Pragmatic's Social Tournament Progress

[Flatzem]

in one of my cash clash sessions I got the balance to over 85K but I ran out of time as I was nearing my way to the top 21 (top 21 were getting the cash prizes)....kept doing lots of bonus buys as high as 8K per bonus buy , 21st place was on around 117K... if only there had been more time. I started my session only in the last 1 hour or so remaining that night.

in another night the player in 1st place had over a 700K balance.

Thanks for sharing some fun experiences @Flatzem
That's a bummer running out of time! Hope that one hour was truly entertaining at least

felt like I was a high roller if only for the hour or so. first slot on $100 spins hit a feature in the first few spins got the balance to 25K then went to another slot on $125 spins had several features and some good base wins, got to around 30 to 35K balance then went to Sweet Xmas Bonanza and thats where the bonus buying frenzy started, during one of the bonuses buys it did drop in the 100x multiplier, some bonuses paid about 20K to 35K.  there was a lot of fluctuations during those bonus buys, getting to 55K then dropping down to my last 8K then back up and down then rising to 85k or so and then time ran out... I kept an eye on the time so not only was I playing against the slot rng but against time as well.

I honestly like the cash clash tourney but only do bonus buys.

now they are doing Discord exclusive tourneys but I don't use discord.

If only AG could have regular on-going contests to keep me occupied, then I would completely avoid those ****** ST tourneys!

Or atleast if the reviews comes back. Could be writing about all those games I played for contest and review those games.

Unfortunately, we have no current plans to bring these contests back.

That may be true @cocopop3011, but I meant contests that I can enter and play. Some competitions by casinos are not for me, for one reason or another, so I'm left out behind.

Wish our beloved Pragmatic Play rep, @Jelena_PragmaticPlay can ensure that we get the same PP Screenshots Contest each and every month...that would be so so lovely...and desirable!

Well, I had that feeling ever since GiG took over AG...and did say that they'd probably remove those paid reviews, especially the game reviews.

Working on it for sure
I'm just thinking of something fresh, but I'd like to hear from you what kind of contest you'd enjoy most as a next one - are you good with latest concept or you'd like other criteria to compete on? Maybe STs?

@Afi4wins what's up with Cash Clash?

May I know what is meant by the latest concept please?

As long as it involves getting screenshots from real money play (no boost bets, no bonus buys), then I'm okay with that my dear. I HATE ST Tourneys, no need to say why again, so no ala ST contest pleeeease!

I find Cash Clash simply wasting my time, effort and ST Coins!

In one day alone, I played more than 10 Cash Clash tourneys (that's more than 5000 coins spent), couldn't be bothered with the actual number of times played, but on the last game I played (Queenie again, for the x number of times) I was extremely disappointed to no end, so I simply quit playing for that day!

The games without Bonus Buys went on and on with dead spins, couldn't even get any feature within 500 spins and more, and when I got them, they paid 10x-30x win. What the heck maaaan! It ate 500x and paid 30x???!!!

Sorry @Jelena_PragmaticPlay, I'm not complaining or looking at you, but that's how ST games have been to me for years now.

why stop such a good thing for the players. couldn't be cost cutting could it? I have always enjoyed reading members opinions/experiences on various slots and see the screenies. Before jumping in to play a slot not played before I'd read reviews.

if it's a contest to do with ST that would be a good thing, you wouldn't be using up your own real money yet would be playing for real money prizes. But also you wouldn't be up against thousands of other ST players but only against less than dozen from AG.

Social tournaments are banned for us. Cant even register using VPN as you have to add address and all other personal details. I wish Pragmatic were a bit flexible for people who wanted to try their tournaments from restricted countries. Maybe allow people to register themselves as residents of Pragmatic States of Slot players or United Pragmatic Kingdom.

We already have thousands of reviews being submitted and reviewed by the team without contests, so in effect this means we no longer to offer incentives to write them.

Exactly my thinking @cocopop3011 !!! Why need to pay for reviews when reviews are already pouring in on their own, right?

Yes, it's a big loss to us review writers but I hope GiG/AG could sustain/maintain a good prize pool for all the regular contests at AG. A give-and-take exchange sort of a way.

Yours may sound like a good idea bro, but honestly, do you think Pragmatic would dish out 2000 EUR real money (as an example) for something won at ST, played for free, or using ST coins?

They need the real money revenue exchange too, vis-a-vis, but it'll be a wonderful miracle if free ST screenshots can actually win real cash money for us AG players!

Yes unfortunately  

However, all I can promise you is that both myself and @ValDes are trying hard to get to get new things in the forum. For now this is going to take time, sorry.

one of the nice things about taking part in screenshot contests is that it would also be a way to obtain screenshots and write reviews for them thus in addition to the prizemoney from the screenie contests there would be money coming in from the slot game review writing. Thus there would also be incentive to try new games cause new games mean new screenshots for new game reviews.

the thousands of reviews are not required to be at least 300 words in length. they can just say a few words, or 150 characters and be done with it. What we as real players did was write quality reviews with 300 words minimum, most cases way past that 400 or 500. Plus you know we were real players cause we were verified. So I think now the quality of reviews will go way down guaranteed.
