Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[brianmon]

that's your opinion

It's not opinion, it's fact..
Unless you would normally be spending €5.50 to enter level one battles. The value of a tickets is €0 and a tiny tiny chance of winning one of three prizes

 

[IM_SPORTS]

the value of that ticket is 5.50 fact.

 

[IM_SPORTS]

its like saying someone who spends 100 euro to play the freeroll is throwing 100 euro down the drain.
they have a chance of winning the freeroll and they have the same chance as the other 4 ppl who register and spend 100 euros.

 

[09237653]

Well you keep enjoying your tickets that you will never win anything on , we'll keep fighting for the old rewards system that rewarded us all instead of one in 12000 players.

yes, IF you would have spent 100 to enter, then a ticket is worth 100, because it's saved you paying the 100 you would have paid.
If, however you wouldn't have paid for entry in the first place.....

If they made the first level entry €20. A prize ticket would still only be worth the chance of one of 3 final prizes

 

[Harry_BKK]

Yeah, the rounder ticket can be worth something, but the chance to get one is really small with this many people playing. I had 1 so far, got knocked out in round 1. How many tickets did you win? and how did it go? I usualy play 8-9 battles a day, and still had only 1 ticket.

5fs can be good, i have had wins on them in the past. And i don't think it's silly to win something from time to time, instead of winning 1 battle ticket every 14 days

About 10 rounders tickets. Never made it past level 1.

 

[deleted_user-20231116]

About 10 rounders tickets. Never made it past level 1.

That sounds so tilting, being lucky enough to win 10 tickets, then still end up getting nothing.

I wonder if most of the winners in round 5 play with their freeroll ticket, or if they bought in at some point.

 

[shoust]

I think there should be days where rounders alternates, say one day rounders is every 4 hrs and another day rounders is only every 12 hrs, or some places in the table where one would get a rounders ticket instead of spins, say at the point before each switch but say keep the first 3 freespin prizes as they are.

EG:

1st-100 freespins
2nd-75 freespins
3rd-50 freespins
4th Rounders ticket
5th 25 freespins
6th 25 freespins
--------
xth Rounders ticket
xth+1: 20 freespins
xth+2: 20 freespins
----
xth Rounders ticket
xth+1: 15 freespins
xth+2: 15 freespins
----
xth Rounders ticket
xth+1: 10 freespins
xth+2: 10 freespins
----
xth Rounders ticket
xth+1: 5 freespins
xth+2: 5 freespins
----
xth Rounders ticket
xth+1 ad above: Nothing

You guys are not thinking straight
5 FREE SPINS 50 cents .
ok you might get the odd huge win like you posted , you posted a screen of 71 euro win from the 5 spins or whatever it was.

well.
you got lucky.


AND people get lucky in the rounders ticket rounds and they get to the end and how much do they win ??
like 1000 euro ?

ok less likely than getting a big win from the 5 spins because u are more likely to get more free spins as there are more on offer

but what are we playing slots for?
to win 50 cents ?

or to win big amounts?

You're not thinking straight.
A rounders battle with 60/90 winning places would not pay 5 free spins in the same free spins battle, it would be 15 min, so 1.50/3.00/4.50
It could be replacing a 100 spin win so could be 10.00/20.00/30.00

How can you say the value of the rounders ticket is 5.50? Because Videoslots say it is?

I agree, winning the 1000 euro prize would be great value for (as an example) coming 55th in a freeroll battle, but let me ask you this, how many times have you won it? I think someone posted stats recently to show the odds are you would win once every 4 years if you took part in every battle for a free entry. I withdrew more than 1000 euro last year from freeroll winnings, and 450 this year so far, so just why are the rounders battles so much better?

 

[asghan]

Maybe the first three places could get tickets to second round?

Or at least the first three in 90 rounders, the first two in 60 rounders and the first in 30 rounders.

 

[shoust]

Or how about this instead, rework the rounders tourneys so that anyone who loses gets a compensation prize of 5 free spins multiplied by the round they lost in.

