I'm not much into 'conspiracy theories' to be honest. I know it's never just black and white and when so many people start to share almost identical experiences then you start asking questions yourself... Personally, I'm in the middle of a brutal NetEnt period myself, losing 3K in less then 2 months, playing my usual game style and with bets under 1.00 per spin! I would lie if I say I'm not pissed off like ***** recently... BUT, it is one thing to become suspicious and totally different to prove and/or to find any business logic in such suspicions. Let's just think out loud for a sec... Imagine you are NetEnt CEO or the one who's taking the decisions there... Currently, your company is the undisputed number one when it comes to casino software services, your stock price is climbing, your financial results are more than good, 9 of 10 new online casinos would beg you to use part or all your services and then, all of a sudden, you will decide to cheat/manipulate/rig/etc your software?! Why the ***** you would do that providing the fact that you are already making piles of money on a daily basis?! How stupid you must be to ruin a business worth billions in return of some profits derived from manipulated software worth peanuts?! ... Guys, I hear you, I understand your concerns and I even share most of your observations... But, please, let's be serious and factual when we discuss such serious matters. By the way, I did my homework and went through the winner screenshots topics for the last couple of months. The drop into NetEnt wins above 100 x bet is obvious, actually it is not even close to what we used to get as a number of NetEnt slots based winning screenshots. A fact, I believe is mostly due to the astonishing amount of new wins expected to be posted by the fellow AskGamblers members I hope!

Hello Alise and welcome to the AskGamblers Forum. What you are going through right now is a period which we all have experienced ourselves... Some not so often, while others are mostly into such 'dry spell period' where you just have the odd feeling that you will lose no matter what and regardless of the play amounts and time and games and software...Last time when I had such period it lasted for several months, but eventually it ended up with a spectacular 7K+ win with Dead Or Alive and I quickly forgot about all bad memories. As the other forum members advised above, be patient, play only amounts which you could afford to lose, try to change games/sowftare/bets and of course...try to find Lady Luck's number! It always helps a lot!

Haha, spot one, mate! Indeed, NetEnt would be in a difficult position to promote big wins once and if Dead Or Alive and some of the old slot 'guns' get into retirement... Glad to see you back in here again though.

Do not consider the word 'begging' as the most suitable, prefer to use the word 'negotiate'. So, if we talk about bonus negotiations then YES, I am doing that all the time. With one little, but very important remark though, I'm doing that ONLY in case the casino is decent and their support could understand what I am talking about at all. Cause I can say from personal experience that there are indeed lots of operators where your bonus negotiations would go totally unheard and misunderstood. Depending on the current status of my gambling budget I could negotiate everywhere from a decent deposit match offer up to some free spins or cash, but it is all depending on the particular case and whether I intend to deposit a good amount of money or not.

First of all, hello and welcome to the AskGamblers Forum. Sorry for your really bad streak with Gonzo, but you should take into account that what you have experienced was just a normal run, typical for a high variance game. You could expect such 'deadly' sessions, but if it happened to come to a good one... man, it could be a day to remember.

...OR... Perhaps such people need a LOT more in terms of stakes and winning amounts to get the required quantity of adrenaline .

As promised... Guru talks: Drueck Glueck Casino Terms&Conditions Analysis

Nah, prefer to stop playing Straburst at all and focus on breaking biggy's record with Subtopia.

For your information, we don't allow the usage of external links at the forum usually. However, since you are trying to contribute and not just promote here, we will leave that link for the moment.

Thanks for the kind words and well wishes.

Having absolutely the same experience with Starburst lately...Cannot even remember when was the last time when I saw 3 stars...

