Hi ShadowFyre87, welcome to the forum. Every individual have differing levels of luck...a very few are lucky, mostly are about average, some are simply unlucky. Don't know the reasons why, but that's how gambling works on us. Take one game, any game, as an example. A few players would manage to get nice big wins from it regularly, most other players would get some wins but more losses, but some would play and play and play and keep on losing. Now, looking into your case, I assume that you are not a heavy gambler, plays with minimal bets, but is probably quite new to slot games too. I'm a veteran gambler, and I can say to you that it may take between 20 - 40 deposits before you can even make one winning withdrawal! It all depends on your luck, the games that you play, and even at which casino you play at. Strangely enough once again, one casino may be unlucky for you, but another one might be better...but finding this better casinos can be a long and winded road...taking years of playing, losing, and gaining experiences. As a comparison, after playing over 20 years, at many hundreds of casinos, on many different kinds of games, I'm now playing at only 1 casino regularly, which to me is my lucky casino, but I'm still losing money on and off! And that's how real gambling life is! Never mind reading or seeing another player winning huge amounts of money on a game...mostly are streamers, working for casinos, showing off huge wins to attract new players, and they get paid for it. Ignorant players would get fooled and follow these streamers...don't ever be one!

16th is fine with me.

OMG! Must be the Omicron variant...it's been so rampant in my country too, with over 23,000 infected daily last week, but is stabilising now. Hope no one else in the family gets infected...and hope you get well real soon!

@cocopop3011 The next screenshot contest is supposed to start on 14th March 2022...since my time zone is 8 hours ahead, can I assume that I can start collecting my screenshots on 14th March (00:01 +8 GMT), but will only start posting the screenshots once the contest has been officially started by you? Been waiting for it to start...

Guru's birthday? OMG! I didn't know that! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GURU-SAN! May the years make you happier but not too younger (lest it'll make you naughtier)!

Excellent incentives for members to nominate/vote the casino...200 free spins in total is something worth looking into...but my country is restricted unfortunately.

Getting 21 points is what the name Blackjack means, either getting it by a few numbers, or by getting a picture and an Ace card. Getting 21 points makes your bet secure...it may break even with the dealer, but it gives you a win in every other case. That's the main object of the game. But as you know, whenever you're playing against a dealer, against another player, or against a group of other players, the main object of the game changes...the main thing is to beat your opponent in the best possible ways, and not necessarily aiming for that 21 points!

One search engine would not be any different from the other one, or another one...nothing is absolutely truthful or honest in the internet realm.

Hi there Todd...so, are you saying that you are attracted to such megaways games because they look cool, regardless they play well or not?

Thank you @cocopop3011 and thank you Askgamblers.

My 8th and final Entry: https://www.askgamblers.com/forum/topic/13052-casino-rules-for-players/

Do you know that before you can enter any land-based casino, there are certain rules that attendees and players must adhere to? One of these rules require attendees to be properly attired, formally or informally, but must be decently dressed. There are many other rules, but I'm not one who remembers all or any of them, cos I don't play at land-based casinos anymore. However, there's one rule for players that catches my attention every time, and this ruling probably came into effect after one incident at a casino...don't know which casino, don't know when it happened though...don't even know if it was a true incident! Hahaha. A lady gambler walked up to the craps table, suddenly got undress until she was fully naked, placed her bet, then threw the dice. Within the next few seconds, she was jumping up and down in sheer excitement, shouting out "I WON! I WON!" One male croupier asked the other, "what did she won?" He answered "I don't know, I thought YOU were watching the table". Obviously, the two male croupiers were watching alright, but NOT at the craps table! Then came a new ruling that players are PROHIBITED from being naked when playing their games! Hahaha. Do you have any other interesting stories about gambling incidents?

Why do game providers keep coming up with new and various ways to play their slot games? Is it because they want to keep their customers happy and keep playing their games? Or is it all just a clever marketing strategic to reap in as much players money as quickly as possible? The answer? To reap in players money as quickly as possible! If you're one of those who don't think this is the correct answer, then oh boy, all I can say is that you are one NAIVE player! Bonus Buys are the quickest way to lose money...from 100x to over 2000x at a time. Instead of losing $1 per spin, Bonus Buys make you lose up to $60 with each buy. Rich players don't care if they lose $1200 or more per $2000 Bonus Buy, cos they don't know how to value money, and they just wanna have fun! In time, they will learn their painful lessons!

