Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[Philip]

Well freerolls are free There is always the option to buy in to a Battle with your own balance, then you dont need to qualify via the SNG Freeroll satellites

Thanks MR Wild for that post, I agree with it.

I believe real money SNG will be back soon.

That is true, they will be back soon.

Best regards,

Philip

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Will you keep mixing games up a bit? Especially among the lower buy-in sit'n'go battles it seems it's always Starburst and Pyramid recently

 

[Philip]

We are trying different games and trying what works best

Philip

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Let me share an opinion then: Pyramid, with it's extremely high variance and a feature than often takes a long time only to pay almost nothing in the end, doesn't seem well suited for this. That's just my opinion, though. I do like the game (a bit), but it's kind of annoying to play in the battles I think.

 

[Philip]

€2,000 Battle tonight!



Tonight at 20:00 GMT there is a Battle with a guaranteed prize pool of €2,000. If you think bigger is better this is the one for you

You get 250 spins in Jack and the Beanstalk and the buy-in is €55. This might be the one where you win the big money.

Best regards,

Philip

You must be kidding me, how is it possible that i cant get any wins on these "guaranteed battles". And i dont mean that i have to win the battle but how can i have so many dead spins in every battle, thats just bs. But ye, sorry for this.. maybe its just better if dont play these because i get so annoyed.

At least the battles work great so thats a plus

 

[Casino2014man]

I have a bit of a frustration tonight. I waited over an hour for enough people to join my battle.

I won a €22 battle token, there are no €22 battles tonight, and they are very rare. Annoying.

At least you won? I waited that long, Than the time I did look it was game over not even a spin

I guess it's going to take a while to figure out what works best

 

[dave1888]

I've got a collection of tickets from the freerolls gonna see how high I can get for free . Worst tournament was the eggomatic one got the free spins twice and my total from 100 rounds was a paltry 19.05(1905 points!) So terrible!

Is their a expiry date on these? If so Dan or Philip can you extend the expiry date at least for now till more players get going on this?

 

[Mr Wild]

The €2,000 GTD Battle is being played tonight as well at 20:00. Buy-in is €55 and gives you 250 spins. Yesterday it was 11 players and a first prize of €1,000!
So its has a high value right now due to the low amount of entries.

 

[spintee]

Is their a expiry date on these? If so Dan or Philip can you extend the expiry date at least for now till more players get going on this?

You can opt out, So if board of waiting about, I did not do this as it was for the £11 free for the first 100 mesiter members, Did not know if would of been able to rebuy,

Its going to take some time, When it does and they many of players I can see it being great, At the moment its try and error, I know there was a few bingo sites that tried the integration of chat ect but I received an email the other day and they was closing down, every time I loged in there was like 6 players

No way would this sort of thing happen here, Video slots seem to be the only site thats trying to make things interesting, Other sites open up and all new this and that, But theres nothing new about it, Loyalty is pants, Same old games etc,

I know people do not like the way VS bonus works but thats about the only downside I think any body can complain about, But even so the cash back and races are just about better than most casino bonus as no wager

 

[Booo73]

I'm not sure how these work since I haven't really tried them yet but now I'm really confused lol. I just used my free $11 that Dan at Videoslots was kind enough to give out to Casinomeister members to enter a tourney. Once the tourney was supposed to start it didn't and it disappeared from the lobby as well. Anyone know why this would happen and if my $11 will be returned to try again. It took me several days to find one at a time I could play at. Thanks for any help. CHEERS

I am sure if the tourney did not go ahead than you should be able to play a next round,I am really confused about all this my self, It was my fault I missed the game but did not have a clue about how they worked, Like I pointed out its trail and error, Does the game open automatic? as you do not get long to play either

 

[interlog]

I was getting a little confused too. Tried to play the EUR11 ticket kindly given by Dan in some EUR1.1 battles but this doesn't work. You can only enter it in a EUR11 battle.

 

[Dan.Videoslots]

If you register with any of these tournament battles. Like the €11 one u had then also if u dont play it for some reason then when that battle tournament is finished you get the cash refunded so you would get €11 refunded as cash in your account minus the fee of €1 so €10.

