Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[Pixie]

About 50% of battle budget for freerolls have been moved in to promotions for real money play. On the weekly bigger battle events Friday and Sundays have been scrapped.

What kind of promotions ?

 

[Mr Wild]

What kind of promotions ?

The wheels have been increased in value in some countries and in other countries we have for example re-introduce the old weekend booster. To fund these, we have lowered the values in freerolls and removed two bigger events.

If I understand correctly, this decision will award players better who are loyal, make regular deposits and basically not those players who simply earn the 1,000 XP and then just play free events the rest of the time.

Hoping the wheel improvements will actually make a difference, there is little value on both blue and red wheels at this moment in time and they are so heavily weighted towards the useless prizes such as battle tickets where the red wheel upgrade (on the blue wheels) is virtually impossible to win.

My last red wheel also awarded 50 x 0.10 spins on Aloha Cluster pays, which IMO should more likely be a prize on a blue wheel not red, as reds take alot of wagering and time to achieve.

Just my 2c

From the 3 or 4 red wheels I had, the prizes were similar to yours...
In theory, the wheel looks appealing because there aren't any bad prizes like 1€ ticket or 5 Freespins, but the 50, 75, or 100 spins are usually not that great as well, keeping in mind that you need to get 10000 payouts spinning a slot to actually get a red wheel.

A decision has been made to move promotion funds around. There will be less to battles and more to wheels and weekend booster. Currently there is an unbalance between players who don't play battles compared to players that play every battle.
Total promotion balance have not changed.

So your bending over and uhmm yea for the players that spins with like 10-20Eur/spin?

Am I missing something or how could this in any way benefit Swedish players that you said a while back was your largest market?

Isnt it a "their" problem that they dont play the battles, I mean they are there, play if you think its fun otherwise dont why punish us that like them?

Iam from Swe, I have played so many 100`s of Euros and the freaking silver wheel isnt even something you think about cause its so rare and when you eventually get one after maybe months of playing it gives you 2Eur like my 3 last have done I think, I mean 2Eur that rare is just a kick in the nuts.

To play battles with say 2000 people and have to come in place 19 to win 5 lousy spins isnt really what id say "fun", I mean battles and often fast withdrawls is what makes me deposit 99% to your site, if you remove battles wich this basically is and have lowered all RTPs then I bet there are better sites to deposit on......

But am i missing something so please explain I might just be tired but this seems to only benefit whales that dont care about "lousey freespins" but people that play smaller bets and spec from Swe gets totally fu**ed over?

I know matey, had loads of them over the years,

My main point is they used to be good, Red wheel would upgrade to Bronze/Silver/Gold XP reasonably often and you'd get £50/£100 cash, if not then 100 x 20p spins, 75 x 30p spins, some really good stuff

Blue wheel had £5 section and 30FS on 30p game and again it would be fair from time to time and give them to us.

Now red is awful 99/100 and blue may as well be renamed to "The wheel of useless battle tickets"

Hoping Mr Wilds improvements for loyal players are actually decent improvements.

 

[CongoGB]

As much as I like to play regularly, I did think that perhaps they were stretching themselves on the "free" battles. Less of them and better other promotions is a good thing.

Now to actually get a bloody Blue Wheel and see what awaits!

 

[Jono777]

Just wondering whilst we are here discussing these changes, are there still going to be SnG events on a Monday and Thursday as well as the standard battle weekends please? @Mr Wild

Cheers!

 

[paul7388]

Could be wrong but i think maybe i can see why the changes.

Do not think it has anything to do with people just wagering 1000XP to join battles. As lets face it it costs you hundreds normally to make the XP and to me if some deposits hundreds a month it makes them loyal. MIght be more to do with some markets. Like Sweden for example where they do not need XP for battles. So basically a Swedish player who does not really deposit much would still have access to battles. So in making changes it is to try and make more money available for players who play with real funds a lot and not just battles.

Whether it is a good idea making the changes time will tell.

If swe players dont have the old weekend booster or increased value in wheels. But reduced rtp, what do we get? This takes me to the slogan You will own nothing and you will be happy.

Regarding the wheels, there is still changes that will happen there, as we still need to see the effect of recent changes. In the end budget will remain the same as before. But it take some time to configure everything.

