Re: Ideas to make contests more interesting

[QUOTE=Tedlark]  And when the game you choose gives you such a low chance of scoring high in a contest then you can blame nobody but yourself.   Did it ever occur to you that some us are playing not to win the daily contest but to get 5 points over the break even point.  Our goal is to accumulate total points. [/QUOTE]
  I took that into account but when you don't accumulate enough points in a contest session to earn an extra contest session then what good does it do?

The survey doesn't show me that it has recorded my answer so I will put it here...I
love the Daily Contests and Winner's Challenge.  I come close to being
in the top ten for the Winner's Challenge each month but never make it! 
I personally would be disappointed without it.Here's an idea that might keep everyone happy...During the first week offer 1 gameDuring the second week offer 2 gamesDuring the third week offer 3 gamesMy suggestions on games would be TDB, DDB and DBOr, take a poll on which games people want.

Since casino players will rarely continue playing a game or machine where they have 15 losing hands in a row, I would suggest loosening the odds a bit. Being stuck with one losing game after another makes people edgy as they would normally change games. Perhaps offer two games with  different strategies, like double bonus and Deuces Bonus.

Well, perfect for me.....   
Return the fomat to include game choices, discontinue Winner's Challenge, change amounts of deals on occasion to 5 or 10 play for monthly contests. AND allow more than one random winner for monthly contests. 
 
....I don't ask much....
 
Seriously, I would love to win top prize of a monthly contest but believe there is a better possiblility of winning a random drawing with the more more entries I accrue.  Can you take the money offered, or at least some of it, that has been used for the Winner's Challenge and offer it to more random drawing winners? 
 
...thanks for listening....

Only having one choice of game is not making it more interesting in my opinion.....

What if the one choice of game was rotated among all the old choices? JOB one day DW then DDB...the dreaded TDB once in awhile? That might be fun
