Add Tournament Eligibility and Shine Drops to High Roller Items

Background:

Shortly after the launch of ICE Poker, DG released exclusive “High Roller” items. These items can only be claimed by upgrading an entire matching set to lvl 5 aka “Diamond Hands”, along with other requirements.

There are currently two High Roller items:

ICE Crown ICE Scepter

While High Roller items are popular aesthetically and provides exclusive perks (such as private discord channels and airdorps), the community has been asking for additional utility for a while.

Typically, High Roller owners have been involved in ICE Poker for some time and have heavily invested back into the ecosystem.

Proposal:

One way we could add additional utility and value to these items is to make them eligible for ICE Poker Flex SNG gameplay.

Along with this, High Roller items should also get a repeating Shine drop. Some examples are listed:

9 Shine per week = ~47,000 ICE worth of Shine annually 12 Shine per week = ~62,500 ICE worth of Shine annually 16 Shine per week = ~83,000 ICE worth of Shine annually 20 Shine per week = ~104,000 ICE worth of Shine annually

Note: I’d like to leave the exact amount and frequency of the Shine drops to the DG team’s discretion based on community feedback.

I would also like to give the option to put a cap on shine drops if a High Roller has not used the item and reaches a certain threshold, the exact cap amount could be left to DG team discretion and may be altered in the future as they see fit.

Rationale:

Considering the amount of ICE burned in order to obtain a full level 5 set (175k ICE burned per full set), this seems like a useful utility to bring additional value to the exclusive High Roller items.

This will also incentivize those who have invested a significant amount of ICE and time into the ICE Poker ecosystem to continue to be active in Flex SNG games.