Hi folks As previously requested from fellow forum members, it is time for Drueck Glueck Casino and its terms... General Casino Terms 1.1 We consider these terms to be fair... Oh, man! What a great and unusual start of a casino Terms and Conditions! Maybe a bit too bragging for my taste, but still quite an original one! 1.1. … Should you need any advice regarding these terms, or any other part of our service, in your own and our interests, please contact us via our Customer Services Department via the support link on the site and your trusted legal advisor…. Thumbs Up - Beautifully said! Wish more casinos state that to their customers. 1.2. Please note that all telephone calls are digitally recorded and may be used as evidence at Our sole discretion. Thumbs Down - Not true, there are tons of regulations when it comes to protection of basic human rights, such as the right to know and refuse being recorded for example. So, in case the casino intends to use such recording as an evidence in front of a third party, it must comply with all existing legal regulations and sometimes even request player’s permission. 1.3. For transaction security we use SSL encryption. All customer data will be treated as confidential and will not be sold to third parties. Thumbs Up - Hallelujah! Finally a casino who dare to talk about that even assume some a warranty. Way to go! 1.6. By using this Site and/or software you agree to these terms and conditions and any other terms or conditions that We see fit to impose from time to time. Thumbs Down - No way that a casino could validate a term retroactively. 4.4. It is not advisable to play 'Real Money' mode before trying 'Practice' mode. We recommend players practice in 'Practice' mode prior to playing in 'Real Money' mode. Thumbs Up - Now this is something new on the online casinos horizon and definitely deserves a huge praise! 5.4. All information supplied when you register with the site MUST be accurate, complete and not misleading in any respect. We reserve the right to confirm a customer's address by any means available, including but not limited to posting an address verification letter by mail to you, contacting you by e­mail, phone or live chat. If the attempt to verify the details supplied during registration is not successful no winnings will be paid. Thumbs Down - Agree with the first two sentences. But the last one… nope, sorry, could not agree at all. No one has the right to void my legitimate winnings only because casino rep decided to try a phone call in the middle of the night for example. 5.13. Account facilities are provided to You solely to enable you to place bets or participate in poker or casino games. If you, for whatever reason, appear to be depositing or withdrawing money without genuine play, you will be liable to have your account suspended and the circumstances investigated. This may result in a report to the necessary authorities and/or the account being closed. Thumbs Up - Great, each casino must fight with any attempt for money laundering via online gambling facilities. Anti Money Laundering should not be just a bunch of well wishes, but a serious set of precautionary measures and procedures applied by any reputable online casino brand. 6.2. After depositing, you will receive email confirmation of the transaction. We recommend that you print out and keeps details of all transaction data in order to avoid misconceptions and discussions at a later time. Thumbs Up - A very useful practice though, which helped not once and twice over the years in case of a stuck or missing deposit. 6.4. Please note that documentation in the form of ID, utility bill/statement or copies of the front and back of your credit card may be required after any deposit. Thumbs Down - Why not making one more step and request such verification documents before the initial deposit? A rhetorical question of course… 7.3. The maximum winning amount that a player can cash out is €10,000 every 30 days. All other winnings will be paid in monthly installments of €10,000 every 30 days. The maximum withdrawal amount per transaction is €5,000. Thumbs Down - A monthly withdrawal limit of just €10,000 is extremely insufficient for any reputable casino brand. 7.5. Please note that 'winnings' stands for an amount which is more than the total deposits made by a player. As a condition for payment, winnings will not be issued until KYC documentation has been received. Please also note that any winnings over the value of €5,000 may take up to 5 business days to process. This is due to extra security checks performed by Our Accounts Department. Thumbs Down - Some people would call that a ‘stalling a payment’. Including me… 7.13. Once you have made a request to withdraw, your request will first be pending until midnight GMT the following day. Thereafter your request will be passed to Our Accounts Department who will process your withdrawal during the next business day provided they have all the information required to make the withdrawal. You may modify or cancel your request to withdraw funds at any time until your withdrawal has been completed and fully processed. Thumbs Down - A day here, an extra day there...Hellooo, wake up, we are almost in 2016 and there are dozens of online casinos paying faster than it took to your cashier to receive a withdrawal request, let alone reviewing, approving, processing and paying out… 20.2 Deposit Limits: We provide you with the ability to set you own preferred deposit limits within the Cashier Section of our Software. Deposit limits can be set for the following periods: Daily, Weekly, Monthly Any decrease in the amount you want to allow yourself to deposit will be applied immediately to your Account. However if you wish to increase your Deposit Limits, there will be a 24 hour delay before the change takes effect, during which time you can consider if an increase in your deposit limit is appropriate for you. Thumbs Up - I vote for this one with both hands. 