NewTube? Seeing that you like Reel King and Venture, you ought to name it GreenTube 😀
Is there a political spin behind all of this? The trolls’ involvement in the banning of streamers? I get the impression that there are 2 types of trolls:
1. The right-leaning conservative (and possibly religious) types with traditional values. They use their moral compass to discourage gambling. They think that people should be back in their houses by 10PM (curfew). These types are pro-establishment and everyone must obey and conform to the law. They use their “goody two shoes” status to go around banning the streamers.
2. The left-leaning SJW’s (social justice warriors). Don’t confuse liberals with the left, as SJW’s aren’t liberals. They are the exact opposite – authoritarian. They use their nanny-state 1984 agenda to go around social networks, stifling out freedom of speech. This includes the banning of streamers.
Both troll types set a dangerous precedent.
Would like to see you play napoleon ?
Good call 🙂 I’ve seen numerous clips where a couple of wilds in the base game can go huge even if it’s only 4-of-a-kind wins. Mental stuff.
Peking Luck – I think you’ve played this already Bandit. Please give it another bash though. Bit of an all or nothing slot with the 8 – 38 multiplier range.
A lot of the channels I watch are affy. Some are gaming, some are DIY some are music. They all have their own affiliations with the likes of Audible and Patreon. Some are products in their own right so they advertise their own stuff.
The only different with gambling is that it’s an 18+ activity and I don’t have a problem with affy gambling channels. If you are 18+ yourself and you have mental capacity, then by clicking on these gambling videos means that you have consented to watch that video. You need to take ownership on the fact that you are watching gambling videos.
To the butthurt / offended – stop being such a victim!
What about other adult content?
E.g. Top 10 death scenes compilation from horror films.
Sex scenes from films like the Xenia Onatopp kill from GoldenEye.
Music videos with swearing in them.
Videos containing joy-riding and road rage.
References to drugs.
People making dry ice bombs.
Clips from South Park and Family Guy.
Should all of these be banned too? I think that we are pandering too much to the terminally offended. People should choose what to watch on TV and on the internet. Outlets should be allowed to keep their 15+ and 18+ content online without being persecuted by the PC police. If you’ve watched something that has scared or offended you, then at the end of the day, it was you who searched for it and clicked on the results.
Xbobmad is right. Wish Upon a Jackpot is available in pubs and arcades, along with most of the other Blueprints.
Kojak – agreed with you on Battle-Axe and Revolution!! Around 2002/3 era if memory serves. I also liked Fireball and Dosh & Pecks which were related in terms of the big roulette-style wheel, except that some numbers were lit up in red instead of white. These were quite strategic as well. I think the big wheel had 16 segments, and if 8 of the segments were red, then it was a silent invincible – a cue for the player to keep playing up to the top feature or jackpot without losing.
1I’m mainly an offline gambler i.e. I play category B3 arcade machines, but I enjoy the Bandit videos as the slots that he plays does overlap arcade machines. Plus, I will admit that I am guilty of signing up to VideoSlots via the Bandit and I self-enforce a limit of £50 per month via the site’s responsibly gambling facility where you can set limits.
What I don’t like is people playing the victim card and then go hating on the Bandit and other streamers. Fact is, that it is YOU that actively searched for gambling content on the internet. If you gamble and you want to carry on gambling, then fine. If you want to stop gambling, then it is YOU that has to make that descision. Not the nanny state, not the internet trolls and not the precious snowflakes for being such a victim. It’s YOU to decide.
Those with Apple devices – could you try using a different browser? I wonder if it’s a CPU usage issue.
Slightly different issue for me as I’m using a Windows laptop, but it would run hot and slow down on Blueprint games. It’s the bit where King Kong Cash does the mystery barrels and the equivalent on other Blueprints e.g. the mystery TV screens in Top Cat. When 86-odd barrels / TVs rolls around everywhere, that’s when the laptop got hot. Turns out that my browser (Firefox) was only utilising the on-board Intel HD Graphics 4600. Once I changed it to use the dedicated Geforce GTX 960M instead, the Blueprint slots performed fine and no heat issue any more.
So in summary, try changing the web browser, and if you have more than 1 graphics card, set your browser to use the higher spec one.
Any thoughts on Daily Motion? It’s a video sharing site like YouTube.
£50 White Rabbit buys for me 😀 I start with £50 as that’s my month’s limit, play a few different slots first and try and get my bankroll up to £80, then that’s usually good for a couple of White Rabbit bonuses.
I’m not sure about online gambling, but I can give you an example of offline gambling (B3 / £500 machines): a game called Sphinx Wild. It landed the scatters which awarded £3, then it played 15 free games for zero. So I just received the £3 from the scatter.
I agree that it’s wrong to program a zero bonus into the slot. Instead, any zero bonuses should be implemented as a zero base win instead. By doing that, it’s less of a wind-up for the player.
My main PC (laptop) sits in the kitchen on a breakfast bar. Behind me is the cooker etc and on the bar I can see into the rest of the ground floor as all of the ground floor is knocked into 1 large open plan room.
About eBay’s automated processes, I’ve had woes but as a buyer. The seller stated shipping as Royal Mail 48, but he lied and got given a tracking number for Hermes instead. Online tracking says “left in secure location” and I couldn’t find the thing anywhere. No card through my letter box either, so I think the driver got the wrong house / street. I filed an item-not-received dispute, which was closed automatically by eBay because “the seller has provided valid tracking”. So no item, no calling card and I’m now out of pocket. In the end, I filed a dispute on the PayPal transaction, and there is some degree of human help on that platform. This time, the case closed in my favour, got the money back and then I re-bought the item from a different seller. To add a bit of insult though, the negative feedback that I left for the 1st seller got removed, again an automated process on eBay’s part.
Granted, some automation is good, but the above example marks a dangerous precedent if we were to go fully robot.
I work in admin, arranging appointments for clients and suppliers from around the world. Pretty boring but pays well @ £10/hour, 30 hours a week. There are 7 people in my office which can be damn noisy at times. I’m looking forwards to moving to a smaller office where there should be just 3 of us, in the next week or 2.
