So we’re a bit late in the month to be touting October sims – but it is what it is – and it is still October.

First thing: the Sim1000x calculation hasn’t changed. It’s still the account balance less the deposit times the percentage of winners (considering any max win condition). As I noted in my previous post, I’m not sure this is the best way to think about it, but it’s the best I have right now.

Next: the Sim1000x score has always been based on a max deposit to get the max bonus. While the current scoring system takes the deposit amount into account, using a common €100 deposit does impact some rankings. Less than one might think, but enough that we will start to provide separate Max and €100 rankings from November.

Lastly: Adding a new market, Italy, into the mix has been revealing: much higher max bonus amounts, much fewer max win terms. One wonders why these markets shake out quite like they do – but you’d think the maths on this would be somewhat universal. I only hope we aren’t going to more max win terms across the board; they look good in the spreadsheet, but I can’t imagine they feel good for the customer.

I know we’re yelling into the void at the moment – but if you have any feedback or comments, we’re interested.
