Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

@Pixie noted

Anyways, the lag issue seems to be getting better. We are still trying to figure out what caused it in the first place but what we have been testing, the Battles seem to run fine at the moment.

If anyone has any issues with Battles, please let us know.

Kind regards,
Team Videoslots

Just an idea @Mr Wild - I appreciate you have listened to and even implemented some of my ideas in the past so just thought I'd mention it. Plus I'm bored and needed something to do for 5 minutes

Know you cannot change the games too often on a SnG due to reasons you have told us all about in the past. However how about some small changes to future battle weekends, stop players getting bored and give us a little extra variety.

An example of what I mean is below

Saturday 0.00 - 12.00

Floating Dragon
Aye Caeser Dynamic ways

Saturday 12-00 - Sunday 0.00

Book of Dead
Sugar Rush

Sunday 0.00 - 12.00

Big Bass Bonanza
Rise of Shinobi

Sunday 12.00 - Finish

Legacy of Dead
Fortune Teller's Charm

As I say just an idea and games I listed here are just realistic examples. Let me know your thoughts please, even if it is a direct "No Chance!"

Cheers

 

[anddi32]

I have sometimes thought the same thing
Even one change in the middle of the weekend could be a positive reform.

I think that could be good and bad at the same time.
It's good because there is more variety, but it's bad because I could see that the best combos would be on the dead hours, as an example, the book of dead and sugar rush most likely that would run between 00:00 and 12:00

Fault and downsides can be picked with everything mate.

However with this format at least we would have game changes every 12h. Still get a good few waking hours at all 8 games

Delays continue. This issue has been there since afternoon and never completely disappeared.
Sometimes there is a delay sometimes it goes normally for a while.

Same in here, for the last few hours have been like that.
It might be because there are more people doing battles so it might take more time to process and close everything.

Edit: And keeps happening in every 30 man now.

8 extra minutes...

Make that 9

Or more

Floating Dragon joined the party

 

[Jono777]

No fresh battles being generated???

[Itaghai]

The battles just closed now both together

 

[09237653]

makes battles 8 mins then they might actually end at 10-12 mins.
to add: it only seems to happen to battles with non spinners (so like 95% of them)
(scratch that all battles are seemingly affected atm)

 

[erik1712]

my best battle weekend so far

 

[anddi32]

Also happens in battles where everyone plays their rounds

Ye. I just played a battle where everyone had played when six minutes were on the clock.
Had to wait a full time for the battle to close

I guess you would need to make them 2 or 3 minutes to actually close them on time

It feels like this 10 man battle is waiting for my other 30 man battle to reach the closure time so both could close at the same time.

 

[anddi32]

This is no small problem anymore when each battle takes an extra 3-5 minutes
And there is 24 hours still left. Please @Team.Videoslots do something

Try to reboot battles or something if issue is not located

Well over at Twitter they have rate limited everyone to either 6000 tweet reads for verified and 600 for unverified, It would not surprise me if they have rate limited the battles now too. So basically they have probably done this on purpose unless @Mr Wild says different haha, I obviously do not gamble now, so I was just merely having my say after reading peoples posts

 

[Jasminebed]

It is good to be back, and I am happy to play battles again. Unfortunately those of us in Ontario can’t play the 30 man ones.

 

[anddi32]

Okay it seemed that in the small hours the lag disappeared. I can't be 100% sure had to go to sleep about 02 GMT.
But those couple of hours went ok for me without any noticeable problems.

This issue is not a new issue. First time i saw it in some battle weekend this year. Some month at the beginning of the year (January?) and the problem started on sunday afternoon. At no point was the problem fixed or gone but the last eight hours were nothing but pain. That's all i remember. Lags were like yesterday sometimes over 5 mins and even the battles that were ready with zero non-spinners did not go into finished-mode on time. Like yesterday.

The reason why I find the problem very annoying is because when it starts it has never ended until the battles are over.
Happened in Battle weekend months ago, happened on thursday a week ago and thursday three days ago. Happened yesterday until small hours came in and without any fix it will also happen today i guess.

so that's why I hope someone even today sits on the technical team

Usually, Sunday is worst than Saturday, I'm pretty sure the issues will come back around 4 pm and will stay for a good while.
It looks to be related to the number of players playing the battles, it feels like their backend job used to close and calculate the battles is struggling to keep up, thus the delay in closing the battles.

 

[Itaghai]

Has anyone already got into a Druid Bonus on the Ave Caesar slot?
From the bonus buy option, it's a 120x worth bonus but after thousands of spins I didn't get a single one, I was wondering if anyone had got one already.

 

[Jono777]

None of us gamble on here, we are all innocent!

Before anyone gets on their high horse, this is a joke and the innocent quote is from the film Shawshank Redemption.

Geez it is pretty pointless when you have to preempt and explain yourself

Can see me quitting here long before I quit slots.

 

[spoo42]

Been playing since early evening yesterday.. until about 30 minutes ago, i hadnt had a natural bonus drop in, of either bonus.. i had 2 regular free spins bonuses from that wheel that pops up, and both were quite poor.

Then about half hour or so ago, I dropped the druid bonus in naturally which i was surprised after so many battles. Paid .. i think a little over 100x.

Yeah, the only bonus I got were through the wheel as well.

 

[Jono777]

Hit rate on both games is very poor, although for a RAW game I do actually reasonably like it.

Not bonused either today and yesterday think it was 2x hold re-spin, 2x fishes bonus and one of each FS's on the RAW game.

Not impossible but going to be have to be super lucky to bonus from the rewards, crossing my fingers for just a little excitement.

 

[spoo42]

Yeah it just doesn't like dropping either bonus in naturally - it took hours and hours of battles until finally getting it a little while ago, and the ones on the wheel didn't really pay much. I think the best wins ive had have been the randoms. (although the rock throwing random still amuses me filling the screen with a symbol , revealing a good mutiplier , then the symbol revealed is one of the lowest. )

yeah, the hit rate is quite bad but I think floating dragon got way more potential overall than the raw slot, even being half of the bet size.
I didn't open any reward yet, I decided to save them and open it later, filling a spreadsheet to have some statistics ?

I'm waiting to fill this up, I'm sitting at 137 rewards at the moment, had like 5 dead hours where I had like 1 win per hour

Compared to other Raw games i also dont mind it for the most part - and i certainly like it more than the original that it came from.

I think they are working on it, some battles got cancelled, they might be restarting them

 

[Alisa77]

1000+ queues then battles cancelled ?

 

[ihilty79]

They paid too many rewards and need to stop them going out

 

[Mr_Slot5]

Just to note if you were in a queue before the battles went awry, you'll need to leave the queue and then rejoin. They're working again now.

Left Q but cannot register

I didn't left the queue but I cannot leave it now somehow the battles now all say "closed"

 

[Mr_Slot5]

Weird, I left the queue and got straight into a battle once I rejoined.

I think the battles aren't closing properly.
Everyone has done their spins for over 5 minutes and the battle still open

And in the Ave Ceaser, there is one peson with 1 spin and the battle is over by 7 minutes

Edit: looking at the current ongoing battles, looks like there aren't battles generated for Floating Dragon as well.

 

[Alisa77]

Are the Battles ‘stuck’ again for anyone else too?
