To add salt to the wound, streamers are actually doing a huge favour for the casino that they are playing at. Players may think it's a good casino to play at, but not knowing that those streamers do not play on the same ground as normal players...streamers have an unfair advantage, in one way or another! They make everyone think that such huge wins are indeed possible, but when playing with real money, it'd only go the opposite way! I really hate watching those streamers, especially how they are disillusioning other players!

Video game loot boxes - Gambling or not?
Afi4wins replied to catapultaudio's topic in Casinos General
If it's a soccer game, too bad, I'm not into soccer games, although I have played such games before on Play Station and desktop. -
Video game loot boxes - Gambling or not?
Afi4wins replied to catapultaudio's topic in Casinos General
If a game requires real money to play it (for purchases), then real money must be paid for selling it, then it becomes fair. I have heard that some games do allow players to sell what they have for real money gains, so that is okay, but when a strategy game requires real money just to proceed into the game, then that's pure ROBBERY! -

Video game loot boxes - Gambling or not?
Afi4wins replied to catapultaudio's topic in Casinos General
Just the other day, I downloaded an online game (free software) and started playing it. A few minutes later, I was required to buy 'gems' in order to proceed further into the game. Non-purchase puts the game into hang mode, so I simply quit the game and completely uninstalled it. Free games are needing players to buy things with real money just to continue on playing??? Absolutely rubbish!!! These types of games should be BANNED!!! -
Just goes to show that the best games to play nowadays are STILL THE OLDIE GAMES! Simply because they have very good to excellent paytables which cannot be changed, although the wins are being controlled and manipulated by new programs.

I'm with you on this one RazorX mate! I too have been saying lots of times here in this forum on how slots have changed from their old flash versions, into the HTML5 versions, and now, into AI-controlled versions! Proof? Take my few favourite games from Playtech as a good example. I have been playing these same few games even BEFORE the internet was born! Have done millions of spins on each of them, and I have experienced all the variances of how each game would and could play. This year, in 2020, the same games are showing even more variances in their gameplay, so much so that getting wins of over 500x is becoming so rare! The feature games (free spins) are taking more than double the amount of spins required, but more importantly, are paying in SMALLER WINS!!! I have reached a point now that I am slowly but surely decreasing my plays on my few favourite games, intending to quit playing them very soon. They are simply not worth playing any more! The RTPs have not changed...they are still having the same RTPs as before, but they certainly are giving out many more dead spins and decreasing the regularities of their feature games! My favourite Supe It Up and Isis game (Microgaming) too have just been updated and no longer have selective playlines as before...both now have fixed 25 playlines....and with that, I now have lost interest in playing them. I'm still playing my few Playtech games simply because I can still choose the number of playlines. When this disappears, if and when it does, then I would quit playing them as well! I don't really know when I would stop completely playing my few favourite games, but the COUNTDOWN has already started!

[EDITED:] Problem with Nomini Casino
Afi4wins replied to marianmarian's topic in Online Slot Discussions
I had the very same problem at Cadoola Casino about 3 or 4 years ago...they accused me of having a duplicate account (it was a newly launched casino at that point in time) and I was 100% sure that they were using false accusations. I then used AGCCS and got my winnings paid to me after about 1 month. After that, I started closing all my accounts at Araxio casinos! Have avoided all Araxio casinos since then. NEVER NEVER take the words of streamers!!! -

Very simple my dear...hold ID in one hand, hold camera/phone in another hand, and hold laptop in one more hand! The problem is...we can either have two hands or have four legs!!! (Pssst...the laptop screen is supposed to be seen in the background, on a table of course...but we all know that, hahaha) -

Which casino was that at mate? Was it also at iLUCKI Casino? -
Hi Emcphee, and welcome to the forum. Firstly, casinos are run and managed for maximum profit, meaning, they do not employ tons of employees to check out every financial aspect of the operations - staffing is always at minimal and only for the absolute essentials. Secondly, casinos exist purely to make money from their customers, and regulations require that every new customer must go through a KYC process, either before making any deposit, or when the customer makes a withdrawal. Only when necessary, such as in a huge withdrawal claim, then a deeper scrutinisation of the customer's account would be made. A customer may make only small deposits years before, then suddenly make big deposits recently, without triggering any sort of alarm to the casino management. High rollers are known to make huge deposits at a time. In your case, it may simply look to them like you can afford bigger deposits nowadays than before. This is not uncommon. Thirdly, problem gamblers have a choice to activate preventive/curbing measures in their accounts, either by limiting their daily/weekly/monthly deposits amount, or by activating the 'cooling off' period, or by activating the self-exclusion clause. This responsibility is the onus of the gambler in the first instance. The casino would usually step in to help when assistance has been requested. As I have said earlier, most casinos do not have specific staff looking into this aspect of their customers. With each casino having hundreds of thousands of customers, it is quite impossible for them to keep proper tracking of each and every customer. A 100,000 GBP total deposited amount in a week may not even trigger a look-out alarm to most casinos! If you need help, get assistance from the casino's Live Chat service, or activate one of the preventive measures yourself. Hope this helps.

Thanks mate, really appreciate this!

That's great! For a start, can you pass me the link to download the remastered C&C edition please? If its Tiberian Sun or Dune, I've already tried them but don't like them. I don't like games using robotic armies, preferring the standard human version, if you know what I mean.
-
Thanks mate, kind of you to help out. Well, I have tried out some other C&C games, plus a few other RTS games, but none were to my liking, not as much as Red Alert. C&C Generals, and Yuri's Revenge are also my favourites, have played them using cds before (Windows 95 version), and these games need those cds to be installed in order to be played again. Purchasing them online would be the solution, but I'm not keen on that option at the moment. Anyway, if you have any good RTS game to suggest, I may give them a try, but must be freeware, hehehe.

My choice of strategy games is very limited I'm afraid. Really want to play Command & Conquer games but the ones that are free aren't to my liking...so I let them zombies eat my brains once in a while!

Thank you my dear. It's been almost 7 years since we first became friends...now you're like a virtual sister to me! Wish I could have a lovely day on my special day, but unseen danger is keeping all the fun away...sigh! -
Hahaha...no more red alert is almost like no more slot games! No, my dear, I'm still playing it every day and night, trying out new strategies, and keeping me away from slots as much as possible. When I'm bored, I would play Plants vs Zombies for a change (another madly addictive game).

Thank you Niran bro...really appreciate this! -
That's one 'cobra' saved from possible extinction!!! (Note: it's supposed to read without the word casino...auto glitch!)

The original uses potato...the other uses tapioca, or some other substitute...but both are chips! Same with Direx and Dama.
