£100 is my monthly limit on William Hill.  £150 on Videoslots.  No other casinos, so £250 all-in per month.

Everyone’s answers on here will be different / subjective.  There are no right or wrong answers, just down to how volatile you’d like to go.  Essentially, it’s you vs the random number generator.

On William Hill, I rotate the £100 on Invaders Megaways, Pig Wizard MW, Moriarty MW, Break Da Bank Again MW, William Hill MW.  I also sometimes play the William Hill version of Imperial Dragon.  Completely the same game as far as I’m aware, just different graphics.  If I’m feeling brave, I’ll add a in bit of Eye of Horus.

I get your frustration Seyahkram, and I’m fine with the language you used here (I’m not easily offended!) but I have a feeling that VS won’t return to this forum because of this.

Although VS could have acted on your wealth enquiries more swiftly, at the end of the day they’re only enforcing what the UKGC is asking them to do.  The UKGC is at the top of the blame pyramid.  They pretend that they’re interested in the welfare of problem gamblers, but they’re not really because their actions are pushing problem gamblers towards agents, crypto and illegal sites.  It is called virtue-signalling, and anyone from the UKGC reading this knows it.

Good find Centipede, and something for us to watch while we await the Bandit’s next upload 🙂

I subbed in May 2017, which I remember because DHV has only just come and he was playing that lots.

uBlock Origin is your friend.

So the only adverts I get on Facebook are to do with things I do inside of Facebook, being a primary site.  It’s not digging information from 3rd-party sites because I haven’t allowed it to

Imposing checks on £1000 lost in 1 day and £2000 lost across 90 days is rather disproportionate imo.  I reckon most middle-earning gamblers don’t deposit more than £250 per session and no more than once a week.  Anything over that would be financially unsustainable for most people.  The checks should therefore come in at £250 lost per week and £1500 lost over 90 days.  Then extreme players like the Bandit can show his affordability papers and still deposit £1000 per session.

What about slots terminals in bookies?  The machines can monitor how much you have put in and how long you have played, but can the staff behind the counter tell that you have lost £250+ in a machine?

Overall though, I’m in 2 minds about this.  It could help problem gamblers, but is the gov’t genuinely interested in helping problem gamblers or are they doing it in the name of ramping up their 1984 Orwellian agenda?

Does anyone remember Spinal Tap?

Back in 2018 I think, the Bandit was doing £1500 big bet buys on Spinal Tap which activated “rock mode”.  On one of his buys, it went for 11 heavy duty wilds, 11 being the max number.  These wilds got placed across reels 3 to 7, meaning that a symbol needed to match on reels 1 and 2 for the set to connect.  When it didn’t connect, the Bandit was like FUCK YOU!

Chips’ “legal team” will pick out a loophole in this before long.

if you gamble for a long time, you should know March is the worst month to gamble slots they don’t pay much, and by the middle of April they start paying again

Is there a reason behind March being the worst month to gamble?

For me, I find that January is the worst month.  My reasoning is because some peoples New Year’s resolutions is to stop gambling, which means less people in the pubs, arcades and bookies.  As a response, the slots are less ‘swingy’ due to them being played less than normal.  Then come February, 4-6 weeks into the year and a proportion of these New Year’s resolutioners will have broken their resolutions, go back to gambling and the slots become more swingy again.

I followed Chips from September 2018 until the 1st lockdown and enjoyed him as a double act as Chip and Jord.  The banter that went on between them, especially when they battled against each other.  However, when covid struck, Chips increased his daily weekdays content to 2-3 times a day plus weekends on top.  It was too much for me to fit in around my other 2 streamers, Stop ‘n’ Step and the Bandit, whose content remain unchanged in the lockdown.

It’s silly to suggest a custodial, but morally, I felt he took advantage of the lockdown situation which was anti-competative.

After unfollowing Chips, I picked up Casino Grounds who do short 10-minute slot compilations a few times a week and occasionally I see Chips on there. It seems he has a different sidekick now (not Jord) and plays bonus buys in €uros. I’m not sure where I stand with that as the Bandit as done this too, but again it’s few and far in between his £UKP videos, where Chips seems to be playing in €uros permanently.

I didn’t watch the video, because if it’s too good to be true, then it usually is.

It might work for Chipmonkz though as gambling logic goes out of the window when he is involved.

I’m afraid I’m going to have to agree on what others said about Outlaw.

I’ve given it fair few chances now and only bonused it once.  I picked the side equivalent to High Voltage (with the climbing multiplier wild reel).  It paid quite well, just over 75X, but again it’s only the 1 time I bonused it.  Last time I played Outlaw, I put £175 through it on 60p stake and not a sniff.

Out of the recent BTGs, I get on far better with Golden Catch and Millionaire Rush.

We’re talking about £100s digitals in pubs and £500s digitals in arcade?  I don’t play them enough these days, but I think all of these games are random chance.  They can go for hundreds of pounds without a bonus.

Fruit and club machines are all but gone now and they were compensated which made them less dangerous.  Still dangerous of course but less so than a random number generator.

For online, the bonus is non-existent on Max Megaways (by Big Time Gaming), even though Stop ‘n’ Step has had it a few times.

I’ve fallen foul of this, albeit in 2001, so early days of online gambling.  I was given some free credit, something like £10 and played a few rounds of roulette.  Not really my cuppa tea as I’m a slots guy, but I managed to get the balance to £50.  The casino said no when I tried to cash it out as I haven’t completed the wagering requirement.  I know wagering rules get progressively stricter, but even 22 years ago there were rules!  Once I did fulfill the requirement, I was able to cash out £12 as that was my balance at that point.  The money came in the post by cheque!  Anyone remember those bygone days?

I think this is mostly Pragmatic and Nolimit City right?

Some pen-pushers (who have no gambling experience) decided that it’s all a-ok to bet a £500 spin on roulette or Crazy Time, but it’s not a-ok to buy a £50 bonus.

What Pragmatic and Nolimit did was to allow us mortal UK gamblers to play their games at a rate of between 1.2X bet (e.g. Remember Gulag) and 2.0X bet (e.g. Pearl Harbor).  This puts more scatters on the reels for an increased bonus chance.  In theory anyway.
