Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[greylady]

Hi Dan,

I wanted to join a free roll tonight and I was not able to because I did not deposit min 20 Euro and wagered 500 Euro.
I was quite baffled at this as I have not yet made a single WD at Videoslots and deposited about 1200-1300 in the last few weeks.
Didn't realise I had to keep playing to join a "free roll".

You have to have wagered £500 in the previous 7 days.

Well I won 21 free spins in happy hour, gave me the grand total of £1.05, 50% rtp and used it on DoA, 18% rtp - I was having a right old laugh as it turned out exactly as I predicted

 

[Sonict]

Welp... I wish this was me, but on the last battle of the "Happy Hour" freeroll today, someone got this...



Must have hit 15 stars + Super Charged!

Crazy!

 

[nikantw]

Wish I could hit 3000x with my race 3.50, or even better with a 5.00 or 10.00 bet ....

My best multiplier in 17 years is a 3000x on MMI with 0.01 bet.
2nd best must have been on the same game, won more that 7,500. Don't remember the bet size but it must have been around 6.00. I remember the counter going up for ages, left the room, made a sandwich, returned and it was still going! Good times The casino added a huge bonus, 300 or 500, for my big win! I didn't like that, thinking they are trying to stop me from cashing out. But I kept winning and forgot about it

 

[lockinlove]

Im glad I dont hit this in a battle. Id cry in my pillow til next week.

 

[greylady]

I don't even take notice of the battles now as 99.99% of the time I am where I expect to be, somewhere near the bottom of the scoreboard

 

[CasinoNinja]

Robin Troll

I mean... 11 bags, no freespins. Talk about trolling!

 

[nikantw]

Welp... I wish this was me, but on the last battle of the "Happy Hour" freeroll today, someone got this...

Must have hit 15 stars + Super Charged!

Crazy!

Don't see any wins posted. Is it the game, the wagering (last 7 days instead of 20), or the new "Happy Hour" format with the 1/7 of the time of a Weekend?
Or because there is no CM promo this time?

I wanted to play, even made an "extra" deposit to make the wagering. No joy, wagering was only 3x my deposit.
In case you don't know, a 97% RTP will give you 33xdeposit wagering before you bust. 3x you get with RTP around 65%.
That is why most WR casinos have is 40x and above.

 

[greylady]

These battles must be the worst reward system ever considering the amount you have to deposit/wager to enter them. I keep seeing the same names appearing in the top 10, don't know how they do it, I won 5 spins which paid out 0, it's mad considering most slots don't even start paying out now until after the first 10 spins. I would be lucky to have £10 in four months - sorry videoslots but as yet there is nothing endearing that makes me want to favour the site

 

[Sonict]

Considering how small your deposits are... Trying to earn access to the Battle of Slot Freerolls is not a good idea for you Greylady. I have been really lucky in earning access. I only make like a $50 deposit and on that one and only one... I wager over $750 CAD and earn access. (Since it needs to be converted to 500€ which I have mentioned to Dan that it is very bad! )

In terms of Freespins being won. I have lots of rewards where I have earned 20+ freespins on a game. Four days ago, I won 50 freespins on Super Flip. Even on freespin rewards that are under ten, I have been lucky in earning money from them.

In the end considering your luck and RTP... You shouldn't even be playing those three slots that you have mentioned. They are the #1 reason why your overall RTP is crap. High variance games won't help bankrolls last at all. You need a crap ton of luck.

Thanks Sonict

I did quite well last week but the pattern for me, is I win one week and then go months with nothing so I am probably lucky if I have withdrawn 30% of my deposits this year and it's not because I get greedy, I just can't win - tried changing slots this week, even to low variance but yet again my luck is non existent. As for battles, I won't be making any effort to qualify again and I am even considering giving up slotting for a few months and just enjoy other people's wins.

£150 deposited this week and it was all gone, straight through, no play time.

