I did a host game last night... Survivor where you have to beat 5 people with a spin to get the yeti pin.... That is what the note on the wall said.... anyway I won one spin then lost so I left and came back in, since I didnt win 5 spins for the pin, I thought I didnt win....

Well I won anohter spin and then the host informs me I already won... Opps... didnt know... the note didnt say anything about winning credits if you win even one spink just the pin if you win five, and the host never mentioned while I was in the room that all others win credits.... I would not have come back in.... Felt like a dork... wanted to hurry out of the room.... So sorry if I held up the line... I just didnt know!

Is that how it is for all host games???
 
Yes, it is. But you're not the only one. I entered Snow Spin last month (though it was called something else), spun the 3 generators and "lost", but "won" credits. So I left the room and got back in line. When I entered again, the Host said to me while I was standing in the queue, "you've already won so you can't spin again". I said, "I didn't win, I lost!" She was adamant that I couldn't play the game again. So I guess "winning" 100 credits is considered a win in the staff games. :)
 
i am sure some people win great things from the staff games...but for me...I choose not to wait in that LONG line...because I have horrible luck and have horrible luck with crashing when I am NEXT in line. Sometimes I think...hmmm I would love to win something rare...but then I think of how mad I get...when I crash...lol and how much my friends probably get tired of me....rambling about the crash..soooo I stay away LOL. OH..and embarresing I remember someone had that game like race to the chair or whatever......and we all sat down..and she was like ready set...and i had my mouse like at the spot and almost clicked...and someone said something in the room...so i clicked...and then lol there is lil miss bashful...running across the room before anything is said...lol so then i slowly walk back to the seat and expect her to say ready set again...and nope she says GO and i am still sitting there...it was quite fun...lol
 
Sometimes credits were the main prize. I can't believe I didn't throw the
chair race when 100 credits were a prize and zebra pins were the consolation
prizes.

I guess the rule is that if the host gives you any prize, credits or otherwise,
it's considered a "win" and you've forfeited trying to win a better prize in that
game for the day.

I got "zonk" from Ice Bowling yesterday, so I could have gone back into the
queue, but I didn't feel like doing so.
