Gold Exclusive
My Favorites
Well, this will be the last post. Webman this contest has finally driven me
away. With 10,190 points I think this may be the closest I have come to the top fifty. All of the other contests I have palyed on this site I don't think I was even close to the top 100. Hope the rest of you have enough luck to get past 10K points, get Xpays and have something to draw to, get
umpteen 2/3/4 and get something besides 2 pr or three of a kind, get 3 of a kind dealt and get the fourth, I sure can't.
March Contest: Super Times Pay!

With more than 6,000 people playing the contests, only 1 in 60 people will reach the top 100, so that isn't surprising. If we had a contest every month, it could be more than 5 years before all of the current players reach that goal. That's what makes it a real accomplishment when it happens.Remember that any score over 3,600 in a session would be a good day at the casino. The top scores here are always hard to reach because the top scores are from the best of literally millions of hands.Sorry you haven't had better luck.

Webman - what happened to the Chats? Are you just barring the non-paying members from watching the Gold folks chat?
I can't afford a membership - but being a fly on the wall during the chats made the contests more enjoyable. Am not spending as much time here this time.........

Chat will be visible for basic members during some contests and not others, so it's not gone forever. Glad to hear you like it, even just to watch!

I have come to the conclusion that you must be a gold member to have any chance of competing in these contest.
Iam a free member and have played in 6 contest so far and have never even gotten close. Right now top score is 51,400 and my top score is 6,700.
At least as a free player I get a realistic representation of what the machines will pay out at the casino. Gold members may be in for a surprise when they get their free rooms and tokens.lol.
Iam almost 50 years old and no what Iam talking about.Been to Atlantic City many times. I think its a shame that these contest are rigged for the gold members. You can set these games loose [gold member] or actual pay[free member].

Your top score, and mine, are about the same in the contest. I'm not happy about mine, either.
I just checked the top 10 scores for the previous 6 contests. Of those 60 scores, only 12 belong to Gold members.

Reflection alert? Is that particular franchise about to be rebooted, again?
Bubbagene, you have pretty good short-term rigging detection skills to pick up on that your first day, after six sessions. Most of us who whine about not making the leader board (Gold and non-Gold alike) usually wait a few months before starting in, after umpteen sessions.

You can set these games loose [gold member] or actual pay[free member]. Of the current top 5 scores, only the 2nd place score is a Gold member.
The rest are basic members.

are the top scores so high? I can't get anywhere close!

Gold members have an advantage in the contests?
