6th March 2019 at 10:24 pm in reply to: £1,000 in – 500 spins @ £2 – what game would you play? #53234
– Anything with MegaWays (BTG or Blueprint) e.g. White Rabbit, Bonanza, Primal, Vikings
– Any other expanding ways slots e.g. Laser Fruit, Reel Rush, Phoenix Sun, Temple Tumble
– Any other slots with lots of ways e.g. Jackpot Jewels, Ninja Ways, Spinal Tap, Pink Elephants
– Bejewelled-type games e.g. Cool Jewels, Reactoonz, Chain Reactors, Jammin’ Jars
– Barcrest slots with symbol removal e.g. Thai Flower, Ooh Aah Dracula, Moon Shadow
– Most Merkur slots e.g. Knight’s Life, Magic Mirror II, Vampires
I’m not sure about nowadays, but back in 2015, William Hill deducted 2% when I used Paypal. So £50 from Paypal gave me £49 in pay money.
That looked pretty convincing! The heart rate (etc) monitor is the exact sort of image that BBC News web site would have used 😀
I have £50/month limit on Video Slots and £50/month limit on Royal Panda. This month I’ve had £55 raise on VS and lost the £50 on Panda, so I’m £5 up this month!
Cheers for the link Slotking74. If you right click on the slot, select “this frame” > “show this frame only”, then the slot will re-open in full screen. Much easier to see 🙂 This is in Firefox, so the wording might be different if you’re using Opera, Chrome, Safari etc.
I played 10 demo bonuses on £1 stake. The 3 scatters always landed on reels 1-2-3 and all 10 games were at a loss. These were my findings on this small sample size:
Queen – 16x
Ace – 42x
Ace – 25x
Jack – 10x
Queen – 26x
Ace – 46x
Scarab – 58x
Jack – 63x
Scarab – 98x
Nine – 18xFAO admins – I received a couple of error messages when posting this. 1st error because It was logged out, then 2nd error saying it was a duplicate post. So a heads up if anyone queries this.
Ahhh Virgin Media (and NTL).
Back in the NTL days, the medium internet tariff was £25/month. That was starting in 2002. In 2006, NTL (and Telewest) got absorbed into Virgin Media. My sister became a new customer and she got onto the same medium tariff but at £20/month. When I found out, I got onto billing and asked them to explain the £5 difference. I was told that NTL customers were on an old contract. I asked them to put me onto the new contract and that indeed brought me down to £20/month. However, unlike the old £25 fixed rate, the new rate has crept up £1-£2 every year so that I now pay £38/month. Just for the internet! I wonder if I opened a can of worms when I got out of the old £25 contract, and would it still be £25 now? Anyway, I’m going to ditch Virgin soon and get into Plusnet which is the same approx. 75mbit line speed but at half the cost.
Off-topic, but I’m going to move from EE too. I’m supposedly locked in a 2-year “contract”. Contract should mean fixed rate for 2 years, then I receive a letter to say that my bill is going up 3% which works out an extra £1.40. As the Bandit would say – that’s dirty. Once that contract is up in June, I’m changing providers to O2 and will go sim-only. Everyone needs to ditch phone contracts asap as the major carriers are moving to 3-year contracts.
Customers will vote with their feet (and their wallet).

Hit-and-run posting
Hit-and-run posting refers to a tactic where a poster at an Internet forum enters, makes a post, only to disappear immediately after. The term comes from the hit-and-run crime with auto vehicles, in which the driver hits another car or person causing an accident and then flees the scene. It is also known as making a “drive-by” posting, a play on the phrase drive-by shooting. The post often consists of a lengthy text making lots of claims that can be, but are not always, on topic.
To drive a car, you have to take a driving test, then you get your driving license.
The same should apply when using the internet. Those who fail to comprehend what is being said in a YouTube video would have their license revoked.
Wounded mate, wounded.
I remember Reel King on Sky Vegas 10 years ago. My budget was £25 and I was playing Reel King on 50p stake. I was down to my last 25p, so I switched to 20p for my last spin and it gave me 4 carpets that went for 70x (£14). Gutted that it didn’t happen on my normal stake, but at the end of the day, you are at the mercy of the random number generator!
1I think it’s subjective. If you are a Video Slots account holder, you can go the “RTP” section of your account settings which lists your personal payout percentages per slot from top to bottom. So those who played Bonanza will see a different RTP on their tables based on how well they fared on it.
@Stevie25 – I completely agree with your list too!
It’s nice that a lot of gamblers on here have similar views.
@Dune2000 – I sympathise about the gym / eating thing. I had a colleague once who was addicted to online games (Eve Online and World of Warcraft) and we had office jobs, so a fairly sedentary lifestyle. He would bring 2 rounds of sandwiches (so 4 slices of bread) for his lunch, would eat crisps throughout the day, and in the evening, he would always have a takeaway and drink at least 3 pints of beer. He weighed only 9 stone!
I would like a lot of waste cut from the world. Examples:
1) Where I work in the NHS, it costs close to £100 for our in-house department (Estates) to change a lightbulb. In the private sector, someone just gets a spare tube from the warehouse and bring a step ladder.
2) Big pharmaceutical companies charging £1000+ per box of medication because they hold the patents for those meds.
3) Investors buying property in London but leaving them unoccupied because they know the value will go up.
4) People who own more than 1 house.
5) Bankers who earn £16M plus bonus. Surely it would benefit more if 16 people were paid £1M each instead and they job-shared the role.
6) Perpetual wars.
7) Staff having to throw away excess (perfectly good) food, because if they eat it they get sacked at worst or their tax code gets changed at best.
8) Police resources being used to crack down on cannabis use when there are more serious crimes happening.
9) Millions being spent on trademarking or defending a certain shape such as the Kit-Kat 4 fingers, or Cadburys trademarking the colour purple. Those excess millions could have been spent homing the homeless.
So yes my wish is for some of the above to stop. Won’t happen though as we live under corrupt regimes.
1) I think the slots tease far to much especially the ones with character animation.
2) The rounding off the balance thing I can relate to its a nightmare
3) The ones that make a big fuss over a 15x win
4) The jackpot games that will let you get two of each pot then your next picks are all the mini pot
5) Slots that take far to long to bonus
6) Bonuses that pay very little or zero what’s the point it just a long way of giving you a small win you could get with a 5 of a kind low symbols.
Does anyone else look at the bonus and look at the amount spins it awards you and say well its gave me £xxx of spins for free. Do the games count that or is it just based on your stake x whatever the systems decides your getting?
Jackpot bells when you get a 15x win. Even worse is when 10x is classed as a big win! I think Blueprint and Big Time Gaming got the right idea where “big win” territory on Bonanza / Diamond Mine etc starts at 30x or 50x.
