Casino tourneys and bonuses

[Flatzem]

Hey all,

 

So made a few CR accounts, can have up to about 29 accounts (made only 5 so far) in the CR network and thinking hey I can get better chances of winning free entries to slot tourneys. Well it took a few weeks before agent jane delivered and then played the entry and then needed to deposit to pay for continues.  I didn't accept any offers but they threw in a bonus out of nowhere and said if I play then I'd have to wager 30xbonus. Well they credited the bonus after I had already started using my cash balance on continues.

 

Who knows what the rules really are maybe the customer service doesn't know for sure, if tourney continues/rebuys count as normal slot play, they should'nt. Since I was getting some conflicting answers I asked them to remove the bonus so as not to tie up the tourney cash (incase I cash in, was looking likely with 4 hours remaining in tourney) with the bonus wagering.

 

Does anyone have any experience with bonuses and tourney's such as if you deposit and claim a bonus or get credited a bonus, use the cash balance on tourney entries/continues/rebuys and with a bit of luck u cash in and before the tourney cash gets paid you can play out the bonus balance and if you don't meet wager requirements well if luck is in you have cashed in the tourney and no wagering requirements to mess things up. If you do somehow meet the wager requirements then you have both the cash from the bonus wagering if luck is in you also get cash from tourney.

 

 

 

Update: placed in the top 10, the free entry+5 continues wasn't enough, had to do a rebuy+5 continues.

Other notes: 63 entrants, (38 had a spin or more in round 1, 54 moved to round 2. In Round 2 only 32 had a spin or more, 38 moved to round 3 and in Round 3 only 31 had a spin or more. Noticed a player who in round 2 didn't have any spins still progressed to Round 3 and placed in top 5. Only 1 player made top 10, whom won their entry to the tourney via the qualifier tourney.

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, reluctantly (no free entry), 65 entrants, low scores on all 3 days (was outside top 20 on first two rounds, unlike previous tourney where I was in top 5 at end of first two rounds), unable to trigger feature. Unlike the previous tourney when hit feature 5 times during the duration of the tourney. Anyway 55 moved to round 2 (50 had a spin<- surprisingly large number), then 39 moved to round 3, (unknown number had a spin) and in round 3, 34 players had a spin. Only 2 players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (didn't rebuy this time). Then afterwards had a few spins on Agent Jane and after the first 7 dead spins she delivered and gave me back the cost of the 5 continues. Will probably take another shot at the next 1K3DS starts in 34 hours.

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, (no free entry), 69 entrants, again low scores on all 3 days (was outside top 20 on first two rounds), unable to trigger feature (now over 475 spins without feature). Anyway 59 moved to round 2 (51 had a spin), then 41 moved to round 3, (39 had a spin) and in round 3, 36 players had a spin. Only 2 players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (didn't re-buy this time).

Only 1 player made top 10, whom won their entry to the tourney via the qualifier tourney.
One player has been in the top 10 of the last 3 1K3DS tourneys.

Then afterwards had a few spins on Agent Jane and hit a couple of features (back to back) to get back the cost of buy-in+continues and plenty more! thanks Jane once again.

Will probably take another shot at the next 1K3DS where hopefully the feature drought ends and finish in top 10 again.

Good luck with the tournaments and don't forget to keep us updated!

 

Would be really awesome if a fellow AskGamblers member manage to win one of these Microgaming tournies!  

[Fiekie247]

If only i could play Microgaming tourneys i would participate.

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, (no free entry), 69 entrants, (was outside top 20 end of first round, inside top 20 end of 2nd round), feature finally arrived during the 1st set of spins in round 3 and once again during 1st continue. Anyway 59 moved to round 2 (50 had a spin), then 41 moved to round 3, (40 had a spin) and in round 3, 35 players had a spin. Only 1 players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues, the last 2 continues turned out not to be needed but I wasn't taking the chance of being overtaken in the last half hour by persistent regs. (5 active players in the last 45minutes). (Best base game win was a 82.625xBet. 33,050 on a 400 coin bet)

Placed in the top 10.

Only 1 player made top 10, whom won their entry to the tourney via the qualifier tourney.

Will probably take another shot at the next 1K3DS where can hopefully make it back to back top 10 finishes.

So did you win a prize for being in top 10

[Flatzem]

So did you win a prize for being in top 10

 

all top 10 finishers win €100 each.

[cocopop3011]

all top 10 finishers win €100 each.

 

Can't complain with that!

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, (no free entry), 72 entrants (highest number in the last 5 tourneys?),
(top 10 end of first round, had 2 features), outside top 20 at end of 2nd round. Anyway 61 moved to round 2 (unknown # had a spin), then 43 moved to round 3, (45 had a spin) and in round 3, 38 players had a spin. Zero players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (didn't re-buy).

