Experienced, gambling online casino players are always in search of new thrills. The most exciting thing is the global competition among the best of the best gamers. It is for them that the gaming resource Play Fortuna is organizing a streamer race.
Stream race or streamer race is an online broadcast of a competition in which experienced players. They demonstrate the completion of a certain number of slots strictly specified for this race. A successfully closed slot earns the player points. The goal is to score as many points as possible before the competition ends. The winners of the race receive valuable gifts from the casino. Spectators also participate not only as observers, but also as sponsors. This type of entertaining video will be of interest to beginning Play Fortuna players to improve their level. They will be able to visually familiarize themselves with the slots of the gaming resource and get an example winning strategies from experienced participants. You can chat with the stream host in an online chat, evaluate his game, share your emotions, ask for or give advice, etc.
Features of online broadcasting of gambling
The video tournament of streamers has its own characteristics along with other games of the Play Fortuna online resource:
- Time period.
Each tournament held by the Play Fortuna online casino is allocated a certain amount of time – several months. The tournament is divided into stages, which are outlined by clearly established time boundaries. For example, the streamer race called “Hot slot” lasted from 09/18/2017 to 11/26/2017 and had 5 mini-races. But the competition, which is called “Quest slot,” lasted from December 22, 2017 to February 5, 2018 and consisted of 3 stages.
- Submitted tasks.
Each stage has its own rules and conditions, instructions for calculating points earned by streamers. For each, a specific task is sent, which includes:
- list of slot machines;
- a description of certain actions that need to be performed on the above slots;
- Successful fulfillment of the conditions is equivalent to a certain number of points.
For example, in the first round of “Quest slot” you had to successfully complete 6 bonus slots. In the slot machine “Creature from the Black Lagoon” – hit the monster 8 or more times. In the bonus game "Jack" and the Beanstalk" streamer had to collect 9 keys and also enable expanding golden harps. In the game "Elements" for successful completion the participant must try to activate the bonus storyline called “Air Storm” and get a multiplier of x60 or higher. In the Steam Tower slot machine, you need to climb to the 14th+ floor or further. In the fifth slot “Secrets of Christmas” – catch 4 scatters. “Hot as Hades” is the last and most difficult task. In the slot machine you need to complete all levels of the quest with a crystal helmet. You can complete the sent tasks in any order.
- Scoring.
For each successfully completed task, the streamer receives 200 points. If two or more tasks are completed, the winnings increase by this number of times. For 2 points he will receive 400×2=800 points, and for all 6 - 1200×6=7200 points. These points are awarded once, and you can try to complete the game once. Three streamers who reach the maximum multiplier for a certain stage of the race receive additional points: 1000, 800, 600 for first, second and third places, respectively. The winners of the race are those participants who scored the highest total points in all series of the race. If the streamers at the end of the competition received an equal number of points, the one with the highest multiplication coefficient throughout the race becomes higher.
- Slot qualities.
All slot machines of the online establishment take part in the Play Fortuna stream flight. The exception is those slots that have progressive jackpots. A race participant can only play in one slot at a time. As a tournament player, he is prohibited from activating bonus games outside the race and launching them during the stream.
- Rates.
The minimum bet per slot line should not be lower than $0.40 or the equivalent of any other currency allowed in the casino. However, the number provided in slot machines lines cannot be lowered.
- Winnings.
The race involves winnings with a minimum multiplier of x100 and above. Each streamer has the right to post an unlimited number of links with winnings with a coefficient of x100 during the tournament period. All points indicated in the links are summed up. All links are subject to immediate publication on the website streamrace.com, no later than twenty-four hours after entry.
The winning record includes information about the stage name, stage number, provider, slot name, bet amount, winning amount, as well as a link to the winning described above with a time stamp.
How participants will receive prizes from the race provider will be determined after the end of the stream race. All winnings are verified by a Play Fortuna representative.
How to take part in the Stream Race from Play Fortuna?
Necessary conditions for participation in the stream flight from Play Fortuna:
- Not everyone can participate in the streamer race. You must create an account on the competition provider website to take part in the Play Fortune competition.
- Before you start streaming, you need to conduct at least 3 online broadcasts on gambling.
When the above conditions are met, and if the online casino itself has not specified additional requirements for participation in the project, register in the stream race on the Play Fortuna website in the “Tournaments” section. Then fill out an application for participation and send it to the game resource’s email or to the 24-hour online chat operator. The casino administration will check the application to ensure that the data entered is correct. After successful completion of the verification, a letter will be sent to the specified e-mail containing the login password.
How is the streamers tournament different from regular games and tournaments in Play Fortuna?
