Slots Adventures

ahhh, this was a pleasant surprise.  there is a new tournament starting up on the Wheel of Chance slot game that runs from the 3rd to the 7th of November at English Harbour. 

 it’s free to enter, like a LOT of the english harbour events.  the prizes are a combination of bonus money and cash.  the bonus money awards go to the top 10 finishers, so there is certianly a premium being placed on doing wayyyy above average here.

the cash goes to the top 3 spots.  right now there’s $147.50 in the cash pool and $250 in the bonus money pool, so the stakes are way down from last month’s mega-tourney, but hey, it’s spins on a great machine, with prize money for those who do well.  this is some honest fun for the daily player.

you start out the tourney with $300 in tournament credits.  right now the leaders have $34,000 (that’s right, well $33,900, but what’s $100 when you get it that high!) and $13,000.  so, there’s a lot of catching up to do.

i’m going to start off with  $.50 coins, so that’s $10 a spin.  no sense in burning off all my credits right away, but what use is pecking away with small winners by playing nickels?  this is a tourney where i think you should go relatively big, or just skip it, hehe.

so, with 30 spins to start out with . . . i manage to hit a set of free spins by landing three scatter symbols.  and i have to say, it was looking pretty bleak before i did that.  i thought for sure i’d be writing that i pissed almost all my credits right down the drain.  whew, now things aren’t looking so bleak

i’m sitting in 88th place though, with a little more than what i started with.  there’s $386 in credits to work with.  as for as much as i’d like to just stop and save it for another session, i’m going away this weekend so i won’t be able to get back to playing.  so, here’s goes nothing . . .

well, after $1780 in $10 wagers, plus 20 free spins, my experience in the Wheel of Chance tournament came to an end.  i never did get up to $400, but a couple of times i hit the free spins cycle to keep from going broke.

i guess it just wasn’t in the cards for this one.