 

[ProbabilityZero]

Very much enjoying Battle of the slots. It's given me some heart thumping moments. Just last night I was in first place to win nearly 200 euros in a winner takes all but a lady knocked me off the peg so came second. What was really nice was chatting to her to congratulate and her wishing me luck for next time. A real community feel

One thing I wonder is at the moment you can win battle tickets through a "ladder" type process. If Videoslots suddenly changed their battle format what would happen to any unused rewards? Would they just be lost?

Its has been mentioned about the change in things, I am sure you would not lose out as would get something else, I think there giving it a good beta test at the mo, I know I was lost when trying to work it out, Once it settled down and every thing worked out its going to be real good,

I don't think they plan to change those 1.1eur, 2,75 euro 11euro and 22 euro ticket... if so they will do something for those wh can't play them for sure... Plus those reward are valid for 1 week if you don't use them you lose them so be sure to use them when you have them

 

[slotmaster]

Problem is the site is not giving me my tickets that I have in the rewards, Like how do you claim these? I tried to claim my 2.75 for a sit n go and nothing is showing my ticket was claimed so it's still sitting in rewards section.

Just register to a tournement that you have tickets they will take your ticket first to pay the entry... And don't forget ticket cannot be used to do a Re buy

 

[Jasminebed]

Same problem for me. I paid (and lost) on an 11 euro ticket, when I had a free one, and I had clicked claim. Sucessfully claimed a 2.75 one, but can't redeem the other one I won.

The ones I claimed successfully (including a 5.50 one) showed zero for the buy-in amount.

I also get taken to a Oops statement for every tourney that starts, although I am able to click on the tourney and pick resume. Some times it works, other times I have had to close and try again. Since many are fairly short, you can be a while if you have some luck, especially on the Pyramid one.

 

[interlog]

Having a little break from depositing but this also means you can't play the free tournaments at Videoslots no longer.

The sit&go freeroll requires you have deposited within the past 3 days (plus a wagering requirement)
The freezeout freeroll requires you have deposited within the past 7 days (plus a wagering requirement)

Now I understand why Videoslots has done this (you look after your paying customer after all) but on the other hand it now gives me (and perhaps others) a reason any longer to visit the casino anymore with a chance that I may deposit after having played some free tournaments.

Be glad they run freerolls at all instead. I can't think of another site that would do this for their loyal players. I have barely played a spin at another site in the last months. Videoslots are doing everything right at the moment.

I really like the Battle of Slots sngs and tournaments and will keep playing them.

Don't misunderstand me. Of course I am glad that they have their free rolls. I have participated in many of them (even won some) and appreciate them. However, when you want to take a break from depositing there is nothing for you to go back to their site despite being a loyal customer (well I would say when you have deposited over £8000 since June you're more than a loyal customer!!!).

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Yeah, it would be nice if there was even just one daily freeroll without any requirements - it can even have absolutely crappy prizes, just would be nice to get a few spins from time to time and maybe win something.

Then again, it is all still very much in the early stages and the battles still keep changing. The freeroll sit'n'go battles now only give one 1,10 ticket instead of three - it certainly was much better for the players a few weeks ago so that might be slightly annoying. I'm curious about how this will look in a few months.

 

[interlog]

I think what annoyed me most was the message telling me that I was not legible because I haven't deposited over the past 3/7 days. It sort of makes you think "And.... what about the thousands I deposited prior to that??" and stick two fingers up to them for being so short sighted.

 

[helenakp]

Go to my bonuses then "Accountslip" and claim it (click on it)from there ,hope this will help!

 

[GoldenGhoul]

I see no battles for 1,10€ today. Am I stuck with useless tickets? Would be nice if something could be done with them

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Sorry for double posting but I can't seem to be able to edit my previous one.

I just won a "Winner takes all" sit'n'go. Five players, buy in of 1,10€ from which I always thought 1€ would go to the prize pool, yet I won 3,59€ - i'm not sure how this works exactly?

