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.
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.
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.
| Level | Points for 1 Line | Points for 2 Lines | Points for 3 Lines | Points four 4 Lines |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 40 | 100 | 300 | 1,200 |
| 1 | 80 | 200 | 600 | 2,400 |
| 2 | 120 | 300 | 900 | 3,600 |
| 3 | 160 | 400 | 1,200 | 4,800 |
| n | =40*(n+1) | =100*(n+1) | =300*(n+1) | =1,200*(n+1) |
| 20 | 840 | 2,100 | 6,300 | 25,200 |
Tetris® Spin & Go Payout Table
The leaderboards payout $33,000 every day throughout the promotion making for a combined total of $1,500,000 just for playing Tetris® Spin & Go tournaments.
The $0.25, $1, $2, and $5 leaderboard payout the top 100 points earners, so you have a decent chance of walking away with a cash prize. The prizes don’t have any restrictions on them meaning you’re free to do with them as you wish.

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% |

Pokerstars Tournament Results
Here's how it works: The top 15% of finishers in each event will receive points towards the PokerStars Tournament Leader Board standings, based on the number of entrants, the tournament buy-in, and place of finish.
Note: Sit & Go tournaments with less than 40 players, satellite tournaments, heads-up tournaments, shootout tournaments, restricted-entry tournaments, private tournaments, play money tournaments, Astronomer Freerolls, Weekly Round 2 tournaments and VIP Freerolls do not count towards the rankings.
Only your 10 best results will be counted for the weekly rankings, 20 best results for the monthly rankings, and 100 best results for the yearly rankings.
The formula used to determine the total points awarded to a player (in the top 15% of finishers) for any given tournament is:
Points = 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
Where:
n is the number of entrants
k is the place of finish (k=1 for the first-place finisher, and so on)
b is the buy-in amount in US Dollars (excluding entry fee). For freerolls the buy-in is $0, and for FPP tournaments 1 FPP is counted as $0.0161. If the tournament is not a US Dollar tournament, the buy-in will be converted to US Dollars using the current exchange rate at the time the tournament begins.
Downloadable Excel sheet to calculate TLB points - leaders.xls.
Example 1: A player takes third place in a $20 tournament with a field of 150 players. Here:
n = 150, k=3, b=20
The total points awarded to this player are:
= 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
= 10 * [sqrt(150)/sqrt(3)] * [1+log(20+0.25)]
= 10 * sqrt(50) * (1+1.31)
= 10 * 7.071 * 2.31
= 163.09 (rounded up)
Example 2: A player takes 25th place in a freeroll with a field of 900 players. Here:
n = 900, k=25, b=0
The total points awarded to this player are:
= 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
= 10 * [sqrt(900)/sqrt(25)] * [1+log(0+0.25)]
= 10 * sqrt(36) * [1+(-0.60206)]
= 10 * 6 * 0.39794
= 23.88 (rounded up)
Pokerstars Tournament
Example 3: A player takes 10th place in a 200 FPP tournament with a field of 250 players. Here:
n = 250, k=10, b = 200 * 0.0161 = 3.22
Pokerstars Tournament Leaderboard Points
The total points awarded to this player are:
= 10 * [sqrt(n)/sqrt(k)] * [1+log(b+0.25)]
= 10 * [sqrt(250)/sqrt(10)] * [1+log(3.22+0.25)]
= 10 * sqrt(25) * [1+(0.540329]
= 10 * 5 * 1.540329
= 77.02 (rounded up)
