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.

I’ve played Wild Heist once.  My 3 picks were 3 extra spins, +1 wild and another +1 wild.  No re-picks, and it still went for 140x.

Best starting set-up is probably 3 extra spins, +1 wild and the golden ticket.  Best golden ticket would be walking wilds because they stop the free spins like they do in Jack and the Beanstalk and it can then go on for ages.  If it re-picks, then the best pick would be a multiplier.

To save from creating a new post – whenever the Bandit plays Novomatic slots e.g. Reel King, the sound lags behind the visuals.  Does anyone know what causes this?

Haha all from 50p, good old Ernie smashing in the win!

 

Yeah i have got a fair few tales about fruit machines for example, when they say “add 5p to play” then actually winning the jackpot off that 5p lol The chances!

I had similar as well – I put £1 into a Power 5 (Deal or No Deal) fruity and I caught it in the middle of a streak!!  So someone before me must had zero credit, collected his £35 jackpot win and left, then the rest of the streak went for another £35 for me.

Karter, I’m not sure how your link is relevant to this topic?  It links to another forum (off-site) with about 8 threads, all with zero replies.

I remember Mazoona being a fruit manu though.  One of them was called Monopoly Road to Riches, but they haven’t released any new machines in the last 10 years IIRC.

Scratch cards is the one area of gambling that I’ve never done well on.  Biggest win on a £1 card is £9 and biggest win on a £2 card is £15.

I mainly stick with fruits and cat B3 slots 🙂

I’ve been playing as a casual (no pro / player knowledge) since the early 90s, in my early teens.  I don’t remember the early titles, but I do remember that my gambling also included video blackjack.  Similar graphics to a BBC Micro or Ceefax / Teletext i.e. 8 colours.

My favourite era was £25 jackpot, where I thought that the manus stuck a good balance between jackpot size and gameplay.  Favourite machines were Fort Boyard, Austin Powers, and Madness (Italian Job clone).  I also liked the era when Barcrest made a series of games that had a blue board, then the blue segments turned red when you had a super board.  Examples were Vamp It Up, Supernova and All Fired Up.  I also like the ones where you started with a small inner board, then it would extend out.  Examples were High Flyer and Superstar.

After £25 jackpot, I quite liked the £35 and the early £70 (basically upgraded £35rs), then it went to the dogs in later £70.  £100 was truly game over for traditional fruit machines.

Yes it’s the background image of DHV!!

I quite like Cool Jewels.  It’s more akin to the older Bejewelled / Candy Crush games in that you have normal gems and power-up gems.  Also, if 2 power-ups appear next to each other, they combine in a similar fashion to Candy Crush (the mobile app).
