here's some comments about the situation in SA:
As an South African, I can tell you that the story is being minimalised. The riots and looting did /not/ limit itself to impoverished communities, the arson was equally as wide spread and these weren't 'alleged' actions since there's video proof of these crimes. The main instigators of the riots were two of Jacob Zuma's children - with one congratulating the looters on their actions and telling them to do so 'responsibly'. Ultimately, this was done by opportunistic individuals that realized they could get away with it since the President and his Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, wasn't doing anything to stop it. In fact Cele delayed the deployment of the military until now citing the main reason as the military 'not being able to handle situations like this'. It got so bad that even a few police officers got in on the looting using police vehicles

The police joining in on the looting doesn't surprise me our country is so corrupt and f****d

Africa do Sul é canario da mina !! = South Africa is mine canary !!
---
Portugal and the rest of Europe have a similar or worse future than South Africa if they do not start taking the necessary measures.
---
At the apex of its "ebil wahcist power" the old South Africa used to export at a discount, extra food, and extra water to all the countries around it. Those allegedly evil men elevated everyone who lived with and near them, but that time is no more.

South Africa is extremely inhospitable. Its very difficult to farm there, its very difficult to find pure water there. When the Boers migrated there it was nearly empty, when they encountered wandering tribes of Zulus whom were also migrating into the area at the same time, it was fairly easy to come to peace accords with them. There is no competition over land that is not good for grazing, among tribals from cow cultures ext. 100 percent of the value of the land in south Africa came from Europeans painstakingly perfecting crop rotation strategies, painstakingly creating fertilization routines, painstakingly creating water irrigation systems. All the techniques needed to grow temperate crops in semi arid conditions. These routines cannot be created or maintained by low IQ tribals. AE: After seven decades of trying to teach them how in a post colonial world, there are to this day and substantially more than a trillion dollars wasted later, zero success stories. No matter what anybody says, when the one group of humans who are capable of maintaining this eco system are encouraged to leave (IE: genocided out of existence) the infrastructure that only they know how to create and maintain goes with them.
The reality is that colonial Nubians having migrated down from the north, are destroying their only opportunity to live a good life in a good country that they have no real claim to (no more so than the Boers) Soon it will be as it was four hundred years ago, an empty burnt out husk, with a population of one extended family every 70 square miles. The land will once again be free to whoever chooses to settle there and fertilize it. Hopefully the next generation of settlers will be a little more picky and choosy about who they allow to follow them and who they allow to stalk their way into another peoples paradise. As it is, the rainbow theory of modern society will die in Johannesburg.

The police were also looting. A citizens arrest was even made when they found a policeman load is car with stuff he looted and only 2 policemen were officially arrested when they unloaded looted goods from their police vehicle into their home. There are also numerous videos of them in uniform loading police vehicles with stolen goods.
Our police force has been a dumpster fire for a long time and I don't see it getting better in the near foreseeable future.

look at history... the Zulu often moved south to pillage and enslave anyone living south of their locations. Why do you think the land was empty and undeveloped when the Dutch colonized it? Because Zulu armies pillaged and ransacked the land every X years. This is the same just modern version.

I'm so hungry I could steal a TV - South African Proverb

I'm in the province of where it all started.
It started with roads blocked,  then burning debris on roads, then trucks burnt.
Stores were looted,  malls were looted and burnt.
They stole ambulance vehicles, they were stoning as well.
It is currently in 2 provinces .
Also civilians were arming themselves and protecting their areas and communities.
Police were outnumbered too.
Food is now short in stores. Shelves are empty and long lines of people waiting to enter the shops and by loads of food.
Also fuel is now short too. They also burnt and stole from warehouses keeping food.
Also the Indians were accused of racism.
---
the news got it wrong with the number of troops deployed.
Largest deployment was last year 76000 troops deployed, in the first wave of the bug, to enforce lockdown rules.
2500 troops deployed to deal with the riots.
---
This will only escalate issues. The military is made up of same groups of people that are rioting and looting. There are deep, old, tribal rifts most fail to understand.
---
Wasn't the initial purpose of the apartheid laws to keep the various tribes the f**k away from each other because they were going to war so often that it was destabilizing the country?
---
this is sort of an omen. It's what happens when the government pits races and classes against each other. long time coming for SA
---
These looters have been attacking whites, mixed race, Indians, Pakistani, Nigerian, Mozambican,  etc for years. There were protests against South Africa in Nigeria, Zambia, Kenya in 2019. Anyone who is not considered a native was a target. Despite the curious fact that the zulus are not even from the region.
This is what scapegoating and identity politics leads to.

Thank you so much Guru-san, for all your nice words.
I guess some people just cannot grasp my true intentions of my posts and statements, of informing others about certain things and matters, so that others may know or learn.
Of course everyone has their own opinions and may not agree with mine, but that's fine with me, it's all expected, as long as mutual respect and a friendly atmosphere is maintained at all times. 😉

@Blackjax, @Afi4wins, 
Have just seen your little forum quarrel here and must admit it doesn't make me feel happy.  
You see @Blackjax, Afi is someone who's been with us for ages and proved himself as a real forum hero, contributing immensely so far, helping dozens and dozens of new forum members and players, sharing his gigantic gambling experience in a unobtrusive, I'd say even kinda educational manner, etc etc. I personally had some disagreements with some of his theories during the years and we had a mile long discussions here but hey, that's perfectly fine. What's definitely NOT okay thou is to cross the line of good manners and become verbally aggressive towards such a respected member of our forum community. Have no idea what was the cause of this sudden burst of  this harsh tone of voice you used against him, but please, make sure this is the first and last time you are doing that in the forum. Let's respect each other and keep the friendly tone of voice and atmosphere here cause we worked sooooooo hard about it! 
Thank you! 

