Is Valentino Casino's tournament leaderboard actually worth grinding?
Tournaments like this are usually grind heaven for slots players and misery for table guys, that part I can tell you from experience 😅 I'm on my favourite slot every evening anyway so a leaderboard's basically free extra value on top of what I'd spin regardless 🔥 But yeah the rollover on any bonus tied to it is the real question. Never finished in the money on Valentino myself, so curious if anyone up here in Canada actually has. If the top spots are just whales bonus-buying all night, ah well, count me out lol 🎰💰

✓Grind heaven only works if the points-per-wager math isn't tilted towards high rollers though, bet 2 a spin and you're feeding crumbs while some whale drops big bets and laps the field 😭 I've had tourneys where I'd have cleared the bonus in profit off the spins anyway, leaderboard cash was just gravy. The real question for me is whether bonus play even counts towards the board, because if it's real-money wagers only that changes the whole bankroll plan.500x one day, zero the next. Classic.

hah, wildwin nailed it, I've been through this cycle before, ground one of these for a full week spinning my usual C$1 a pop, finished somewhere in the teens while the top lad was clearly dropping big bets every spin. the wagering contribution on tables is the real killer for most of us though, my blackjack barely counts a dime toward the points. i'd say only bother if you'd spin those slots anyway with zero thought of the board — anything else is just bait to keep ya depositing 😄Been grinding longer than some have played.

Quick dumb question 🙈 when they say points-per-wager, do the points count from bonus money spins too, or only real cash deposits? Still figuring out how these tourneys even track that 😅

Points-per-wager is dead simple once you see it in action, kid. The tourney tracks every spin you make, usually the points come off real cash bets, sometimes bonus money counts too or counts lower, that's the fine print you gotta squint at before you start. Say the rules are 1 point per C$1 wagered: you spin a loonie 100 times, you've got 100 points. Some fella up top spinning five bucks a pull banks 500 points off the same hundred spins. That's exactly what LuckyStreakLuck ran into. Same grind, same week, whale laps the field because the points don't care how many spins you made, just how much you shoved through. So check two things before you bother: does bonus play count toward the board, and how much of your table action counts (often blackjack chips contribute next to nothing, which is why table guys end up miserable). Me, I turned 50 into 5k once back when the old slots hit different, so I'll never say never 😄 but leaderboards?Busted more than you've deposited 😉

Same vibe here, ground one for a few days at low bets and the top was clearly whale territory 😬 Maybe I'm being dumb but I'd check if bonus spins even count before depositing just for it.New here, soaking it up.

Grinded one of these last month at C$1 spins and the math was ugly: a week of play got me nowhere near the cash spots while the leaderboard top was clearly betting way bigger per spin. Wagering contribution is the real killer too — if your bonus rollover only counts slots at full rate and the tourney weights by wager, you're chasing two rabbits at once. I'd read the points fine print before dropping another deposit on it 😭

FortuneLive that matches my one tourney attempt, ground small spins all week and barely moved 🫠 Only plus was the free spins I cleared alongside it. Does anyone know if bonus money wagers count less here? 🙏New here, soaking it up.

I grind these every evening and honestly, small bets never crack the top spots... whale city up there 🐋 Worth it only if the free spins would land anyway imoSpinning reels dawn to dusk.

@Steve_Gold yeah pretty much this, I treat the leaderboard as a bonus while I'm spinning anyway, never chased it solo 🐋 honestly one Friday night I hit big on my favourite mid-tourney and still finished like mid-table lo…@PaulCalgary that's basically my read too. Hit big once during a mid-tier leaderboard, finished nowhere near the top, so scoring clearly isn't tied to a single win. Only ever worth it if the free spins land while you're spinning anyway. Anyone actually got a cashout screenshot from a Valentino tourney prize though? No payout, no proof, I've seen promos like this go sideways before.Hype isn't a payout.

Only ever worth it if the free spins land while you're …@RtpLie_Survivor exactly, the scoring is rigged for volume anyway, you drop a fat win and some whale turning over 200 spins a minute still passes you 😂 the "prize" is free spins you'd get from an email promo half the time. House always wins and the leaderboard is just the garnish 🤡Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.

Whale city is right 🐋 I just treat the free spins as the whole prize, my bank left in style chasing leaderboards once lol 🤣Came to hit, stayed to tilt 🍿
