charelan Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 OK, so I decided to play better than you for the first time as this week's challenge is a slots game (luck not skill). Well, I beat the score! But the thing is... nothing happened. It's not the regular kind of game where you send 3 scores.. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it?? Or could I possibly not have clicked "challenge Brucey B" and it didn't count (I'm pretty sure I did click it though)? Or do I have to wait until the end of the day? I don't want to have to keep playing if unnecessary, but I'm disappointed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delshnya Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I cannot confirm it, but I think there is some kind of problem, 0 people have completed the challenge... that does not seem normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoobert_Doo Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 There are a few topics on the "Games" and "Help" Neoboards, concerning this. You aren't the only one it has happened to. Most believe that since it is a "slots" game, and you don't send scores in the same way as regular games, that that could be the problem. Kind of silly for TNT/JS to pick a "slots" game for Better Than You. It makes no sense. Not sure what they will do, at this point. Maybe we will see something in tomorrow's Neopian Times Editorial, concerning this. EDIT: You don't have to click the "Challenge" button to be able to send a score and get a trophy/prize for Better Than You. As long as you play the game, beat the "challenger's" score, and are one of the first 500 to do so, you should get a prize. EDIT EDIT: It looks like 1 person has beaten Brucy B. I wonder if they beat his score with one of their first 3 plays? If so, that's crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xd0rkus58 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 There is definitely some kind of glitch! I scored 76,000 yesterday for the first time ever and I didn't get a single thing.. I'm so disappointed because I need that gold trophy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydeed Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Same here. Played, got 78k yesterday, no prize. Some are saying you need to win with your first three spins since they count as your three score sends. But basically, yeah, stupid choice of BTY game. You can't influence the outcome in any way, pure luck, no skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetlegs Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Honestly I like that it's luck. Gives people a chance who might not have skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charelan Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Huh. First 3 spins. I don't mind that it's luck based, but dislike that 'playing' lasts like 2 seconds. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you mean. If you end up doing the max spins a day, it takes a bit of time. It's been two days for me an my high is only 9000.

Sorry, sometimes I'm not good at expressing what I mean.. what I was trying to say is if only your first 3 spins count your tries are over pretty quickly.

Ohhh. Yeah, that makes sense. Honestly, with only 3 people having beat the challenge at this point, it wouldn't surprise me if they only counted the first 3 spins.

perduco Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I don't even know how your own high score works like day 1 (or was it 2?) of BTY I got 7,500 as my new high score which I get but day 3 my new high score is 18,750 when there wasn't a single payout that gave me 18,750 I thought my newest high score was 7,800 because a single spin gave me that but it's showing 18,750 if it's cumulative for the day (250 spins) that might make sense for my HS of 18,750 because I kept winning quite a few times that day, I only lost 10k NP overall (I had 202k on hand, gone down to 180k then back up to like almost 220k but I finished with 192k) but yesterday I was kind of counting up the big payout wins and it should have gone over 22k (lost about 20k overall after 250 spins) but my HS still shows as 18,750 wait...I think I see it now when I explained my day 3! I started with 202k and I got up to almost 220k which is 18k profit, if I stopped playing, so that is how the high score works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoterza Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I also beat the score and didn't get a trophy or the prize :( On other discussion boards the consensus seems to be that you had to actually hit the jackpot while it was higher than the BTY score, rather than just getting a high enough payout. @perduco mentioned 250 spins. I've heard there's a max number of spins, is it 250? or is that just how many you played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetlegs Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I can't say either way since my max score for the past couple of days has only been 9,000, but that would make sense seeing as how few people have won the challenge so far. I think 250 is the max daily spins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perduco Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 yes, a notice pops up telling you you can't spin more than 250 times. it's the same for Black Pawkeet Slots losing NP from both Brucey B Slots and Black Pawkeet Slots gives you a combined score for a separate trophy Slots Big Losers which makes you think why people want to try for that? but I guess it's like the tax trophies, trophies are trophies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...also...well, I mean EVERYONE loses bucketloads if you play slot games often, so getting a trophy for that's pretty awesome really. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
