11/14 Poker Tournament Notes

There is no way for a player to re-join a table it they are booted. Players who are not playing but signed up are moved to the final table. At one point we had 3 players who signed up but never played a hand. Maybe if you are inactive for 5 minutes you should be removed from the tournament. One of our members was booted at the start of the Blackjack table yesterday and again today for the poker tournament. They are using Chrome like me so not sure what's going on there. If there was a re-join table option they would be able to get back in. Also as with the blackjack it would be nice to follow the tournament once you are eliminated. (Leaderboard or option to watch table)

There should be a 1:00 countdown to let you know the tournament is about to start. Right now it just loads... and then boom the countdown starts. There is a major lag in the tournament standing. If you win big on a spin it may take 20 seconds before you advance in placement. At the end of the tournament when the clock reaches :05 it will jump back to :10 but will still give you :05 only to play. Overall I had fun but would be nice to have a top 10 score total to the right or left to see how far back you are.

One more thing. There is no option to join a second tournament until you leave the one you are currently in. Example playing poker and wanted to sign up for the slot tournament. If I left the table I would have no way to get back.

11/15 Poker Tournament

Registered for tournament 45 minutes before the start. At 3PM the tournament started to load and then kicked me off telling me to log-in. Logged in and tournament says playing but I can not take my seat.

I try to play on my ipad but when I start the blackjack game it just says initializing. Any suggestions?
11/18 Blackjack Notes

Anthony Curtis showed absent for a few hands and then was booted from the tournament. Others showed as Absent from the start and you had to hover over absent icon to view who the player was. Not sure why absent players from the start of the tournament were booted after Anthony Curtis was booted. Is there a 5 hand limit on being absent and then you are booted? After round 1 of 2 we were never moved to the final table. The tournament malfunctioned and froze. Boo!

The most confusing thing is when a player is absent all of their information is hidden including chip amounts until you hover over icon. This could be a big issue when deciding on a bet.

On 11/18/2013 Three of us from first table were never transfered to the final table. It just froze.
If absent for 5 hands in blackjack, you are eliminated, but there's something still screwy with the way that's working.
11/21 Slot Tournament

Won 5 free spins during the tournament twice. This is almost a punishment if you receive these. Takes almost 90 seconds to complete the free spins. The next time I hit the free spins it was 5 seconds before the end of the tournament. I was not awarded any free spins and the tournament ended.

Brad
The free spins are terrible. They're supposed to be for tournaments that have a set number of spins, not time tournaments. Since anyone can get the free-spin penalty, it's still fair, but they're aggravating. We'll program them out of timed tournaments.
