When I initially first played Bonanza it took me at least 20 SESSIONS of about 100 spins each @ $0.80 USD to finally get the bonus. When I got the bonus, I netted a total eye dropping amount of $25.00. Needless to say I didn't play this slot for quite a while. I began playing it again a couple months ago and can get really big wins from single round spins, some close to 100x betting at $1.20 a spin. The blasted game still almost refuses to give me free spins always getting close to the point I just end up quitting. If I am lucky enough to get the bonus round, I can only get 80x maximum with a few $25.00 spins thrown in with dead spins. Multiplier gets up to 8 times maximum for me. Normally I'll get the bulk of winnings in the first couple spins and then it goes cold. NEVER, I mean never will it end a bonus round hitting anything. I remember getting a bonus round like 3 spins into a session once, then immediately getting additional spins on the first spin of the bonus round. After that I barely got $10.00 I didn't play it again for a while. Two other similar games by Big Time Gaming, Extra Chili and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire have had similar results for me. Although I have had some 200x + wins on both of those. On both of these games, I have gambled to get additional free spins maybe half the time only to lose 90% of the time. That includes on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire having a 85% change of picking the right answer only to have it be wrong. Frustration does not truly describe how this can make one feel. The only thing I can think of after these situations is a baseball bat and whoever designed these games. These games play monumentally different on various online casinos but with the same results for me. Free spins or big wins escape me for the most part. As they say, mileage varies widely eh? Funny enough, I'm a glutton for punishment and I do enjoy the games. (I know I'm an idiot) Lately I've been playing some similar variations of this game design (Megaways) from Blue Print. They have been very kind to me.

I tried this when signing up with Melbet about 6 months ago. I insisted on verifying my identity as I have all the documentation they could possibly need and more. I was told flatly to wait until the time arises. Sure enough about 2 months ago, they asked for documentation but oddly enough they only wanted to see my passport and a photo of me holding it.

No I can't say I am having drastically slower withdrawals. In fact, I'm lucky if I even get to withdrawal. Haha (just kidding). To be honest, 95% of all the times I withdrawal are within an hour or two. American living in Asia by the way..... Go figure. All jokes aside ladies and gents, the slots these days seem to have a lot more dead spins and the free spins are quite skimpy. I find it's better to balance online gaming activities with a combination of live table games and slots. In my experience, sticking with slots exclusively (most of the time) will end in a depleted bank roll. (Said the degenerate gambler ) It's all in good fun folks and sorry to hear some are having issues with slower withdrawals. It's like pulling teeth sometimes to extract cash from online casinos, compounding the issue with delays is completely out of order.

To the OP, I am truly sorry to read your problem and I can only imagine how upset (to put it lightly) you must be. I'd be through the roof myself. I sincerely hope you end up getting your cash and appreciate you sharing this to us all. I have been a member of Melbet for about 5 months and initially they where fine. The last two months has been much different. First, it took them 2 weeks to verify my identity with a withdrawal request of a meager $200 held in limbo. It was finally resolved and I did get my money. During this time however, I asked the status of the situation and received no response. When it was resolved, I received a rather unprofessional one line email stating you are now verified. No personal touch much like a robotic response. A little courtesy explanation or something would have been nice. Perhaps I'm asking too much but I think not. However, since then I swear I can't win nothing on that site. I have probably made 30 or so small deposits since then and cannot win. Their slots play SUPER flat with an unreasonable amount of dead spins on every single game. If you are lucky enough to even get free spins you'll maybe get a total of 20x. Many times barely even your stake. I don't even bother playing on their site anymore as it's like flushing money down the toilet. By the way, they are using the same software as 1xbet meaning they are simply rebranding it through their partnership program. I still play on 1xbet and they are generally fair but their communication could be better.

