Baptism by Fire - success Slots Temple undergoing Baptism by Fire

Hey @Slots Temple

You liked my message last week but didn't reply. So I was just wondering if the things I mentioned were being considered? (Enable spacebar by default on relax) (allow someone to forfeit their risk entry rather than play out to 0.00 balance)

Also I've noticed recently those 1p dailies will often have quite a lot of unused entries out of the 3000 available. Could you not maybe increase the entry allowance from 25 to say 35? Long as it's not filling to 3000 so everyone who wants can enter I don't see an issue with letting people who want to enter more do so?

Regarding prize payouts for the 1p events. I don't know what other people think but I've always felt like it's way too top heavy. Having potentially 3000 entrants but paying out less than 1% of the field is rough odds for casual entrants.
Just a thought but something like
1st £50
2nd £25
3rd £15
4/5 £10
6-15 £5
16-29 £2
30-40 £1

That still gives 1st a sizeable chunk of the total prize pool but makes coming 2nd and 3rd less disappointing. Likewise extending down to 40 gives an extra 15 people payouts.

I'm sure there will be people who prefer the top heavy structure but at the end of the day the odds of hitting that are so tiny and flattening it doesn't actually increase/decrease your overall wins it just decreases the variance involved.

Managed to win the 1p big bass splash yesterday with 587250 points, glad it held up as my '500x' win was actually nearer to 1400x, but hit another bonus paying 80x which sealed the deal.

Hey @lukey141

Apologies for the delayed response.

All risk tournaments will soon end automatically when a players balance falls below £1. Plus until that set up is in place, we will avoid running risk tournaments that allow more than 1 entry per day (the issue you mention mainly affects risk tournaments that allow 25 entries per day).

Your other suggestions are all good but I guess slightly subjective. I 100% see why high frequency players would like those changes but I can also guarantee you that other players will not want a deeper prize pool or an increased cap on 1p tournament entries.....it's sometimes hard to find a set up that suits everyone!

I will however look to see what we can do to offer more variety....so there is something for everyone in the schedule. Plus whilst we're on the topic of "new set ups" & variety, I can tell you that following the recent introduction of Light & Wonder games to our tournament schedule, we are planning to introduce two further new game providers to our tournament schedule within June.

...so keep a look out for some great new additions shortly! One of the providers should go down particularly well with the likes of @steakfortea (based on the slots he plays / likes).

Excellent fingers crossed it hacksaw gaming or no limit would be epic as I'm sick of the sight of big bass games every day on the tournaments such boring games

 

[lukey141]

I really hope it's no limit city. So much more fun to watch than endless big bass and temple tumble lol.

Hopefully the different buy spin modes (extra chance, feature spins etc) are included for risk tournaments which will add more consideration than simply max bet and hope for a lucky hit.

Personally I'd like to see Temple Tumble go on a really long hiatus!

Just the same games over and over again big bass all variety's temple tumble and gates of Olympus prag have so many games but they pick the same old games every day why I don't bother playing the tournaments much nowadays there getting boring and same old same old I play at video slots there tournaments are better in my opinion

 

[Downsman]

Not to be overly critical, but given the hundreds of games available from Relax, Prag & Push,
a fresh selection would be most welcome. @Slots Temple

Most definitely

We added L&W to our tournaments last month & have held lots of tournaments on their games recently.

Huff N Puff, Black Knight, Rainbow Riches, Action Bank etc are all new tournament games & in the schedule this month.

Hopefully the arrival of two more tier one game providers in the coming weeks will result in the game variety being good / better.

Plus we can of course add more games from the existing providers you mention @Downsman & will do so

I like playing the Big Bass games as part of the comps. The Temple Tumble games much less so.

I'm pleased you added L&W but it really sucks their games don't have spacebar spin.

Speaking of which, will you be able to change relax so that the 'spacebar spin' option is enabled by default when you start the tournament rather than having to first enable it in the options menu?
