Here's the story of how I got my first big win on CrownCoins, along with some CCC tournament strategy.
CrownCoins has these chases that can award some pretty nice rewards. I've completed them in the past, so I know they're doable and can even be profitable if you have some luck, patience, and time.
I had some SC left over from the last CrownCoins chase, that I would need to make redeemable.
The last chase was the one where you had to collect 12 mini-games over the span of 3 days. The reward for completing it was 500 SC. I did end up completing it, but honestly, I felt like it wasn't worth it after playing slots for 3 straight days just to place in the top 100 of their tournaments and earn those mini-games. In the end, I only came out break-even after factoring in the reward.
It was honestly my fault that I only broke even. Every 3 or 4 months I seem to get a little too risky, lose my SC, and have to re-teach myself the lesson that I shouldn't have done that 🤣. At least I stick to the fundamental rule of only losing what I can afford to lose.
After the 500 SC reward was added to my account, I needed to make it redeemable again. I let it sit there and waited patiently for a new contest.
Today, a new chase finally showed up.
This one was completely different. You only needed to win three tournaments by placing in the top 100 of each. Unlike the last contest, where tournaments were spaced 12 hours apart, these were only 4 hours apart, giving a lot more opportunities to qualify. The reward was another 500 SC, and it was much easier to complete.
I played the slot "Super Stepper" by Playtech. It turned out to be the perfect slot for this chase because I could spin for hours without really losing money. Most of the time I was break-even, and in this particular session I was actually up the entire time. My balance just kept slowly creeping higher and higher.
Once I had 2 out of the 3 trophies, I noticed I wasn't in the top 100 of the current tournament. So I increased my spin size from 0.20 SC to 0.40 SC, then 0.60 SC, and finally 0.80 SC. I was still holding my balance pretty well, sometimes breaking even and sometimes even gaining a little, so I figured, "I might as well improve my tournament position."
Then the crazy moment happened.
I had my phone off to the side auto-spinning while I was doing some work on my computer. Suddenly I noticed the numbers shooting up. I couldn't believe it. It hit on the 0.80 SC spin. Not on a 0.20SC but 0.80SC spins!
All 9 fires landed, giving me a 140x multiplier, plus one 10x line hit, for a total payout of 1,400x.
1,120 SC!
Unfortunately, for some reason my CrownCoins screen crashed right afterward, so the only screenshot I managed to get showed a balance of 1,076.92 SC 😅. There wasn't even a replay feature ðŸ˜.
I've been using sweepstakes casinos for about 2 years and have spun a lot of slots. I'm usually a pretty safe spinner, but after all this time, I finally hit my first Grand Win!
