Stumbled on this today today on the JF blog: sounds good - $0 buy in, one prize of $2,500

actually the tournament doesn't open until tomorrow so that's why you couldn't get in

I played the "Grapevine" tournament yesterday. The good thing is that there isn't any investment involved, the bad news is that it is only 5 minutes, and the reels seem to spin looonnnggggerr than usual (coincidence? I think not)! I also got the three rams with about 10 seconds left, so only got one of the bonus spins before the session ended. (Sucks) I played some of the smaller denomination tournaments as well, but about the same result.

Personally, I'm not too interested in this new thing. I guess it is o.k. to goof around with the free ones, but there are also ones that you can enter for $2, 5, 10, 20 etc., each. The top payout for the person that finishes first in these paid events is so measily, that you are far better off getting a fair to medium size hit just playing as usual at the regular games. For example, the $10 game had a top payout of around $15=20 I believe. Playing these for cash is in my opinion a waste of time. The $2 one I saw had a top payout of a whole $6!! I'd rather gamble if I'm going to gamble. The free ones are o.k. though, but I'm sure I will only play those when I happen to log in and it is about to start. There is a two hour time period between most of the free games. Good intention I guess by JF, but just not that fascinating to me.

My experience with the Grape Vine one was pretty crappy. I woke up and got to the computer with less than 1 minute left before it started (and therefore registration would have closed) so I thought that was good.

But about 30 seconds into it, I got the lovely "Sorry, we have a casino error" popup, which closes the casino after you click OK.

I reopened it, and all the tournaments were gone from the listing.

Closed and reopened it again, same thing.

I checked tonight and the tournaments were back; I ended up in 800th place or so. They really ought to work the kinks out of these things before they offer big prizes like that. This isn't the first time I've gotten that generic error message. I know it's free and you get what you pay for and all, but still.

Hi everyone,

It's great to hear some feedback on the tournament from people who actually played. Please don't let your negative experiences be a reflection of me! I would like to report that we are working with MGS to fix some of these bugs and enhance the gaming experience.

I am happy to say the free tournament was deemed a success and that there will be more special blogger only activities coming in the near future so stay tuned....

All the best,

I just tried to play another of the tomb raider free tournaments. I was registered, and when I went to load the game to begin, I got an error message and was logged off. When I got back on, I wasn't registered anymore and I couldn't get into the game. This gimmick is backfiring on you David. If it doesn't work, what's the point? Like I said in my earlier post, it isn't that great of a deal anyway and it is free. Can't understand why you would risk irritating people like me that spend ALOT at your Wild Jacks site. Anyway, no big deal, but I guess this thing has too many bugs for me to keep playing. Off to a competitor to play now.

Well well, you can make amends for this by having a slots tournament for casinomeister members only. With me, guys? Hah!
