Most of the time, between 80-90% of the Spin & Go tournament you play, the prize pool will be either 2x or 3x your buy-in. Rather than have a prize pool that the buy-in determines, the pot is randomly determined by the prize pool multiplier before dealing with the first cards. That becomes apparent as soon as the games start.

You may wonder why these famous poker tournaments are often called lottery or jackpot sit & gos. The iPoker Network launched Twister, the now-defunct Full Tilt released Jackpot, 888poker created BLAST, and PartyPoker got in on the act with SPINS. Their popularity resulted in other online poker sites and networks creating versions of these lottery tournaments. The so-called 'jackpot sit and go' format first appeared online at Winamax in July 2013 under the name Expresso. A typical Spin & Go at PokerStars has three players, although the Spin & Go Max Hold'em has up to eight more on that twist soon! Spin and Go tournaments are a sit-and-go variant with no set start time, with each game starting as soon as enough players have bought in. Spin & Go games attract recreational and professional poker players in equal measure thanks to the jackpot element, making it possible for players to turn a relatively small buy-in into a payout worth up to $1 million, thanks to the prize pool multiplier, and do so in a matter of minutes.

The excitement around Spin and Go tournaments has never died down since making their debut at PokerStars in 2014.
