Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[Jono777]

Well no....if they went to 96% they wouldn't offer at least halve of what they do now

So you would end up with a 96%, offering nothing, that is just the same as Bet365 in terms of perks

No players are attracted by maxRTP - it's a myth - if that was the case, balancing increased traffic then most casino would go 96

But they dont

They go the opposite.

Spot on.

These are just numbers thrown our way with no real meaning (awaits numerous lengthy strongly disagreeing posts )

What I mean is we don't really know whether we're getting 96/95/94 whatever, its just what we are TOLD.

Personally as an experienced player, I've not really noticed any difference in DoA or BoD, 2 games I played a lot at pre and post RTP hacks.

I do not go seeking higher RTP where I just as easily bust out no matter what, game play is shitter today on the HV stuff but on the aforementioned games, more or less same as its always been, win some, lose more.

I look for retention and loyalty but also "extension" for my deposits, something extra to give an extra hours game time or an extra boredom buster.

In relation to VS, my main 3 are the Weekend booster, the XP wheels and the battle weekend, mid week battles are not great but it is something extra to do with the (very) outside chance of a decent sesh for "free" , this is why with my tiny budget I stick to VS.

If EVERY casino were to switch back to max RTP (they won't Mr & Mrs optimists out there) then I would shop around like the old days for the most attractive offers, such as a deposit match or free spins, not something I have done in a very long time.

is there no friday battles this week?

No - Mystery Fridays have been scrapped.

New format for Mondays as of next week.

 

[pinnit2014]

I'm the same - i used to go: lets get the 96...now, in my latter days, just went i'll play there cos it doesn't matter (despite people throwing spreadsheets at me)

Volatility, at the risk of angering RTP fans, is more important to me

 

[shoust]

Do you know how betfair offers increased promos if you decide a higher commission %? Why not have something similar at VS when it comes to RTP?

 

[ihilty79]

ignore

 

[Itaghai]

Is this a new low is that a 0.05 spin slot being used in the freerolls? Are these possible in the weekly freeroll events??

Guess you missed that Thursday they announced Gates of Olympus as the slot and then changed for this one.

 

[ihilty79]

Might be a 0.20 lol Guess it hasn't gone that far ...yet

HUGE reduction in free rolls budget, really excited now for the next time I get a wheel, given the promotions budget is not changing in overall value.

Well, I had a green one this morning...
Gave 10 spins on Amulet of Dead, 0.10£ each... I think it paid something like 0.03£.
Each line of 2( premium) / 3 symbols in that game pay 1p besides top symbol that pays 2p

 

[ihilty79]

I never really paid attention to how all the wheels are awarded. What are the ways to get them 100 paying wins??/ It used to be hidden achievements in games. Reaching a new level only??...I am stuck at the long level at the minute haha

There are some in the secret achievements, the blue ones I think you can get them at 250 wins, 500 wins, 1000 wins, 5000 wins and 10000 wins but I'm not sure.
The red one you get when you complete all achievements for a single slot.

 

[ihilty79]

So, if like me, you were on level 20 and play the same slots don't expect many?

 

[Itaghai]

So, if like me, you were on level 20 and play the same slots don't expect many?

You can still get them, yesterday the green wheel came from this achievement


If you always play the same slots you still able to get wheels, after completing all the achievements you can reset them.
If you look at mine for Lil Devil, it looks like I almost never played but in fact I already reseted the achievements twice, so I got two red wheels from that slot already.

 

[ihilty79]

Do they still award for every achievement though. I thought it might be certain random ones

 

[anddi32]

When and where we can see these "upgraded" wheels? Got few blue wheels this weekend and same shit as always 10 spins 1 euro ticket etc. Same time as you upgrade wheels you do surgeries for xp-wheels? Did i miss something? Contradictory in my mind.
What wheels are we even talking about now? Will players get them even more often? It's totally hard to get any wheel these days.

Looks like in monday instead of some sit n go event we get "mega freerolls". 25 000 spins 4x. 4000-5000 players in each battle chance to win nothing from monday is over 50%.

We have been sworn that the budget will not decrease. Problem in this new system is that player can't know anymore how much VS will give out. Before it was pretty easy to see about what kind of promos were offered now all this appears to the outside in such a way that the players are just being cut.

You can go to read chat messages in battles. Players are pretty annoyed when you cut prizes from freerolls. They really think this all is just applying for savings. If this is something else maybe you should give out even some information. These changes are big changes you remove long-running promotions that players are used to without any explanation. If this amount of money from battles has been transferred elsewhere so it has not been taken away from the players i think just because of the potential misunderstanding it would be necessary to inform in some way.