Then afterwards had spins on Agent Jane and hit a couple of features to get back some of the cost of buy-in+continues (but not all of it). Features were 25.67xBet and 48.67xbet. Most dissapointing was the 2nd feature that had a retrigger. Shoulda Coulda Woulda been much more. Outside of the features best base game hit was a 22.2xBet when four diver janes with wild showed up but on reel 5 they put a diver on middle of the reel instead of the bottom. Standard near miss tease.

fun facts:

• one reg failed to play in the 2nd round, and didn't progress to 3rd. (yes the same reg that didn't play the 2nd round a few tourneys ago, in that one he was lucky to progress to 3rd round and then placed top 5)
• another reg that scored low in the 2nd round on his first set of spins used a continue to ensure he moved to 3rd round
• but another reg missed out moving to 3rd round by one spot (he woulda had a dissapointing suprise in the morning when checking if he progressed or not, nooooo how dare they not let me into 3rd round, don't they know who I am, I'm a reg!)

Will probably take another shot at the next 1K3DS.

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, (no free entry), 77 entrants, (outside top 30 end of first round), outside top 20 at end of 2nd round (one feature). Anyway 65 moved to round 2 (58 had a spin), then 46 moved to round 3, (52 had a spin) and in round 3, 45 players had a spin. Three players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (no features)(didn't re-buy).

 

notes: the previous tourney entrant numbers have been: 63, 65, 69, 69, 72, 77 (whats with the increase in participation?)

Are the amount of continues unlimited?

[Flatzem]

Are the amount of continues unlimited?

 

5 continues per buy-in, and maximum of 15 re-buys.

Had a shot at the 2K_3DS tourney, (free entry), 63 entrants, (outside top 20 end of first round), outside top 20 at end of 2nd round. Anyway 54 moved to round 2 (50 had a spin), then 38 moved to round 3, (36 had a spin) and in round 3, 35 players had a spin. Three players that placed in top 10 previous 2K_3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (1 feature)(didn't re-buy).

May be taking another shot at the next 2K_3DS with a free entry as it looks like one of my runners at the 2KSQ freeroll is looking like winning another free entry.

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, (no free entry), 71 entrants, (inside top 10 end of first round [one feature]), outside top 20 at end of 2nd round. Anyway 60 moved to round 2 (55 had a spin), then 42 moved to round 3, (50 had a spin) and in round 3, 37 players had a spin. Three players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time (one player has 3 wins in a row). In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (no features)(didn't re-buy).

Will probably take another shot at the next 1K3DS (its been 3 losing 1K3DS tourneys in a row).

Had a shot at the 2K_3DS tourney, (free entry), 61 entrants, (outside top 20 end of first round), outside top 20 at end of 2nd round. Anyway 52 moved to round 2 (44 had a spin), then 36 moved to round 3, (33 had a spin) and in round 3, 31 players had a spin. Two players that placed in top 10 previous 2K_3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 20 (didn't re-buy).

 

So far this year played in four survivor tourneys and finished outside of top 20 in all of them. Meanwhile there is a player that has played in all six survivor tourneys this year and has placed in the top 10 in all of them.

 

No 2K_3DS next week for me as didn't win a free entry for it (no free entries won for any of next weeks survivors) and by the way it's been going so far this year that will save me 12.50e by not using them on the 5 continues if it went to the 3rd round.

Had another shot at the 1K3DS tourney, (no free entry), 60 entrants, (outside top 20 end of first round, outside top 20 at end of 2nd round. Anyway 51 moved to round 2 (41 had a spin), then 36 moved to round 3, (36 had a spin) and in round 3, 34 players had a spin.
Four players that placed in top 10 previous 1K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished outside of top 10 (two features)(didn't re-buy).

Will probably take another shot at the next 1K3DS (its now 4 losing 1K3DS tourneys in a row and total of 5 losing tourneys so far this year out of 5 tourneys). (3x 1K3DS + 2x 2K3DS)

 

Here are the winners list of the first 8 survivor tourneys of this year. The regs with their re-buys are getting the advantage of having more chances of placing in top 10.

Had a shot at the 3K3DS tourney, (free entry), 60 entrants, (inside top 20 end of first round (one feature), inside top 20 at end of 2nd round (one feature). Anyway 51 moved to round 2 (46 had a spin), then 36 moved to round 3, (44 had a spin) and in round 3, 35 players had a spin.
Two players that placed in top 10 previous 3K3DS, made the top 10 this time. In round 3, used 5 continues but it was no use and finished inside of top 20 (no features!)(didn't re-buy).

When will this losing agony come to an end? (its now 6 losing tourneys this year out of 6) (3x 1K3DS + 2x 2K3DS + 1x 3K3DS).... -84.50EUR loss on these tourneys.

Also currently playing in the 1K3DS via a free entry. (moved to Rd2).
