Wow! Now I'm seeing a better picture of you, Joe - a high roller indeed!
Anyway, all the best in your endeavours...but don't ever break your barriers...if you know what I mean. Chasing losses can be disastrous, but you may already know that, hehehe.
Yes I know. I know, yet I still do. Boredom is a killer. Gambling is very exciting however... it can easily lead to the undoing of ones self. Sigh...

Okaaay, I see it now Joe.
Looks like your luck is better with bigger bets than small ones? Geees...don't take my word for it...I'm only presuming!
I don't bet small. $25 is the minimum. Max I've bet is $250 but I rarely ever hit anything on $250. Generally the median $150 is the sweet spot for me. Ofcourse most of my sessions barely last more than 10 minutes but it's in the hope that I can get something decent. If not, then I move on. I have been very tempted to hit up the local casino and try the big money slots. Like, the max bet you will ever see in a Pub is $10. I wana bet $50's. I think I'll do that. Most of my winnings lately are going to be paying for the loans I took to buy all the capital equipment for my business.
I'm excited - very. But I really need to get this temptation in check. I've blown way too many winnings on recalls and I always blame the casino for taking too long to process the WD's. So now, if a casino doesnt have wager limits, I do my best NOt to play there.

Wait a minute Joe...didn't you say a week or so ago that you were having incredible luck and winning like your own business? Now you're saying you're not having any luck anywhere else...so what happened to the casino that you were winning at?
As for Aristocrat games...I think I did come across one or two casinos that had Aristocrat games...but since I don't Play them, I don't know where to find them now.
Yeh I had luck then, but was playing in some smaller deposits and wasn't getting anywhere so I went hunting for a place. And found that. Lost there too but was just intrigued at all the pokies I was familiar with from the Pubs and Clubs was online haha. It used to be like a point of convo back with my old group of friends who used to say wouldn't it be fun to get the pokies at home. See back then no one was really familiar with American style slots. We all thought American slots were Lever pull 1 line. Ofcourse that's not the case.
Oh in answer to your question, I am extremely terrible when it comes to temptation. So I set wagering limits and deposit limits on the sites I really like. Hence why I can't go back to my usual haunts.

Looking for a Casino to play on because I had like NO luck anywhere else and I came across this place called Casino MGA. The website sucked. It looked like it was made back in 2006. Anyway, the only reason I was so intrigued to deposit was because they had something NO OTHER online Casino I've seen has... Aristocrat games. For those who don't know - Aristocrat make stand alone machines. They have games like Buffalo!!! and Where's the Gold and the old Queen of the Nile machine.
I didn't win and the place looked like ***** and I am dead sure those games are pirated because Aristocrat would never give their license out, or at leas that's what I think. I didn't even find the casino on this website.
I will admit it was pretty cool getting the Pub Slots at home haha. Has anyone ever played Where's the Gold? The one where you get the 3 dynamite scatters and then you gotta pick a character and it shows the Symbols that will be turned into Wilds and the amount of free games as little gold nuggets. Fido, Whinnie etc..

Did you write a complaint in complaints section?
That's what's they are scared of the most... imo.I thought the complaints section mainly catered to disputes. More than happy to write one up.

To add insult to injury, they took a $100 fee from my first 2k Withdraw
If it was the bank that took the fee, it means they are sending the funds not in your native currency but rather in their own main currency So there's that too.

This is just a message to anyone considering playing on Kahuna Casino and betting larger bet sizes (all in AUD)
This Casino is fairly low liquidity. They have Withdraw limits such as the following;
$5000 monthly however it is $2000 max per week. Which means you have to leave the funds in there and manually request $2000 per 7 days, then the last week $1000. It takes longer than a month to get the max because they take 2-4 days to process withdraws.
The only way to get upped limits is to hit the highest VIP level which would require $500,000 worth of Wagering.
This casino has no responsible gambling system. They only have Deposit limits, and they are only for the Daily time frame. This means that you can only set daily deposit limits. Not weekly, monthly or yearly. They have no Session limits or Wagering limits.
I won big there but I also won big elsewhere so the funds in Kahuna didn't matter to me.
So, if you are hitting a Casino in the hope you might snag 10,20, or 50k. This is not the Casino you want to win on. It would take over 2 months to recover 10k. Over 4 months to recover 20k and 10 months to recover 50k.
This is all deliberate. They know that players are not going to wait those lengths of time to recover decent wins. Even a win over 2k would require over 2 weeks to recover. All the while trying to persuade you into playing all the way up to the highest VIP level. They know the mentality of people who wager online. Not all of them have the will power to sit there and wait all that time for some measly funds.
So stay away and do not deposit a single cent in there without understanding the above. Otherwise the casino has some nice games. Games that are not unlike any other casinos games. Games that are on offer in hundreds of venues besides this one. So if it's the games that attract you, then you are quite silly to play there and not elsewhere.
I have won on the following Casinos which have more realistic limits.
Jokaroom $10000/week (according to customer service)
Oshi $4000/week
Bao Casino ($4500/week)
Emu Casino ($20000/Month).
My total is... large. They all have responsible gaming limits that are able to be set. Best of luck.

