You are first to jump from the Balkony Stuntman

I survived the jump. I just bounced straight back up.

I played like a dervish 5 days ago on 30p spins for 3 hours and I just found myself being in some sort of battle. I got nothing from it after blowing £250 on the slot during that time.
Maybe you have to be very canny in choosing your time to play and what slot to play in order to benefit at all from these new battles? I've not had time to check it all out properly yet so I will reserve my judgement

Its not going to be worth chasing the fs in any of the spin clash . Literally need to do 1000s of spins to win 5 or 10 fs . Even if you do minstake bets the whole time the fs will still only be worth <0.5% of the actual amount you wagered
If you want to try and win the clash haha good luck you'd better find a fast slot and have a big bankroll to win your 100 fs on rocket fellas

So much for Videoslots being an advocate for responsible gambling and gambling being "a positive form of entertainment"

well i for one dont see the rewards to players in it at all
my deposits for last week was $1931 my rewards 5 spins on Esqueleto Explosivo where i won 3 cent and 10 spins on Gemix where i won nothing
i wanna be rewarded for my play no matter what time it
i sit down and play regardless when next clash is starting
i will play at VS regardless of races or clashes as they are top notch when it comes to payouts and support.

Shows how good we had it there, for a long time

I think if they're that intent on cutting costs then just get rid of the Races altogether and keep Cashback.

Just getting less for the same price, they re-name it something else and call it an improvement. Like Apple products

But at least with Apple products you can make Cider so you can get pissed in order to get over your losses

£2.50 worth of spins after wagering £1000's over 2 hours is not conductive to responsible gambling. I can see these races dying a death because only those who where going to play anyway on a high stake while fast spinning will benefit by default. Everyone else will just not bother.
When will the Friday cash back get changed?

 

[robby811]

Not bad for the 250€ wagering for the 15FS xD

I think that we should not take any of kickbacks as a "get rich" scheme, they never will. Just like at any other casino, they are retention tools which can give you a boost once in a while.

I am pretty sure if you collect once a day a reward from the COS that at least once a week you will get some good pays from them which will be at least similar to the usual race winnings.

Personally, I look at it like an add-on and do not concentrate at all where I rank. Can't be bothered, to be honest. TBH, I favored as well the once a week race winnings as you got it in a lump sum, with races it is more like a drip-feed.

But I agree to a part that races are not in the best interest of responsible gambling. Especially for people who are competitive or prone to hunt such rewards as the races will increase the desire to keep spinning. On the other hand, they are just for 2 hours, which is usually a normal session length. Some days you will be lucky and win some FS, some days you won't.

I think the Races and Cashback were always supposed to be extras, just that we've been spoilt and conditioned into angling for them, over many years.

Retention-tool or not they surely served the player more than the casino, and with that players learnt to erm 'optimize' returns on meagre deposits. I actually pondered many a time how VS even made profit, let alone break even.

But from a business perspective they've played the long game and are now more than entitled to crunch numbers. The fact that they even revamped the Races instead of binning them off is great testament to their ethic

 

[Jayjay231221]

Rubbish who wants a few 20p spins for hundreds of wagering not me!

 

[Reelsoffun]

I think that the races were a perfect retention tool esp for the lower rollers, while I still love VS for many other reasons I have to admit for the first time in many months I have now deposited at 3 other casinos since the change, as its clear im never gonna qualify for many FS and I would expect many more low rollers could possibly cut back or jump ship over it. I mean it was never a lot but it was a bit of playtime every week which is important to low rollers.

Like others have said it is what it is, just think they would have been better cutting the prize money on the old way and less places than the 11,000 players.


I guess if in a few months they change it back to similar to what it was it could be an indicator that we are right, that that new system wasn't working as well to retain players LOL

I agree as it is now, it is not perfect for low nor for high rollers.

But once they deploy the other two race types it will change as the bet size won't matter in equalized races. And they will probably do specials in between to keep the momentum.

I think its a matter of time and the cashback will be history too

 

[Harry_BKK]

I don't think it will as that is the main attraction at VS other than the BoS.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Yeah that would definitely hurt VS if they got rid of that its a very big pull for players, low and high rollers.

Maybe it would be nice to rejig the prizes and have 3 players from the finished leaderboard chosen at random to win an extra prize of 50 free spins, or something like that. This way even if you've only managed to scrape onto the table you've still got a chance of something extra on top of your 5 spins, and stops lower-rollers despairing that the top prizes are always sewn up by the speed-merchants, or that you've only got a chance if you start playing as soon as the Clash opens.

There is quite a lot of scope for some interesting and exciting one-off races with this CoS concept. It will be intriguing to see what happens...
