Poker satellites suddenly have some new competition. Americas Cardroom has a brand new tournament entry feature called Spin To Get In that lets players win a seat in a major event without playing a single hand of poker. The slot machine-like feature invites players to spin a wheel for a chance to win a seat into a tournament for as little as $0.01.
"Poker is a game of skill, but we thought we'd bring a little luck to the table," stated Americas Cardroom spokesperson Michael Harris. "With Spin To Get In, we've added a slot machine style component to our registration option. It's a low-cost way to win a seat in a major tournament and players have already won big by taking advantage of the feature."
Located in the lobby of each tournament and Sit & Go, Spin to Get In works much like a slot machine. Players are invited to place a bet of $0.01, $0.25, or $1 and spin a wheel. If a 3-of-a-kind shows up, the players automatically wins a seat into the event.
Harris notes that Spin To Get In is perfect for players who bust out of a tournament and can't re-enter the traditional way. The feature is also open to players who haven't yet registered for a tournament, however those who are currently playing in a tournament won't see the feature.
While Spin To Get In has just launched, players are already seeing its virtues. Just the other day, an online poker player risked $0.01 and won a seat in Winning Millions. The $1 million guaranteed tournament is set to get underway on December 14th and is the first Sunday Million Dollar tournament to hit US shores in nearly four years.
Players will see the Spin To Get In feature located next to the Register button in the lobby of any Sit & Go or tournament. More information on Spin To Get In and Winning Millions can be found at AmericasCardroom.eu.
