@cocopop3011 the rule regarding not repeating a slot is based on what criteria?

The slot shouldnt have featured on  the final leaderboard of past two Premium contests, correct? 

Because people submit screenshots from 3-4 games in every contest. We can't restrict all of those.

For the premium yes not for pragmatic. 

How would you like us for that long awaited division? Strictly Zeus vs Hades or any slot that has those mechanics?  

For example....Zeus vs Hades / Zeus vs Hades 250 / Angel vs Sinner 

[Icy]

Lol nvm I see we are picking slots and not causing members to divide. Thought those days were happening

[Flatzem888]

ok I had a look at the stats for the AG contests (not sponsored) we have had and and the 4 slots that have been used/abused to get onto the top 3 positions are these;

Angel vs Sinner              1st : 3, 2nd: 1, 3rd: 1
ZvH:GoW                      1st : 2, 2nd: 2, 3rd: 0
ZvH:GoW 250                  1st : 2, 2nd: 0, 3rd: 0
Thai Paradise                1st:  0, 2nd: 1, 3rd: 1

every other slot that made it to the podium, only made it once.

The Count                    1st : 1, 2nd: 0, 3rd: 0
Toshi Ways Club              1st:  0, 2nd: 1, 3rd: 0
True Love                    1st:  0, 2nd: 0, 3rd: 1
San Quentin II - Death Row   1st:  0, 2nd: 1, 3rd: 0
Dark Summoning               1st:  0, 2nd: 1, 3rd: 0

@cocopop3011 how about this rule you could bring in so we have more variety in these contests.

"if a slot has made a 1st placing more than 1 time, it is banned for the rest of the year.

by that rule that puts Angel vs Sinner (3 times), Zeus vs Hades: GoW (2 times), and Zeus vs Hades GoW 250 (2 times) into the time out for rest of the year.

or a slight different one

"if a slot has made a 1st placing more than 2 times, it is banned for the rest of the year.

by that rule puts Angel vs Sinner (3 times) into time out for rest of the year.

@cocopop3011 hopefully the contest is up tonight but if not I will start playing my slot as soon as it's 18 may gmt. 

Hopefully my hit is allowed as it's been allowed previously for other people.

Just to complicated to keep track of, these co tests already take up a lot of my time.

You just can’t pick the same game as last time. Doesn’t matter about the leaderboard. If you picked starburst last time for example. You can’t pick it again this time. It’s a really easy rule don’t know why it’s being complicated.

so you don't mind if the contests get dominated by the big 3 "Angel vs Sinner, Zeus vs Hades GoW, Zeus vs Hades GoW 250.

cause in the 10 AG contets this year, 7 times the 1st place went to a slot that was one of the big 3.

the "Big 3 slots" didn't just lock down 1st place 7 times—they actively suffocated the entire podium:

The Podium Monopoly (Out of 10 Contests)
1st Place: 7 times

2nd Place: 3 times

3rd Place: 2 times

That means out of 30 total podium spots available across those 10 contests, 12 of them were completely swallowed up by Angel vs Sinner, Zeus vs Hades GoW, and Zeus vs Hades GoW 250.

it clearly shows that these three specific games have a vice grip on the entire prize ecosystem, it’s a literal factory line for the grinders

ZvH has been "suffocating the podium" for a lot longer that. What is it, 3.5 years now? AvS not so much, even if it's the same concept it plays out very differently. I don't mind ZvH so much, it just gets a bit same old same old to see it win nearly every time but lately many slots from the likes of Hacksaw and a couple of others have given it good competition and even beaten it occassionally. Also, anyone grinding such slots for a longer time, does so at great risk of losing a few deposits before it hits so when they win with it, they've put in the hours and the hard work for it as well.