Good luck for your wins

 

[bebo67]

So. I didnt meet wagering requirements after today, I went on chat and asked how short I was, and was told 200 dollars. I only wagered 536 dollars. This was our conversation:
this wagering for canadians is a huge problem
19:14Jennifer York:
That is a lot of money in canadian dollars. Its a weeks wage
19:14Johan H:
It is the same for everyone.
19:15Johan H:
Imagine a Swedish player has to wager 5000 SEK to participate.
19:15Jennifer York:
I cant imagine, as I dont know the value of that
19:16Johan H:
But that is my point. $500 CAD is less value compared to €500 EUR.
19:16Johan H:
We have chosen to have the same requirement for all players and we chose the currency EURO since most of players use that.
Am I just being miserable? Really Dan. This is NOT a perk, considering we don't get bonuses. And achievements are made pretty well under the same stipulation.

 

[Sonict]

I 100% agree with you there, Bebo67.

It is one thing when we pay for paid battles... Completely understandable to pay using Euros for those, but for a wager requirement for the freerolls where the spins you win are in your currency to begin with is... STUPID. Lol

We should not have to wager 1.5x the amount. As for the SEK / NOK... 10 of them is pretty much 1 euro so they aren't paying that much, but if you are from the UK and use the British Pound... Your wager requirement is really low since 1 of those is worth way more than a euro....

An unfair system for sure when it comes to freerolls.

Like I said earlier in this post. For PAID BATTLES... It is totally understandable for us to pay with euros and I am fine with it!

Dan... Please work on this ASAP! :/

 

[Dan.Videoslots]

Hi guys,

We do understand the feedback you are giving. When it comes to those kind of changes, there is technical work that needs to be done. Unfortunately there is no easy way in which we can separate buy in and freeroll battles when it come to different currencies. We are continuously trying to improve our system to give the best outcome.

Best Regards,
Daniel

 

[Booo73]

Hopefully that does change soon. It's a large amount to have to wager to qualify. I'm actually a little confused about one thing though. The other day I finally qualified for freerolls. I played them all day no problem but when I logged in the next day to play more, I got the pop-up that I didn't qualify again. I'm confused because I though that once you qualified it was for a full 7 days not just one. Not the first time it's happened either. Can anyone please clear this up for me? CHEERS

Afraid it does not work that way. To qualify you must still have qualified with in last 7 days. Once you have reached the point where you have not wagered 500 in the 7 days before it stops.

For example if you deposited and played 450 on a Monday Then that Saturday you wagered the remaining 50 you qualify for freerolls. But if you do not wager more then come Monday you will no longer qualify as in 7 days previous it would only be Saturdays 50 that shows on wagering.

 

[CasinoNinja]

I'm not sure I understand the complaints about the €500 wagering requirement other than it's very steep for everybody.

I don't think they should start differentiate the players based on how well they earn or where they live.
So if $500 CAD is worth less than euros, it means you needs to wager more than $500 CAD, to compensate the difference in the currency exchange rate. I would assume there are different wages anyway, you wouldn't earn the exactly the same as someone from a € country, you should earn more.

Would you think it would be fair for us who live in the UK to have to wager £500 just to qualify? If someone say in Germany earns €500 a week and we take that to someone who lives in the UK with exactly the same job, costs etc. They would earn less than £500 due to the differences in the currency.

So, I don't really see the issue.

I look at is as free entertainment with a very slim chance to win anything from them. I had 50 freespins on fruit warp, 25 freespins on magicious, 20 freespins on something else and a bunch of randon 7-8 freespins. I won $5.

I put it out of my mind that its a way to win money. You have a small chance but most times its not going to resort to anything, so now I just accept it as playing a scratch card. Most times you get nothing, and if you win something small to give you a few spins on a slot, you are just putting it back in.

