What to "NO MORE ODDLES" for Deal or No Deal and Double Trouble

[jus4hugs]

I noticed that these games have been moved to the new 'casino' category by using/purchasing tokens to play them...

We are force to purchase 'tokens' to play these games by using our debit/credit cards. GSN should considering the oodles that we earn to purchase tokens when playing 'casino' games.

I love playing these type of games but don't have funds set aside to play them with this new format....GSN is getting like 'facebook' when it comes to playing their games.

So I guess there is no other means to play these 'casino' games if you don't have any tokens in your account...

Gsn decision to change will cost them a lot of members

You do not have to buy Tokens. You can win between 500 and 20,000 tokens every day from the spinner and everyone gets 12,500 tokens when they start. Once you run out, just wait until the next day's spin! Once you've logged in 3 days in a row, you'll always get 3 spins of the wheel, unless you miss a day, then it goes back to 1 and builds up again.

Our goal has always been to offer something for everyone. Players itching for the thrill of cash competition can pay entry fees and compete for real-money prizes. GSNers looking for a quick break can play our free, ad-supported games. And now, Tokens games are a new option for anyone who wants to try the GSN Casino.

guess they don't want us to play these games anymore .

why would you move double trouble and deal or no deal to the casino??? why not leave them where they are and develop new games for the casino. you lose more existing players (like myself) when you do this than attract players to the casino...i/m here to earn oodles, not waste my time...

WHAT spinner, where? I don't see one anywhere and it hasn't popped up on my screen since the very first day.

"Plus, we’re giving you free Tokens every single day but play is totally optional." (from the other "tokens" thread)

So, if we're supposedly given free tokens everyday, then why don't I have any tokens left to play with? I only got the first 13,500 tokens (the first day they became available) and then I won up to 51,000+ tokens afterwards, playing the various games - but now I don't have any left and haven't been given any tokens since then. I preferred the "play for oodles" method and the fact that the games only lasted 2 1/2 minutes, which made me play faster and better in order to get on the leaderboard to be able to win more oodles. I'm on a very fixed income and can't afford to buy tokens, nor would I pay real money for cyber currency that cannot be traded for anything other than more play time. Why is there not some alternative method, a way for us to be able to win tokens so we can keep playing? Until there is, I will only be playing the free games and not as often as I was before. Once more, it's been clarified that "new and improved" seldom is either.

I'm not sure I understand this completely... I log in every day, so that's not an issue. But the way you describe this is that you get three separate SPINS of the Bonus Token Wheel... HOW do you get those spins? I've just been getting one a day. Do you mean the windows that pop up on the Wheel itself? Like one window for the first login day, two for the second, etc... That's how it appeared the first two days I logged in when this all started (and I actually SAW the wheel). Since then, the wheel has now popped up the last two times I've logged in but all three windows spun and showed amounts...

I hope I'm making myself clear... it's all new language to me and I'm trying to understand. My main question is: From your description, it sounds as if there are more SPINS of the Token Wheel available (like 'pulls' on a slot machine) and if so, how do you go about getting them? And if it is just the number of windows per 'pull' does it stay permanently at three windows if you consistently log in every day? That's what it seems like. But mostly I just wanted to know if there are extra "pulls" available.

I only got tokens the first day they were available (13,500) and no spins have been available since then. The spinner doesn't show up anywhere. As I said on the other "tokens" thread, why not list it on the "all games" tab so members can find it? I don't have any tokens to play any of the games and can find no way to get anymore. I do log in every day, but I am not being credited or given tokens or spins for it.

I see what you guys are saying.

squishmar, it always stays at 3 reels in the spinner, there's not extra pulls. 1st day you log in, one reel spins, next day 2nd reel and first reel spin, 3rd day going forward, all three spin. If you miss logging in on a day, then it goes back to one reel spinning and builds up again.

I don't know why the spinning reels not showing for you feathersofhope, but the system automatically credits you the Tokens you won by logging in, even if you don;t see the reel spinning. You can check your Token balance. It shows for you today: 9/6/2011 12:34 am Token Spinner Bonus 1,500

[feathersofhope]

Thank you for your replies to both threads regarding tokens, GSNAngel. I did check my balances for each day this past week and saw what you'd referred to. It's confusing, though, not being aware of the "bonus" when it occurs - especially as I'd assumed my total was a result of the tokens I'd won by playing the various games. I'll keep logging in daily and hope I'll see a new token balance tomorrow, as I love the "Undersea Treasure" game especially - all of those cool critters and various ways to win. I also like "Outlaw Video Poker" and the "Blackjack" game. I haven't been able to play the Tiki slots, though - the stones just keep bouncing on my page and the game never loads. I wish there was a way to win more tokens, like the Bonus Questions let us win more oodles. I do appreciate the replies I've received and the prompt attention to my concerns. I'll post this same reply to the other thread, as well. Good luck to all players.

This is the first it has been explained that after logging in three days, you get three rolls. Am I understanding this right. If you play every day, on the fourth day you get three spins on the wheel? If so, I've lost opportunities to spin since this all started.

Lets face it they have ruined the site for us and don't care. All GSN angel says is how lucky we are to be allowed to play Sure you get some tokens everyday but just once not everytime you log on I used to enjoy having some fun seeing where I could get on the leaderboard but now it costs too much to play. I'm looking for another site and unless they change back I won't be coming back also I stopped watching GSN on tv. Why GSN Angle isn't passing this along to her superiors and letting us know that they respect our opinion I don't know. It just isn't worth the hassle to play here sorry.

Still haven't heard an answer on this but I think it's the "reels" not three separate "pulls". Because I'm now seeing my wheel when I log in and all three reels are always pulled (since I log in every day). That must be it because I remember the first day of this casino stuff, only one reel was in play and the next day, two. There was a period where I didn't see the wheel at all but now it's there after I log in and it's always been all three reels in play.

I'm not positive about this but I don't see anywhere to go redeem more spins for the day so I'm fairly certain my explanation is correct. I'd like to know for sure though.

I'm sure Angel *is* passing this along... but as for the second half of that sentence, well the reason is that I don't believe her superiors (or rather, "The Powers That Be" at GSN) *do* respect our opinion at all. It seems obvious.