And seriously. 250 euros 15 euros for the winner 2500 players -> Just showing the middle finger to active customers. Same thing with 250 spins shit

No, just a few selected ones gives you a wheel.

Yeah, it happened to me the last two times we had this event..
Out of the 4 battles I managed to get 0 free spins, the same will happen in this one for sure.

It would be much better if they reduced the top 10 prizes and awarded more players.

If you are not aware, we re-introduce the old weekend booster a few weeks ago. On first week we paid out £200,000 that is about 800k per month. Im aware that still some old customer had old weekend booster already, unfortunately they will not benefit much on the changes. But the majority (90-95% of our customer base) will benefit from the changes.

We also improved math in jackpot wheels in several other countries which we cant offer old WB.

Those that will definitely not benefit from the changes, are those playing only freerolls. That was the purpose of the change.

First week, we gave out 25% above budget. That is 25% more than any week last year. However we will need to get it down to same level as last year so there are still changes ongoing.

That will suck and is in no way comparble to 4h sng, even if the games in the sng suxx you get some spins I dont think I ever even gotten 5spins when they have had those big battles before and dont expect to do so either...

And the talk about the upgraded wheels and such above I dont think any changes have been implemented yet so its the same as before I think they are still "working on it" and in the meantime saving money by cutting the battle prizes low as f**k, having like 3-4 "slice/wheel-games" in battles daily and canceling the 30k tourney and all else during this period.

I too would like more info on what the changes really are their newspage is a joke I would like to know what the changes really are and when they start like Iam Swe so what changes for the better for us exactly? Dont just say the amount of money is the same total, I want to know what I can expect and when?
Is the silver wheel changing some way in value and more often or what, cause that is all we can get here so what is changing for the better exactly and when so I know when or if ever its worth depositing again cause now it sure isnt.

For Monday, it will be different event each week as it was on Fridays previously.
Regarding the wheel, the math has already been improved to pay out bigger winnings more often. On the wheels for countries without old WB, there are still improvements to be made during the month.

Yea I know the mondays will be the new "mystery" just that I never win anything in those big battles that are planned for this monday but before it was SnG you always won a couple rewards atleast......

And I dont really mind that you removed the 30k battle cause Ive played probaly 98% of all sundays ticket-battles since it started and and NEVER won a ticket to the finale, I came on place 75 one time and was happy a while til the system put some ghostplayer before me and I didnt get a ticket, you can think how happy I was about that..

But to answer my question you have changed the wheels for the UK players to pay more already and bragged on how many 100`s of thousand of Euros you paid out in boosters BUT cause my "Booster" is my own winnings I didnt see any of that and the improvements youre talking about I guess is for like the silver wheel and as I said "were working on it" but as right now I as a Swedish player dont have any improvements running and you dont know when you will have and you wont say what they mean?
What will I as a depositing Swedish player gain right now with these changes that are in effect and if the answer is nothing as I guess what will they be later on and when?

 

[Jono777]

So, to summarise if I have understood things correctly, as an original weekend booster customer who has always been on the "old system" despite my loyalty and VS being the only casino I play and seeing (granted small) my whole gaming budget each week, I will not be benefiting at all residing in the UK?

Disappointing but it is what it is I suppose and they have to put the business needs first.

Mondays being changed has a double effect for me too, 4 hours play on the night and then redeeming before work on a Tuesday morning, suppose I will have to do 2 extra bike rides once the weather improves

The prize distribution in the new €250 battles is fun.
First prize €15 (compared to the €100ish from the €500 battles)

I guess thats one way to make sure no money from the battle leaves the casino.

 

[pinnit2014]

Same for how much WB is paid out: how many 7 quids paid out are played to zero, even 15 quids. Maybe we need a bit of context: of the 200k that paid out, how much was withdrawn?

A tenner?

It is a balance between keeping a business profitable/attractive but against what the reason for the casino is. VS has, IMO never been a casino for high rollers But you chip and chop, you skimp and you save you will see a % of players going, nah. Some though will continue to pledge their loyalty as if they're in some sort of cult, but many will migrate to a different type of reward system. You start to take away from that too much, albeit the gamification is still there, you end up with a relatively fast paying casino (and there are more of them these days) and the difference between them and others gets slimmer and slimmer.

Circumstances in you gaming budgets play into it - you have more disposable income, bigger deposits you may want to play at places that offer 4/5 100%'s in the month (there are still some) and not try and grab the peanuts that fall from the bar.

Personal improvement i think you be to tier rewards etc based on XP status - that way you could grab the guys who maybe bet more and as such feel as if their 'rewards' should be more. Why i know some people who play there, up quite high, leave their 10p () rewards to just expire.