Rival has some huge win potential with Mystic Wolf and Scary Rich (I believe 3 titles 1,2 & 3) but they can be really tight. Worth playing as you can enormous wins. Some casinos here in Asia anyway seem to bring the bet levels really low on Rival games as you can get some decent wins when the bonuses and free spins are hitting. One of the only providers that have advanced free spins in their free spin offerings. Most notably Mystic Wolf with the multipliers increasing heavily.

First of all, thanks to the OP for starting such a great topic for this forum. Really good subject to share are experiences as this issue changes over time for me at least. I would have to say ANYTHING Play N Go as I can never get even a win of 10x or more with them. They have always been quite tight for me across just about all their games. Coming in right behind them are Netent games (I know most people rave about them). Yes Netent is very stingy for me and I have played them rather extensively with my biggest win being a meager 250x. Other notable companies I can never get a good win with are: Apollo ReelRNG Booming Red Tiger I know these are rather broad strokes naming providers but I tend to try 75% of their games before I give them a miss. One last comment for now and that is about Immortal Romance and many Microgaming titles, they are a complete waste of time unless you wish to flush your cash down the toilet. About 6 or so months ago they completely went down the tubes for me. Too many other good games out there to waste my time with them. Also Wizard of Oz and Break the Bank Again, they are totally useless.

Wow man, nothing ceases to amaze me one bit. It sort of reminds me of a personal issue I'm having with a casino at the moment. They can't seem to allow me to withdrawal and want me to lose everything. Just because the gentleman in question is savvy with the cards and won a $1000 bucks he gets banned? In the grand scheme o things that's not a lot of money or at least it shouldn't be to the casino offering $250 and up a hand tables. This literally could be anybody as many people are erratic or play on emotions going full tilt and in most cases losing. I saw a geezer do that a few weeks back, he was better 100 Euro a hand with side bets of 20 euro on three spots. He lost like 3 or 4 hands in row and brought his bets up to 500 Euros and he won! One of his side bets also hit str8 flush. I was happy for the guy and he did the right thing by leaving the table immediately. Anybody with half a brain could tell the guy was fuming as the dealer kept hitting miracle cards with 6s showing. I do not doubt the validity of the information you posted here one bit. Betfair my bloody *ss. I don't blame the guy for blowing it off and moving to greener pastures. On a personal note, I might know the guy as I have a condo in Pattaya and have lived in Thailand for 30 years. It's a small World among the foreign community in LOS (Land of Smiles) specifically Pats. Cheers for posting that and I believe I know the forum in question. If I'm right, it gets a bit too political on several levels there for my tastes. I prefer to live and let live myself and not get personal.

I actually did a little research into the viability of playing blackjack online and whether or not it's legit. I came across several renowned card counting experts who all said pretty much the same thing you eluded to, the deck penetration is such that it's not a feasible undertaking. The conclusion most "professionals" came to was to stick with live games if you wish to generate a profit which was my thinking before even attempting an online session. It's a much different game live IMHO and to be honest I have seen either the luckiest cards for the house on the planet or my luck is worse than death itself, perhaps something in between. I'll let the reader decide there. The biggest turn off to me is the erratic and totally moronic play of other players. I do very well if it's just me and the dealer 1 on 1 or with another skilled player, however this is rare so I try to take advantage of a slow table when the chance arises. From my pretty extensive experience in live games, horrible players get razzed pretty well from the other people sitting on the table so it mitigates that aspect or playing at higher stakes tables normally eliminates that aspect but not always. I wonder what casino that was who banned a player for varying his bet sizes. This is the only way to potentially walk away with winnings. This reminds me of a session the other night that I felt something was amiss. I go to a table with a $20 min and notice there are two players each with 4 wins in a row. So I sit down just as a round is ending. I quickly place a $40 bet and the cards are dealt and I get a blackjack.. Immediately after that hand ended, the other two players leave (I found that strange as they had each 5 wins in a row) and the dealer suddenly changes the shoe without any cutting card whatsoever. I saw this and thought, something is not right so I bet the minimum $20. I'm dealt an enticing 11 with the dealer showing a 10 and I declined to double and just took a hit and got a 6 making it a 17 to stand on. The dealer magically has a blackjack, go figure. I immediately clicked off and went along my merry way. Another thing I have found playing online is it's almost predictable when a losing streak comes on. Without fail, I have noticed when a dealer is hitting 21s and getting blackjacks they tend to tear the table apart. Just my observations so far as I really haven't seen many players make a lot of money, not like one might in a live atmosphere. I don't like losing constantly so I tend to bolt from a table after losing a couple hands in row at $20 to $50 a round. On the $5 to $10 minimum tables I'll stick around trying to ride out any minefields but I must say they can be brutally long to the point of hopeless abandonment. In any event, you might want to do some search on YouTube regarding online blackjack scams or cheats. You'll be surprised at what you see. Thanks for the knowledgeable and informative response, I appreciate you taking the time to do so. Cheers!

