New RTG tournies---Fair or not?

[silcnlayc]

Ok, I love a tourney just as anyone else does. I will even pay to play them if the pot is decent just to get a little competition in...(I have always loved a nice competition)

So, is it fair that right in the middle of a free spin it ends without finishing off the free spins? I mean, c'mon...the bonus rounds are hard to get in the first place but to end a tourny in the middle of free spins is out of whack IMO...

It is not a players fault that the reel slows to a crawl on the last reel whenever you hit 2 scatters during this free spin to waste the free spin time..is it?? Where is the STOP button I ask???

Geezes..I was having a great time playing these for the short while I have been playing but I guess..with such a low return on them and then getting the free spins unfinished...what's the point in playing any of these games at any of these casinos anymore..yes..I am pissed..it was only 5 bucks but damn...how in the world can you compete when the only thing you have to catch the leader gets stopped right in it's tracks??

So...is it fair or not...free spins unused when time runs out? Free spin stopped in the middle of a spin?

I agree totally...I've been burned more than once playing a tourney, finally hit the free spins and run out of time I think they should let the free spins finish

Ok I understand how both of you feel however how would you like it if you were winning and tourny ended yes I won and then 5 min later you find out you didnt because someone else was able to finish there free spins. Sorry but I think the only way to keep it fair is times up game over. Just so you know I dont really play rtg tournys I would do mircros a alot -

I disagree. If you are in the MIDDLE of the spin, it should let you finish that one and credit you...I also believe you should be able to finish those free spins since it already sucked away all your time hesitating on many of them...everone knows the only way one has a chance of even getting close to winning is hitting a bonus round...and then those are taken away from you..??? I don't think so...

I guess I need to quit these too..what is the point when you know the odds are stacked against you once again??

I feel the same way ans cpdnd31 if I was one of the top scorers, and someone was out of time, but got to finish their freespins and beat me, I think I would be more upset. I think everyone should have whatever time is allowed, nothing more, nothing less.

I think that if the freespins add to your balance as you go along, then fine. If you have to wait until a round finishes then not as cool.

Just curious, has anyone hit a RJ during a RTG tourney?

Sorry, I have to agree with Cpdnd31 also, when the time is up, it should be game over. The sad, sucky fact is with RTG, I can't imagine a decent tourney with all the dead spins it habitually gives and wouldn't you know it, you'd get the free spins when time is running out. Not much different than having a good run until you are nearing the end of your wagering requirement. Kind of like reverse torture.

And that would really frost a player to hit a random on a tourney! Jackopt in the sink, oops, who pulled the plug???!!!!!

I have hit 2 RJ on the tourneys, once at iNetBet, and once at Bet Phoenix.

Still lost.

Too funny...I have never hit one in funplay either..go figure..

My husband and I actually were talking about that while I was playing the tourney...how, even in fun play, I can't catch one in all these years...

That is exactly what has happened to me almost every time..within the last minute I would catch the bonus...this is why I feel it is unfair...I see these scores in the tens of thousands where players get to play out their spins when they hit...why shouldn't those that hit late be allowed to play out theirs?? I mean the worst of it is IMO is that they actually cut off the spin in the spin mode and you don't even get credit for the one already spinning..

I mean, you hit the bonus round and get your free spins but I am not allowed to finish mine?? That is not even close to fair..because we all KNOW to even get close to winning a tourney you have to hit a bonus round to even get close to the top..

i have hit 2 rjs in the rtg tournies also, but they are never enough to place However i did win 2nd place in the 10000 freeroll, and won 1550.00 not to bad for a free tourney also the game was loose caboose and i hit free spins 8 times, with 2 of those being 4 cabooses and the 8th time came right at the end, so i didn't get credit for those, but hey i won any way woohooooo, thank goodness there wasn't any rebuys