Hey Guys
Things are bad in South Africa at the moment. Protest which initially started due to the ex president being jailed now escalated to another level with Covid being extended in hard lock down, due to high numbers in South Africa.
I dont think this has to do with President jailed anymore, this protest is more in terms of Desperation, Job Losses, Poverty etc!
Shopping centers and malls are closing not sure till when, but I just finished buying groceries so I dont need to leave the house for the next few days!
I just googled about it, but you can read different articles and videos. I have some violent and sensitive ones I received.

After handling these contests for so many years, it's so weird seeing that particular post coming from someone else instead of me... 
Seriously, let me use the occasion and to wish once again our beloved Sharon good luck with taking over the AG Paid Contests management! And hey, don't forget I'm always a PM away.   

Hi folks
Just wanted to give you a quick update re upcoming contest summaries. These will be done by Sharon who's taking over the AG Paid Contests management effective from June onwards. I will keep monitoring and helping her with the contests of course, but from now on Sharon will be your primary contact for any contest related matters. 
Sincerely hope you all will continue to play by the rules, otherwise, you risk facing Sharon's wrath! And she is far more ferocious than me once you get her off her comfort zone, I'm telling ya! 

Just realized I missed the part with bragging with this beauty here! 😮 

Took  me 'only' less than 1500 spins and several features to hit my first ever 1000x on Coils Of Cash!  

I was away at the weekend but my partner sent me this little cracker .. 
 

Oh yeah, hitting the feature could be a b****, definitely! 

Yeah, definitely! Few decent 500x and higher wins so far and almost 2K profit from let's say, no more than 10K spins.  

Exactly Afi, I remember getting a wildline and being shocked it didn't pay even 50x bet. It's bizarre how low the payouts are for this game.

I bet most players who have played that Gordon Ramsay's game did not bother to look at the paytable first! Do you know that the Wilds do not pay anything, not even multiplying the wins, but the most ridiculous thing is that the top paying symbol, that pinkish meat within the bread, only pays 5x for a 5oak win!!! For a 20 lines game, that is so stupidly low!!!
The only ways to get wins of over 100x is in the Team Challenge 10 free spins, but only during its good mood when lots of multipliers and HK Wild symbols come into play. Most other times, you'd be getting less than 50x wins.
I've given this stupid game enough spins already to know its behaviour and payout patterns and I won't play it again, unless I go crazy just to see those flying knives and pans being thrown on the screen and dishing out stupidly low wins! 

Ouch, not surprised you never got back to IDS slots then.  
On the flip side, I have been quite lucky with them, especially a few months ago when I hit a few beauties like this one in a row... 

What I hate about Iron Dog Studio slots thou is their technical unreliability which is at ridiculously low level, meaning you cannot have a decent session of let's say 500+ spins without some error popping up out of the blue and throwing your whole feature chasing into the... you know where...  Maybe it's not their fault but Quickfire's but who cares.   

Hmm, will certainly give it a go. Thanks @blondie 

Have you tried Wild Flower from BTG? I have had a couple wins in excess of 500x bet (on minimum stake though) but that one seems to have decent potential. Very volatile though.

Yeah that's why I'm not a fan of that particular gamble feature because even with 80% "vote" it can be a loss. 

Today, I made my 2nd deposit at Highweb's WinnerzOn, claimed its 'deposit $10 play with $50' as usual, completed the wagering, and now waiting for my account to be verified and to receive payment. Woo-hoooo! That's the 6th Highweb casino that I have won at, and it took only 2 deposits, same as at BetsPalace!
ROCK ON WINNERZON CASINO!!! 
Here's the winning screenshot that made my final win possible...a 1000x win...and as you can see from my balance, I was on the brink of a bust!
 

Unibet already have a license in Pennsylvania & New Jersey, now I feel this is just the start of good things to come for many states!

I definitely agree with you, I'm very interested to see what will happen with US market, which casinos will be applying for licenses and what kind of games will be popular. On the topic though, I think Nolimit City, Push Gaming and Relax Gaming will be the ones that will continuously stand out.

Welcome back Blondie! We've missed you. 

Could be an unpopular opinion, but I quite enjoy the Dazzle Me Megaways version. But then again, I've had a few 100x bet wins on minimum stake, nothing much more. I definitely think it's not a game that can produce huge wins unless you're extremely lucky. But for a lowrolling session with minimum stakes it's quite nice to look at.

Oh wow, congratulations on your win, it's beyond amazing! Just stay patient and enjoy your winnings and spend them on something nice

Hi, everybody.
I recently won in the "Gonzo's Quest MEGAWAYS" slot at the casino "4kingslots".
Stake 4 euros
Win 67963 euros (16990x)
One of my biggest winnings🙂.
However, the withdrawal limit in this casino is small, only 500 euros per day (for a bitcoin wallet). It will take several months to get the full amount🙁

Mind boggles as to why people do this - personally, think you'll be lucky to see a cent from this. Especially at 18k Euro. 
Presumably they operate back to deposit method so even if they pay out it goes back to his card? Then you're relying in them passing over any money to you - if they don't want to? Well, tough. Unless you fancy arguing gentleman's agreement etc in a court. 
 

Well unless you can verify their details by providing the relevant documentation, I am afraid there is nothing you can do.
You should be glad they willing to verify an external part details you used to fund the account, normally casinos would not tolerate this. They very strict, only gamble with an account in your name and that the account holder is you! That is normally the terms of the casino.
Wait for others to give their 2 cents, maybe something has changed that I might not know of.
