New Weekender Rules & Game

[wayram]

MG have changed the weekender game from Tomb Raider to Loaded, with a first prize of 10k 2nd 6k and 3rd 4k...that is the only prizes no longer will the first 100 get a prize but it is still $20 to continue with 5 rebuys. The feeder rules have changed also ,there seems to be two options to get in . free weekend feeder with 5 chances not 30 like before and also a $2 weekend feeder with 12 chances to get in. Will be interesting to see how this goes

Just had my first shot on the free weekender and got a shock, run out of coins ,you start with 5000 so if you play 500 it only gives you 10 spins and the rebuys only give you 2500 coins which is only 5 spins..You would have to be bloody lucky to get a big score with those amount of spins.

I have qualified many times from the free preliminary match but never take anything home.

These new rules are a big change for the worse. Those re-buy options mean that you have to pay much more for a chance to win anything and reducing free entry spots from 30 to 5 is quite bad too. This is probably done to increase the total money invested in the tournament while keeping the prize pool the same. I hope that this is just an experiment and they will return to the old system.

I couldn't agree more with the change being a very bad one. The freebies were not freebies anyway, you pretty much had to rebuy anyhow to get anywhere.
As for the payouts, if you ever stop to think about it and really look. Unless you placed in the top 5 in most, you never got your money back to begin with. Ex: 1000k Sky is the limit tourney ( which I might add has its limit and showed that again this weekend, never changed and many high scores which meant rebuys and or continues ) First chance free, rebuy 5.00 if you maxed out on rebuys it cost you 25.00. Even if you place in say 10th, you only got 10.00 back. Bad investment there for any player. Most are the same way, now they give less places and cost more with less time & chips... Bad mistake & I thought it was bad already. I tried to tell them what I thought but I am only 1 person. Perhaps, if people started voicing their opinions to them things might change for the paying players. We support them by remaining customers but only if the product is worth buying.

Goodluck to all playing & be sure to tell them personally what you think if you want things to stand a chance of changing.

It looks as though there are 9 prizes instead of 5 with the 1st prize being 6k, 4k,2.4k all the way to 700 for 9th. Still, this would deter many from continuing with their own money.

What a real pain..at least they done one thing right and switched to loaded.

It"s amazing , last night there was only three prizes and now there is 9, also the free game has 50000 coins and the $2 game 80000 coins. They seem to change the rules daily. Noticed on the $2 game there was only 17 players with the first 12 going through. It seems that people dont want to pay to play which makes it better for the ones that will pay to play.

Hi i just had a look at the 20k weekender again and there are only four continue play options at $10 each, so thats a saving off $60 from before.

Its the rebuy which is at $20 a pop.

When i first see these new free entry tourns i thought that they were to get a free rebuy or a free continue which would have been better all round.
