Hey guys
32Red stepped forward on Friday and offerred a $500 prize for me or Slotster for the best screenie. I had a long chat with Ed and put forward an extension to the idea so everyone could get involved and if successful turn it into an on-going monthly comp.
A bit tricky bearing in mind once money is involved it can all get a bit complicated, but Ed and Pat had a word with Microgaming about my ideas and they've given the thumbs up. Also, as i want to keep this primarily a fun thing, i've put together some basic rules and i'll put up some info up tomorrow then its up to anyone if they want to join us on the same basis me and Slotster are playing.
In essence it boils down to this (but i'll make it clearer tomorrow so hold back on the questions for now):
1) Slotster and I nominate 2 Progressives each month
2) All players send me their 32Red player number
3) We all hit the nominated slots
4) If the Jackpot is won, the winner keeps 70% and all the others share 30% (based on one share per # spins which i'll set tomorrow - to keep it fair and make sure everyone who entered is trying - lol!)
5) 32Red will at the end of each month provide me with the number of spins each player made on each of the slots
6) They have also agreed to handle all the payouts (thanks PatH!) - this is where it all got complicated and MG got involved 'cos we dont want people going all Noddy on the 70/30 thing. Oh yes you did, Ohhhh no i didnt...behind you!
7) There will be two prizes of $250 per nominated slot for the best screenshots, or if tied, he/she who hit it more than once.
Thats the basics - just gotta play with some figures now. I want everyone, low-rollers and high-rollers all, to be able to play if they want to so i'll make the spin numbers reasonable and probably have a low value progressive and a higher value progressive in each comp.
Should be fun
If anyone has any ideas about how to keep this friendly and fun rather than attracting the less scrupulous bargain hunter, feel free to shout in this thread. I'm thinking keep it to regular 'Meister posters to start with - what do you think?
I also want to keep it as simple as possible, but there has to be certain ground rules i guess to save the hassle when we hit the Big One (which we will!).
Cheers
Simmo!