Yeah seriously Joe....What's your Casino Secret
Honestly I have no answer. I have just been EXTREMELY lucky. Beyond any measure of luck. At this point I am starting to believe in Luck as a force that flows. Because beyond Casino's, I have been extremely lucky. I wonder if I am able to register to Bitstarz... I think I got really upset with them once anddddd may have excluded myself.

I won again... I was happy until I saw the casinos limits. 5k a month? seriously? I should really check these things before I play at a place. My regular casino has 20k a month limit. Nice. I won't usually withdraw unless its 5k+. I won 20. Actually I won 30, but when I saw the limits I thought what's the point. 6 months of waiting just to withdraw? So I came to my senses and stopped at 20.
Honestly... these casinos with low liquidity and low limits. Is there a point in playing?

You should ALWAYS request for closure of your account first! Self-exclusion has many other 'undesirable' implications and should only be used if the casinos cannot close the account for you - yes, I have encountered several casinos that couldn't do it, but I never activate that self-exclusion into place - I just Let my account there rot!
What implication?

Wow! Congrats on your great winnings Joe!
Let me just say that the most probable reason for all your winnings so far is due to your super good lucky trait! Some punters do have this - they simply keep winning most of the time, but still suffer losses on and off, that's only natural! How long this winning streak will last, no one can know, but when you start losing over and over again, then you can safely assume that you are on a bad streak for a change.
Poker machines eh? Very odd indeed! Perhaps the early players kept poking at the machines when they are losing? Hahaha.
I don't have an answer to that. I remember back in the early days when I was a kid, these machines were illegal. There used to be places around with actual video poker machines in back rooms and maybe that's where they derived the name from. I remember the old electronic video poker machines. Jesus they were so *****. But that's just an assumption. It was not until much later the Government legalised them outside of the Casino and now pretty much every corner pub has machines. Around me there are probably a good 2000 machines within a 3km radius.

All wins and losses come from the game's algorithms...there are times for wins, there are times for losses...and even very occasional times for jackpot wins. Your Play can vary by quite a bit at any casino because of many variables involved.
Generally speaking, not everything is dependent on the game that you are playing. Believe it or not, each individual luck also do contribute to the winnings or losses, and luck too is a variable factor.
Like I said, payouts are governed by the TRTP of the game, the RNG merely ensures that randomness is always maintained, whilst other controllers also do their bits in regulating the game Play and payouts - like not allowing a specific number of consecutive wins to happen, or too many dead spins, and other whatnots.
Stand-alone machines have a percentage payout regulator which can be set, or reset, at will! I know this for a fact since decades ago...but that's a different long story, hehehe. That's why when one stand-alone machine has eaten way too much, it would soon blow out a big win, and that's why knowing gamblers would wait in line to Play that same machine! Perhaps you already know this, or have heard of it before, and that is a true fact indeed! However, no such thing can ever happen with online games!
Ok. So why would an online slot make the mistake of paying out 5000x the bet for a user who has just opened the game up for the first time on that casino? The stand alone machine would spit out a big win after it ate lots of cash from previous players. But the online slot doesn't have that system. I ask this because I have taken a lot of money from a particular casino. In fact I am well ahead of all my deposits by tens of thousands of dollars. I was initially under the impression these things are just money eats and for entertainment only. But depositing 150 dollars and winning.... lots more.... I thought that would never be able to happen
Oh and btw no one I've heard call them Pokie Machines. They're called Poker Machines, but the other term is going to the "pokies". Or, "playing the pokies". Never once have we called them Pokie machines - seems very odd. More-so, I have no idea why they're called Poker Machines. They are not Poker Machines loll

Hi Joe and welcome to the forum!
Used to Play at this casino before the new UK regulations came into place and now we are restricted. Their complaints success rate is fantastic actually so I would take Afi's advise, if you think you have exhausted all your options with their customer support and open a complaint.
hi cocopop
As mentioned before they always do pay. It's just that as of the last few months the payment and verification process takes many days. My withdraw got processed last night. I have to wait a month to get the rest of the funds.
It's so hard finding a good casino to play on. I have issues with so many of them. I registered to wildblaster last night, deposited some crypto and it would not let me bet over the bonus max amount. I had no bonuses :/ so I do what I always do when I hate a casino - I excluded myself :P

