They were talking about a Raging Rhino Megaways a while back, not really heard anything on that since so maybe it was just a troll?
Imagine the volatility… although I guess it’s basically the same as Primal Megaways thinking about it!
1Nice win Haz-ma-taz!
I always get nervous chucking on big bets on low return bets… just feel I’m going to get dicked somehow.
1I genuinely find these stats interesting, personally. But I can understand the negative response in regards to the fact that this can be seen as an advertisement to potentially vulnerable customers.
Perhaps just show the raw stats without all the advertising malarkey?
I didn’t leave anything out, so no, nothing has been invalidated.
I don’t think under any circumstances a casino should refund a player because they’ve spent too much. Why? Because actually, I’m absolutely certain that this would only encourage irresponsible gambling. Think about it… if you’re considering whether to deposit your last remaining funds after a tilt session, and then you realise that if you do, and can’t afford food, the casino would just bail you out, why wouldn’t you do it? It’s a no risk situation for you.
I can understand your point about a ban following that so that you basically have only one chance at this, but there are both downsides and workarounds to that also. I just don’t think that is anywhere close to a good solution.
That being said, it’s a suggestion, so don’t think I’m just here to shoot you down, I’m not, I just have quite a strong opinion on that particular statement on this topic.
I know you didn’t leave anything out but you attacked the two issues separately, not combined. I didn’t suggest doing one without the other at that point. The two would be hardwired ie one can’t happen without the other being guaranteed to happen.
That’s why I ignored the whole shoot you down thing. You shot it down by breaking the two events apart. One cannot happen without the other, in the suggestion. If you want to pick it apart, do so knowing that.
I never broke the two events apart? I’m treating them as you called them out, as one entity.
All I’m saying is, I don’t believe the ban element is a feasible solution to the shortfalls of the casino repaying the money back, that’s all.
I find these stats a very interesting viewing, Andy, thank you!
For me, it’s not so much about what your site offers (as Haz40 says, similar wins can be recorded on any site), I just enjoy stats like these as a sample of what big wins have been won, what potential certain slots have in regards to max x win etc.
Is it possible to separate out ‘jackpot’ wins from the normal list? For example, Reel Heist at the top, that cannot possibly be a base game or bonus win – I’m sure the max win on that slot is 2000x!

Mr B:
Like I said bud, if they can DNA test to the point of wanting passport selfies and colossal bank statements with proof of income over a period of months then surely they can have an independent service (as an industry) that could verify if a player has just ruined his or her life and left three children with no food. They could pay the money back and the industry could 100% ban them. If you have to DNA test to walk in a virtual casino, you should have to DNA test to walk in a bookies so staff know exactly who is who and who is suffering vs who is able to tolerate or control their gambling desires.
Although I agree that more can be done in certain areas (and I believe this transition has already begun with the additional and rigorous KYC checks that have been introduced), I could not disagree any more with the statement I’ve highlighted in bold.

Personally, I’ve always been a believer of self-accountability. It’s certainly the way I’ve lived my life, even during incredibly hard times. However, I’d like to see two things change… 1) outright ban on advertising or glamourising gambling, outside of the industry itself (e.g. on a TV advert) and 2) more counselling services readily available to aid recovery.
Absolutely buzzinggggggg! Tried to get tickets for the launch night but all the decent seats are gone, so will probably see it at the weekend. 🙂
What would have maybe been a better response would be “I’m sorry, I’ll make sure next time I leave a spoiler warning in the title.”.
One to consider!
…just to add to this topic, as I can’t edit my post:
When factored in with your affiliate system, you are either a hypocrite or abusing the gambling addiction of others.
I don’t agree with this, as Bandit has been quite clear that he has only used funds profited from Reel King or Wild Swarm since starting this way of playing. Not affiliate funds, to be exact.
1Let’s cut the abuse guys. Completely agree with @MoonHook on this one.
Disagree with the OP? Then articulate why, in a civil way. Debate it. Sick of hearing comments like these made? Ignore it.
We shouldn’t abuse someone, particularly a current or ex viewer, because they have a different view.
Me? I think a large portion of the responsibility sits with the player, and they need to be held accountable for their own actions. But just because this view will differ from the OP’s, doesn’t mean I’m going to go out abusing them.
2I guess the problem is, the market has moved in the direction of higher volatility = better. Many customers want extreme volatility because it’s exciting to have the potential of getting a huge win on any spin. The downside for a lot of us that enjoy slotting, is that the sessions are cut extremely short as it’s near impossible a lot of the time to actually land a decent win in the few spins we make!
I like a good mix, personally. I’d stick to games like Wild North and Steam Tower if I wanted a more ‘gentle’ session, with limited potential.
I actually had a session last night – 1,400 spins on Primal Megaways. Managed one bonus in that time! Pretty filthy, but it’s just one of those things you have to expect with these sort of games.
