No some people prefer the higher risk and fair enough, but when I was playing if I deposited £200 which was my typical starting point I wanted it last at least a couple of hours and play a range of games. Also if your aim is to maximise the chance of turning even a small profit, keeping your stake and risk lower at least at first is the better choice.

At least Bonanza might give you a thousand spins for the cost of 100, hard to bonus but it floats a balance well. I wouldn’t ever have given Book of Dead more than 200 spins to bonus before calling it a day.

My first experience with gambling started on the 5p play, £5 jackpot fruities in the arcade. Probably have been better for my life overall if I’d never started down that slippery path but I did have a lot of fun, favourites I remember are Andy Capp (99 nudges was a feature you could land on the board way before getting to the end and obviously guaranteed jackpot), Hyper Viper which was a snakes and ladders jobby, Only Fools and Horses, Excalibur. Later on the £25 jackpot ones when I was 18 I remember there was a Bullseye one, another called The Codfather with a fish and chip shop theme and also a Monty Python one which used to pay me well. The latter you could collect letters on the feature board and if you got enough it would go “I’m invincible!” and then you were guaranteed a (usually repeating) jackpot.

Literally just an extra symbol on the 2nd through 5th reels. Megaways just means it’s an all-ways pays, so marching symbols can be positioned anywhere on adjacent reels, as opposed to slots where they must fall in a small number of particular lines.

It’s been said in a hundred threads and needs to be said again here; the casino has no control over how the games play. You are playing on the provider’s systems, not the casino’s. That Book of Dead session for you at that exact time would have been identical regardless of the site you played on.

Also, genuine question – why are people chasing bonuses on one game for thousands of spins? Even if it lands, it’s a one in a million shot you’re going to get a 5000x full screen of explorers so even if it does land on your 4800th spin you’re still guaranteed to be way down. If a game isn’t playing ball, pick another one and move on!

£4 is way, way too high a stake for a £400 balance, you’re lucky it lasted longer than literally 7 minutes. A good guideline if you want a proper slot sesh with some features and a variety of games is to start with 500x balance, so £400 means playing initially no more than 80p spins until and if you hit a big win.

The username is a misdirection, I think I just picked a couple numbers at random a while back for an internet pseudonym where just argyl was probably not available. I turn 33 in a few weeks.

Fudwoods, got to be old enough to actually remember Elma Fudd, so I’m going with….43.

That gun variant of Wild North too, that bonuses easy.

Scruffy Duck is usually alright, it can take a while sometimes but likes a decent base win too.

 

Prior to my exclusion, I found Scruffy had gone the same way as Gandalf, used to regularly bonus it within about 25 spins but by the end it was taking more like 150, which is not worth it on a game where 90% of the features pay less than 50x.

It doesn’t matter if the vendor was PayPal or anyone else, if you report to your bank that one or more debit card transactions on your account are fraudulent they must refund you.

Would suggest a paid entry comp for non or ex gamblers but I expect that would introduce all sorts of legal issues. And it’s only fair and right that the main giveaways are for people who are active on The Bandit’s affiliate links. If you’re not self excluded everywhere, you can always sign up via one of those links and just have a bash with a tenner.

Gambling Commission rules state that games are not allowed to mislead the player as to their odds of winning a gamble but there does seem to be something of a gray area in regards to this as I have seen gambles on slots that statistically would be very hard to believe are true odds. I have asked for clarification on this matter from an industry source and am waiting to hear back.

For the most part, slot bonus rounds are randomly pre-determined, that is winning the bonus and the amount you’ve won are indeed random but that win was already determined at the point the trigger lands, the bonus as you see it is just a presentation layer.

This does not apply to gamble features such as WWTBAM, in those cases each gamble on the ladder is a new random result. In this specific example, the odds as displayed to you by the “lifelines” are the actual odds the random outcome will play to.

I’ve had the explorer line come in on Book of Ra during the bonus with 10s too. Mind you I gave that game literally tens of thousands of spins over 2 years and only ever hit the explorer line twice. I did try the one line strategy a while back but the number of decent base wins coming in on lines I didn’t have suddenly seemed to shoot up….about 3 full premium lines in a run of 100 spins, so be careful it can also wind you right up playing that way!
