Well that is true, but even still, I'd still need over 2000 more points to grab anything from The Archive. I could cash in those points for $2 and change off an order, though. Free spins are always nice, as you said.

Getting something for free that's worth money is never going to be anything but nice!

I just spun and got 250 points. The "wheel" spins a bit unevenly - it looked like it was going to stop on the 10,000-point wedge!

I know, right?

The second time I spun was infuriating. The wheel slowly crawled over 4 spaces, until it stopped just on the edge of "No Reward".

The wheel was actually changing speed mid-spin on me! Slowing a little, speeding up, slowing, speeding - I suppose you could chalk it up to some bad data transfer speeds, resource-hogging by the Flash engine, whatever, but if it was a real wheel in a real casino, I'd be shouting "FIXED!! The wheel is RIGGED!!"

it totally is though. It will slow down and go over 2. next time I spin it will go that speed over like 6 past the good prizes.

I'm pretty sure the program is set to where as the prize is already determined once you hit the button, the spinning wheel is just for effect. It probably has a set number of rotations before it zero's in on the prize you've won, then has to adjust to hit the right mark.........or, I could be completely wrong

So, I decided to buy one of AP's personal stash bricks from TBC when they had them on sale, and the decks came in today. It was $40 plus shipping for the following:

2x Green Crown v1
1x Blue Crown v1
1x Red Crown v1
1x Expert at the Card Table
1x Mechanic
1x Red Bee Squeezers No.92
1x Erdnase 1902 Black Acorn
1x Fulton's Clip Joint
1x Black Altruism
1x Brimstone
1x Gold Arcane

I think I more than got my money's worth. Anyone else pick up any of the stash decks? I'm curious to see what others received.

Yeah the wheel is absolutely completely programed to stop 90 of 100 times at 50/100/250/no reward/spin again. In other words theory11 just want to give you a discount in form of points. By giving you points they force you to spent them purchashing something. So thats gently way telling you hey come here and shop now, give us your money even if u dont want to, and you will want becouse u got free points to spent.. thats free discount right? Can't just past away. Look we even will give you 50/100 points FOR FREE every day... Which i am thankfull becouse if i am lucky enough and spin every day and receive 50 points every day for next 19 days i would be able to have free deck (6-8$) but i need to pay int shipping :/

I'm still pretty bitter about the checkout system not working, but I'm happy you got some nice deck. I'd say the best part is that you got a variety. Only one duplicate is awesome.

Anyone that ordered from Ellusionist during the Cyber Monday sale will get a free Sultan Treasury deck with their next purchase (expires January 15). I'll take that as good enough for what was endured trying to grab that last gold arcane deck!

I couldn't find the email for quite sometime and started getting worried that I wasn't extended the offer as well but low and behold it was there. That just made my day =) Gold Arcane and Sultan. Quite a holiday treat =D

High Five! lol, i'm pretty excited about it.

It starts: "First, we wanted to let you know that this is not an email sent to our entire list. We’ve sent this email to you because you ordered from us, and your order was affected by the perfect storm of events that occurred during our Cyber Monday sales."

So, YMMV.....

I just spun again today. It looked like it had good momentum but stopped on "no reward" again right before the Brown Wynn.

I've gotten 50 Elite points out of 5 spins. This isn't going well.

aceofhearts · « **Reply #140 on:** December 12, 2013, 01:57:27 PM »

Just for the fun i suggest all who spin every day the wheel to announse it here 15min early or so and to start streaming/share their desktop so people can join and enjoy their luck or unluck. Popular streaming sites are livestream and twitch...
If someone can make bigger thread so everybody to do it..
I just did it today with 3 friends watching and was a lot of fun becouse it was lagging little bit and wheel stoped and then continue again and we all got laughs etc.

OK, so I did start a thread just for the Wheel...........hope that's ok Don

D&D sent out a holiday gift guide email. Two things caught my eye, and I don't mean the Card Holster or the Plank. Anybody know what decks these are?

The top one looks like a Fulton's Clip Joint deck in a new color. I have no idea about the other one.

It's not impossible that Dan and Dave are having a little fun with us by using deck mockups. It's also possible that we'll be seeing lilac Clip Joints.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #145 on:** December 14, 2013, 04:25:58 PM »

Got some email from Kardwell.com about a Bargain Basement sale.

Checked it out. Meh.

Of all the playing cards in the sale, only one product isn't a set of plastic decks from Modiano, Kem or Copag - a two-deck set of Coca-Cola Santa cards from USPC. On the plus side, they appear to have been made in 1995... And if you're into the plastic decks, the models on sale are either close to or just over half-off.

Ellusionist is giving 10% off for Black Club on gift cards.
So although you won't get further discount when using gift cards...you basically get a 10% off on future purchases already when using it cause you bought it cheaper. Make Sense? No?
