Some changes are underway for 888poker’s Blast jackpot games. That includes removing the timer and automatic all-in features from the popular sit & go games.
“We’ve listened to our players and are confident they’ll love the changes,” the company noted in a news release.
Sit & go style tournaments feature three players with a random prize determined at the beginning of the action. The events are usually in a winner-take-all format on most online poker sites.
The changes bring 888’s Blast games more in line with similar offerings at other online platforms.

A look at the 888poker Blast changes
Like many online poker sites, 888 offers short-handed, fast-paced tournaments. Blast events offer players with limited time a chance to test their poker skills against others.
The tournaments are quick and offer a chance at major prizes depending on the prize randomizer. Players can win up to 10,000 times their buy-in, offering players a shot at plenty of bang for the buck.
888’s was a unique version with a bit more luck involved because of the timer and auto all-in features. Players apparently wanted these elements removed and 888 now has delivered with that request.
“With more control over the outcome of your game, your chance to win massive Blast jackpots is even more in your hands,” the company noted in announcing the changes.
Those playing in Blast events will also notice some additional details. The higher the prize pool multiplier, the more chips a player receives. Blind level lengths also increase at higher levels.
