Everytime I log on to this site on a different computer, the love scent slot machine pops up. I must have played over a 100 times and not won once- I am deeply suspicious of it. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

\"I must have played over a 100 times and not won once\"

lol actually I won a bottle of APC once but I forgot what email address I put in to receive it... I think the Odds are about 1 in 500 Email Addresses.

\"Everytime I log on to this site on a different computer, the love scent slot machine pops up.\"

The Love-Scent saves a cookie on the computer for It won\'t pop up after you tried it already, so the only way to see it pop up again is to go to another computer or clear your cookies.

That´s all so weird. I was able to play it only once and every now and then it pops up and when I tried to play it wouldn´t let me. So now I just ignore it IF it pops up.

I won a bottle of attraction once, oh its real but the odds are 1 in 500 attempts and if you enter an invalid email address then you will never know, its to encourage customers to look around but like everything else on bruces site is completley legitamite, unlike all those APC sites across the net selling \"carp\"

Watcher,

Sorry man, I couldn\'t help it. It just conjured this image of somebody anxiously opening a package of pheros and finding a stinkin\' fish instead. /ubbthreads/images/icons/wink.gif

I cant remember if he did or not, i assume he would to confirm it, because it would probably remind the winner of the authenticity of the prize and also the fact that they would more than likley actually then go ahead and buy something else.

I can\'t remember what the odds are but 1 in 500 might be about right. It is all automated. If you win, you should get an immediate winner\'s screen of some sort, and shortly thereafter an email with \"You Won!\" in the subject line. We get about 2 winners/week on the average. The strange thing is that only about half respond to claim their prize. It used to be virtually everyone. All I can figure is that lots of folks have email spam filters these days and they are bouncing the announcement emails. But what about the winner\'s screen? You\'d think winners would write in about that anyway. The email says\" You won a bottle of .... Just reply to this email with your mailing address to claim your prize. Obviously if you use a phony email address to play the game, you\'ll never get the \"you won\" email, and don\'t get the prize.

It works though, and we send out prizes almost every week.

What if they win a product thats no longer available on love-scent like Xcite wipes... ect.?

Bruce

I offer something we do have; like SOE gel packs instead of wipes. I should just update the game, I suppose. :-)

Something for future reference perhaps, once u have finished youre vaction, you deserve it considering all the work u put into this website. What about a forum only slot machine, perhaps a random prize for active forum members to have posted in the last 2 months or something - say one winner every week for a prize valued at $50 to encourage more forum members - consider it a marketing idea. Or special prizes for forum members who make special contributions to encourage extra effort or something.
Just an idea ive got floating around.

RE the rise and fall of the X wipes:

I had a couple of serious problems with the makers of those wipes. It just wasn\'t worht the trouble of doing business with people like that.
