Why change from Oodleland to Casino?

[DixieMoonDiva]

Another way to take away oodles . . . now have tokens and can purchase more tokens like in a real casino. No choice as to whether playing for cash or oodles.

Frankly, I'm not liking this new "improved" GSN. Have the feeling that GSN is trying to turn us into gamblers instead of fun game players.

There is a petition in the Oodles section of this forum you can sign . Hopefully GSN will make some changes if there are enough signatures.

i just signed the petition. hopefully enough signatures will help change things. i can't believe anyone could be happy with this new idea that we would be happy with useless tokens instead of useful oodles to play our favorite slot games.

Totally agree. I don't mind change if it's for the better. Been a member 25-1/2 months, only seen change for the worse. Vowed I was done several times, but came back out of familiarity, now nothing is remotely familiar. Suggestion to GSN for post-me members...GSN for dummies page explaining what's new. A recent example might include: "in lieu of having the oodle value decline at a rate exponentially faster than the US dollar, we're introducing the token system, which at least on the surface appears to be the equivalent of a Paddy's Pub Dollar"

What are you supposed to do with tokens? You can't spend them and who wants to pay for a collection of useless items?

Hi, this is the difference between Oodles and Tokens:

Tokens function as game chips, to be used in the GSN Casino Games. They can be won and lost, but can’t be redeemed for merchandise or cash.

Oodles are still our redeemable rewards, which players earn by playing games and completing promotions. They can be exchanged for gifts in the Prize Center.

why would you change the oodles games to token to me thats wrong i could blay mad jack poker for only 5 oodles even if i bet a grand a hand now if i do that with this new format i will lose all my tokens in a few minutes to me that sucks

Without the ability to play for oodles in games like Double Trouble and Deal or No Deal, and the (25 or so) 10-point bonus questions, winning oodles is impossible. I'm sure I'm among many who aren't proficient at regular games nor do I have the time to sit and master "seemingly impossible" scores. The thrill of coming here was to play the above mentioned games and drop in for the trivia questions, winning oodles slowly but surely. I also liked the ability to try my hand at auctions and other prizes, although those too are impossible (betting 8k to win 10k and didn't even make top 3 bidder?), but still the fun of trying was there. Thumbs down to the change.

I agree with you dawk1723 i'm ready to give up GSN all together ,they took any chance to win oodles ,the casino games are alright but put back our oodles games the questions are gone double trouble is gone deal or no deal gone etc etc. I hate this new format . it would be ok if you could use tokens to to buy things but you can't use them for anything so why bother playing for them ?? The auctions are impossible to win anything now and by taking away our oodles chances to win I won't be able to use my oodles for nothing. And don't say play the games to win oodles most of us can't beat high score.I ALSO SAY THUMBS DOWN TO THE CHANGE !!!!!

I agree with dawk1723...& now when you play Outlaw Poker you spend thousands on one game instead of 5 oodles. This is just stupid..If things don't go back to the way they were, I'll be signing out for good.

[131240]

I want to play for oodles not token chips or casino games. what is wrong with you changing it.

Dear Administrator..Please hear what your customers are trying to say...All due respect

[jczerny]

I am very new to GSN. I just joined in August. I started playing for the thrill of the competition and to see how high I could get on the leaderboards. Now, the idea of playing for tokens for nothing just seems like a waste...where's the thrill of winning when there is no payoff of any kind? I have tons of free games loaded on my computer that I can play--why would I want to play here without at least seeing how I am doing against other players (even though I am not very good at some of the games I've tried). I will never have enough oodles to get anything, but that wasn't my point of playing on this site.
