888 poker's Golden Pyramid Promo

[orsino12]

Here are some prizes I fell on the "Wheel of RA" Golden Pyramid

$ 500 Faraoh (10 gold tokens) = 71,8%
$ 500 Faraoh *2 (20 gold tokens) = 7,7%
$ 2000 Sphinx (250 gold tokens) = 10,26%
$ 4000 Tutan (500 gold tokens) = 5,1%
5$ Casino (450 gold tokens) = 2,56%
1$ Blast (100 gold tokens) = 2,56%
3$ sport (265 gold tokens) = 0%
$ 10000 Ramses (1000 gold tokens) = 0%

I haven't had much variety in my spins. Other than the $500 tickets the only things I've won are $2k Sphinx tickets (2x) and $5 Casino Free play (3x).
No $1 BLAST or $3 sports bet yet.

I've developed the bad habit of putting my chips in with the best hand and losing.

And that's a very hard habit to break.

You are losing with the best hand, then that is not the best hand on the table.

I will try the 2000 today...

The best possible hand AA vs J2 off in the 2K free roll. How can you run deep??

 

[colbear]

how

I only have 20. They should allow you to use them to register for lower buyin ones. I always run out of 500 and 2k tickets since they expire too quickly.

I always had tickets they give you 1 free every day and if you have mobile App you get 2 so I never ran out of the 500s and as I miss one $2000 for rehab everyday except weekends I never ran out of them either I did run out of $k sometimes but always had lots of 10K

the times I ran out was usually due to not playing for a few days so they expired but that was not often

on the spins I won everything at least once 95% was $500 of coarse

 

[orsino12]

I ran out of $500 tickets a few times, but never ran out of any of the others. Heck, I still have the original $2k ticket they gave us at the beginning of the promotion (the 3 original free tickets they gave us were good for the duration of the promotion rather than 48 hours like the tickets won and earned).

 

[orsino12]

I just noticed something odd. The remaining games for this promotion are scheduled up to Saturday evening, but there is no spin today and while the challenges for earning tickets are still listed I haven't gotten any tickets for the Casino challenges even though I have played more than enough to earn the $500, $2k and $4k tickets.
Has anyone got a spin or earned tickets from any of the challenges tonight?

They stopped because it takes 72 hours to get your tickets on the weekends so by the time you get tickets from any new spins the promo is over as are all the tourneys

That's true of the spins, but when you complete the challenges the tickets are credited instantly.

Ya I know but I think they just stopped them all at once

This promo was intense. I felt like I was always chasing tickets for the next tourneys. They were easy to get sometimes but still I had to play a lot of tourneys to keep them coming.

I broke down and got a few $500 tickets for today and in the first game I ran up into the top 100 finishing 71st, of course it wasn't one of the games that it mattered.
I see you are also running deep and still in it. Good Luck.

Edit: Brutal, just saw your set of J's get runner-runnered.

Yeah, I was hopeful when I saw the set of JJ; but I exited in 27th place on the following hand.

Yet $1.80 is not bad for that kind of freeroll.

Yeah, I saw the table really cooperated on that last hand, virtually every player clocked out to get you that extra $0.60

I spent 30 tokens to get 3 tickets for today ($0.30 value) and got $0.90 in game 1 so I'm already ahead, anything else is extra gravy.

You might have bought 1 too many because there seems to be only 2 x $500 today.

D'oh! I never looked ahead, I assumed they would run at the usual times until the end of the day, but you are right. Just 1 more of each game left.

RIP to my 10k ticket collection :reddy:

 

[orsino12]

I've been pondering ways they could reward people who end up earning way more tickets than they can use and the best I can come up with would be for them to have 1 final tournament at the end of a promotion where people with tickets left would get something like 500 starting chips for each ticket they have left. That would certainly make things interesting and give even more incentive to earn tickets during the promotion.
For the Pyramid promotion I think there are quite a few of us who have accumulated an extra 10-30 Ramses tickets that are going to waste.

Well it came to an end with a few leftovers.

Any news on the next promo?

All my "expired" tickets are gone now. It's weird seeing just 4 tickets (3 level up and 1 $1 Ticket) in there when I've had over 30 tickets in there for weeks.

No sign of any promo yet. If a new one doesn't start soon I may just start converting my tokens into $1 tournament tickets and play 4 or 5 a night. I've hardly been using any and have over 4000 saved up now.

Would be cool

Ability sale your tickets would be interesting, I guess. But ridiculous for organization at the same time unfortunately.
