<<<4a. EW Slot Tourneys this week
Posted by: "GRAYTLEEGRAY@aol.com" GRAYTLEEGRAY@aol.com bluestreak86001
Well Marnell looks to be going hog wild with the first ever slot tourneys
they are offering this week. I hope we can get some feedback to evaluate
the
value of them.>>>
Participated in the $25K slot tourney on Tue/Wed & the structure was free
play prizes on Tue & Wed to top scores on ea day & top 100 scores from ea day
went to finals on Wed. You could qualify more than once as I did on Tue with 2
in the top 100. You had 1 free entry ea day + max of 4/day at 350 pts/$ of
play/entry. Since this was their first time running it, I think they did as
best they could in getting people through (5-min rds) but ea rd took about 15
min to record, clear & restart with enthusiastic emcee pumping up the energy.
Probably will use lessons learned in this weekend's $100k tourney. Prize
structure for final:
1st $5000 cash (had the happy experience of watching a nice LOL get 8700
for 1st, told her don't stop hitting the buttons. This was 1st rd & told her
she had 1st as best previous score was 7990 & it turned out she was 1st by a
lot.
to 12th $100 cash
13th $500 FP (yep that's right)
to 75th $25 FP
I got $100 FP.
I didn't play it as I didn't want to bring my trip ave down just to get it.
FP stays on card.
Re Gold/Silver cards: they're still giving them out to qualified players but
not all qualified players are getting them. Players who have abused this
privilege have been cut off. What's abuse? Don't know their definition but card
is good for up to 2 people. Hosts have told me that they've had players walk
out of a restaurant leaving the card to pay for 8 people. Another form of
abuse is charging tips to card. Card CAN NOT be used for tipping. Must leave
cash. I made this mistake when I first used it but I went out of my way to make
it up to the waiter. Some just continually stiff them. So they're now
complaining about not having a card.
