end up on nothing or crap prizes many more times then good prizes. The spins are not equally distributed, such as your roulette analogy.

Just think of it similar to a scratch card, where the chances of winning a good prize are much much lower then winning nothing or the smallest prize.

Everyone gets the same spin odds (I think??), except the VIP members, who draw from a different prize pool I believe, but still weighted from worst to best. Hope this helps!!

Hello! After the spin the wheel, win a ticket for $ 16.50 tournament. I was very happy !!!

 

[619Leafs]

The 888 spin wheel has a lot of good prizes but some are harder to win than other prizes.

 

[dregan]

I stopped giving the wheel tickets and I ignored it for two weeks and did not spin. it's cool. When I read this post, I tried to spin the wheel again. And again I got nothing. It is unclear how the algorithm of the wheel is set.

 

[HeshamTwix]

What is that wheel?

 

[Brandlad]

No problem with the wheel except these free big fish tickets are counted as a real fees by poker tracking websites like sharkscope etc and if you do not cash in these tourneys then your ROI is going to hit negatively.

Yes, it is working.

I have long ceased to turn the wheel. In tournaments with these tickets a lot of bad players play and it is impossible to play normally. All play for good luck. Get to the prizes is unreal. I stopped wasting time.

Yeah right . It's hard to win a good prize . For 2 years he won 2 tickets for $16.5 and 1 for $5 . Usually you win a ticket to the tournament for $ 1500 . And as in the tournament the blinds for 3 minutes to win , something serious is hard . Usually you win $0.15 - $0.30 . But sometimes you can win $10 - $20 .

Yes it helps, but still have to keep on spinning, it will pay off in the end

lucky chip or nothing

Ive never won anything but the lucky chip. Not sure what my biggest no win streak is but it has to be atleast 14 spins ( 2 weeks ).