As the Play Fortuna streamer competition progresses, players are eliminated and a dozen winners emerge. Their rating is regularly updated throughout the race in the streamers table. When the competition is over, the winners will receive valuable gifts from Play Fortuna. For example, the top ten leaders of the “Hot Slot” race won:
- Nissan QASHQAI car and 3 tons of gasoline;
- iPhone X;
- iPad Pro;
- iPhone 8 Plus;
- iPhone 8;
- PARROT BEBOP 2 PACKS (quadcopter);
- game console Xbox One X;
- PS4 Pro console;
- Dxracer OH/EA01/NC gameplay chair;
- microphone for racing streamers.
In the stream flight about Play Fortune called “Quest slot”, ten winners were awarded the following gifts:
- JAGUAR NEW E-PACE, plus 5 tons of gasoline;
- motorcycle Honda VT 750 C2B called Shadow Black Spirit;
- GT FORCE CARBON PRO SRAM (bike);
- PC Apple iMac 27"";
- LCD TV Samsung brand QE55Q8CAM series;
- iPhone X 256GB;
- smartphone iPhone 8 Plus 64GB;
- Xbox One X game console;
- GoPro brand camera HERO 6 Black series;
- PS4 Pro game console.
All other players who took part in the “race” receive small consolation prizes from the Play Fortuna casino.
Another difference between the streamer race and the usual gameplay is donations - voluntary donations from race viewers. The host of the online broadcast who liked the most and won the sympathy of the audience can count on additional monetary reward in addition to the casino prize. Information on how to submit cash prizes can be found under the player's video. Thus, participation in a stream flight is not only exciting and exciting entertainment, but also a profitable business.
What are you dissatisfied with, Adolf? Yes, Miker directly borrows ideas from sk2tv, but this is life - if someone doesn’t succeed, then another person will bring your idea to fruition. Accept the fact that you are a bad manager, and success ultimately comes to those who calmly and hardworkingly, without making big mistakes or high-profile failures, reach their cherished goal.
I would applaud Mikhail if he really managed to organize a competition for streamers, stimulating them to improve the quality of their content, breathe life into the sluggish Russian-language streaming and ultimately achieve that Golden Ball of Quality that we have been trying to get to for the last year and a half. But I'm afraid I have to state the fact that no improvements in the quality of content have occurred over the next two weeks and will not happen in the future.
And this is not only my opinion or the opinion of SK2TV visitors, perhaps biased people.
It is obvious from the feedback that viewers primarily need the following things:
- Unpredictability of the result. An opportunity for newbies to compete with older streamers with large audiences.
- Improving the quality of content. And for this it is necessary that a couple of good streams a week could give more points to the streamer than an uninteresting multi-hour marathon during the week.
- Centralized coverage of everything that is happening, so that you can follow the most interesting things in the competition if you visit the portal a couple of times a week.
- Fresh talented streamers participating in the competition.
Needless to say, this was all during the few Prime-Times we held? And despite the fact that their content, in my opinion, was far from the most high quality, despite the fact that they eventually stopped developing, which forced us to abandon the primes, these streams are still much better than that, what we see from the same streamers on Twitch or GoodGame. Denrus, Gitman, Sanchez and some other streamers gained fame thanks to Prime-Time, rising from hundreds of viewers to thousands.
But few people saw what was happening behind the scenes in the preparation of this event. Let me tell you a little about this.
New streamers or people who had never streamed at all were constantly sought out and attracted. For example, for several months we tried to persuade Merdex to start streaming, who had previously appeared with his talented video parody of StarCraft streamers. He decided to make his debut in one of the PTs and immediately started playing chat roulette, then taking up gaming streams.
But for this, Misha, it’s not enough to just throw in 325 thousand in the prize fund. You need to sincerely want to develop streaming, hold public selections, carefully sift through the bottom of streams in search of golden sand, see streamer talent in ordinary site visitors. The painstaking and thankless job of producing is what Prime-Time editors have been doing for a long time.
Newbies need help. We need to come up with intro videos for them, we need to pay for the services of a designer and video editor, we need to help make highlights, we need to praise and criticize them, we need to put them on the main page and give them an initial audience. Those two to three thousand people who came to our e-sports and other broadcasts on home page sk2tv, we invested in new streamers by sharing the audience. And even though some of them behaved extremely ungratefully in the future, we are glad that for some time we developed the direction of Russian-language streaming, giving it a good push forward.
It is necessary to draw up a schedule of broadcasts, it is necessary to sum up the results of the competition every week, it is necessary that every visitor to the portal is aware of the changes and does not know who the winner will be until the very end. last moment. Every season we need to come up with something new - Prime-Time Light with an emphasis on real streams, Prime-Time 4.0 with an emphasis on competition between two teams, etc.
Constant dissatisfaction with what we were doing led to the creation of the project competition automation. And for the last two years, we have been creating a competition for streamers, where production activities are kept to a minimum, but there is a miracle oven that prepares high-quality content, and a magic button “I want to laugh for five minutes.”
