Spin&Gos represent a new variation of Sit&Go tournaments (SNGs), played 3 handed at hyper-turbo speed. These tournaments have different characteristics, which can vary depending on the network which is offering them.
Prize Pools
These tournaments have random prize pools, which are drawn at the beginning of each game, before the action starts and which can vary between 2 and 12000 times the buy-in.
Winning Policy
The majority of Spin&Gos have the "winner takes all" policy excepting the cases when the prize drawn is among the highest 3 tiers. In such tournaments, 2nd and 3rd place also take a share of the prize, usually 10%.
Tournament Structure
Spin&Gos players usually receive 500 chips and levels increase every 3 minutes. Deal making is not possible for such tournaments even in case of rooms which allow such agremeents in case of other games.
Spin&Go Rake
Spin&Gos rake charged varies between 7% and 10%, depending on the poker room and on the buy-in level.
Poker Types
Players interested in this SNG variation can play both Holdem and Omaha Spin&Gos.
Names
This SNG variation is mostly known as Spin&Go as it was first introduced by PokerStars. The other poker networks followed suit and started offering similar games, but with different names: Spin&Go (PokerStars.it), Twister (iPoker.it), Slot&Go (Lottomatica), VeloX (People's Poker), Blast (888 Poker), Sit&Go Jakpot (Bwin.Party.it).