20.3.2. Having implemented reasonable checks and safeguards to ensure Responsible Gaming, whilst player limitations are active you cannot open an Account, We cannot be held liable to you or any third party if you are able to continue to gamble on any account under our license. In that event, any winnings that will be originated during your suspension period will be null and void. Thumbs Down - What about the deposits made during such suspension period? You must return them or you forgot about that? 21.1. If you wish to make a claim or complaint, as a first step you should as soon as reasonably practicable contact our 'Customer Support Department'. If you are not satisfied by the answer you received from Our Customer Support Department you have the right to refer it to the Malta Gaming Authority via email to [email protected], or via telephone on +356 2546 9000, or by post to Level 3, Suite 1, TG Complex, Brewery Street, Mriehel, Birkirkara BKR3000 Malta. You can visit the Malta Gaming Authority site at http://www.mga.org.mt. Thumbs Down - Please, update the complaints related details of MGA - their direct line support phone is +356 2546 9191 and they now offer online gaming support for players at http://www.mga.org.m...aming-support/ 22.5. You hereby agree that in the event of your winning €10,000 or more in relation to any of our games you will grant to Us an irrevocable, exclusive and perpetual worldwide right and license, to use your name, photograph and likeness in any media, in connection with the marketing and promotion of Us and the Website, and you will fully cooperate with Our representatives in such regard. Thumbs Down - Sure, why not. How much you gonna pay for that? 26.2 . We may, at our sole discretion and for any reason, terminate your Account. If we wish to do so, you will be duly notified and our actions will be explained to you before terminating the Account. Contractual obligations already made shall be honoured. Thumbs Up - This is how it should be. 31.2. If any future modification is unacceptable to you, you have the right to terminate this Agreement. Any use of the Site by you after such publication on the site shall be deemed to constitute acceptance by you of such amendments, modifications or new conditions. Thumbs Down - Wrong! This term could be easily invalidated in case of a dispute with the casino referring to applying specific term retroactively and without player’s consent. 34.3. Any jackpot payout greater or equal to €50,000 will require an extra 14 days for processing. Thumbs Down - Okay, but it is not clear if this jackpot is about to be paid in a lump sum or player should wait till Judgement day. General Bonus Policy 6.1. If your deposit bonus/offer was less than a 100% deposit bonus/offer the maximum bet is either 10, or 10% of the deposit bonus/offer amount (the lower of the two amounts apply) 6.2. If your deposit bonus/offer is 100% or more the maximum bet is 5, or 10% of the deposit bonus/offer amount (the lower of the two amounts apply) 6.3.If you received a free bonus (no deposit bonus/refer a friend bonus/registration bonus/winnings from free spins etc) the maximum bet is 5 or 10% of the free bonus amount (the lower of the two amounts apply) Thumbs Down - These rules are made with a single purpose - to make it almost impossible to wager successfully your bonus. Unfair and tricky, proceed with extra caution! 12. Unless stated otherwise if the last bonus received by a player was a free bonus, a deposit needs to be made first before the player is eligible to use any further free bonuses, even if it was marketed to the player. Any breach of this term can result in blocking from future bonuses and/or removing any winnings that might have been the result of the use of any free bonus. Thumbs Down - Yet another tricky bonus rule which could play a bad joke. 13. If you receive free money (no deposit bonus/refer a friend bonus/registration bonus etc’) or free spins winnings, unless stated otherwise the maximum amount that you can win or withdraw from it is €100 or two times the bonus amount. The larger amount of the two will be applied. Any winnings greater than the applied amount, including winnings subsequently won from with that money even after any deposit, will be removed from your account. In addition, no winnings accrued in connection with any Free Bonus may be withdrawn until the wagering requirements have been met. Thumbs Up - I like this one. Many players would skip playing smart pants if such rule is being implemented and explained so well by more online casinos. 14. A bonus (including the bonus credited from a free spin bonus) is also considered free if your real money balance at the time you were credited the bonus is lower than your most recent deposit. Thumbs Down - Now, why this one? 24. … *Games produced by Net Entertainment Ltd, Edict, Microgaming and Williams Interactive Ltd will count 75% towards the wagering requirement. Thumbs Down - Not willing to become a fortune teller, but somehow this term makes me believe that the casino will lose lots of potential customers. 30. In the case that bonus money is wagered and lost, but not all wager requirements were met, the next deposit made to your account, providing you don't have any open games, will automatically reset the bonus as Consumed and it will not be necessary to complete the remaining wager requirements. If you want to continue your game session and make sure that your bonus gets Consumed, please contact support after your deposit. Any abuse of this in order to avoid completing bonus wagering will result in all winnings being removed, and your deposit potentially being confiscated. Thumbs Up - Sounds fair enough. 35. ….In addition to this, the following are considered irregular playing patterns: ….35.4. Making large bets leading to a substantial gain followed by a drop in bet size equal to or greater than 75% of the previous average bet size in order to complete the wagering requirements for that bonus. Thumbs Down - Unfair and tricky term, makes any normal player a potential victim of bonus and winnings confiscation!

Used to play the same game as a 'starter' earlier this year with rather decent wins and success to be honest. Then everything changed and I started losing 9 of 10 times when Twin Spin was at the beginning of my session. If you check the winner screenshots thread you will notice that I posted close to 40 amazing wins in less than 4-5 months, but now... Now I can't hit anything decent with this game, lost a fortune trying on bigger bets and right now, Twin Spin has been placed in my gambling 'freezer'.

Wish I could share my own experience with this new game, but recently I changed completely my approach to new slot releases. Instead of wasting time trying and losing money, I'm just waiting to see of any decent winner screenshots will ever appear in the forum. If yes, then the games definitely deserves Guru's attention. If not, well if not, then I saved my time for more important things to do I guess.

Oh man, how much I wish I could play Playtech again... Then, I could give you a hard time with all your insane Playtech winner screenshots.

R - Robin Hood..

Have already tried that... It was even worse, however in the name of the truth must admit I made significantly smaller amount of spins than with the desktop version. Anyways, this game is now in my "No, Thank You" game category and it will definitely stay there until someone post here a decent 200+ x bet feature.