Its progressive win. All wins generated during the battle is added to the pot. So the pot can be either big or small or average. However imagine this with Jackpots! Can be really cool to play 10 friends and share the prize pool eqaul if someone hits it

Hi GoldenGhoul,

You can now find a Sit & Go Battle with €1.1 buy in where the winner takes it all. This Battle will be available for a minimum period of 7 days.

Best Regards

Daniel

Thanks. For some reason I assumed it's the prize pool from all buy-ins. The way it is set is at least somewhat exciting I guess - supposedly that awful Pyramid game could give a hit of thousands times stake so that could prove profitable

 

[datshowiwoll]

I just wondered if the game for the big battle at 20.00 will always be JATB - I know I'm probably in a minority of one but I really don't enjoy playing that game.

Any special game you would prefer?

 

[GoldenGhoul]

It would be nice if this changed from time to time. Netent has quite a few games so there is room for variety there I think. Starburst, Gonzo, JatB, Pyramid - this is getting old I saw some conversations in the chat windows of various battles and I certainly didn't see much love for Starburst or JatB there - they might be popular games in general, but I think most players who take part in battles are more of an "anti-Starburst" crowd so to speak

 

[datshowiwoll]

I love Flowers and Piggy Riches myself, but Wild Turkey, Dragon Island, Lost Island and CFTBL are good games too

 

[refre]

Please add the option to combine entries.
I have tickets to the total value of almost €40 and nothing to spend them on

I think they are restructuring as lots of tournaments are being cancelled including the large guarantee payouts. Take up has been poor on the €22 ones at well under value. I think there are not enough high rollers at videoslots which has attracted low rollers more. Too many free sit and go's cannot be sustained without casino losses.

They will find the sweet spot that works for player and casino

Yeah, I think you're right here. To be honest, 22€ to enter a 500€ guaranteed battle is a bit steep in my opinion. Now, if hundreds of players took part in battles I'm sure better ones would start popping up, though given that battles seem to have a max. number of players set to 90 I'm not sure if the casino would want to do battles where hundreds of players play in a single one. Still, if 90 players played the 22€ battle, that would increase the pot up to 1800€, so i think the whole "guaranteed" thing would have to be changed to a much higher amount, else might just call it a normal battle where players contribute to the pot. We'll have to see how this whole thing develops.

From the casinos point of view I think that having a reasonable guaranteed pot size is more to draw players in... In the hope that it exceeds the guaranteed sum anyway.

If you see two identical tournaments with same entry fees, rules etc you are more likely to join the guaranteed one. If not many players have joined yet then it can initially give player advantage. The casino then hopes that as numbers increase during registration it causes a domino effect.

I think the best course is allowing rebuys but keeping the amount sensible. When I see a tournament with one to five rebuys I go into that tournament thinking "at the most it will cost x amount" when I see 999 rebuys red lights warn "stay away"

The best strategy would in my humble opinion be to reinstate sit and go ticket wins as they were today.... Just the 5.5 and 11 ones. Make them a one in 10 chance as today but make most tournaments rebuys so that player is likely to have to add funds to hold realistic chance of a win.

 

[GoldenGhoul]

Yeah, I had enough of the "999 rebuys" thing in Microgaming tournaments, thank you very much What you propose seems like a good idea, though I'm not sure about playing those Starburst sit'n'gos on a single line - seems worse to me, then again it's not like it makes a difference in the end - one player will win, nine will lose. For now the battles seem like a good idea that obviously, as always, could be improved upon. I should've spent more time playing them when they started - much more chances to win than now

I agree with you but still those tournement and freeroll could be more varied tired of Starburst and Pyramide

Yes I entered rather a lot.... Enough to net a small profit but odds were against me today as I netted far less than one in 10 and when I used the tickets that's when luck turned bad. However I ended in profit through brute force in all honesty.

I have to question whether I enjoyed this though. I became sick of Starburst. I think more focus should be made on scheduled tournaments as players grinding free sit and go's prevents same players using real funds. That's where rebuys are key.... As much as we may despise them I think they are wholly necessary from casinos point of view.

 

[mina1929]

Yes I agree

 

[Jasminebed]

I must agree that one line Starburst is not much fun.