EG: Round 1: 2-5th place, 5 free spins on slot.
Round 2: 3-5th place, 10 free spins on slot.
Round 3: 3-5th place, 15 free spins on slot.
Round 4: 3rd-5th, 20 free spins on slot.
Round 5: 3rd to 5th, 25 free spins on slot.

That sounds so tilting, being lucky enough to win 10 tickets, then still end up getting nothing.

I wonder if most of the winners in round 5 play with their freeroll ticket, or if they bought in at some point.

I'm not too bothered TBH. The entire battle stuff is for me a side show and good to pass time in between, especially on days where I do not deposit. Whether I win something or not from them is not really that important.

Personally, I welcome most changes as VS is focusing now more on a player's commitment to the casino. E.g. deposit + play more = get more.

I had a good week, ending up with about 1.5K profit. In such a week, the rewards just keep coming. In a bad week, you need sometimes a magnifying glass to see them.

Only for this week I had 100EUR cash from the wheel for reaching level 235, 10EUR cash for completing all trophies on Donuts, plus a few more wheels with 10 to 50FS as well as some Rounders and EUR1 battle tickets. Seeing the amount of pop-ups for the CoS I expect another 50 - 100FS on Monday evening. And not to forget, 85EUR in Weekend Booster coming this Friday.

Now, we can debate for donkeys but IMO you'll have a hard time finding a casino giving you all of the above in pure cash / week when you are actually ending the week in profit.

Of course, it is less when you have a bad week but as I said, the rewards system is getting more geared towards "play more-get more". It has always been like that at VS but the latest changes focus even more in that direction.

I had always the opinion that at VS you have to play a little smarter to get the best benefits from their reward system. E.g. with the new jackpot wheels you can try to play new games all the time as the first trophies are earned rather easily, giving you plenty of jackpot wheels. One day will be your lucky day and you will end up with something nice.

E.g. we debated in tons of pages the Wheel of Rizk and whether you can win the jackpots. It took me 602 levels to win the first one. As I said, on a lucky day....

 

[nikantw]

You guys are not thinking straight....

Others like to get paid every day, or week, or month.....
You like to get paid once every 4 years.

Leave it at that.

 

[bebo67]

I haven't placed but once (3 free spins) in two weeks of the Canadian Battles. That I play every day. Over 80 people most times and 38 prizes. What are the odds of that?

wow never seen such terrible scores but I'll take it

It would make me cry if 34 points more would have seen me get just under a grand. Congrats on making it to the elusive round 5 and a prize.

With both bought and won tickets I’ve not got beyond round 2 but there’s always hope x

if they are so bad

Thanks Yeh , was lucky to get anything with that score tho so can't be too annoyed Next time ... (in 4 years)
If I had got nothing in Rd 5 I don't think I'd ever play them again . Buying straight into rd 3 seems the way to do it if you value your sanity but that's too expensive rly

 

[CongoGB]

Prime example on why some of the Battles need to be adjusted:

Current one is Halloween Jack, for 60 Rounder tickets. Someone (not me) has hit an insane win of 84K. What do they win? A single Round 1 ticket.

Come on VS, cutting down the prizes is one thing, giving a winner a rubbish prize is frankly laughing at us. Make it a Round 2 ticket for 1st place at least!

[shoust]

Problem with having round 2 tickets is that the value of round 2 is approx 5 times more than round 1, so in that scenario, do you decrease the amount of total prizes won? Say if you give 3 of the top people round 2's. A 60 prize rounders would then become closer to a 45 rounders, a 30 becomes closer to 15, a 90 would be 75 and so on. Preferably, I'd like to see more mixed battles where freespins are still considered to be the top prize but rounders tickets are considered top prizes of lower tiers. Say 20 tickets on a normally 90 rounders where most prizes are freespins, 10 on 60 rounders and 5 on 15.

I missed your win. Was just saying today to my mother that I wouldn't mind if all my "jackpot chases" wins due in the next 12 years happen next week.

