The new BLAST Sit & Go is an exciting, fast-paced Sit & Go format where you can win big. Three players compete for a randomly drawn prize pool. Every time you register for a BLAST Sit & Go, you could be playing for a prize pool worth up to 10,000 times your buy-in!
The higher the prize pool multiplier, the more chips you receive and the longer the blind levels become.
BLAST is a 3-handed, super-turbo Texas Hold’em Sit & Go where every game starts with suspense. The prize pool is unknown until the action begins and is decided by a random draw at the start of each BLAST tournament, ranging from 2x to 10,000x the buy-in.
The blind structure and prize pool distribution for each BLAST Sit & Go depend entirely on the multiplier revealed in the draw.
Once you register for a BLAST Sit & Go, you’ll be seated with two other players. As soon as all three players are registered, the draw takes place and the prize pool is revealed.
It’s easy. Click on the BLAST tab located on the far right of the tab bar in the 888poker main lobby. Inside this tab, you’ll see all available BLAST Sit & Go buy-in options.
Next, register for a BLAST Sit & Go by clicking on the buy-in you want to play and selecting the number of BLAST Sit & Go tournaments you wish to enter.
Once three players have registered, the draw takes place and the game begins.
The BLAST draw takes place as soon as the Sit & Go starts, determining the prize pool that is immediately revealed.
The bigger the prize pool, the more play time you get — with more starting chips and longer blind levels.
When choosing which BLAST Sit & Go to play, you can select from the following buy-ins: 10¢, $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and $100.
Currently, BLAST games are supported in the PC download version of 888poker and in the 888 poker mobile app. They are not available in the no-download or webapp versions of the software.
A BLAST Sit & Go is a 3-handed, super-turbo Texas Hold’em tournament where the prize pool is revealed only when the game starts. A random multiplier determines whether you play for a small prize or a jackpot worth up to 10,000x your buy-in.
Before the first hand is dealt, a random draw selects a multiplier ranging from 2x to 10,000x your buy-in. This multiplier also determines your starting stack and the length of the blind levels.
Because BLAST is a super-turbo format, most games end within a few minutes. Higher multipliers include longer blind levels, giving players more play time.
BLAST combines traditional poker decision-making with a random prize pool draw. The multiplier is luck-based, but the gameplay itself still relies heavily on skill, especially in short-handed formats.
Partially. BLAST is faster and 3-handed, so strategies need to be adjusted. Short-stack dynamics, push-fold ranges, and understanding blind pressure are more important than in regular Sit & Go formats.
The prize pool is revealed immediately after all three players register and the game begins.
Starting chips scale with the prize pool multiplier. Higher multipliers give players deeper stacks and longer blind levels to increase skill involvement.
BLAST is currently available on the 888poker PC download version and the 888poker mobile app. It isn’t supported on the web or no-download versions.
BLAST adds two unique elements:
The maximum payout is a jackpot prize worth 10,000x your buy-in.