Nothing like a little housekeeping to brightening the day, eh? Bingo my friend, I immediately have crossed this casino off my list of potentials because of this type of behavior. It's not a good indicator at all. To answer your question, yes I'm dumber than a box of rocks mate so I guess those posts are directed at me Good of you to let some of the posts stand which actually adds value to this thread as you know. In this case, in more ways than one and at the same time a certain party doesn't look so good either..... You might consider sometimes editing them with either something funny, add a useful link or even enhance the keyword structure. Just a thought.

Thank you for the kind welcome, it is most appreciated indeed. I read you dropped 4 "C" notes in the game, sorry to hear that but as you know it happens. Personally I think of losses of that nature as a donation to someone else's good fortune. At least that's what I tell myself after smashing something or putting myself in a "safe area" to weep. You guys have a really informative, professional and well tabulated forum and website here, I can imagine all the time, effort, blood, sweat and tears you must have endured since it's inception. I too own a forum using the same software, IP Board from Invision since 2009. Great software by the way with loads of bells and whistles. I see you are utilizing it quite nicely. Mine is an Asian Travel forum, a much different niche so I have first hand experience herding cats, keeping the peace and tabulating data. A very helpful resource and quite renowned for good reason. I salute your efforts and look forward to contributing to its extensive level of content. Hopefully I can provide a nugget or two of useful information as well. I tend to have my wires crossed at times but I am respectful of everyone and their individual views. That's what makes these platforms entertaining and illuminating. I see you have an introduction sub forum, I'll be sure to post something in there shortly. PS - Don't worry I'm not selling anything I'm just hear to have a good time and share some frivolity and fun with the folks of your community.

A quick update on Dragon Tribe. I decided to give it try with my final 20 bucks and got down to 2 dollars. Moved to 20 cents and ended up getting the free spins which yielded a win of $76.50. I was happy but I never pull 20 cents a spin. I know, I know we are never happy and yes I know, I'm lucky to even get that but you can't blame me for being honest. These blasted slot machines can drive a man crazy or to drink heavily. Good thing I don't drink anymore and I'm already crazy so I'm immune.

Here's a couple recent big hits I had within the last month. Note: The amounts are in Thai Baht which is approximately 30 Thai Baht to one USD at the moment. This first one is from Dragon Prophecy by Red Ruby, one of my more lucky providers for some reason. I regularly get 100x to 300x but it comes and goes on just about every game. I actually can't believe the incredible luck I get from Red Ruby, I wish all providers paid as well. Dragon Prophecy on 8 Free Spins, one win was 30,000 Baht. I was too shocked to take a screenshot of them and it happened so fast normally with wins of this nature they like to show off a bit, sorry fellas. Nice 1000x as I was betting 50 baht a spin The second big win is the jackpot on Monkey Money by Boongo. I know what many are thinking and yes it's rather drab but I like one line slots going back to the old days before this onine distraction. Nice 900x at 20 baht a spin

I've played this slot quite a few times with some decent hits of between 100x to 300x playing 40 Thai Baht a spin. I believe I have a screenshot or two somewhere. I'll dig through my collection and post it here.