As we cannot run Monday Frenzy anymore due to what has been mention before. The Friday event (mystery) is taking over so each Monday there will be something different. Suggestion of what to add is always welcome, as you are aware we do take onboard suggestion we like and add them to Mystery events.

Thursday Epic and Battle weekend is continuing as before.

The math in the wheels have been improved for those countries that didn't get the old Weekend Booster. But further improvements will happen during the month as explained above.

Videoslots don't have promotions targeted for Whales, it has never had it either. We are bending over for the players making 0.2-2 eur bets and making sure they getting most of the extras.

 

[Itaghai]

The Friday event (mystery) is taking over so each Monday there will be something different. Suggestion of what to add is always welcome, as you are aware we do take onboard suggestion we like and add them to Mystery events.

Well, last week Mystery Friday was nice, so you could keep that one to run once a month, besides Buffalo King, there is also Big Juan as a 0.40€ min bet , and might be a few others.

Other types of Events:

• Monday Mania
• 100,000 Free spins but since we have way more players split the rewards across more placements, make the first place 300 to 500 Freespins top.
• 25,000 Free spins x 4 but also split the rewards across more placements
• Happy Hour, 1 or 2 slots (with quickspin so no Red Tiger) running for 1 hour, the battle time between 5 to 8 minutes
• Bonus Buy Battle, instead of spinning the battles would consist of 3 bonus buys, the rewards would be the standard freespins, would just be refreshing to have a different type of battle.
• Juicy Monday, 20 minutes battles of 100 man for 2 hours with top 70 players getting rewards, something like:
  • 1 - 30
  • 2 and 3 -25
  • 4 to 9 - 20
  • 10 to 20 - 15
  • 20 to 40 - 10
  • 40 to 60 - 6
  • 60 to 70 - 3
    • Total Free spins per battle: 600
    • Epic Thursday freespins payout average per 20 minutes, assuming people would do 5 battles, 3 of 0.10€ and 2 of 0.20€: 450 from 0.10€ + 90 from 0.20€ battle = 540 Freespins

That would be fun and something new

Ok... But the only wheel I can get as all latest times given 2Eur after many 100Eurs of euros spent and it sometimes go so long netween them that Iam certain I missed some news and you stopped with them is the lousy silver and in the conditions it says that its "random" but it isnt random in my opinion when it also says the higher bet and worse slot (lower RTP) the higher the chance of getting it is, in other words now when you slaughtered the battles and its almost impossible for Swe that bets say 0.5 as example to get an almighty 2Eur back maybe directly, maybe in 2 years so its the "whales" that bet 5-50Eur/spin that gets the wheel.

Another question have Spelinspektionen increased your license fee cause this what was what said as excuse to go from 96 to 95 RTP and now its certainly lower then that I almost just play 1 slot since you removed Divine Fortune for some reason.

"Due to the increased taxes in United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, Austria and Ireland. The return to players have been adjusted for the following game providers.

Pragmatic Play
PlayN Go
Red Tiger
IGT

That is why we have decided that for all markets that implement a higher tax than 15% which is currently Sweden, Germany, Austria, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. We will have to offer a lower RTP on these markets from 96% average to 95% average. Not all game suppliers support this today, but the following does and will be affected; Pragmatic Play, Red Tiger, Play’N Go and IGT. When more suppliers support adjusted RTP we will adjust it as well for these markets."

 

[09237653]

the battles which pay 250 spins (top 19 players) often have 1000 players and 1500 on weekends.

You drop the RTPs on every possible game and then wonder why we play elsewhere, put the RTPs back to max (remove as many promotions as needed to cover this) and watch the deposits come in. Promote the casino on Max RTPs.

The queues at pimped are getting longer.

Maybe they should drop values to .05 so not so much players. At the same time they can save 30% more of the battle money

It has been like that since battles started.

which means unless you join it right away there is no way of joining battle later. So every battle will last full time as be a lot of non spinners.

There is no difference for me, i see all battles in the 'freeroll' tab.
Are you using a phone?

The non spinner problem is there for me aswell tho, but then again it always was.


They should really change the 10-man battles to 30 man, the queues are getting silly.
