Need your input: Casinomeister Monthly Comps - Your Input Needed!

[Webzcas]

With just eleven days left remaining of March, I am asking all of you for suggestions as to what you would like to see for next month's Casinomeister €1000 Competition.

Now the comps have proven very popular and @dunover and @conker really did some great work in creating some truly engaging and entertaining comps. So I need your help as rather than rehashing previous comps, I would like to try and mix things up a bit so as the comps do not become stale.

Unlike the comps kindly sponsored by the likes of Pragmatic Play and Gamomat, with the Casinomeister Monthly Competition we have artistic licence as it were. So what would you like to see and more importantly take part in?

Let me know in this thread. I cannot promise that all suggestions will be enacted, but your input is very much valued and consideration will be given to all ideas and suggestions!

Many thanks in advance.

How about a highest x win on a game from a selection (up to 10) chosen by CM?
Members to vote for their fave, and the poll winner is the slot to go for.
Real or demo mode. (no bonus buys)
Cheers.

 

[sufferinsilence]

I quite liked the blackjack comp and it would be nice to have another non-slots one.

Perhaps something like 4 of a kind on video poker. I'm not very creative in that sense.

 

[lockinlove]

Any wins over 50x account for an entry. No extra bets or bonus buys. Min bet .30. Any slot allowed.

This allows for a more natural contest of people who get lucky and post their hit when actually gambling instead of depositing just to try and gain entries on min bet. Will also likely limit the work on your end so people arent spamming endless .10 betting.

Post all 5 of a kinds with a min bet of .25. Max 5 entries a day. Random draw at end of the month with all entries entered. 1 bonus entry if the 5OAK is over 50x. Min 5 reel slot.


Post your best bonanza or who wants to be a millionaire hits. 50x min to qualify. On non bonus buy version of bonanza/millionaire slot only.

 

[teckiwi]

Some kind of Joker(April Fools) comp, slot must have jokers in it etc. Multiple entry bigwin etc like last month.

 

[Mr Shine]

Whatever it is, please keep it entry based with a maximum entry limit. (Someone plugging away can achieve maximum potential within a reasonable time by getting maximum entries) not leaderboard type comps where the whales just win it.

I like the idea of stepping away from slots again.

Maybe a BJ "bad beat" comp where your 21/BJ loses/ties to dealer BJ.

 

[Jono777]

Most wild lines on DoA in a month please

The entry ones are good if you are playing with the intent to make a longterm profit by playing the bare minimum. Really boring for me and does not encourage you to play it more. I think the Feb comp was great but it was crazy to see 10th be 4300x or whatever for 55eur.

I think the idea of 5oaks and/or 50x for an entry is interesting but the min bet should remain at 10c/p/equivalent so everyone on CM has a chance. I know 25 or 30c might not seem that much but it makes a huge difference for a lowroller. It's also less enticing as a whole to be able to win, say, €100 if you need a "big" bankroll to even be able to compete.

 

[Downsman]

I had to sit the St Paddies Day comp out..25p spins on a slot with a brutal
base is too steep for me. So, yeah..whatever is chosen min spins please.

 

[Wait!What?]

I really liked the Jan and feb comps of multiplier ones. The only thing I didn't like was the swapping rule. Its like the competition benefited people with the biggest budget.
If possible please remove the swap rule and everything else is just perfect.
The 10 cents minimum bet is perfect.

I agree.

Just trying to find way to deter the same group from winning/placing over and over while other forum members do not get prizes ever. They have been here decades and have contributed. They should have a shot.

Sitting all day on a casino min betting endlessly constantly favors one group. We need to weed that out somehow so others have a shot too. Im sure 300 euro would mean alot to some of these folks who have been on this forum forever. Yet, they never make the top 10.



Min bet sounds fine to me but maybe cap entries per day at like 10 or something. If everyone gets their 10..awesome. Anyone has a chance. If some people dont get their full 10, then the people who committed more to the contest has a higher chance.

It would help control this sitting all day on casinos min-betting and give other members a chance.

Moving forward I feel like for biggest win for the month, we remove the extra bet on all slots. Again that just favors people sitting on a casino all day min betting and others do not have a chance.

Either way, it does not affect me. Im perfectly fine doing $1-$2 spins during contests. Just thinking of all the others who seem a bit discouraged they never have a chance.

I find comps that include demo mode and bonus buys very offputting. For me playing in demo is only for testing out a new slot and sitting there for hours playing demo is surely only going to benefit those who are skint or are addicted to gaining as much as they can for nothing.
You just need to check out the competition tourists that only post in the comps to see that.
However I do understand the owners need to attract more traffic which throws up a conundrum for those who moderate the comps

I agree. Get rid of the demo stuff for various reasons. 10 cent min bet everyone on a gambling forum SHOULD be able to handle. If not, go join a car racing forum! ;p

demo mode does not help get casinomeister sign ups or commission. It allows people to angle this website for free money!

