You got your next session planned for 24th Feb. Maybe self-exclude on VS for 1 week (if that option is available), then when the 24th arrives, put the £600 towards your start balance. Add another £400 or £600 to make it £1000/£1200 start balance for the video.
Since 2001, I’ve used Cyberslotz (anyone remember them?), Sky Vegas, Jackpot Joy, William Hill, all fairly infrequently, just a few months at a time each. Then in more recent years, I use Royal Panda and Video Slots.
My fave by far has got to be Video Slots as I like their Tuesday free spins promo. I’m not sure how the XP system works as I’ve used VS a fair bit and I’m still only on level 1!
1“Hey you guys”… is that a reference to the Goonies? 😀 Anyway, welcome 🙂
The golden age of pub/arcade slots was without a doubt the £15/25 jackpot days.Profitable/fun machines if you knew which ones you could manipulate(legally) with a bit of knowledge to squeeze more out of them than your average joe (providing they’d taken a little bit first obviously)
faves were:
Psycho Cash Beast, Frenzy, Big Brother, Addams Family, Neptune’s Treasure, Pie Factory, King Kebab,
now Im settled down and only play online slots and lose like the muppets I used to laugh at…sad times..lol
Agreed Paul! I remember £10 jackers as well but I had only just turned 18 and didn’t play those very much. I played regularly in late £15 and throughout the £25 era. I’ve only ever been a casual (not “player” or “pro” type) and I agree with you that £15/£25 was the best. A good balance between having fun and not losing too much too quick, and occasionally making a fortune if the machine went invincible.
Favourite machines were: Fort Boyard / The Jackpoteers, Rolling Thunder, Tae Kwon Dough, Revolution / Battle Axe, Dosh & Pecks etc, King Kebab, High Flyer / Super Star, Hellraiser / Vamp It Up + clones, Mega Zone, The Rat Pack, Pie Factory 2, The Italian Job 2. I could name a lot more. I also liked some of the earliest Deal or No Deals from 2006/7 from when the jackpot was changing up to £35 but it quickly went downhill after that.
I know I’ll get a lot of hate for this, but I never got on with Psycho Cash Beast or its Frenzy variant. I also never got on with Pony Express either!
The way I see this is that Chilli, Vikings and Millionaire are marketed to those who like a gamble. They all have a gamble ladder and it is possible to lose on the first gamble.
If you prefer less risk, but you still want to buy a feature, then it is better to play something like White Rabbit, Book of Gods or Buffalo Rising where you will still get a feature and you see it unfold. The latter (Buffalo Rising) does involve a bit more risk in terms of what spins/multiplier you’ll get but at least you’re still getting a feature.
Like you saint900, I learnt this the fairly hard way when I was doing £20 or £25 Chilli buys when it came out last year.
1This game was a part of my huge cash builder the other day. Started off on 40p spins and the super bonus landed (3 chests all 2x) landed me £100 and I was over the moon haha
That’s what I had – 2x 2x 2x, not in a straight line but in V-formation. They cascaded down and more appeared and they were all 2x as well. I didn’t realise this was the super bonus. I thought that the chests were a different colour if it was super.
UK politics – I think it’s sad that we don’t have a choice any more on our parties. Labour are too far to the left (even though I identify as slightly left myself), Liberal Democrats have pretty much destroyed themselves, leaving us with a poorly-run Conservative party. Greens and UKIP have faded into irrelevance. We have essentially become a 1-party state.
Brexit – I got the impression that most people who voted leave are the more patriotic type (God Save the Queen etc), wanted British values and more native Brits in the country. I voted remain so we could keep skilled foreigners working here, filling up doctor places etc, and the diversity that it brings to our food industry e.g. Chinese, Indian and Italian. I also wanted us to stay in the EU customs union. What we’ve heading for however is something that the remainers don’t want, but also what the leavers didn’t want either. Nobody’s a winner here except for the elite at the top of the pyramid e.g. bankers.
Trump – he’s pretty divisive, polarising his country more so than some of the previous US leaders. I don’t agree with his policies, a lot of people don’t, and I think he will fall down the same pit that took JF Kennedy.
