I don't know if you had read my previous post regarding the suggestions to the MM (
Battle of Slots Official Videoslots Thread - Casinomeister Forum)
But one of the suggestions was to keep the top prize at a max of 500 freespins.
It still has a lot of freespins, if a player from the UK wins that battle he would have to spend 1 hour spinning the slot until go through all the spins.
It would allow for more players to get some sort of reward, the current battle has 5141 players on it for only 500 rewards, so less than 10% will get something and there are over 4600 losers.
I don't know if you had a look in the chat of these battles but there were a lot of negative messages regarding today's event in every battle.
Another suggestion but now regarding the scheduled battles, maybe merge the battles from 00:15 until 06:15 all into one 8-hour battle with 2000 free spins.
Edit: An off-topic question, shouldn't the 500 wins achievement give you a blue wheel? Or it's only the 500 wins in 1 day that gives the wheel?
