Casino Big Win Competition coming up

[JeppeL]

It's a nice overall prizepool I think - there'll be a UO package for the winner and entries to the Malta Rumble poker final for 2nd and 3rd on top of a bit of cash. Also, we're highly considering including Multifruit81 - the peoples slot - where most players can spin for as little as €0.02 :)

Multifruit 81 is a fine addition, even though it's not available in Romania (Please wait. Complaints loading...) :)

@JeppeL

Really nice prices :)

I thought about suggesting multifruit too but then i thought that because of the very small round spin, would that be only slot that everyone will play? I know i would :D Which would be quite boring, imo. You can easily win huge with that slot, just need to hit those wilds.

[VikingsAF]

Why are all these nice comps (this one together with the 10k giveaway) right after I gave myself a 365 days no-deposit limit :(

Also @JeppeL how does the new bonus system work on Unibet? Because for feb and march I'm fairly sure I wagered way more than ever before and never got any bonusses (where I in the past at least got 5x2 FBM when I accidentially wagered/threw away 100 euro (only))

[Nospheratu]

Personally i'd rather have the prize as regular bonusmoney than the equivalent value of some poker ticket. It takes a lot of time to master properly and for those not really into the game it's quite likely to turn into a major flop (no pun).

[BonusPater]

Even though a Malta package isn't that interesting to me, as I live here and the hotel room would be useless, I think it's nice with a different prize for these casino tournaments. There're bonus money, free spins etc. on offer all the time. Even if you're not good a poker (I suck myself, but still cashed in the first live tournament I ever played - a side event at Unibet Open), it can still be a really great experience; meeting other members, experiencing Malta, going for the players party etc.

[Nospheratu]

I don't think there's an intrinsic value of changing things up; the fact that it has always has been FBM/free spins is because it makes sense - after all, we are slot players by default. Assuming however that someone is a poker player is a leap of faith that's more likely to be proven wrong than right.

I mean yeah i could show up in Malta just to donk out but i don't think that should really be the idea behind it. If it was a sport that i may not be invested in i could see your point better because i'm a passive spectator but doing something actively that i should be skilled in but am not is a different situation.

 

 

 

[Livertool]

I was going to ask at some point that could there be a special price if someone hits over x1000 win, like uo malta package or at least chance to buy one with huge discount and here we go, not even need for x1000 win :) :Thumbsup:

I´m getting way ahead here but what about those 2-3 places rumble tickets if someone like me excluded from poker? @JeppeL

[BonusPater]

@Nospheratu, I get your "if it aint broke, don't fix it", but I don't agree that it doesn't have value to mix things up a bit. For Unibet there're obvious benefits of doing the cross-selling - they can get poker players to try out the slots, and casino players might get more interested in poker.

For some players it'll be nice with a change, and getting the chance to win a great experience rather than bonus money will add to the excitement. However, I also understand that to some it's more interesting with the bonus money from a financial perspective.

NB don't think you have to be super skilled to enjoy playing live poker, and the Unibet Open is about much more than just playing the main event.

[Nospheratu]

It does have value but not in and of itself  is what i was trying to say, meaning it depends on the situation. Poker players could've always tried out slots anyway, however non-poker players getting into poker there's an obvious treshold that needs to be passed. The thing is as a beginner you're not really on a learning process either when being mixed up with everything from good amateurs to pro's but will rather lose without coming out much smarter to show for it, won't know how to utilize the information of what transpired. As far as introductions goes you start maybe on a 1€ or 2€ buy-in, when you're on 1000€ it doesn't serve that purpose anymore it becomes something completely different.

Why is the division between experience or  financial? They are intertwined. Being competitive enough to win is part of the experience in it's own right and with prizes like 50,000€ it's not an aspect i would put as merely a novelty.

I agree with you @Nospheratu. Because I don`t see the point to win poker-tickets in a Casino-tournament. If so this competition should rather be posted in the Poker-forum.That`s my opinion even I will not join it :)

[Livertool]

Jesus Christ again. They add prices just out of genorisity to competition but not good at all, lets cry a little bit :waterfall: 

That is what i always do too when i play lottery, complain to lotto company, why can´t prices be in supermodels instead of money.

I don´t think there is any rule in community that they HAVE TO arrange any competitions or give any prices so i gladly take anything they are offering, which in this case are awesome imo. And if prices aren´t what i need/want/would accept, then i wouldn´t join in. 

[VikingsAF]

@Nospheratu@ they don't do the competition for you. So please stop crying.

