Slots Temple Tournaments

Oh I thought that was finishing at 1am.

Nice managed to hold on to 6th place for £35.

Pretty crazy that 1st and 2nd had exactly the same score. Really sucks to lose out on £100 when 1 point more would have won it. I forget how it decides who is in front when scores are the same. I beat out someone who had the exact same score as me. I know I had it before them so maybe it is in order of when you earn it.

Good thing I spiked this one because Le Bandit is being typical hacksaw and doing absolutely nothing for me lol :D

Nice result, hopefully you got or will get something out of it.
 
I just hit a £7k+ plus bonus from a £2.50 stake in one of the tournaments and didnt break the top 10! I also hit a £2.6k bonus yesterday from a £3 stake and didn't even break into the top 40!
Where the hell are these bonuses when I use real money?
I'm guessing tournament play must run on a different type of mechanism to real cash play?

I always presumed that as soon as I enter a tourney, the outcome of all the spins has already been decided and it's just spinning them out for visual purposes.

Could be completely and utterly wrong though!

The requirements for most tournaments are stupid. The monthly ones you basically need 1 500x for sure and then another 300x + to manage to get into the prizes. From 40 spins 2 monster hits... GL with that!

Plus if it was 'challenge' not risk then unfortunately after 500x the win size doesn't matter. You can hit max win 20,000x and you still get the exact same 500,000 points as a 500x gives.

Some of the RTPs in these tournaments are stated as being 666%.

In fact, in the game info for the Temple Tumble £1k special last week, it said the RTP was 1000%.

Maybe SlotsTemple have got bespoke versions of the game specifically designed for tournament play?
 
Had something happen in the Golden Lake 1p tourny today, which was somewhat irritating.

Last spin, I get a tease. Scatters on middle of reel 1 and top of reel 2.
Before the spin has even finished, I get the popup telling me my spins have been completed.
So I naturally assumed the tease would end up not triggering the feature. Sure enough, it didn't.
And I (quite rightly imo) expected the "second chance" to deliver the same result.

But it DID trigger. And this is the bit that annoys me.

Unfortunately, because the popup had already "darkened" the game screen,
I was unfairly prevented from playing out the feature.

That should not be allowed, because you have a scenario where someone gets unfairly punished simply for triggering a feature via a second chance respin on the last spin of their allocation.

If this was another Big Bass game eg Big Bass Blast, where there is no second chance mechanism on a failed tease, this would not be an issue.
But other Big Bass games which have this second chance respin mechanic should imho not be used in tournament play.

Yeah is a ongoing issue if you get a bonus on the last spin you won't get it as the spins run out had it over 5 times in pragmatic games bonus on last spin but can't play the bonus as the spins run out told @Slots Temple a few times said they are working on it but it still happend to me last night so I'm not playing the pragmatic tournaments as I've missed out on loads of points all the time 😕

Just one of the times this has happend to me the other day screenshot below you can see the bonus in the background but game ended before I could play it.

Just happened to me too.

Extremely annoying. Seems like it's exactly like the last spin bug video slots has on their battles.

Not that it makes it any less frustrating but I suppose everyone is in the same boat so it's even playing field in that regard.
 
I won the 1p tourney yesterday, which is a nice start to the week and managed to withdraw it after spinning some slots.

Won it about 2030hrs last night. Hit a 1500/1 shot in the base game. Only 2300 entries which also helped.

Risk tourney, Razor Ways.

Think it's my third win on that tourney, possibly second. I don't keep records.
 
It's been nearly a year of entering xpoints and I have yet to finish in the money on any. As time goes on and more people join the site (but place payouts stay the same) it only gets harder to actually hit. The EV on these are so miserably low at this point even though they're free to enter they're not worth doing. I was going to keep going until I got 1 win but after a year of entries to win maybe £1? Eh.


Probably just going to stick to the 1p event and any special with bumper prize pools. Too many free players taking advantage of the promo nowadays for the others.
 
I think I'm done with xpoint tourmanents way too many players and too few prizes. wouldnt hurt to make one or two of them into risk too as nearly every tournament being challenge is getting so boring.

also hacksaw and WMS/barcrest games are all shite which may be a factor.
This is true. About a year ago, you were almost guaranteed a place in the xPoint tournies, especially in 3, 4 or 5. Now there are so many players. I think I placed in just one of them in September and got £2 for the effort of spinning in them all and all 30 days. Actually I did miss 1 or 2 days.
 
The EV on these are so miserably low at this point even though they're free to enter they're not worth doing.
Seeing as they are free and if you have loads of time on your hands or you are ridiculously bored or you are totally skint or have zero social life, I guess spinning for a chance at a few quid is ok for some (myself included 😑), but i know what you mean and if you don't like the slot it does become somewhat repetitive and arduous.
 
