royal vegas......i assume it's at any multi-player microgaming site if more than one are operating already

i inquired to make sure my slots tourney alias did not have to match my microgaming poker alias.....they're totally seperate according to the agent i spoke with at RV

I would take you on, but Royal Vegas is screwed up, and coughs and splutters along at less than half the correct speed, and then crashes my PC on exit.
I now find that all these crashes have totally messed up everything, and I am getting "hard drive full" errors even though I seem to have 12Gigs left!!!

Looks like an OS reinstall beckons

They're not actually "freerolls" in the strictest sense of the word. When you run out of time, you have the option of a "rebuy" that gives you extra time. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that most of the winners took advantage of the rebuy feature.

this tourney had 500 players. with 1st place only worth $15, i doubt anyone is going to rebuy for $5. (as the saying goes, i wouldn't do that with KK's money)

So 500 players at $5 a pop with a top prize of $15 ?!? Did I read that right? Or was the initial entry free?

No, no... Free entry. If you use up your time, you can rebuy @ $5. The more players, the slower the spins.

No, it was a freeroll. This is MG, not RTG.

When I tried, it was impossible to use up my initial chip allocation, I thought the rebuys just gave more chips if you lost the first lot. My impression is that the winner is decided by summing accumulated payouts, and has nothing to do with whether you win or lose on your initial balance. Depending on the cost and rules of rebuys, it could well be worth it for those tournaments that offer larger prizes. There are a few of these, with prizes over $500.

It's all about how fast your PC can operate the slot, and to this end, it is a waste of time attempting to take on this challenge on this old crock of s***!

However, I am prepared to kick your cyberass on my new DELL Dimension Athlon Dual Core PC with half a Terrabyte over two hard drives, dedicated graphics card, and the ability to run FOUR MG casinos at the same time, while hardly breaking into a sweat.

I have established that all these MG casino bugs have completely corrupted the FAT on this machine, and it is not 12Gigs I really have left, but a mere 300Megabytes

, barely enough for the new games on one casino. It is also likely that all the PC utilities have lied about the OK status issued when scanning my PC for faults, because of this corruption.

Anyone care to challenge me at a REAL tournament, Tomorrow at Casino Action?
