The Bandit used to run monthly competitions for people who have wagered on Video Slots, Energy Casino, Metal Casino, Betvictor and so on. Prizes were usually in multiples of £100 up to £500 max.
With @Aldrizy12 suggesting win a pint, the top prize could be a day on the golf course with the Bandit plus a £100 bar tab at the golf club/bar afterwards.
11Pragmatic is kinda the “Apple” in slot-land. Very pretty graphics and well made, but they tend the copy other studios… for the better or for the worse!
That Starlight Princess screenshot reminds me of Moon Princess / Moon Princess 100 a lot with the Sailor Moon thing going on. A grid slot with increasing multipliers with 3 different princess characters. There is also the Rise of Olympus version for the more masculine players 🙂
The Bandit has said this in most of his videos – you can’t please everyone. Just skip the bits that you don’t like.
Please give Punk Rocker (Nolimit) a try. Last night, I had the super feature (4 scatters) for the very first time. On 50p, it went for £62.20, so only 124X. I’m pretty sure that falls far behind whatever the bonus buy amount is. Would be nice to see what Punk Rocker’s potential is. On the standard 3 scatter feature, I once had over 400X.
I’ve never Gamstopped or Gambanned myself, but I did self-exclude from land based years ago. That was from a time when cash was still used frequently. COVID then turned us largely into a cashless society, so I don’t have this problem any more. I can leave my cards at home, pay for everything with my phone and it means I don’t have to draw cash from an ATM to gamble away.
I find managing my gambling addiction online easier because I set a monthly limit and I only use 2 casinos. It used to be Royal Panda and Video Slots, and when Royal Panda left the UK market, I switched that to William Hill and still use Video Slots to make it 2 casinos.
@Exgambler69 – as you have a history of addiction like myself and many others on here, I think try limiting the number of casinos and set a monthly limit on the casino’s site. It will help against impulse gambling, knowing that it takes 7 days to raise or remove a limit, but setting a limit is instant. Maybe try this for 2 months then see if it’s something you still enjoy. Also, as you Gamstopped 5 years ago, a lot of changes have been brought in by the UKGC in that time. Some I agree with such as not being able to reverse withdrawals and others I don’t agree with such as removing autoplay. Banning bonus buys is inconsistent because you can’t buy a 50p/£50 (100X) feature any more, yet you can still put £50 worth of chips on the roulette wheel or Crazy Time etc.
Get the double feature on Scruffy Duck.
A +5 +5 on Bonanza, so 22 free spins.
Reach level 5 on Flamebusters / Dragonhorn.
Get all 4 characters on Luchadora (so you get the 5th character).
Gamble to the top feature on Goonies / Goonies Return.
Get to the red wheel on Super Star Turns.
Get lady + elephant + temple on Thai Flower.
Get a Queen’s reel on White Rabbit.
Fill the middle grid on Danger High Voltage (Gates of Hell) and on Little Devil.
Reach 117,649 megaways on Return of Kong.
Get the gold bird on Dead Canary.
Get all of the upgrades on Jack and the Beanstalk / Goldilocks.
1I’m sorry to hear of your situation @routlem and didn’t want to read and then run.
The Samaritans (116 123) is a good starting point as they deal with all sorts of emotional issues. They’ll listen to your problems will be able to signpost you to a service that is local to you.
Regarding the 2nd post, the Bandit did promote Gamban a few years ago and it is still a link at the top of every Backinamo page, but @Jimbo183 is kinda right in that the Bandit is mainly here as a content creator.
I hope you get the help that you need.
^^ Some web sites have the means of knowing if you’re using a VPN or not. On UK gambling sites, VPNs are frowned upon and can get your account closed. For non-UK gambling sites, I get the impression from this thread that the situation is the opposite. In that a VPN (country spoofing) is required to circumvent the UKGC gambling laws.
The VPN is necessary because you can spoof another country, in Smgxking’s case, Ireland. If you don’t spoof another country, then the crypto casino will see that you’re using a UK IP address and won’t allow you to sign up because of the UKGC laws. Spoofing Ireland will get around those laws.
Stop ‘n’ Step has bonused Max Megaways (by BTG), but I have put a few thousand spins through it and haven’t bonused it yet.
I was a fan of Chips from late 2018 until corona, a time when he ramped up his content 3-fold. It felt like to me that he was taking advantage of the lockdown stay-at-home orders. Meanwhile, Stop’n’Step remained at the same posting frequency and the Bandit was posting every now and then.
Granted the Bandit has upped his content lately, but the difference between him and Chips is that the Bandit isn’t taking advantage of an economical or political situation. He increased his content because he found another avenue of content, which is crypto.
1It’s not unheard of for online casinos to have their own in-house slots. If memory serves, Jackpot Joy had some slots that were theirs. I agree though @Damo that it should be clearer otherwise it’s a conflict of interest.
