PokerStars has launched Tetris Spin and Go, a twist to its Spin and Go game which adds a new themed leaderboard-style mini-game under official Tetris branding.
Avid pokerfuse readers will have already known that this was in the pipeline: Our sister site F5 exclusively revealed this coming back in September last year.
So what is Tetris + Spin & Go? Well, its a full rebranding of the operator’s ultra-successful Spin & Go lottery sit and go game. If you were playing this game before, you can keep playing it now—nothing has changed to the rules, you’ll just notice a fancy new lobby and table theme.
If you don’t have a PokerStars account, then you can sign up and as soon as you have a verified real money account, you can participate in this promotion. Spin and Go games start at just 25 cents, and you can take advantage of the operator’s generous sign-up bonus at the same time.
At the heart of Tetris + Spin & Go is effectively a very generous leaderboard promotion. The company is giving away over $1.5 million from now until March 28, one of the most generous promotions PokerStars has run in a long while.
Tetris + Spin and Go: What you Need to Know
- Make sure you join every leaderboard with a link in the Spin and Go lobby so that you participate.
- There is a leaderboard for each buy-in.
- There is no cost to participation.
- Otherwise play your games as normal—you do not need to do anything else to be in with a shot of a prize.
- You can play both Spin and Go and the fast Spin and Go Flash variant. Both contribute to the same leaderboard (if played at the buy-in).
- The more games you play and win, the higher up the leaderboard you go.
- The leaderboard is daily and individual cash prizes range from $5 up to $3000.
- You can participate in as many leaderboards as you like, for as many days as you like.
- The promotion is running now and concludes March 28, 2021.
Understanding exactly how it works is a little complicated. Basically, while you play games, you accumulate line clears. You get more if you win a spin and go, but you still get some if you come second or third. Every position counts but just playing tournaments racks up these lines.
You then move up levels. Every time you hit five Line Clears, you move up a level. These are effectively points multipliers. It goes up to 20.
These two factors combine to give you leader board points. And these points are what move you up the table into contention.
If all that sounds a bit confusing, then don’t worry: Just play your usual Spin and Go games and keep an eye on the leaderboard. The one possible deviation is that second place has slightly more value than third, but probably not enough for you to deviate your normal strategy.

If you see yourself in contention for a leaderboard one day, it might be worth checking out the payouts—as you could be in for free money at the end of the day if you keep playing.
Things to keep in mind with PokerStars’ Tetris + Spin and Go
- Volume here pays – regardless of your finish position, you are getting points for the leader board every game.
- This compounds – as you grind more games, you level up, which multiplies points.
- All finish positions count – you get more points for second than third place finish.
- Low multiplier games actually help more so don’t switch off on those 2x games!
Pokerstars Tournament Leaderboard Points
The operator has earmarked a total of $33,000 daily for leaderboard prizes—one of the operator’s most generous in recent memory.
These are spread across all buy-in tiers. For example, for the 25 cent game, first place each day wins $50, and the top 100 spots get at least $5.
The prizes both increase in value, and decrease in payout spots, in higher buyins. For example, The $100 game only pays the top 20 players, but the top prize is $1000 and the lowest is $100.
At the $500 game—currently the highest game the operator spreads—has a top prize is $3000, but that is the only spot that pays out.
The $1000 game is not part of the promotion, the operator stated. However, it is not currently listed in the client anyway. Promotional spins—like the current Stars Rewards ticket game and the $22 tournament for Turbo Series, are also excluded.
Tetris + Spin & Go runs from now for six weeks, ending March 28.

Tetris® combines with Spin & Go tournaments at PokerStars in a fun promotion that sees $1.5 million paid out between February 15 and March 28.
Head to the Spin & Go lobby in the PokerStars client and you’ll see there are Tetris® Spin & Go games with buy-ins of $0.25, $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, and $500. They all play out the exact same way as a traditional Spin & Go, meaning they’re three-handed hyper-turbo tournaments where the prize pool is randomly determined before the first hand is dealt.
Pokerstars Tournament Leaderboard Points
It’s still possible to win up to $1 million in some of these game, but there are a few notable differences.
First, the virtual felt is made up of Tetris® blocks, which actually looks pretty cool. Also, the dealer button is now a Tetris® block too, and other blocks fall down the screen.
The Tetris® part of the promotion comes in the form of leaderboards. There’s a separate leaderboard for each Tetris® Spin & Go buy-in level, so 10 in total. You need to opt-in and then fire up some Tetris® Spin & Go tournaments.
Play your tournaments as you would ordinarily, but do so knowing the aim of the game is to clear lines, just like in Tetris®. The number of lines you clear depends on your Spin & Go multiplier and your finishing position in the tournament.
Your level increases each time you clear five lines. This results in you earning even more points so you can climb up your leaderboard faster.
Pokerstars Tournament Results Database
How Many Lines Do I Clear?
| 1st | 2nd | 3rd | |
| 2x | 4 | 3 | 2 |
| 3x | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| Over 3x | 2 | 1 | 1 |
As you can see from the table above, finishing in 1st place in a Tetris® Spin & Go that has a 2x multiplier clears four lines. Just playing a tournament earns you points.
How Do You Earn Points?
The number of leaderboard points you earn is based on your finishing position and your current level. You start off earning 40 points for clearing one line when you’re at Level 0, but this increases to 840 points if you manage to climb to Level 20, which is the highest level you can achieve.
It is possible to earn up to 25,200 points per Tetris® Spin & Go tournament, as you can see in this table.

The Tetris® Playing Field – Avoid Hitting Game Over
There’s an extra element to this promotion that you have to be aware of at all times. PokerStars calls it the Playing Field.
Just like in a game of Tetris® where it is Game Over when the blocks reach the top of the screen, it can be game over for you if you go on a streak of out of the money finishes!
Finishing in first place either improves your Playing Field status or makes zero change to it. Finish in second place, however, and your Playing Field status either stays the same or actually worsens, which is also the case when you finish in third place.
Your table, or playing field, is green in color when your Playing Field is in a good state. It turns amber when it is worsening and turns red when you’re in big trouble. Failing to win when your playing field is red could see you reach Game Over which means you cannot earn any more leaderboard points until the next day!
The changes to your playing field status depend on your current level.
| 1st place | 2nd place | 3rd place | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Level | Improve | No Change | No Chance | Worsen | No Change | Worsen |
| 0-1 | 100% | 0% | 100% | 0% | 100% | 0% |
| 2-5 | 80% | 20% | 80% | 20% | 50% | 50% |
| 6-9 | 60% | 40% | 60% | 40% | 40% | 60% |
| 10-13 | 40% | 60% | 40% | 60% | 30% | 70% |
| 14-17 | 20% | 80% | 20% | 80% | 200% | 80% |
| 18-20 | 20% | 80% | 20% | 80% | 10% | 90% |
