888poker $3000 Roulette Freeroll being replaced?

[theRaven68]

I agree that this time they made it much harder for players and we need to compete more than 12k players to win $5 blast ticket
....hmm, i am not sure about meaningfulness of it

After almost a week of trying, I finally managed to get a $5 Blast ticket! (Super lucky here, 700 people left with 1.5bb with blinds coming around when I got moved onto a new table on the button, managed to fold my way to the ticket). :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Then I got lucky and won 2nd place in a $25 prize Blast game for $7.50! (I was in 1st place going into the All In portion with KQ vs 64, flopped a Q but opponent got runner runner straight!)

I love that when it happens, shortstacked then keep getting moved around while not paying antes and blinds. I had a good laugh one day.....I got moved like 7 8 times I had less then a bb(was high at the time)but had like 2 antes around 100 players till itm and I made it haha min-cash.... good times lol

I disaproved this new blast tourney.
Only 600 players get the blast ticket out of 12.000. I think that this is almost impossible play bingo from the first hand till the end.

Would you approve if they changed to Blast tickets similar to this?
(I would)

($100) #1 = $100 Blast Ticket
($270) #2-10 = $30 Blast Ticket
($450) #11-40 = $15 Blast Ticket
($1300) #41-300 = $5 Blast Ticket
($700) #301-1000 = $1 Blast Ticket
($280) 1001-2800 = .10 Blast Ticket

There was roulette freeroll?

No. It was the usual poker freeroll called "roulette freeroll" when they were promoting their casino.

 

[Inequitas]

I noticed the new Blast Spin Wheel and no listings for more $3000 Roulette Tournaments, but looks like being replace with $3000 Blast Freeroll (pay first 600 places a $5 Blast ticket).
What do you think about changes?

I Don't Mind At All...

I've been Lucky Enough to Pick Up Three $3,000 Lucky Blast Tickets In Three Days...

It Maybe Because I've dropped from round 57 tournaments a week played to 25 due to Software Change as I Can Only Play them On Tablet until I update XP to WIN10 on PC

Why Does it Take 72hours to Be Added to account though?

Won a $5 blast today sadly prizepool of $10 25% chance to win as 4 players and busted
that timer until everybody all in every hand runs down fast.
But hey it is a bit of fun and free good luck.
888 are very generous compared to most sites:top:

 

[Serbianbeauty]

Although I do not like the change to only 600 winners to a ticket that only gives 25% chance to win, I agree they are generous even adding these 2 x $1000 Springtime freerolls every day for chances at min cash for us tiny stakes beginner players. I just finished #300 of about #7500 to add .80 more. So I officially doubled my bankroll for the first time with that finish from $20 to now $40.02.

 

[CTAPYXA]

Twice I got 600 of the best and has twice won 7.50 by ticket. That's a good 15 bucks.

 

[Brandlad]

I did win $5 ticket yesterday and used it to win $7.5 in a blast game and I used that $7.5 amount to move up to $36 via sports betting and now it is 70 cents as I lost few heads up games. Though, I managed to move upward from 118 level to 119 level.

These blast tourneys are tough.. Not nearly as easy as poker roulette. Ive won one ticket so far, and placed close a couple times. Seems its an all in kinda game, and I think you need to get around the 30-40K level to safely place in the top 600

I can usually cash in the PS 10K tournaments, PS .10 360 people, PP jackpot freerolls, PP Ladies Weekly Specials, PS CC 25+ freerolls, 888 FB, 888 Twitter and Instagram freerolls, etc..... placed #23 out of over 600 in PP .44 Gladiator yesterday.


On the other hand, I just finished another Blast freeroll with no ticket and stick to my original opinion about this change in 888's $3000 freerolls being not positive. Playing 2 Blast tournaments most days, I only won twice and lost both times in $5 Blast All-In games. That ends up being a lot of time and frustrating for most the players over time, but it is hard not to try when you have all the free tickets to use and is main prize given on wheel.
I would rather win .30, .60, 1.20, etc more regularly or even a lower value Blast ticket more regular with higher value $5+ Blast tickets being for maybe the top 300 and using rest of $3000 money for more $1 and even .10 Blast tickets to make more winners daily while 888 spending the same amount of money.

Vent over

 

[edenman1]

Just winning a ticket to the tournament is tough. I lost 6/7 times this week on the wheel. It seems they change the game every couple months maybe.

 

[Risto234]

It definitely took (too much) time but i finally won that 5$ blast ticket today

Since i cant edit my original post anymore then i guess it's better to quote it ...
Anyway i used that 5$ blast ticket and as i managed to eliminate all 3 rivals before we'd go all-in then i won 17.50

 

[Risto234]

So in this particular tournament i've made it to the top 1000 in the 3 consecutive days now. Obviously thursday was the greatest cause on friday i were few minutes away from getting that blast ticket and luckily today i won it yet again. And i already used it - this time i came second and won 7.50

 

[Serbianbeauty]

This month I was able to win a $5 Blast Ticket 4 times, and then won $7.50 (2nd with $25 spin) and just today won $10 (first with $10 spin). I definitely like the 6:00 timer better than the 2 minute in the two lower Blast levels which gives time to eliminate other players especially if you are playing for second with $25 spin. The $17.50 total is probably similar to what I won with the roulette wheel in the first month of my online poker playing in March, so I'll complain little less. I still think winning something smaller everyday in these type freerolls makes me feel consistently better about site.

 

[POKERRANSOM]

i like the 600 places paid cause you can play straight up poker and more then likely make it to the 600.. the blast tourney are pretty much alot of luck but if you do win it could be alot of money

 

[puzzlefish]

You can also play $5 MTTs but don't tell anyone [emoji19]

 

[Brandlad]

I did manage to win $17.5 in $5 blast game with the help of the ticket today.

 

[Roovex_13]

2\10 win...and 2 lose blast in all in game(overtime)

 

[orsino12]

Because of the time these games are played I don't get to play too many of them. I've only landed the $5 ticket once and been really close another 5 or 6 times.

I did cash with that ticket, but I can't say exactly how much as I also had 2 more $5 BLAST tickets from the daily spin and used all 3 tickets at once and won all 3 games for $10, $17.50 and $30 (spins were $10, $25 and $50) so I can't say which ticket was the one I won.

This was just over a week ago, a nice boost to my bankroll that night (I forgot to pull up the lobby for the $10 game)