I am definitely scaling back on them quite significantly this month.

I got my 5 Xpoints tickets locked up quicker than pretty much everyone on the entire site in September (bar a couple of the usual suspects like jaylee).

And what did it achieve? A 77th place in the Marlin Atlantis. That's it. A frickin' chest.

The Temple Tumble 1k tourny was a complete disaster for me. 2 features from 1500 spins.
From the maximum 50 entries, I didn't even make the top 360, only getting a Top 400 spot twice.

Likewise with the 1k Huff Puff Blow Your Hard Hat House Down or whatever TF it was called.
To be fair to that game, I think I did manage at least one feature in every attempt, but the vast majority were getting no higher than 25x. My best score didn't even crack the Top 750.

And the Bandit 5k special (so far at least) is going even worse to such an extent I'm not even sure I want to bother trying, despite the very generous free shot it provides.
After 17 tries, I haven't even hit the top 1300.

It also didn't help that a large selection of the games used last month absolutely suck beyond words.

Big Bass Blast? Danny Dollar? 5 Wild Buffalo? GODAWFUL GAMES.
Beetlejuice Megaways? EVEN MORE GODAWFUL THAN THE THREE ABOVE...COMBINED.

And looking at this month's schedule doesn't exactly inspire any urge to acquire any of those xpoints tickets quickly.

I'll say one thing for these tournaments though. When you have played almost every day for a month and seen just how rubbish most of the games are (even in small daily doses), any notion of giving them a try with real money evaporates pretty damn quick.

Not even SlotsTemple offering them at the highest RTP (something they fully deserve to be praised for) is enough to convince me to take a punt on them.

It's a pretty damning indictment of the releases these big name providers are foisting upon us.
I've seen less garbage at a landfill site.
 
I get a lot of crashes and page freezes on the Huff n Puff slots, rarely get through a game without issues.
Bankers Breach Collision Ways was THE ABSOLUTE WORST for this.

I NEVER managed to load this game successfully at the first attempt.
And even on the successful second (if I was really lucky), third or beyond attempts, it took nearly four minutes to load. By which time, I have already long checked out mentally.

A common feature in these Shite And Blunder games seems to be some kind of "moving part" or "animation that won't sit the bloody f*ck down because it has the worst case of ants in its pants or overzealous application of itching powder to its groin area" that would seem to act as some kind of "device resources drainer". For example....

The clouds in that bloody awful Zeus Olympus And Beyond game. The Pandara's Boxes doing that totally unnecessary impression of a spinning top don't help either.

Then there is the feature wheel, which more often than not CRASHED the game completely before it came to a stop!

Playing that weekly tourny back in August actually AGED me.
I've NEVER been so glad to see the back of a tourny in all my life.
Well....except for the Bankers Breach weekly tournament earlier that month. Speaking of which....

...then there is the black and white striped bar that separates the first three reels from the last three on Bankers Breach. More utterly pointless animation that adds ZERO VALUE WHATSOEVER to the user experience. Just another means by which to offer more sluggish, jittery, bug-ridden looking game play.
Smooth spins? What's one of them on a Shite And Blunder game? I haven't seen one.

And then the numerous wheels on the Huff N Puff games. And the wolf doing his huffing and puffing, wagging his tail, disappearing from the screen then re-emerging blah blah blah

Just FAR TOO MANY of these Shite And Blunder titles are literally infested with these completely unnecessary moving parts and resource hogging animations that really add NOTHING to the user experience of the game and merely serve to result in jittery, bug ridden looking play.

As a result, they have already lost any chance of seeing a dime of my money.
Bad games that play badly are bad enough.
Bad games that RUN badly are even worse. Because you can't even enjoy a winning session if your feel that your PC or laptop is under constant threat of freezing or completely crashing the f**k out at a moment's notice.

Given the advancement of technology in recent years, some developers are doing an absolutely appalling job of making games that even meet the most basic levels of smooth running.

If you tried playing these games on a Windows 98 PC, you'd soon find yourself in a police cell waiting to be grilled by the coppers on DEEP suspicion of insurance fraud, along with being actually already charged with arson after your house just got burnt to a fucking crisp after an electrical fire.

Do these developers even perform the MOST BASIC TESTING of their games for runtime issues and so on?
It appears they absolutely do not.
 
Brilliant.

And agree with you on Big Bass Blast (absolutely atrocious), Danny Dollar, 5 Wild Buffalo, Beetlejuice Megaways.

Extremely painful to play, it was a very long month, a real slog.
It was a long month. Was glad it was only thirty days instead of thirty-one. :laugh:

Well done on winning the 1p tourny by the way. Nice job....or nice dumb luck, if you prefer. :p
 
All those huff n puff games are poor. They all seem to kill my phone at various points or slow to a judder so much. Not so bad on desktop , but still generally crap games. For all the graphical whizz bang, they never really seem to do or pay anything much.

