Yggdrasil Gaming, the winner of Slot Provider of the Year at the 2016 EGR B2B Awards, recently introduced a unique function called ‘BRAG' that allows players to replay winning spins and share them with friends and family on social media.
The launch of BRAG comes with a €25,000 network campaign tournament for the slot Golden Fish Tank. The campaign runs between 12 August and 21 August[...] Read more » Replay & Share Video Slot Wins

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of bragging. Yeah, right. This promotion is very unique and I think it will certainly be popular among players from various generations, who frequently use social media.

Before bragging you have to win and i suppose that everybody knows that enough winning on slots to brag about are not a ususal thing.
I agree that this promotion could make slot players to play this one instead on another one but i doubt very much that it will increase the number of new players.

How many of the casino players playing online have actually something good to show up. If it was "whining" instead of bragging then it would have been the most popular thing out there. And again with the share thing. Share this, share that ... ???

I actually think this is a horrible idea, absolutely terrible.
The nearest thing I can think of as similar is hand replayers, such as the stars one. But the difference is, this is often used to share hands to be discussed, or completely weird hands like bad beats.
This new one for slots won't be for bad beats because in slots their isn't one. Either you win, or you lose. If you lose, you wont be sharing. Therefore all you will share is the times you win. This will encourage others when they see winning replaying all the time and could make gambling addictions worse by making it look like it is easier to win that it is.
And it is also free advertising from the sites. 'Come and look at what players have won on our slots'.
I find this idea horrendous and will take no part in it.

yeah just as ice pointed this out- fantastic idea to turn our up and coming generation into total slot degenerates... slotgenerates? this idea is sure to reshape the world as we knew it, there will be slotgenerates visible at every corner of the world and north korea and they will do anything to refill their empty bankrolls... fcuk even worse than a zombie apocalypse...

Agree with you, but tbh I feel the same every time somebody I know sharing pictures about their winning lottery tickets/scratchcards/betting slips on insta or facebook. I am not envy of them but gambling is definitely not a hobby which should be advertised this widely. Also bragging is not cool.

They are basing everything nowadays icequeen around the social media. Whatever the business or project is, one of the first priorities is to include all the social media in. It is free and all the ones that have accounts there, will share no matter what. They are addicted to it.
It is intended to be played by people having reached legal age for it, so at this age you expect someone to be able and think logically, realizing what is going one with the subject. If not they will fallfor it, maybe just a bit sooner.

I cannot see any problem with anyone doing this. If you want to put your big wins up on here, then you should be able to do so. It's always nice to see that people do actually win big on these sites

People love sharing! It's a sharing caring world, and if someone can make something out of it then it's an even more sharing caring.....greedy old world! I can see each point of view but think that the idea of sharing sheer luck is a slot machine providers dream marketing tool. While I wont lose sleep over it, I can see that many will be encouraged by this to give that game a go in the inane chance that they too can win a nice pot of money. Shame on slot sharing!

The thing is the new ideas to be good ideas, not like this one. And as the time goes their ideas making it harder to win in the casino. There are too many hungry slots out there, that can eat you alive, not only your money

That's all there is though. Nowadays every online slot is about features and gimmicks, otherwise nobody would play with them.

Yea, its all about features along with visual and sounds on them. Some of the are like movies with two much videos in them. But nothing is compared with the sound the coins make, when you win in a real casino and they start dropping
