How to Play WPT Global Spins

Global Spins are 3-handed poker tournaments with random prize pools. The jackpot Sit & Go (SNG) format has been popular online for more than a decade, but we've added unique features to the mix. These features make these poker games exciting and give you more ways to win exclusive prizes.

Before we talk more about the specifics of WPT Global Spins tournaments, let's quickly define what we mean by jackpot SNGs. 

These single-table poker tournaments put a different spin on traditional SNGs. Instead of fixed prize pools and payouts, jackpot SNGs have random prize multipliers that kick in once all three players are seated. This means you don't know what you're playing for until the first card is dealt.

Along with random prizepools, jackpot SNGs are 3-handed showdowns that typically have a winner-takes-all format. But, as we'll explain in a moment, Global Spins tournaments pay more than the average jackpot SNG.

Unpredictability adds to the excitement of Global Spins poker tournaments. However, that doesn't mean our games lack structure. Prize multipliers are random, as we've said. However, they fall within defined parameters.

Specifically, prizes range from 2x to 6,000x the buy-in.

For example, if you enter a $10 Global Spins tournament and the prize multiplier stops at 10x, you'll be playing for $100. If you enter a $25 tournament and the multiplier stops at 10x, the prize pool is $250.

In addition to standard payouts, WPT Global Spins have progressive jackpots. This is one of the unique features we mentioned earlier. Rake for Global Spins tournaments is 5%. As it is with all our online poker tournaments, this charge is built into the entry fee.

We've built an additional 1% jackpot contribution into the entry fee. This fee goes into a pot, along with everyone else's contributions, to create a progressive payout that often surpasses $100,000. The WPT Global Spins progressive jackpot is triggered when the prize multiplier stops at 6,000x.

When that happens, all the jackpot contributions for the buy-in level you're playing get added to the tournament's prize pool. The progressive nature of these jackpots means, in theory, you've got unlimited payout potential when you play Global Spins at WPT Global.   

We've got poker tournaments for everyone. Depending on what you can comfortably afford to pay based on your bankroll, there are six WPT Global Spins buy-ins to choose from:

You can play 1, 2, 3, or 4 Spins tournaments simultaneously. Why can't you play more? That's our policy for now, but we're confident that 4 tables are enough for the majority of players because of how fast the games are.

They're faster than an average SNG for 2 reasons:

Another of the unique twists we referred to earlier is the starting stack formula. Instead of starting with a standard stack in all scenarios, we give you more chips based on the amount you can win. Put simply, when there's more money to play for, we'll give you more chips to play with.

The final feature that makes WPT Global Spins different from other jackpot SNGs you might have played before is the payout structure.

In general, these SNGs are winner-takes-all affairs. That's true for Spins, up to a point. If the prize multiplier stops at 10x or bigger, 3 people win. At the top of the table, everyone wins a share of the 6,000x prize pool.

That's why you've got more chances to win when you play jackpot SNGs at WPT Global.
