Blast Jackpot poker games are one of the hottest tickets on 888poker, where our players can win up to 10,000 times their buy-in! The games are super-fast, and players only have to beat two opponents to take home the top prize.
We're kicking off 2023 right with another bit hit. In January, three lucky players on the dot-COM client hit a $50K prize pool in a $5 buy-in BLAST game. This prize money was a mammoth 10K times the $5 buy-in!
The three fortunate players had bought in for only $5 each when they hit the $50,000 jackpot prize pool!
1. First-place player “FlushyFish” took home the bulk of the large prize pool- to the tune of $35,000!
2. Second-place finisher “Dustin69” received a tidy $10,000 payday for their $5 buy-in.
3. Our third-place player, “ryan3212”, walked away with $5,000 – which was nothing to sneeze at, given the affordable $5 buy-in.

We Listened to our Players in 2022!
We listened our players in 2022 and implemented crucial changes to make the game more enjoyable and seamless.
Based on your feedback, we removed the TIMER and ALL-IN features from one of our most popular Sit & Go games.
Now, there is no automatic ‘all-in’.
The game will run like a regular SNG until only one player is left standing as the victor.

How to Play BLAST Jackpot Games
Here’s how to quickly jump into a BLAST SNG game:
- Check the poker lobby for BLAST SNG games.
- Join a table where a random draw selects the prize pool.
- Once three players register, the game starts.
- Play your SNG as usual – no automatic all-in and no timer!
- A possible prize pool of up to 10,000 x your buy-in is up for grabs!
Players receive a starting stack based on the prize pool. The bigger the prize pool, the more chips you get.
The blind levels in BLAST Jackpot games are determined according to the prize pool. The bigger the prize pool, the longer the blind levels.