If people do this for entertainment, i suggest to go ahead and make the wager you need in order to qualify, if you are dong it to try and make money and get lucky, dont bother. Especially if you are Canadian since we are the ones who get shafted

I don't even find it entertaining any more, far less make any money, the results are always the same, the same as my slotting, I win one week and then lose for weeks/months and there the pattern is developing that it has become a tad boring so I am taking a months break at a minimum as I am not playing back all that I have won

 

[nikantw]

The BoS freerolls are a very nice way to have a playtime with different slots for as long as 7 days. You can also chat with others and have a chance to win some real money with very little "cost" for the casino at the same time. Sure you have to pay to enter. But there is no 100% free tournament on the internet left today AFAIK. The last one was cancelled last week.

Is it worth it? IMHO yes, since with 97% RTP you get the wagering with a deposit of 20 (25 if you are a Canadian), since 33 x 20 = 660.
If you don't get there with 20-25, it is up to you if you will deposit more.

Problem is, if you have bad luck and RTP of 60% - 65% (happens all the time) you need a deposit of 250 to qualify (with that RTP you only wager 3x deposit before bust).
250 per week is a lot of money. So you get some bad luck and you have nothing, no playtime, no race, no cashback, no freerolls, no rewards, no Tuesday fs. Absolutely nothing.

 

[Sonict]

So I heard that you guys wanted to know if winning 1st place on the "1000 Freespin - Freezeout" can even be done...





Yes. It is certainly possible!

I have won 100 freespins before a few times already this year.

P.S I am happy to be a full member now so I can upload and link many pictures since before... I had little attachment space!

So, I don't really see the issue.

The issue here is not what we need to spend to qualify, it is what we WIN should we win some free spins. If a Euros player wins 5 free spins at .20, they win 1 euros worth of spins. If I win 5 free spins, I win $1CAD, or today about .67 worth of spins. The UK player will get 1 pound worth of spins, or about 1.15 euros.

So we must pay the same as everyone, but we get to win way less.

So there are two ways to solve it. One is to lower the requirement to 500 of the currency, or keep the wagering at 500 euros, and award all the freespins in euros.

The way I look at it I am sure its not like what it states and U.K has to wager £500 , Can $500, Euro players 500

So for instance where I have to wager £500 than someone from canada has to wager Can 500 which is only about £300, which in this case U.K are getting stiffed due to having spend the most to get into the race, Yes spins are worth more but what use are those if you cannot qulify

Now if it is 500 euro for all of us or equivalent currency, Euro 500, so in U.K that be about £440 or Canada about 740 than yes the U.K will be getting the best deal as if I win 100 free spins at 20p that = to £20 where in Canada them 100 spins are worth about £12

But I am sure this shit is 500 in each currency, because lets say some one from Canada was giving 350 Euro and also a player from U.K giving 350 euro, than both them players changed it to there own currency than the person from Canada is guarantee to qualify as thats worth just over 500 Can but the player from U.K is not guarantee as its only worth about £310

 

[Jasminebed]

I, and the other Canadians can absolutely guarantee it is 500 euros, and Dan has confirmed it more than once. I am not as sure about the UK, but I do recall that you too only have to wager 500 euros.

 

[Dan.Videoslots]

Hello everyone.

I can confirm that the wagering is €500 for everyone.

Best regards,
Daniel.

 

[greylady]

I thought it was £500 too but don't hold me to this.

The maths

$500 CAD - £296.61
500 Euro - £441.51
UK - £500.00

If it is £500, then the UK is the one being hard done by. The system does need revisited to be fair to everyone, in all currencies.

 

[nikantw]

My best game in Freerolls is this.



It def pays better if I win fs

 

[geordiecolin]

About a year ago 500 Euro's was £365. Last night 500 Euro's was £450. So if any Country has cause to complain then it is us in the UK.

Last night it took me £150 in deposits to achieve the 500 Euro wagering requirements (eventually cashed out £100) but sometimes a £20 deposit is enough to meet the wagering requirements with a possible withdrawal at the end of it. As Videoslots are one of my faves I just roll with the punches

 

[colinsunderland]

don't you just love it when you are 7th with one spin left.....then this happens

 

[CasinoNinja]

Dan, why is the Joker missing on the 850 Rebuy tournament today?

