Was it 12 spins where you were gambling for 24? I’ve noticed that often the ‘losing’ 8 or 12 spins can pay pretty well
I’m sure it knows its doing it. It’s a near miss, like 2 pots rolling in on rainbow riches and the 3rd one just off the top of the screen. Extra Chilli does the same thing with purple ronnies.
It’s the best game and the worst game. I’ve bought a mixture of 20p 40p 60p 80p bonuses in a row and had more than 10 losses on the first spin each time before I lost count. I’ve also had a 60p stake bonus buy (£30) pay over a grand with 20 spins. What really annoys me is even when you get 24 spins you get loads of dead spins and also loads of spins where you just get 3 of a kind wins. There is always a stack of the wrong symbols in the way or a bonus pot at the bottom blocking a great win. Sometimes you can get really good wins just taking the standard 8 spins, it just depends on what mood its in I guess. For me the base game seems to pay best on £1.40 or £1.60, you often get £30 and £40 wins roll in.
I’ve had a gambling problem all my life ever since I was a teenager. When the £500 machines first came out I won a few jackpots same as you, and then one month I blew my entire months wage one Saturday, the day after payday, playing one particular machine, think it was Monopoly, it had a wheel that you could spin with prize amounts on it, one of which was £500 i think. It had me transfixed for some reason.
A few years later I had a job where I had to drive around the country, every service station I went past I had to go in and play the fruits. Must have wasted hours and hours and thousands of pounds that I didn’t have (using credit cards and loans). Caused me to lose my first true girlfriend, and ended up having to go bankrupt in my mid 30’s.
I still play now online and at the services and sometimes the bookies, but I seem to have gone past the point where I would empty my entire bank account. I know it could easily happen but I have managed to survive reasonably ok for the last few years. I know I have still lost a ton of money but its just so hard to quit.
1I had the same problem with Betvictor quite a while ago. They had been happy to let me withdraw a few hundred here and there but one day I had a bigger win and got my balance up to 4k. When I submitted a withdrawal request they decided that I needed to verify an old card that I hadn’t deposited with for months and months. I went to my bank and got them to write a letter saying that I had owned the card but because I could not get a picture of the front & back of the card they refused to authorise the withdrawal. I got very upset and spunked all the money on roulette and then closed my account with them.
