Monthly contest

Post by VegasVic14 »

I play as much as I can (4-5 hrs / day) and I’m an accomplished player even in real casinos. Yet, I have 211 entries and the leader has 1,100+ . Are bots being used? Who can play this site 24/7?

You play between 1,000 and 3,000 hands a day lately.

Which is a lot, but yes we have a good number of people who play quite a bit more than that.

Bots are not permitted and we do have measures in place to detect them and ban members who try to do so. They also are not a very good means of earning drawing entries since you must earn a decent score in a session.

The key to earning drawing entries of course is to play as many of the contests each day as possible and to reach the minimum drawing score on as many sessions as possible.

The 5 or 6 people you see leading in drawing entries tend to play all of the contests every day, including Keno. Oh, to have that much free time... :)

Not just all that free time, but considering all the possible games being played, it’s amazing how they are able to actually obtain the minimum scores to earn entries. That indicates an extremely high level of skill and luck as both are components of VP success. With all that going for them, they should be playing in real casinos.

Anyone know where the “top 100” list disappeared to in the monthly game…and why? It was an interesting stat, especially as one tried to move up in rank.

The Top 100 is still visible on the Contests page. Was it somewhere else previously?

It’s not displaying for me-I’m playing on an iPhone- if that’s anything that might help.

Also—it disappeared coinciding with the new website change.

Yes, that helps a lot, thanks for the detail. It's back now.