Not a fan of the hacksaw games either, all those 'Le' games. Le crap as far as I'm concerned.

I like the free tournaments and slots temple in general but whenever I see tournaments with these games my eyes are rolling :laugh:
 
even dead of a wild which i though had some potential managed only 200x with multiple wildlines, and the 'LE' games which are all slightly different but still basically all the same and are just a chore to play.

and dont even get me started on rainbow riches or beetlejuice or those 100 line mega reels ones.

My turn to bink the daily.

I don't even know how. Just entering pressing spacebar on another laptop while I was watching videos not paying attention to my scores this afternoon.

Just seen now the email and was like oh wtf I did top 25, opened it up and to my surprise it was 1st place no less. Had absolutely no idea, didn't even think I'd had a single good round even.

I saw you were leading early yesterday evening but I didn't want to jinx it by saying anything.:D

Another good result for a CM member.
 
Just played the Shighty Kack Shight Shighty Reels Weekly.

I alway set this to Shighty Reels £2 spins (£1 base) ie shighty reels with card suit symbols included.

After getting a grand total of one feature yesterday (which went for less than 5x) from my 50 spins,
I thought to myself "well at least it won't play as bad as that when I try tomorrow".

Famous last words.

I got five features in the space of 9 spins and a total of EIGHT features from the 50 spins.
They paid the following amounts...

1.8x (spin 6), 1.4x (spin 7), 0.6x (spin 9), ZERO (spin 12), ZERO (spin 14), ZERO (spin 28), ZERO (spin 39), and 2.6x (spin 46).
And ALL EIGHT features had at least one tease for a retrigger, none of which came in.

So despite getting all those features, I STILL somehow managed to get 36 dead spins in a row!

One great thing about these tournaments is that you find out for free if a game is worth playing with real money or if it to be avoided at all costs.

Guess which (ever-increasing) list this game is going on?

Then again, it is made by Barstewardcrest, so I really shouldn't have been shocked. But I was.

I have been cutting back bigtime on the tournies this month (only just hit 50k xpoints this morning, in comparison to last month, when I had reached 125k to get all my xpoints tickets unlocked in just 6 days).

Clearly, I haven't cut down enough, if this is the hot garbage I am going to be served up....

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
 
I played that black knight game mid week , think it was the daily.. i had one bonus shortly before my allotted spins ran out. It paid nothing in the first few spins, then dropped 3 wilds, connecting about 70% of the screen with the top symbol, got me over 300x and 300,000 points. Managed to hang on for £10 which was nice, but wouldn't play that game normally though as im not a fan.

(did get another good score on the temple game Friday night and also won a fiver. Been a decent few days on slots temple tournaments!
 
Mighty Black Knight is sooooo slow. Can't skip the win count, clunky, just awful.

Going to be a long day.
It's beyond dreadful.
As soon as I saw that was the 1p tournament today, I went "NOPE. Not getting involved".

Did 1 entry just to unlock my Hex tournament ticket because I was only 250 xpoints away.
Got the requisite number of dead spins to get the 250 points, got my ticket and promptly sodded off.

If dunover was still doing his slot of the year thread, Shighty Black Shight would be an automatic candidate for Turkey of the year.

98% RTP on Premium Play my arse.

There are some games totally unsuitable for the tournaments due to their gameplay. This is one and there are a few others,possibly the Rainbow Riches franchise,especially their megaways game.
 
Not sure why this slot keeps getting promoted.

I've managed to do 2 or 3 entries, not sure if I can face anymore although I do have a train journey today so will possibly try then.

Will be flabbergasted if this reaches 3000 entries which I guess is good though, if you want to go for the ton.
 
Won the 1p for a third time, only needed 192x bet, playing at maximum 'risk' of course.

I really hate that they have reenabled 'unlimited' bet sizes. It's no fun at all having to do like that and do 1 spin 25 times trying to get a lucky bonus.

I tried £25 bets to give myself 4 spins each. I got a bonus too that paid around 180-190x but didn't even get top 25 with it! So you literally have to go all in, no fun at all. Takes ages reloading a new entry and changing the bet, then if you get a tiny hit slowly lowering the bet size to empty the balance. £5 caps way better.
 
Managed 13 entries (having to try and connect 2 or 3 times per entry as well, as it doesn't connect very well on mobile) so far, hit absolutely nothing and I feel totally violated. :laugh:

Please Slots Temple, never again, unless you can either increase the speed on the reels and allow win count skips, it;s utterly brutal.

**EDIT

Desktop does play a lot better.