No Limit City games for me very stingy, more like tighter than a mouse's ear would be more descriptive. Especially Creepy Carnival which I've played far too many times at 1 euro a spin. My biggest win on that was 50x on one of the shocking times I actually got free spins. I did hit one good win on Tombstone that was 100x but besides that their games are dry as a bone for me. With that said, I decided to give the new game, Dragon Tribe a spin and to my surprise I walked away 100 euro richer. Which isn't much but I did not complain

I found this game to be boring as the side of barnyard. I gave it about 20 spins @ 1 dollar and decided to move on. I didn't get one win so it was dry as a bone. No I don't have ATD, the game was not at all interesting and if I'm not having fun I vote with my mouse.

How many times was blackjack the end result? I would imagine probably over 50 percent. Another thing I'd like to point out is the unbelievable amount of horrible hands dealt to a full table with of course the dealer ending up with a 20, many times suited 10s, Js, Q or Ks. You look down at the table and everyone has either a 12 to 15 with one or two players with an 11. They double in some cases and of course get a 2,3 or 4. The other night, I saw a guy with 3/3 perfect pair. He split them and ended up get 4 3s in a row on the first hand making a 15. He hit it again and got a 5. His other hand resulted in 21 and when the dealer flipped over the under card it was a 6 making her hand 16. Of course a 5 from the deck comes out and everyone lost. I played a lot of hands in Vegas in the late 1990s and early 2000s when there was no side betting except at the old Flamingo where they had pocket Queens of Hearts @ 25 to 1. This was the first time I saw a side bet and I asked the dealer what he thought. He just shook his head indicating it was a sucker bet which I knew already. Funny enough I had a lucky streak going and decided to put a 25 dollar green chip on it and it hit. With that said regarding side bets, we used to make a lot of jokes about getting straight flushes and suited trips playing in Vegas as it seemed to happy quite often in live play. Rarely do you see this online,like once in a blue moon. Another thing I've noticed is when A's come out they are strung together like 3 or 4 in arow. When or if I see this it's time to go.

Wow this post hits home for me and I'd like to thank the folks who have contributed so far. I do have experienced the same circumstances over and over. Not only that, the dealer also is showing a top card about 8 of 10 times (A-10). If it isn't any of those cards it's either a 9 or a 2. Rarely do you see them with a 6 or 5. If they do, they have an under card conveniently being a 4, 5 or 6 meaning when they turn it over it's either a 10 or an 11. I've had sessions where I won 1 hand out of 10 mostly getting a 12, 13, 14 or 15 dealt to me. The dealer almost never busts and ends up with a perfect 21 far too many times than normal. I have played a lot of blackjack gambling most live for 30 years. I've never seen such a lack of 10s or As for the players. The dealer has no problem picking those cards up and I would say 7 out of 10 hands ends up with a 20 or 21. I too have noticed very erratic players pop in and out of the table like popcorn. They will play one hand and leave or switch seats around you. This type of play should be banned as it destroys the flow of the cards. That and the ability to play more than 2 hands at a time. I believe the limit should be 2 hands as this is pretty standard. Also there are times when the dealer seems to already know you are going to lose or they are going to win. Look at their faces and mannerisms closely and you can tell they know what card is coming next. On that note, search YouTube for blackjack cheats or online blackjack and you'll see some things that will make you think twice. It looks to me like you guys know the percentages like I do and I can honestly say playing blackjack online with Evolution gaming is dodgy in my humble opinion.. I avoid them now especially the Free Bet and Infinite Blackjack, that is totally rigged. I find playing Pragmatic and also Ezugi to be fair at the moment. In regards to shuffling, I think that should be done transparently in front of the players along with the cut card for the shoot. Have dice to determine which player shall call a specific number or something transparent in nature like this.