My 7th Entry: https://www.askgamblers.com/forum/topic/13048-why-are-so-many-players-attracted-to-megawaysxwaysallways-games/

It has always been a big baffling question to me ever since Megaways games started appearing at casinos...why are so many players attracted to such games? Bonanza, by Big Time Gaming, was probably the biggest promoter for Megaways games. Almost everybody who played it soon became addicted to it. Some even began hearing the Bonanza tune playing endlessly in their heads, day in and day out, hahaha. Not me of course. The first thing that I had looked into back then was its paytable...and I was literally shocked by the rock bottom win values of all the symbols! Wilds don't pay, Scatters don't pay, and even the top symbols would pay so blardy damn low, making me wonder how the heck such a game would ever attract players to play it. But as you all know, how wrong my thinking was, or turned out to be! Players literally flocked to play the game, for many hours a day, for many days and nights, and I just couldn't believe it! Many said it was because the game offers a thrilling thousands and thousands ways to win...117649 ways to be exact...so in other words, getting a win in the game would be SO EASY! However, they don't realised that getting the top symbol 5-of-a-kind win would not even pay 5x the bet amount! I could get anything from a 200x up to 600x win from a good 5-reels 3-rows game, so what the heck is 5x?! In one of my trial play sessions, Bonanza when over 1600 spins without even giving me a free spins feature game. Again, I was shocked! My best Playtech games hardly ever go more than 1200 spins before triggering a feature game, but on Bonanza, some players had even cited going over 2000 spins just to get a low-paying feature game! I have never liked any Megaways games and I will not play any of them either, except if I needed to write a game review on it. Nowadays, more variants have become available, in the form of X-Ways, All-Ways, Power-Ways, and what-have yous, but I will never be interested. If you're a fanatic of such games, what made you stick to it, or become addicted to it? Has anything changed your mind now, or are you STILL blasting away on the same games?

What a ridiculous statement, or even a supposition, to make! If Russia ever invaded the UK, they would be facing tremendous other SERIOUS matters...like almost the entire world coming after them! What is banning online gambling? It's not even the smallest matter for any concern!

Is online gambling banned in Russia???!!!

From your listed 5 games bro, I only liked playing Adventure Palace and Spring Break. What I liked best though was Break Da Bank Again, the old Flash version, not the HTML5 one, which sucks! Then I also quite liked playing Ladies Nite, but Thunderstruck never really caught my interest somehow. Nowadays, MG is out of my playing list. The games minimum starting bet has become way out of reach for my tiny budget (at my regular Asian casino) and I almost don't play at European casinos nowadays either.

My 6th Entry: https://www.askgamblers.com/forum/topic/13044-do-you-have-lots-of-casino-accounts/

It's a very simple and basic question...do you have lots of casino accounts? The answer is either a "yes" or a "no". Up to about 9 years or so ago, I was a fervent bonus hunter, searching and taking up any good bonus or free spins offers, regardless of which casino it was, who the casino owner was, or who operated it. I've had accounts at several hundreds of various online casinos, mostly dedicated ones by Playtech, Microgaming, Real Time Gaming, Rival, Top Game, Skill-On-Net, Saucify, and including a few NetEnt ones. Then one day, I came to realise how ridiculous the whole situation had become...having casino accounts everywhere...couldn't keep proper track of them...email inbox literally flooded with casino promos everyday...etc, etc, etc. That's when the time came when I decided on doing an overall Spring Cleaning of my closet, my home, whatever. Over a slow duration of many months, I had closed most of my existing casino accounts...one at a time, a few each day...but keeping back a few of the better casinos. Even that, the number was about 100 or so, which I finally reduced to just over 20+ now. That's STILL a lot of casino accounts, but I intend to gradually, and most probably, keep the number to 10 or less. My closets are neat and tidy now, my home in proper order, and my mailbox no longer flooded with nonsense emails. My mind and soul is finally at peace! Hahaha. Do you still have lots of existing accounts everywhere, with new accounts piling up each week due to your bonus hunting habits? If so, what do you intend on doing next? Some may just make don't know and keep on going as usual, but some may realise the situation it is becoming into and take appropriate actions, as I did. Which one is you?

Slot dreams? Oh yeah...yeah...I'd be lying if I said I don't ever get slot dreams...but strangely enough, my dreams seem to be mostly on just one slot...DOLPHIN REEF! I'd dream I'd be playing that game, as I do in real life, but the dream would always end with me getting 5 Nemo fishes on a winning line, either in a base game or in the free spins game...then I would suddenly wake up and go "oh shiiiit!"

Glad to know that there's someone else who hates megaways game. You didn't really say you hate the game but I assume you do, hahaha.

If the 30 free spins do not guarantee a win on every spin, then that game falls into the normal free spins category. Yes, I'm aware of the game Blinged by PlaynGo, but is not a favourite of mine unfortunately. Have played it several times, none gave me any good win, and it plays with fixed lines too, unlike Pimped and Holiday Season, whereby I can play with just 1, 2 or 3 lines per spin, yet each free spin would still pay a win, even if only playing with 1 line!
