Been grinding that Lucky Nugget race most evenings and honestly it's a decent bit of fun, leaderboard points from spins on their slots add a nice extra buzz on top of the base game 🔥💰 Not gonna lie, my biggest question is which games actually count towards the rollover, coz some nights the points feel dead slow. If the prize structure keeps paying like it did for me last time, worth it IMO 🤑🎰

agree with BachLoyal, if it's only the stingy old pokies counting towards the points the race loses its shine fast 😄 i'd want the terms in writing before tipping a deposit in.
I remember the old slots first-hand.

Same question here John. Which games actually count for the race points makes or breaks the grind. If it's only the low RTP pokies, not worth the deposit 🔸🎰
Bankroll discipline wins 💸

Same boat as you guys, only made my first Lucky Nugget deposit last week and the race sounded ace until I realised I've got no idea which pokies actually earn points 😅 total noob here. Danny's right that the terms should spell it out somewhere, if anyone finds the list of qualifying games please share, would save me burning my wagering on dead spins that give nothing 🙏

The funny thing is you're all asking which pokies count, when the real trap is usually that the points drop on spins regardless but the prize structure makes only the top few spots worth the grind 😄 I've chased plenty of races in my time and the terms in writing advice is spot on, half these leaderboard promos pay one decent prize and a pile of dust below it. Be keen to hear what John's found after a few evenings on it.

Honestly I'll defend this race til the cows come home 😄 grinding it most nights and even mid-table it adds a buzz to the spins, but RngGod77 has a point - check the terms for which pokies earn points before you chuck a deposit in 🔥🎰 If my favourites weren't counting I'd be gutted, so worth a look for you newbies 💰

@RngGod_24 same energy here 😄 even mid table the race makes my nightly spins way more fun, and yeah check which pokies count first, got burnt once when my favourite didn't earn points 🔥
The hit is close, I can feel it.

@HarryFortune1991 clearing it depends on the wagering attached to the bonus behind the race, not the race itself. If you take a deposit bonus to grind points, you're turning over the bonus amount however many times the terms say before any cashout. I'd start small, bet maybe NZ$0.50-1 a spin on a pokie that actually earns points, and treat the leaderboard as a bonus on top, never the reason you're spinning 💸 Tried a race like this a while back and got greedy chasing top 3, ate through my bankroll and finished mid table anyway. Didn't hit, lesson learned. Now I only grind if my normal session would cover the wagering in profit anyway, then whatever the race pays is pure upside 🔥

Cashing out in time is half the battle.