Unibet wants to promote poker to their biggest market (slots and betting) and that's why you get these prizes in slot competitions. That way you get poker players to play slots and slot players to play poker. Win-win.

But it's clear that you're not the marketing genius ;) 

Always remember... Nobody obliges you to participate

[Nospheratu]

Unlike you two i had actual arguments to what i was saying so i'll just leave it at that.

@steppek77 Yes something like that is what i think. The prize is not bad by any means it's just that it doesn't reach it's potential for a non-poker player to be sent to a tournament with experienced competition at different levels. That opportunity should be given to someone already into poker wich is a stance you've taken by participating in a poker-subforum competition so if you're inexperienced when winning your ticket, it's all on you.

[BonusPater]

@Nospheratu, I disagree with pretty much everything you’re saying :D
Cross-sell promos have a lot of value to Unibet. “Poker players could've always tried out slots anyway” is pretty much the same as saying “new players might have tried the site without deposit bonuses and welcome offers in general”.

Our disagreement is mainly due to the fact that you focus on the financial aspect and I focus on the experience - no, these are not necessarily intertwined. The package can give you an unforgettable experience, no matter how good you are at poker, and even the experience at the table can be amazing. Don’t see why you must have a goal of winning the tournament.

Again, you’re not just getting a seat at the main event. You’re getting: flight to and from Malta in May (great time of the year to visit the island), access to players party where you’ll be treated like a king/queen, seat at community side event where you’ll get to play a friendly game of poker with some great people, free stay at a great hotel, likely an invitation to a private bbq with other community members. You can spend the time however you want. Hell, you don’t even have to play any poker. 

The promo might not appeal to you and steppek, but I’m sure it’ll appeal to members who’ve never taken part in any of the past casino promos, because they’ve only been able to win bonus money (can’t be used in the poker client) and free spins. At the end of the day you can’t please everyone :)

[VikingsAF]

@Nospheratu the easiest way is to say "you don't have any arguments" while I gave enough.

Unibet is the company and they know exactly what they need to do to gain the most profit ;) 

I got hooked to Unibet Poker because of the live event I went to, and I didn't have any experience as a poker player either at that moment... Now I play enough poker for Unibet to make profit because of me ;)

[RayL]

Soooo I was reviewing the slot recomandations tonight and playing around a bit in the company of a big glass of chilled apple juice :) and after 3 spins on €0.20 Sakura trigered it's Free Spins resulting is a 96.6 Multiplier. I think she's a keeper :P
Was thinking on adding Ted and some other slots to the list as well but since they wouldn't be available for all our Community Players I would personally leave them out for the fairness of this promotion.
Other slots that we are considering are Matsuri, Bloodsuckers II, Vikings go Wild and Piggy Riches.
What do you guys think?

 

[pittpitt]

sakura fortune I like...i wouldnt mind some high variance thunderkick like falcon huntress,pink elephant play n go planet fortune !

in the end i just hope i can join this promo , as i end a blew it mod week loll

 

[WarawaDK]

250

[WarawaDK]

3900

[Nospheratu]

I would put Jack and the Beanstalk over Piggy Riches. Book of Ra, Jackpot 6000 and Dead or Alive have also been good suggestions so far.

[Rushbie]

Matsuri would be a nice game to play longer periods, but due to it's minimum real money stakes (0.50€), it can get quite expensive here if there's no big hits relatively soon.. Not sure are the min stakes that in every country tho, mixed info or a bug? :speechless: @RayL

[BonusPater]

@Rushbie, the min stake is 0.25 at Unibet's competitors, so it's a bit weird that it's 0.50 here. I also feel like it was 0.25 when it was launched, but that's probably wrong. @Ken-Unibet can Unibet get the same min stake as all other sites? :)

[VikingsAF]

I would also agree that the min stake should be the same on all games :)

Altough it's true that bigger spenders should be able to win the bigger prizes more easily

[RayL]

Hey guys, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I've asked for more info regarding the minimum bet on Matsuri.
Since we are talking about it, Matsuri is a candidate for the Slots eligible for tomorrow's Big win kickoff, so for the moment the minimum stake will remain as it is until we have official word back from the providers. Just a heads up.
@pittpitt thanks allot for the recomandation, I had a look at them last night but they are not accessible on all markets, if implemented it might result in dissatisfaction for some players so I would realy like to avoid this. What do you think?
Also what do you peeps think about this line up:

Let me know, down bellow :)
