Slotbot highscore at CashCrate

You already know that I love to play skill games online for change or free money. I also signed up with CashCrate some time again not to earn some cents for doing their surveys but to receive some money whenever I join and test a new browser game (which they also promote on CashCrate and give you money or points for).
I recently noticed that they also offer tourneys which can be played for those points (which is just a virtual currency that can be used to get vouchers and stuff). The games aren't as nice as on other skill game sites but that's alright. I figured I might have an edge playing those match-3 type of games as they are my bread and butter on other sites and I really love them. I played a couple of weekly tournaments (very few participants) and always gained some additional points. My highscore so far has been around 18.000 points and then the following game happend. Enjoy!

Already in the first level I hit a combo beating my previous highscore. So lot's of luck involved but I think I'll add this weekly tourney to my play list.

Edit: the video has currently been pulled by youtube...also I don't know why. Already complained about it as I don't see anything bad with it.

Analyzing bonus for MarketGlory

As mentioned in started playing MarketGlory recently.

Fight bonus

Let's start with the fight bonus which is paid for each of the ten daily referral fights you can do. It is based on the energy level you have. The amount you get paid for each fight you win is calculated as:

Bonus = Energy / 100 * Fight_Bonus

Because the energy can't sink below 1.0 the minimum you'll receive is 1/100 of the fight bonus of your country. Now let's check what price is still acceptable to pay for energy.
With each fight the energy level is decreased by 10% and because 10 fights will last at least 100 minutes there'll be one time when the energy because of the full hour.

So, the purchase of energy is a good investment if the sum of all fight boni (as a result of the bought energy) is bigger than the price for the energy.

The formula looks something like this:

Bonus (paid_energy) = (1 + 0.9 + 0.8 + 0.7 + 0.6 + 0.4 + 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.1) * added_energy/100 * Fight_Bonus

The multipliers are just approximations but are close enough for the accuracy needed. Remember that after 5 fights you lose some additional energy because of the hour change.

This adds up to : bonus = 5 * added_energy/100 * Fight_Bonus

Now just check if the bonus is bigger than the price for the energy...Let's do a little example:

Germany currently pays a fighting bonus of 10 DEM and a newspaper costs 0.14 DEM. Each newspaper adds 0.3 of energy. The bonus paid for buying energy would be:

5 * 0.3 / 100 * 10 = 1.5 / 10 =  0.15
So in this example it is more or less break even to buy a newspaper at 0.14 DEM.

Buying low quality milk costs 0.45 DEM and gains the player 1.0 energy:

5 * 1 / 100 * 10  = 5 / 10 = 0.5
This leads to a win of 0.05 DEM per paid liter of milk to receive the fighting bonus


Have fun and remember to check if it really makes sense to invest money for energy for your daily fights. If you have not signed up to market glory you can join here.

MarketGlory

I started playing MarketGlory which is a free browser game with a very complex economic system. All money can be converted back and forth between ingame money and real money. I have to analyze this in more detail and see what is best to generate some income there but right now at least the start is really slow unless you want to invest some real money (which I don't want to do until I have a deeper understanding of this game).

I'll keep you updated on this. Right now it's just get online once every day and "got to work" to generate the bonus payments.

Free money from skill game sites

I already mentioned in a previous post that I like to play games for fun and money. Now it's time to compare two of the leading websites in terms of free money. Yes, they offer freerolls if you are a real money player there. I have accounts on three major sites:

* king.com
* gameduell.de
* worldwinner.com

I don't play on worldwinner anymore because I didn't like the fact that you can only play there when using Internet Explorer. Because it didn't offer any special games and take about the same fee as the other sites I stopped playing there. So I'll only compare the free money offers of king.com and gameduell.de.

king.com

Each day there are a couple of freerolls of the same game. All this tournemants start at a fixed time and are open for 2 hours. So you have to logon at the right time to take part in them. Usually the price pool is 50€ or 100€. On weekends there are three additional freerolls lasting from Friday to Sunday. Those also have bigger prices. The problem with all those offers is that you always have to compete against thousands of other players. You have to be really good at the specific game to win even cents (not even mentioning making the top ten and getting a few euros/dollars). Over the last two month I made exactly 3 cents from those free games while playing about 15 of them. *thumbs down*

gameduell.de

At this site it's a lot easier to win free money. Each day you can play against the 'Joker' to win 50 cents. Every day you have to play a different game but this opponent isn't so hard. I never practiced before my free game and won about 45% of them. The game is available all day so you can logon any time you want to. Of course there are no big wins possible but if you login anyway it's free money. And it's easy to get.
Over the last two month I made 16.50 € from those free games while playing about 45 of them. *thumbs up*

conclusion

No matter where you play free money is always nice...even if it's just cents. I wouldn't really bother to check into king.com everyday to check if they offer a game i'm good at. And I miss them way too often. Logging into gameduell once a day and playing a different game fits into my schedule :-)

Do you also play on any of this skill game sites or do you know another ?
