Spin & Go Max has even more variation and features, and you can win up to 10,000 times your buy-in.

The next evolution of Spin & Go has been added to the PokerStars client today. Spin & Go Max is vastly different from the original variant, although the randomised nature is still at its core.

The most noticeable difference is at the very start. Not only is the prize pool randomised, the number of players are. Between three and eight players will be drawn at the table, based on the following ratios:

The second big change is that nobody knows what they are playing for until the end. The eventual winner gets to pick between three random prizes which are made known at the start, but are face down when they are picked at the end. So you are aware of the top and bottom prizes, but do not know which one will be picked. When the prize pool is particularly large, a 'cash out' option will be made available (Like in the show Deal No Deal).

The final big change takes a leaf from BLAST at 888poker. After a predetermined number of hands, based on the number of players at the table, the action will stop and an All-In Shootout will decide the match. The number of hands is quite low for the most part and this is to encourage fast action earlier in the game.

This new game is available now at the $1, $3, $7 and $15 levels for COM, EU, UK and BE desktop and Android users, with an iOS version expected very soon.