 

[shadow123]

Prior to the weekly race finishing VS were paying out £90k on it,was pretty generous really but cant see where that money
goes now, COS cant cost much at all, I have not recieved 1 spin in 2 weeks on it.The wheel of jackpots has been improved
a bit but still cant take that much money to finance bearing in mind the good prizes are achieved at level ups

Sorry i forgot to mention the 15k added tuesday freeroll.Must admit thats pretty good and
hope they keep running it

 

[deleted_user-20231116]

Managed to get a ticket in the Halloween jack battle, so thats the 2nd one i won so far. Goes without saying that it went south in the first round.

 

[Ork]

won 3 rounders so far... came 5th in round 1 twice... came 1st off 1 of them and got to round 2!!! then placed 5th.
Sucks to be me

So do I hope on the Tuesday Madness. I don't place in the Canadian Battles, which is really odd. 80 or so players and 38 prizes, but I do place at least one battle a day in the bigger battles. I don't get anything on Mondays. So Tuesdays are my only hope. My cashback is always under 5 dollars on Fridays.

What do you win in 5th. I have never done it yet.

 

[brianmon]

What do you win in 5th. I have never done it yet.

You win nothing.
You only win anything, if you manage to get through to round 5 and come 1st, 2nd or 3rd

What a waste of time, that must leave people frustrated.

And always the same games? So many spins over and over again. Does that do anything to the odds?
Yes, I asked myself that. BED!!!!!!!

I'm going to bed. I just asked myself a question^^^ Lol. Night.

 

[NeverLucky]

Well, since it just happened again...
@Team.Videoslots : If you hit a bonus on the last spin of a battle (like I just did on legacy of Egypt) on mobile you cannot play this bonus and can't rejoin/return into the battle to play it out. You just get the 'you scored xx' and that's it. Bit annoying since I already had a decent score in this one and I'm not sure if the bonus will be added to that, I kinda doubt it.

Happens with PnG games for sure, not sure about other providers.

 

[keegannye]

I did post this on another thread. But thought is may suit the convo here too so posted it here as i sight from my thoughts

I havent read through all the posts so i this may have been mentioned. I was reading a few posts and i started thinking. If these RTPs have dropped i guess VS battle payout amounts would have also dropped. Eg sit n go freerolls and normal freerolls the rewards used are likely to payout less over all. VS and alot of companies have lost the AU market. I could find stats from 2010 on the net says AU make up $1.6 billion of the online gambling market. That was in 2010. So it seems since AU was cut from many sites alot of changes have been flowing through which i thought was to be expected. I know in 2.5 years at VS i had a wagered amount in total of over $3 million. I guess now since they have stopped AU players its quite possibly put a dent in profits across sites and they are looking for ways to counter this. On top of other tax increases elsewhere etc, id imagine its a big deal to operators.

Meanwhile i know a lot of players from au have just relocated to playing elsewhere online since the change took place. They havent had any problems, banks still allow transactions and withdrawals, we havent heard of any reports of fined sites. We know the gov sent sites a warning across the board, but they funny thing is there isnt anyone actually really regulating the law. So players are playing and the funds that were going to the big players are now being used elsewhere online...

I guess is $1 billion or less overall much to the sites that cut AU players or just a drop in the ocean?

Dont know, but the thought seemed interesting to me

Hi there @NeverLucky,

This is, unfortunately, still a problem in some games in the battles but the score will be added once the battle is calculating prizes. We are working on a different solution but is not there yet. Please send an e-mail with your username to [email protected] if you want us to double check that you received the correct score.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

Well obviously a lot of that 90k is being retained which is the whole point of the changes The trick to getting spins from CoS is spin like a madman for an hour or 2 at £1 stake . Not worth chasing ofc but I end up with some spins that way . Wheel of jackpots looks nice but rly whats the chance of getting the jackpot ever ? If it was a real pie I suspect you could eat the jackpot portion all day long and never put on any weight

It did add around 2 Euros to the score ... i just might be glad i didnt have to see it then

 

[Kroffe]

Not really a fan of the rounder tickets. I have been lucky, and have had 5 tickets.
I lost in the first round all 5 times.

