Pokerstars daily EUR 10K race

[vanHooff]

Hey all,

I just wanted to give the headsup about this promotion that has been ongoing for a while and is still running: Pokerstars daily EUR 10K race.
For those of you who don't mind playing on Pstars (some connection problems, weird withdrawal policies) and don't mind high variance this promotion might offer some decent value.

This promotion is suitable for low-rollers, as the minimum stake is $/€ 0,20 per spin.
Scores are counted over 100 spins on a selection of slots and all scores are: [wins times 100] (a €1 win on €1 stake gives 100 points)

I have collected some data of last week's Races in attached picture.

The data shows that last week you'd need about 500x over 100 spins to score a minimum prize of EUR 5 .
1000x would give EUR 50, 1500x EUR 300-ish. 

By playing the lowest volatility slots you'd have no chance of winning anything, as you need over about 500x to place top 250.

Myself I have scored two top 10 places last week by getting two decent hits on Golden Osiris.

You might want to go for first place on the highest volatility slots or go for a top 10 place on a slot that has lower but more frequent very big hits.
One-lining Book of Dead / Legacy might be a viable strategy?

In case you hit something nice, you may want to stop for a moment, look at the leaderboard and figure it how to play the remainder of the 100 spins,
because sometimes the scores run close.

For those who are playing this, enjoy but don't go overboard in chasing a prize because big wins are rare.