It was a mistake. And we paid for it (and not only for it, of course) quite dearly - loss of reputation, waste of investor funds, and a strong outflow of visitors. And all this was happening before your eyes, Misha, but instead of drawing the correct conclusion and understanding that the problem is that the process of selecting and creating quality content cannot be automated, it cannot be replaced by indicators of donations, views or subscribers expert assessment , you decided that the problem was Adolf.
You decided that if you don’t behave defiantly, don’t engage in political behavior, don’t drink on streams, and spread straws in advance wherever possible, then you can implement everything with an A+. This was decided not only by you, but also by RusBrain, which provided the prize fund. The problem is that you copied not the best thing we did to develop streaming, but our worst and most failed idea.
A year ago, we held a competition for master streamers taking into account donations, number of donors, chat activity, etc. There are no more good streams. And it cannot become. Streamers simply start streaming more, asking for more donations, and putting records in rotation. To motivate them to change their approach to preparation, you need to limit the number of streams conducted that count towards the competition. Streamers need to streamed to one channel with the same number of subscribers. We need centralized coverage of this event and the attraction of newcomers. We need to help them create headings.
It’s a pity that your personal attitude, Misha, obscured the essence for you. As a result, GG is now repeating the mistakes of sk2tv, only lagging behind by a year and a half, both in design and in organizing events. As a result, sitting on the current goodgame is more unpleasant than on the very first version of the site and even worse than on the second (my eyes will soon bleed from this diversity and white font on blue). As a result, instead of developing streaming, funds will simply be distributed to old Goodgame streamers, and records will hang in the top in the morning (picture from boberbIch).
I’m not against broadcasting reruns if they were prepared, interesting streams that don’t happen every day and that you rarely see anywhere. For example, if Abwehr showed a section of the same Prime Time called Last Man Standing, where he studied Thai boxing for a month. After all, no matter how much you love gaming streams, sometimes you want variety, and it would be fun to watch your favorite streamer fight in a real ring against Alaito, for example.
By the way, criticism of GG streamers that they have slipped is unfounded. What is their fault? They were given rules, they act strictly within their framework. Claims can be made to those who drew up these rules.
By the way, after the start of the competition, the channel of UberMarginal, a person who made at least some non-game content and took ninth place in this competition, was deleted. Of course, the owner is a gentleman, but this shows that there is no guarantee for either the streamer or the donor in the event of a bid to win. It is always possible to delete the channel of any streamer, and unpleasant criticism of the administration from streamers can be grounds for a ban. One swear word on stream or an unflattering statement addressed to anyone is enough, because according to the rules, you can be excluded from the competition for:
You can even be banned for any song on the air that you do not have the rights to:
Of course, no one will ban loyal streamers. This is a handy tool in case someone starts criticizing the competition, Miker, or making content that the administration doesn’t like.
The outcome of the event is already so obvious to the main sponsor of the event that he is offering additional money in order to create at least some intrigue.
Maddison's outburst will no doubt liven things up, but in a positive way? Mad does not hide the fact that his goal is to discredit the idea of competing streamers and receiving a prize fund for streaming videos and pictures. It will attract new visitors, but they will leave for Mad in the same way as they came, but the blow to those who are now laying claim to the top will be quite unpleasant and demotivating. How will Abwehr, Pomi, Zerg, Fomby, Juice and the rest who move down a position feel now?
Most likely, this picture from TomorrowHero will reflect the situation until the very end of the competition, just adding Maddison to it:
Will the opinion of GoodGame visitors change the situation? May be. Miker has already begun planning the next season, betting on a battle of streamers similar to an e-sports tournament. We discarded this idea this spring for a very simple reason - it looks cool and interesting, but when implementing it we again run into necessity content ratings. Rearrange the terms as you want, compete with streamers all together, as now, or separately - it won’t change simple fact: needed people with taste who will work to improve the content, evaluate it, and promote it. Editors, producers - call it what you want.
Without this, take any parameters, change them as you want - you can make the competition more interesting, but there will be no fundamental change in the quality of the content.
Misha, are you in lately I am deeply displeased because of your extremely increased emotional distress (this is just my opinion, I do not impose it on anyone). I myself went through this period in the last couple of years and more or less returned to normal, only after being seriously injured stone wall reality. Perhaps this will be useful for you too.
But I will still give you advice. Focus on producing streamers. Create sections, make designs, video screensavers, think through the script, in general, create game television, focusing on ready-made TV standards, but without being constrained by their framework, take into account interaction with chat. Announce a competition for novice streamers, pull out the no-names and give them a chance. Check out the old streamers, like Abwehr and others - they have great potential, they just have nowhere to show it.
The main thing is not to let the process of preparing streams take its course, do not rely on automation of the process. Without live human attention and participation, quality content cannot be created or found.
