Great to see you back Bandit and I really enjoyed your Monday video.

You queried about keeping the inbetween bits in or not, and I’d say yes keep them in.  It will help with features that start suddenly like Book/Legacy of Dead and game sequences like Jammin’ Jars.

Good all-round result and I prefer bonus hunts as it’s less degenerate although I have noticed at least 1 poster in this thread who preferred the degenerate side.

I’ve been on FB for 4 years but I still don’t know what I’m doing on there.  When people are just pushing the like button, I find it impersonal.  On forums like here, people do actually interact with each other by writing replies.

It’s the Bandit’s prerogative to whether he uploads once a week or once a month.  The fact that he didn’t ramp up his videos during the covid / lockdown situation makes him a genuine person imo.

Stop and Step is another genuine channel imo.  He filmed a mixture of arcades, bookies and online pre-covid, and then during covid he did online only but he didn’t ramp up his overall content.  2 or 3 videos per week on average like before.

Compare this to another channel, Chipmonkz, a channel that has been taking advantage of covid by churning out 3 videos per day.  This is knowing that punters are more home-based now.  That doesn’t come across as genuine to me.

Does anyone know what it is that gets the Bandit banned, and yet channels such as Casino Grounds and Let’s Give It A Spin can carry on regardless?  There must be something that the Bandit is doing differently?

As for Twitter, I’m not familiar with Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat etc.  I stay on the forum as it’s a familiar format.  On a forum, you know where your posts are.  On Twitter, you never know where your posts end up.

Thanks Winningbird and Eejit 🙂

I didn’t know about the tax increase.  I guess we’ll have to hold our breath now and see what other legislation his party brings out over their next 5 years in power.  I think we have an annual budget this March.

P.S. this might be a re-post, as I had “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?” when I tried to post.

I’m with Royal Panda and I had the same email.  Interestingly, the bottom of my email said:

“Royal Panda is licensed and regulated by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), and is incorporated under the corporate license of LeoVegas Gaming p.l.c.”

Does that mean they’re the same owners as LeoVegas?

What are the main decisions / implications of an online casino leaving the UK market?  My other online gambling site is Video Slots, and my quota is £50 per month on both Panda and VS.  So when Panda goes, I will probably increase my limit on VS to £100 to keep my gambling spends at the same amount.  I’m not interested in signing up to any more gambling sites.  Just keep it as the one now.

White Rabbit.

I have no sympathy to those who make sockpuppet accounts.  You reap what you sow.

A suggestion for future free draws – could you implement it in a similar fashion to a casino draw?  This is where an entrant is registered with both BIAM and one of the casinos e.g. Bet Victor?  Because the casinos require you to show forms of ID, this should help weed out sockpuppets and then each BIAM entrant should be unique.  Then the free draw goes ahead and doesn’t require the player to gamble in that month, just be registered with a casino for verification.

Great video as always Bandit, and props to whoever it was in the YouTube control room that flicked the switch to re-enable your videos and defy Generation Offended 🙂

I never participate in any bonuses.  That’s usually where the casino matches your deposit 100% then you have to wager 35X.  I’ve seen it all too often where you’ve not had any slot features during your real money.  Then soon after you hit bonus money, the features roll in but your balance is now locked and it’s unlikely that you’ll make it through the wagering.

Are you 100% sure that you aren’t able to get any credit to help tide you over the next month?  You can check where you stand with credit using the Martin Lewis link below:

Not gambling-related, but I recently bought a gaming laptop for £1050.  This is actually the same amount as your salary Delboy.  I just realised this, so it’s relate-able to your dilemma.  I stuck the full amount on credit, interest-free for the first 4 months.  I paid £250 off straight away, then £200 per month thereafter.  Now I’m down to £400 owing so it should be paid off by the New Year just before interest kicks in.

I’m another one on here who found the Bandit via Stop & Step.  Time-wise, I think I found S&S in mid-2016 then the Bandit mid-2017 when Flame Busters, Scruffy Duck and Secret of the Stones was all the rage 🙂

Can anyone tell me – was there a slots scene on YouTube before S&S/Bandit or did it all kick off in 2016?  I don’t recall seeing any slots channels before then.

@argyl53 – I use black background with white text. Not just web browser but OS-wide. The normal way round causes eye strain for me.

Also, why do I keep getting an error on here: “ERROR: Are you sure you wanted to do that?”

It won’t be the gambling element as it has affected White Rabbit and Book of Gods as well.  Plus a few of the Blueprints that didn’t require gambling such as Genie Megaways.  It’s the overall bonus buy / feature drop that the UKGC took exception to.

It won’t stop people from placing £100 bets on roulette though.  Then you also have hi roller spins on Barcrest slots, and that jewel-themed slot that the Bandit played yesterday.  He was playing a base bet of £2.50 but as £25 hi roller spins (which removes the bottom 3 symbols) and he later upped it to £50 a spin.

inconsistency as normal for government-affiliated agencies.  As long as they get their afternoon tea and cakes, out of their cushy office every day by 4PM and 45 days annual leave, that’s all that matters to them.

Judging by the Bandit’s latest video, the UKGC will be cracking down on those Jewel Strike ‘epic spins’ next.  It’s where you bet £25 or £50 instead of your normal stake.  It removes 10, J and Q, leaving the top 6 symbols.  It is £25/£50 PER spin!

The only bonus buy that I’ll miss will be White Rabbit.  That’s because losing features still usually returned at least 50% of the buy-out amount.  Returns of around 15% were rare on White Rabbit, but were common territory on slots such as Fat Santa, Book of Ra, Fishin’ Frenzy and Temple of Treasure.

What I have got to ask though – where do we stand with the 99% RTP ‘hi roller’ spins?  I think this applies to Barcrest only.  Possibly only on Sky Vegas but might be on other sites too.  You buy ‘packs’ of base game spins (usually 5 or 7) for either £20, £30 or £50 with a base bet of £1.  So they cost a similar amount to bonus buys but they don’t guarantee a bonus.  It’s just 5 or 7 base game spins with different rules from the normal single play base game and they may help you fast-track to the bonus but most of the time you won’t get a bonus.

Some Barcrest slot examples that have ‘hi roller’ are:

Rainbow Riches (Pic n Mix version)

Monopoly (Big Event version)

Legend of the Pharaohs

Ooh Aah Dracula

Big Foot (possibly?)

Jewel in the Crown

Lucky 5 Reeler

The Big Cheese
