47 games - yikes!


So far have been able to complete all the puzzles in less than 12 games as well - but the last puzzle piece has been different every day. One day the last piece to complete was coming in 3rd, then the next day it was playing 9 games ... then the day after that it was winning 2 games, and the day after that it was being dealt the 4x multiplier.

Am not making much money playing these Spins - actually seem to be making more with The Deal this month


GL everybody!!

I must be running good. I haven't played since Sunday, but of the three times I have played ($1 games) I've won a total of $16 from the games, $4.50 in bonus, and it's taken 12, 14, and 12 games respectively. My last challenges have been finish 3rd, play three 2x in a row, and play 12 games. Spinball has been good to me

Jacks or Better on the other hand, not so good

UL to get the 12 spins like Anuj for the flipper instead of 9, so really nice going with the results there karter!!


Am up something like $5 after playing every day, so that's all promo money - guess Spinball's also been a chance to earn some extra Starscoins, so will have plenty in the bank to play The Deal (where the real monies are at ... at least for me lol )

If The Deal keeps returning ~$10/month, guess by the end of the year will have made enough from playing that silly game to cover my losses from making an ill-timed investment in gold today? So guess that's not such a bad *Deal*


PS. Wasn't happy with Jacks or Better as well

PPS. Wonder if there's any pros playing at the $1 level? Can't tell?

i havent played in a while and the deal was only available on tilt and some promotions were site specific, but that doesnt seem to be the case now. i see the deal available on stars and tilt promotions are accessible via stars

i just want to uninstall one of the clients if everything is available to both, but i will keep both clients if there are differences

Seems now we can confirm 100% that Tilt is hust a SKIN now. Since The Deal was the final unique feature. Other than the cartoon avatars (static used to have 4 "emotions" ffs )

On my Android it appears to force an update to both same day to.

Today is definitely my worst Spinball day. I'm up to tournament number 25. Only one I'm missing is "win >4x multiplier". Not because I can't win a game today (although I am struggling), exactly 22 of those 25 games have been 2x multipliers (I counted).

Make that 23 of 26 as I start another one.
EDIT: 24 of 27
EDIT 2: 25/28
EDIT 3: Holy cow, 25/29!
EDIT 4: Done.

Well sometimes i am lucky so up to now i have played around 5 days, 1$ spns and every time i completed the challenge in up to 10 games, price won 1-2.5 $ and on the table at least 1$ up to 6$ per day.
Feels nice to run good in higher multiples.
Gl and HF playing this spins

Yeah actually often having challenge going over 20+ spins makes me not even trying to complete it more days than not. And then i try these two days, and this peculiar bug happens, also.

-I can't see which of the challenges i actually completed and which ones are left. None of them on the pinball puzzle ever grey out aynmore, i have no idea. I can see '7 active, 4 completed' but not which ones, as depicted:


This is very tilting since challenges seem to change daily so if i sometimes get stuck with something unrealistically far and unachievable like 'win a 4x multiplier' lololo... i think it is in Stars better interest not to keep many people in dark frustrated like this.

Anyway SN is the same and anyone of reps can feel free to look up the issue on my account. I wouldn't really even bother to start emailing with @support cause @support doesn't really speak English anymore...

In the image you posted I see that the chute on the right, the central logo, the flipper on the left, and the Tilt piece are not greyed out (i.e. are completed).

Is it that the contrast is not clear enough, or is there some other problem?
***PokerStars Promotions Ideas/Suggestions/Opinions Thread*** Quote

No mang its just the contrast/ colors trust me.

Anyway the completed ones are the ones that grey out and here i had 4 already completed as the counter shows on the left... But NONE on the puzzle ever do, get greyed anymore.

-They were greying out right until the other day, then all just stopped...

The greyed out ones are the ones that have not been completed yet. The picture is perfectly accurate based on your main challenges screen. If you aren't sure, just click on the individual pieces.

Nothing, gets greyed in my challenges window anymore. Finished or unfinished ones it doesn't even matter.. -Some fields only appear slightly greyed because, contrast. For couple days now, nothing changes on the picture with the challenge progress. No, the ones you guys think you recognized as finished/ un-greyed, because of screenshot colors, don't even add up with active/completed counter when clicking through fields.

Support even recognized the problem, sent me the list of challenges, These you completed today dear Prs, these you still need too... They advise backing up user files removing then reinstalling software. I couldn't yet bother to do it for 1$ a day/ 15 spingos. Will get to it before the end of promo, if Stars don't abruptly end it again for giving out Too much, that is. Then i'll post the outcome but no it just isn't working for now.....

Trying to complete all the pieces of spin n go puzzle but it seems to be taking forever to collect the "Play Field - Play three Spin & Go's with 2X multiplier in a row" piece. Yes you can say that I'm lucky to hit 4x/6x multiplier every other game or so but so far I've played 16 games and yet to win this one and I'll have to play another 3 or maybe more (so at least 19 games) to complete this full puzzle which I don't think is worth playing at all.

@HostJacob/Stars Rep -- Please have a look at this challenge/piece - maybe modify to 2 games in a row or play 3 games with 2x multiplier with no order.

After my last ordeal of getting the 2x multiplier in 25 of 29 games, I hate you so much right now... (my first time playing the three 2x was my last as well).

hi,
wanted to ask about spinball promo. you doubled only top prize or whole structure is doubled? what a surprise you info is not updated accordingly.

It's not Pokerstars anymore, it's Amayastars. Sloppinesses like these are the rule not the exception.
***PokerStars Promotions Ideas/Suggestions/Opinions Thread*** Quote

Yeah it's only the theoretical top prize that's doubled. No change in reality.
***PokerStars Promotions Ideas/Suggestions/Opinions Thread*** Quote

spinball promo actually looks pretty solid, completed it a few of times with rewards avareging around 5$, so either I was running really good with prizes, or it actually gives you more than 100% rb on spins you play, which is the way those promos should go

Any UK players got the "1m Special" Spins?

E-mailed support but obviously the guy didn't know what I was on about and pasted in the info for the Macau spins loooooooool.