I would so much rather have gotten the 225 spins i would have won otherwise.
But watcha gonna do..

 

[Jasminebed]

I'd rather have free spins than rounder battles. If you enjoy the Jackpot chases, use any winnings from free spins to purchase tickets.

Everyone likes the Tuesday 15K freeroll. No one seems to like the Clash of Spins. (and personally, I have probably fared better with it than the races, but it does require a certain play style.) Why not scrap the Clash of Spins entirely, and just give us a larger tourney daily? With 24 hours to sign up and 24 hours to play it, it gives pretty much everyone a chance to participate. I'd even be okay with VS taking a rake from the paid entry.

I know that the Clash of Spins was someone's vision, the tab has been there as long as I have been playing with VS, shortly after the battles began. Sometimes it is hard to let go of something you were sure would work.

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hello Jasminebed,

Thank you for this feedback, we are not looking to do any major changes just yet, but to receive your perspective and suggestions is appreciated.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[nikantw]

I almost never get any COS. Fast spinning is not for me.

 

[IM_SPORTS]

Well I'm not even sure Videoslots are saving a lot of money with these changes.
no one seems to be coming up with calculations it's all opinion on here by the look of its.
every tuesday now they are basically throwing away 15 grand in euros in the 1 euro freeroll.

it's very generous because it's free money.

 

[anddi32]

it's very generous because it's free money.

They removed tuesday free spins and replaced them with that battle so nothing extra from VS

 

[IM_SPORTS]

They removed tuesday free spins and replaced them with that battle so nothing extra from VS

what free spins?

you still have the freerolls tomorrow so not sure what you are talking about ?

 

[colinsunderland]

you still have the freerolls tomorrow so not sure what you are talking about ?

the free spins that you used to get on a Tuesday
8000 players, between 15 & 20 spins, 120000/160000 spins, min value 12000, so probably costs them around the same as the spins did on average taking into account the entry fee.

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Hi there Everyone,

We have a new battle weekend concept!

We would like to introduce a new Battle Weekend concept coming up at the end of April: €60,000 Added – Weekend Madness! Between 27th – 28th April Videoslots will be running a 48-hour Battle where we are adding €60,000 to the pot.

The buy-in to join the Battle is €1 and the buy-in will be added directly to the pot. So, if for example 1,000 players join, the pot will be €61,000.

This is a re-buy Battle and you can make up to 10 re-buy’s right up until 15 mins before the end of a Battle. All re-buys are added to the prize-pool. For the buy-in and each re-buy you get 250 spins for a chance to take home the first prize.

In order to join the Battle, you need the buy-in of €1 and you need to have achieved 2,500 XP from the 1st of April until the start of the Battle.

The name of the Game will be announced at a later stage in April.

The SnG Freeroll Battle Weekend will be back in May!

As from the 1st of April the requirement for freeroll Battles will change, from then you will need to have earned a minimum of 2,500 XP in the last 30 days before the start of any of the Freeroll Battles that you want to participate in.

Best regards,
Team Videoslots.

 

[Jono777]

Sure this will attract whingers galore but I will start with a positive and say I really like the sound of that new concept

 

[CongoGB]

Now I do like the idea of that! Up to 2,500 spins - that's gonna give a lot of people a decent chance of a big score.

I'll definitely be up for that! Will be interesting to see how far down the prize money ends up going, as Tuesday battles go down to 600 places.

 

[brianmon]

the free spins that you used to get on a Tuesday
8000 players, between 15 & 20 spins, 120000/160000 spins, min value 12000, so probably costs them around the same as the spins did on average taking into account the entry fee.

And the clever thing is, that they know that most players don't keep money in their account. The majority of players deposit, and play until either bust or get a withdrawable amount. So in order to pay the entry fee to play the tuesday freeroll. They'll have to make a deposit