Edit, also from the €50 buyin tournament.
Edit2: And the €10 rebuy Neon Staxx later tonight.

Why are a bunch of them missing again?

 

[Dan.Videoslots]

Hi CasinoNinja,

I have sent you a PM.

I get the opposite, do well in the first 20 spins followed by 80 dead ones, keeps on happening

 

[geordiecolin]

£210 to ensure the wagering requirements within 24 hours and that is all gone! I must be mad given what financial rewards I get back from the free battles. But I do deposit and play real money all week and I have often deposited £40,met the requirements and been in a position to make a withdrawal.
Worth it

 

[greylady]

I have just about given up on the free battles now, what a waste of time, 9 free spins this week which I won a big fat 0 from. I have given VS a fair go and it continues to be diabolical for me.

Yeah, I have put my time in. If it wasn't for the Canadian battles I would have nothing. Its time to spread my wings and fly south. Finish up my battles which should end any day. My 3 something cashback, hahaha. No hard feelings with them, but not getting anywhere really sucks.

Worth it

Just to balance the reality out here. Since the post above I have had endless game play from free roll free spin winnings and cash back and at the moment I am only a short way from breaking even. If I wanted to play careful I could easily break even by the time I need to deposit again in order to qualify for another weeks worth of free rolls.
To me,this is what I call value for money because at most casino's if I lost £210 I am likely to see jack shit back from it.

Hello everyone.

Today I have some great news to share!

We will release an update for Battle of Slots where we have done several improvements on the user interface and design, and we hope that this will make the Battle of Slots experience more streamlined and enjoyable. This is the first of two updates that we are working on for Battle of Slots, the second one will come at a later date, and I look forward to hearing your feedback about the changes.

Best regards,
Daniel.

Well I am very sad to say this Dan. I have checked it out and studied it at length. To my mind it has made very little difference. I logged in,made my way to the battle with the same ease as usual and with very little hindrance or obstruction. On completing the battle I was left with confusion and frustration. Turning my laptop upside down made very little difference because I still won feck all

 

[colinsunderland]

I don't like it, sorry Dan.
The chat is easier to read, thats good for anyone that uses it, however whats the thinking behind showing only the top 2 positions then where you are? Not so bad if theres only one or two prizes, but if I need to come 6th to get a prize, then I don't want to have to click 'view battle' all the time to see how close I am. Even if you could scroll down to see more scores it wouldn't be as bad

 

[colinsunderland]

Another thing, can you not sort the word wrap out in chat, the way it is at the moment words get split when they go on different line
This means me

[CasinoNinja]

I like the chat layout, much easier to read. Agree on just showing the top positions there is not very useful. You can view them if you click on view battle, but I would have preferred to be able to scroll through the list in the main game too.

 

[Dan.Videoslots]

Hello everyone.

Thanks for all your feedback, keep it coming!

[Dan.Videoslots]

Hey everyone.

I have a bit more information regarding the update in Battle of Slots.

One big reason for this update was to change the way we showed the leaderboard and limit it, as it was causing a lot of web browsers to lag. In the upcoming release you will be able to toggle the chat, if you would like to have more of the leaderboard visible. Different screen sizes also affects how many positions you are able to see, so if you have a bigger screen there will be more spots visible.

Best regards,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

clear and big step in the right direction. Chat easier to read and more space. Announcement pop-up at the bottom. All very good improvements.

I for one do not need to see what people are in the TOP10 or TOP5. I am good with the info as to were i personally am. The rest I can see after finishing the spins.

The changes are a good improvement imho. Now chatting is much more fun. Thumbs up Dan

[Sonict]

The new chat is a step in the right direction. The only request I have is for a "Dark mode" version. I'm not a fan of the bright colours and since the website in general is all dark... It stands out currently. If we have the option between using "light mode" and "Dark mode", that would be great.