Lets build our signs and go outside and protest Colin. NO MORE DEMO! NO MORE DEMO!

I have just concocted my sign to fight for the right to win free money. Will this do?

I'm not good at coming up with these sorts of suggestions but I would like to ask we keep away from competitions that are open ended (Tallying over 30 days, unlimited entries etc). It just encourages unhealthy behaviour chasing the top spots.

I'm also in favour of having more competitions allow demo mode, simply evens the playing field between people who can throw hundreds at a competition chasing whatever it is vs people playing on a tiny budget who are priced out of competing. On top of this being demo mode would allow for some more wacky competitions that wouldn't be realistic with real money.

Demo money play is surely restricted to CM comps because there would be zero benefit for casinos or providers to run a comp.

I thought this thread was asking for suggestions for the CM competition, not provider comps?

Often CM comps are the only comp of the month which is offputting to folk who do not have the time or hate wasting their time playing demo while others will play demo 24/7 in order to gain a position

 

[Wait!What?]

@Webzcas what about casinos that qualify for comps?
Are we going to have a permanent rule that only CM listed casinos are allowed?
Previously it was discussed that non CM casinos that have Curacao, mga or ukgc license are allowed.

I remember a time when we were all warned not to play at any Curacao casino ever because it was cowboy country. What changed?

Fair enough but I'd counter that a tournament where people with the bigger budgets and have access to turbo/auto play get a huge advantage over those who don't is equally offputting to people. The total X tournament last month was miserable because I had to do all the spins slowly and manually whereas people in other countries can stick it on turbo/auto go away for 5 minutes then check if they've got a bonus while I'm stuck there for hours and hours spinning to get the same thing they can with almost no input at all.

If people consider doing demo mode with the chance to win cash pizes RISK FREE a waste of their time then better odds who those who don't

Remembering that CM only benefit from members using the links to casinos and playing real money. Freebie travellers have every right to do their thing but there has to be a point where they are beaten off at the pass

What about Swedish, Dutch, Belgian, Ontarian,... licenses? A lot of countries (or provinces when talking about Canada) have their own gaming authorities which are just as valid as a UKGC or MGA license.

I think rather than allowing certain licenses, ban the ones that are proven untrustworthy.

Someone told me at the pub that Belgium was not a real country?

Hahahaha, I expected and pictured an Uncle Sam poster but the one here was close enough to my thought @Webzcas

Perhaps more live casino comps. The "Have A Heart" was nice, roulette comps took a lot of grinding for one specific number and highest x just feels like it's exclusive for members with fat wallets. Watch out for @ESCJAMIE! I hear he's living the life but quite scary to us penny pushers.

Hybrid live games like Lightning Roulette, Crazy Time, Cash Collect Roulette Live, Funky Time? Providers like Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Playtech and their respective roulette/wheels.

Any bet regardless if one or multiple segments are covered per game round the bonus that triggered your bet is the resulting win. So if for example in CT's Cash Hunt there is a 500x and your pick from all the objects is that 500x it'll be your highest x for live games. Of course it's anyone's game with these wheels and roulette tables since bonuses or numbers themselves can be multiplied prior to entering them.

I'll adapt to any of your rules @Webzcas so long as it's not that "Double Down After Splitting" comp.

 

[PeenyBunslinger]

Did you ever consider doing a bingo card style competition with a variety of objectives. E.g, hit a number straight up in roulette, spin an upgraded bonus on a Hacksaw slot, choose the highest paying flapper in a Crazy Time bonus, land a triple at Sic Bo, a suited blackjack, etc.

I think this is a very important point and something I thought about a few times during earlier contest as I learned the majority of entrants were in fact playing from the UK.
Balance permitted, non-UK players can just leave it on all day if so, autospinning at lightning speed, while a UK player under UKGC rules never stood a chance to keep up with such volume so the main thing would be to find a concept that is fair for everyone and I think recent contests, like the Gamomat one which doesn't require much to get some entries in and the winners are drawn, are the fairest ones yet.

I have autoplay available but for (some of) the comps I tend to just click because otherwise you might miss an entry

Dutch players don't have autoplay either but there's *ahum* "tools" available that can help one out. I guess most that play alot and don't have autoplay anymore know and use them.

Awesome to read this!! Congrats again!

With regards the suggestions, please keep them coming. I can't promise all will be acted upon, but there are some great ideas already, thank you!

 

[Lemon]

How about a nice Dead or Alive comp at £0.09 a spin? No ante bets, feature buys or any of that bollocks.

To enter simply post your biggest x win in the usual way within 24 hours of getting it and be placed on the leaderboard. If you beat your score later in the month you can send that in to replace your previous best score. Your name will only appear once on the list.