PC culture – I believe that we should respect each other as we are on race, gender, LGBT rights etc. One thing I don’t agree with is the cultural appropriate allegations. Someone getting into trouble for taking a Mexican hat to a fancy dress party has created a minefield. People shouldn’t be taking offence for something like that. Another thing I don’t agree with is the Millennial-bashing. Granted they have lived a more sheltered life than some but they get a lot of hate for some reason. I’m not a Millennial btw – I was born in 1978.
Social media – I’m mainly YouTube here. I’ve got Facebook which I check occasionally for groups of interest. I don’t post photos of what I’m eating. I’m also on Instagram but not sure how to use it really. I’m not on Twitter, Myspace, Snapchat or anywhere else.
Conspiracy theories – I don’t agree with most of them e.g. the false moon landings, flat earth society, holocaust didn’t happen etc. I’m not sure about 9/11. I do have my suspicions on the 2017 Manchester bombing though. It happened on the same day that Theresa May had her worst opinion poll in the run up to the 2017 election. It was the timing. Pointless loss of life in the name of terrorism.
Biohazard, that’s interesting about a few of the pick bonuses being truly random.
Every spin on a slot generates a ticket. A bonus is usually a ticket itself. For bonuses that have a gamble ladder like in Millionaire and Chilli, each rung determines how the bonus will unfold or the likelihood of the next gamble winning if you decide to gamble. So every successive rung generates a new ticket.
For a pick-based bonus that is entirely predetermined, the picks and the subsequent free spins will all be generated on the 1 ticket. For truly random picks though, does each pick change the ticket on the outcome of the spins?
1For speeding, you get issued with (I think) a £70 fine. I’ve known a few cases where you could waiver the fine but you have to take a driving refresher test.
Smashing up any type of fruit machine is criminal damage. Like with the speeding, it’s caught on CCTV and should be enforceable as a £70. Or you can waiver it but you would had to go on an anger management course.
notrege – congrats on £500 jackers 🙂
1) Imperial Dragon….. obviously!
2) Spinal Tap
3) Wu Xing
4) The Goonies
5) Primal MegaWays
6) Genie MegaWays
7) Ted
8) Zuma
9) Bejeweled / Bejeweled 2
10) Worms / Worms Reloaded
For Imperial Dragon, there is also Thai Princess which is its predecessor. Zuma and Bejeweled are from old Popcap games which show up very occasionally from the streamers. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Wu Xing from though, but it is one of the progressive “Jackpot King” games like Top Cat, King Kong Cash and Ted.
BTG is my favourite online provider, but yes I’ve never got on with Donuts either. Given it plenty of chances and still yet to bonus it. It’s a shame as I like the music and graphics, like with most BTGs.
6th February 2019 at 8:51 pm in reply to: Playing Monte and Rhino together – what are your online habits? #46897I think it’s just habit for most players. For example if I play Wild Heist at Peacock Manor then I’ll usually play Secret of the Stones afterwards and I know the reason is that the bonuses offer a “choice” with the cards/stones even though I’m convinced it’s all predetermined anyways. I’ll also play Book of Dead and Legacy of Egypt afterwards and that’s probably just to stick to the theme of the slot, strange when I think about it. I imagine you watched the latest Craigslots video as he said pretty much the same thing after playing Raging Rhino. ?
Good call about Wild Heist and Secret of the Stones. It reminds me of another online video where someone played Dead or Alive and Cazino Zeppelin together. In that example though, the 2 slots were being played simultaneously in 2 adjacent tiled windows. I think they were on the same site too, so I’m not sure how they managed that, having 2 active login sessions on the same site?
Amy Adams!
Not sure if the picture will work as some of my other posts had pictures missing too.
The only slot that is worth buying a feature on (imo) is White Rabbit.
Extra Chilli, Book of Gods, Spinal Tap, Genie MegaWays, Millionaire, Vikings and Fat Santa are too degenerate for the average £50 or £100-a-month online punter.
When I saw the pig collecting the coins, I actually thought that it was going to be based on that Chinese-themed game where you keep filling a pot, then when the pot closes, it gives you a feature.
