If Gold is now only £50, I shudder to think what Silver is then!
I'm closing in on a silver wheel and as you say, wagering 50K to get there, on today's games is no easy ride and takes a lot of commitment, time and oh yeah, money and loyalty.
Those (like me) with a pretty much pathetic weekly budget compared to most really look forward to these, which I may see twice in a year if lucky! I stick to VS only and play nowhere else due to their loyalty system so for me it work(ed) well.
I do appreciate the time and transparency Mr Wild shows us on here but sadly from where I am sitting all I am seeing is a vast reduction in retention based stuff for us low rollers and the only real beneficiaries are the higher level players or those who had the 'vault' rather than the original WB.,
As I and others have said on here numerous times, there is/was a much better way of cutting back or covering the cost of reverting back to the old WB. Remove Jackpot chases, Remove Clash of Spins, reduce the size of the 3 wheel based Jackpots, heck even cut Tuesday madness back to €12,000K added, anything but what they've done.