The prizes would be distributed at the end of the designated month in the following way -

1st place - €200
2nd place - €125
3rd place - €75
4th place - €60
5th place - €40

Here's the interesting bit -

1st-10th place - into a random draw for 5 x €50 prizes
1st - 20th place - into a random draw for 10 x €25 prizes

So in theory you've got a chance of a prize even in 20th place. Also, those in the top-5 have a chance to win 3 prizes (max win €275), and those in 6th-10th place could get lucky and win 2 prizes (max win €75).

Let's see if we can crash those NetEnt servers!

 

[Webzcas]

All these ideas are great. However, I have just six days to get next month's comp live, so very unlikely will be in a position to run with any of them until May's comp at the earliest.

So to this extent I am considering running one of the previous comps again.

Whilst no doubt disappointing, I do however have some more good news - There is also going to be another comp that kicks off on the 30th March. More details in tomorrow's forum mailer!

 

[Lemon]

I've got another idea - Bonus Bullseye. Here's how it works...

Three values are picked at random from the following ranges -

• GOLD - 1000-5000x
• SILVER - 500-1000x
• BRONZE - 250-500x

Let's say the following target values come out -

• 3789x
• 632x
• 417x

The aim of the game is to play 'your favourite' slots as you normally would over the course of the month and try to win values as close to the targets as possible, above or below, and post your screenshots in the usual way. Those players getting closest to the targets win prizes. Prizes would be as follows for each range target -

Gold - €100 for the 5 closest values to the target
Silver - €50 for the 5 closest values to the target
Bronze - €25 for the 10 closest values to the target
------------------------------------------
Total Prize Pool - €1000.00

Here's the interesting bit - the first person to score a bullseye by landing a bonus that goes for the exact amount of a target value gets their prize doubled and the person in 5th place on the Gold or Silver leaderboard, or in 10th place on the Bronze leaderboard (depending on what target value gets hit) forfeits their prize.

No ante bets, feature buys or any of that bollocks. 10p minimum bet.

Cheers for reading

 

[Wait!What?]

Can the duration of CM comps be lowered to three weeks?
You could start them on the first day of the month and end them a week before 30th or you could start the comps in the second week and end it on the last day of the month.

Can consider this request, but from the outset unlikely to be approved I am afraid. Purely based on a man power issue ie forum staff members recently being reduced.

Not ruling it out in time, but as it stands currently not likely we will go with.

 

[teckiwi]

Picking a title where theres a 777x/999x/1000x bonus you can hit would be fun, split off a section of the prizepool to people who hit that win to share.

 

[ESCJAMIE]

I like the idea of having to a hit a random x win of between 0 and 1000

 

[teckiwi]

Problem is slots are weighted like a lottery game so seasoned players know what titles will pay a 437x etc(or can google it easily and find a similar xwin posted elsewhere then play those titles trying to claim the top prize). Especially if players can pick the xwin value they are chasing.

The x win would be set by the @Webzcas maybe 5 x amount wins ranging from 0/1000x and each time we got one we get 1 entry max 5. Any decimal point wins would be rounded up or down depending on the decimal point. Slots give out thousands of different wins all the time just cause someone could find a win of 437x on a slot don’t mean they are more likely going to get that win by playing that said slot? Also I think all these competitions have some advantage for season players anyways so there’s no difference, take the highest multiplier for example people can google games with highest x win to see what slots they should be playing so I don’t see a difference.

 

[Webzcas]

If you have any more ideas or suggestions, please add them to this thread by a week tomorrow -Friday 10th April.

Reason being I want to get May's Competition setup and ready several weeks before the end of April.

 

[Webzcas]

Ok last chance to have your say. After tomorrow night, I will be working on formulating May's Comp

 

[Wait!What?]

Btw are we getting rid of the swaps?

 

[Webzcas]

If you mean like as in the MM Comp such as running currently for April, this will be the last Multiplier Mayhem comp for a while, yes

 

[Wait!What?]

@Webzcas so is the next one going to be a random draw contest?

 

[Webzcas]

No I think a leaderboard ideally. But the jury is still out

 

[teckiwi]

Can we require fullscreen images for all PC entries(no cropped entries)? It's way too easy for people to cheat and crop a years old screenshot of a win and represent it as their own/a recent win. I know it's only for ~100eur etc but its open to abuse.

 

[Wait!What?]

There should be a rule regarding forum contribution as well. There are few people whose only contribution is submitting screenshots and one random post. Members should have a minimum post requirement(every month) to enter comps and contest post should not be counted. Players should be allowed to complete the post requirements before the contest ends.
Last year @conker said - "A
reminder to everyone taking part in Casinomeister comps. We fully expect those that are taking part in comps to be active in the Casinomeister community. It is not fair to all the other members if you are simply visiting the forum to enter our comps.

If it comes to our attention that a member is only taking part in comps, then we may choose to put you in the Dog House - which means no access to the comps until further notice."
