I feel your pain. Things do seem very different now post Covid in the online world. Frequently, like yourself I get bonus round that pay maybe 50x if I’m lucky, like you I’ve had £0.00 in a bonus round as well, but they tend to come from Nolimit city games like Fire in The Hole or Deadwood RIP – personally I think a bonus round should have 100x minimum returns given how much you usually have to pay to get the fuckers in the first place, but the slot companies obviously disagree with me. I’ve had some better returns on one or two Elk games such as Buffalo Toro and I still try Blueprint’s Return of Kong Megaways, but I gave up on Primal which used to be good, but now even after 30 spins from retriggers if you’re lucky enough to get a bonus round you usually just get the bonus guarantee – so yeah, seems if you want to play slots in the UK these days best get used to a non lubricated fist up your arse and in your wallet!
29th November 2023 at 7:42 pm #133435100% agree. I have been ripped 2+k a few times in a session which never used to happen. What I have noticed though is bonus buys from Relax and some hacksaw have increased. Like a what used to be $200 buy is now $206 or something. Might not seem much but how many people are paying that extra 3% or whatever for a bonus buy. All mounts up but I bet the RTP is the same as it used to be when it was $200 for a $200 buy. My last session lasted over 12hrs! this was trying to get my money back. It eventually happened but what a grind out. I need to take another break because as you say, everything is ripping, things are different.
29th November 2023 at 10:31 pm #133430I think it’s all rigged like you say it’s all down to post covid how else are they going to get there money back by reducing the RTP. In other words the bonus means nothing to them or the players. Sugar rush for example and the alike £250 bonus buy and return £7.50 from the bonus is that a 96% – 98% RTP what a load of rubbish sorry chaps and chapesses it’s all there in front of you it’s bloody rigged. And the idea of going back to the last time you played certain games is totally wrong. Don’t get me started on the fees they charge MY GOD. Yer lets charge them fees as well as take all there money off them, watch out they might charge you a loosing fee too soon
30th November 2023 at 4:19 pm #133480Stop buying bonuses is my advice. Use the bonus buy cost as a marker for what the average bonus is going to pay less than. Spin them in at 25%-50% of the buy cost (raise the stakes if you have the funds to do so and havnt been spinning it for a long time) then you are more likely to make profit. If you cant spin it in, move on.
Works for me, in 2 years ive stayed in profit and just play with profits

1st December 2023 at 1:05 pm #133516That’s just a really bad run of luck maybe? You need to vary the casino’s that you play at and also vary your games. I play across 6 casino’s, can be a sucker for going on the same games but I do try new stuff. I’ll usually have a cash out each month but there have been recent times of depositing and no bonuses happening. I might play the games I like at one casino and they are doing nothing, switch over to another and the same games are doing something. All hit and miss but you must have variety in your choice.
If a game isn’t bonusing, have the will to close it and move onto something else and take the loss. Go back to it you build your balance back up.
5th December 2023 at 8:43 am #133568This is my first post. This is all really insightful. I think, as a man who supports others for a living – to make ‘better’ decisions, I’ve found myself often living a bit of hypocrisy. I started playing in 2020. Something really shit happened in my life, and I turned to escape on the slots. I won £17k in a few months. Since then, I have spent all of it – and much more. I haven’t seen a proper win for months. Trying to win it back is a pain in the arse. In the last 2 years, slots have completely gone dead on me.

Totally agree with Spin_em_in…… Bonus buys are very high risk, particularly on slots paying 10000x + as a jackpot. The most riskiest are the ones where there are ‘improved’ bonuses for 4/5 scatters or a ‘super’ bonus, the cost on some are well over 400 times the stake, which is not the most common payout for a bonus round…..Don’t get me wrong, some of the buys are in the affordable range, dependant on the stake, but to hit the max win on Mental or Das Boot for example is not something that is going to happen unless you are very very lucky.
If you are looking for value and fun, I’d recommend playing the slots with random in game bonuses, as well as the more traditional bonus round, at least you are getting some good entertainment for your money with the chance of winning big……. Pragmatic seem to have got a great range of games which offer the chance of big wins in game as well as attainable bonus rounds, plus, if you want to go down the bonus buy route, they are more affordable than most…….. but as usual, it is down to playing the right slot at the right time.
Don’t forget RTP is calculated over the number of spins which have been played on the particular slot in it’s lifetime, so theoretically you could spin the slot 3 times and win the jackpot on each occasion or you could spin the slot 1000 times and not win a bean …..