I think you call them pokie machines, not Poker machines (may be not your fault there but due to being autocorrected by this forum system - it happens so often, and I don't really like it when that happens - we type in one word, it auto displays another word!)
Anyway, those are stand-alone machines, the kind that existed decades ago, before everything went online. During that era, all slot machines were of the stand-alone kind, but in casinos, all were directly connected to the casino's main server.
Nowadays, all legitimate online games come from the software provider's servers, located at specific locations Around the World. However, each game from there has to go into the casino's operating system first before they can be played online.
If you think that each online game is played without any record or memory of it, you are very wrong indeed! Every spin is regulated and recorded, and kept in the game's main server. This allows the server to keep track of everything that has been played, wagered, won, or Lost, including any malfunctions that may have occurred. Nothing is being left out! So the amount of data being kept is really mind-boggling! Hehehe.
The game is always being played and governed by many controllers and sub-controllers, but all operating under one stipulated TRTP, so that at the end of the century (we actually do not know how many billions or trillions of spins would be needed to complete that one cycle that regulates the TRTP) the stipulated TRTP can be achieved, is achieved, or remain within its accepted percentage limitations.
It looks very simple...but is actually damn blardy complicated and sophisticated!
So how do they regulate payout percentages like the stand alone machines?

You don't have to...if they have any info at all, they will pop in here and give you a reply.
The truth is, I don't know who would have any info on that Emucasino though...
They always do pay out. I've never had a disputed transaction and the account has been around for a few years. They have high max bets on some games and their max WD is 20k a month. So... I dunno - maybe it's a good sign. but in my case I will have to take my WD out in increments because the win is substantial. Wolf Treasure ftw

In Australia we have Poker Machines at every pub. Overseas I believe you call them Slot Machines. Nearly every pub has them. Max bet is generally $10 and min is 1 cent. We have those lightning machines too and they're a lot of fun.
Anyway, so the way these slot machines work, or at least what I've been told, is that they have a payout percentage. They have to pay out a certain percentage over their lie with an element of luck to it. So many people will frequent a single machine and it would tick higher and lower as it takes deposits and pays out. I've had good pays. but nothing compared to online slot pays. They dwarf by comparison.
Online slots though are sessions loaded on a single virtual machine. You are the only one that has access to that session. There is no memory of the previous spin or your previous session. How do they regulate the payout percentages so that the RNG does not send the casino broke on a single lucky/unlucky session?
I've always wondered.

Well, I can't help you out with that, but perhaps Valdes, or Pinnit, or others, may be able to give you some hints on the casino's status.

Well Joe, yours isn't the first time. Many others, including myself, have experienced similar circumstances with casinos.
The strange thing is that certain casinos can be so bad for many, yet so awesome to a few, but then again, it is also a common trait that casinos tend to slow down with time, dragging their feet along, for various reasons of course.
Personally for me, if any casino persists like that several times in a row, I'd close my account there without any hesitation, be it my top favourite casino or not! Why? Simply because there may be many unseen 'forces' coming into Play at the casino, which we customers may not know of, and then suddenly, the casino may go under! If you've spent tons of money there, if you're one of the top VIPs, everything would mean nothing at all in the end...so better to quit before it becomes any worse!
I wonder if Emu is having liquidity issues. Any way to find out? I'll definitely be slowing down my use of said casino once this withdraw goes through.

Lately it's been pretty bad. The Casino website is awesome. I love the games range. The live casino is absolutely awesome. And yeah, I do win there. I lose there but I win there to
Anyway, back int he day, it would generally take like less than 24 hours to get anything done with the verification team and payment team. But lately, in the last couple of months, it has taken up to 5 days to process anything. I am starting to worry that the casino may be low on liquidity.
About 6 days ago I won some money. Again it took 4 days to verify my documents because I used a new card (it's an old account but a new card). I finally placed the withdraw request and it's been 48 hours already and still has not been processed.
The thing is, I really don't want to play anywhere else. This place is really cool. Customer service for general stuff is really easy to get a hold of. But having to wait 4 days for withdraws... it's inconvenient and kind of diminishes the point of playing. However I will say their limits system is great. So I did not recall my withdraw and play further, I limited my account. So I am now unable to play and rightly so, because I am a huge idiot and recall my withdraws all the time.
Why would any accept a Bonus with Wagering requirements
in Casinos General

Straight up, for sheer boredom. If I got no funds, and a waiting bonus, I'll hit it. But I never take deposit bonuses. They're different everywhere and I would rather not have a win given by a game provider held randsom. I'd rather get that outcome on flat cash.
