The hot/cold numbers provided usually mean, that the numbers have been coming up a lot lately (or not at all for the cold ones). It doesn't mean that there is a higher chance of any of these numbers coming up again (or a lower chance for that matter). It simply just indicate, that some numbers have shown up more than normally expected (given the odds) lately and some haven't. If the roulette is the classic version (one zero and 36 numbers) there is a 1 in 37 chance that any given number will come up on the next spin. If a number have been hit for instance 5 times over the last 50 spins, that is more than the odds dictate that it should. Hence, the number can be deemed as being "hot" at the moment. Over a large sample (let's say 1.000.000.000 spins to exaggerate) each number will come up with a 2,703% (rounded up a bit) hit rate. And yes, even with such a large sample the best number might have a 2,704% hit rate and the lowest might have a 2,702% hit rate but it will be extremely close to the "natural odds". But if you look at things over only 50 or 100 spins, some numbers might hit 5 or even 10 times during this period. Way more than the odds dictate. If you talk to live casino dealers, almost all of them can tell crazy stories of a time where they witnessed the same number hitting 7 times in a row or where red came up 20 spins in a row or something like that. These "weird" anomalies are expected to happen from time to time. So in the case of the hot and cold numbers, what the casino does is show, that over the last X amount of spins, some numbers have been hit way more than they should odds wise (HOT), and some haven't (COLD). This separate people into two groups: One group will assume that the hot streak continues and bet the numbers again. Some people assume that "it must be the cold numbers turn to get some love" and bet the cold numbers. You can often see this effect at live casinos (where they have a screen showing the results of the last 15-20 spins). When the same colour hits many times in a row, players will often come running over from other tables to bet either the same colour or the opposite colour. However, at the end of the day, it doesn't change the odds of any given number coming up on the next spin.

Hi Johnny, I am very sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience. If you write me a PM with the details I will be very happy to take a look at the issue you have had. If you have the communication from our support at hand, I would very much like to get this as well (or information on your username so that I can look it up)

It definitely could be. We are in a period of rapid development in the way casino's get and handle information related to the playing activity and further improvements in this area could warrant a system like the one we are talking about here. I have learned long ago not to speculate where tech is going in this industry. But I will say, that it is only gonna get better. We have seen improvements over the last many years and there is more to come.

I think pornhub has always been free (for the visitors). They have an obscene amount of visitors on a daily basis and they probably sell their advertising space on a CPM basis meaning that you pay a given fee per 1.000 showings of your ad. Given that I heard a while back that they are the largest of their kind in that industry, I do believe that they are making more money now than ever before and it is for sure millions every year. How much precisely I don't know but it is probably possible to find out. I don't think they are doing this to "get something back". I think they are peaking at the moment earnings wise and are simply looking for ways to expand their business within their industry and felt (like so many before) that gaming might be a good choice since gaming and nude women should go great together in theory. The problem is that if history have showed us anything, that is really not the case. Maybe at live casinos (Vegas does apply a certain amount of eye candy for players with success) but online it has usually been a flop. It will be interesting to see if they manage to succeed with this but I doubt it. As mentioned before, I think they will be successful in the sense that they will be making money on it. They are simply to huge traffic wise not to create some players and make some money. But I also believe they probably would have done better going with another angle within their field of expertise (maybe selling ***** toys, outfits or something like that).

I understand your point but it is not that simple. The reason is that while rules are something the operator controls, your spins actually take place on the server of the gaming service provider. For instance, most GSP's don't even know if you are playing with bonus money or not. They simply get "told" by the casino how much you have available to play with and that is what you will have visible in the game. The GSP doesn't necessarily know the rules of the casino and hence, having the GSP block certain limits is not as easy as it might seem. But don't get me wrong - this is probably doable. It is just not as simple. Especially not if you have 10 different GSP's that all need to be set up to deal with the rules.

Yes, I don't know precisely how much they make but we are definitely talking about a truckload of earnings from their regular marketing space. But most companies wants to grow and being the largest "free adult streaming service" probably doesn't leave much room for growth. Furthermore, I wouldn't fault them if they were a bit nervous about the development in their industry and would like to create other products on the side, that they can profit from. From that perspective, I can understand why they are branching out but I just don't think the gaming industry is necessary a good fit for them.

This is one of the reasons why I pretty much always advice players not to be "bonus hunters" shifting from casino to casino to get new first time deposit bonuses. If you are play at one casino that you like, the good ones will notice this loyalty and reward you throu through their regular promotional programs. Furthermore, loyal players do not get mistaken for bonus hunters and/or bonus abusers, which often leads the casino to be nice to you like for instance in the situation you mention here.

It has been tried ohhhh so many times. I specifically remember a poker room back in the days (I think it was called Swank Poker) that really pushed the boundaries to the next level. Poker players would earn the usual comp points while playing but they could be used in pretty extreme ways. Prostitution, ***** site subscriptions, strip club vouchers and god know what. The promotion that was the craziest was probably their "make your own ***** movie" promotion. Players could be the star of their own movie and I think they wanted to publish it on their website. I clearly remember the "you can wear a mask if you want to" bit... You know, just to keep things classy But while it is funny to laugh a bit about these projects, one should really be careful if considering this from a business point of view. Back in the days the gambling scene was still mostly dominated by the male audience (this has changed A LOT over the last 5-10 years) and a lot of people felt that the typical male activities would bundle great with a gambling product. Football........ Motorcycles....... Babes....... Gambling...... etc.. These things must be complimentary and coupling them together should create a lot of pull with the target audience, right? Well, no... While sports and gambling can be somewhat OK for casinos the gambling/girls angle has never really worked to my knowledge. I have seen at least 10 projects with this angle launching within my time in the industry. And basically all of them have closed down again. Even Playboy, which is probably the most mainstream brand in that industry, is not really living up to its potential in my opinion. It is my take that most other medias with that kind of following and brand would have fared better than Playboy has with a gambling product. I think PornHub is so massively big when it comes to webtraffic, that they will succeed no matter what. The question is if they would have done better focusing on something else as a side-business? I believe the answer is yes. Girls (as the centerpiece of the brand) and gambling just doesn't work that well together.

As mentioned these rules are in place for a reason. Large bets leads to potential advantages to the player (RTP over 100%) and this leads to abuse groups hitting the casinos hard. I do however believe that casino's should be large when it comes to these things. If you are a new customer, most casinos will follow their rules very in a very strict manner (since a lot of abuse comes from the first dep bonus) but if you are an old client, lots of deposits (with and without bonuses attached) and we are talking about just a couple of spins, the casino should side with the player. I had a situation the other day where a player immediately wrote the live chat and told us, that she accidentally pressed the "max bet" button and asked if it was OK. Of course it was and she kept playing and got paid. So it is my philosophy that while these rules become increasingly tricky in order to safe guard the casinos, they should also adhere to a practice of fairness. Unfortunately, that practice if far from commonplace.

Hi Per, We have looked over your case and agreed to grant you the bonus back. There is a few reasons why we have chosen to do this (that I won't write here since I don't want people to speculate in this) but let's just say that you were a bit "lucky" related to your history with us in terms of your play so that this was possible. As mentioned before we try to operate under an element of "fairness" so when a player history warrant it we will always honor the winnings of a player if the player suffered a problem related to our rules. Fortunately this was a possibility in your case. Please remember in the future to look into the bonus rules. For Anna Casino you are always safe under €5 (or currency equivalent) and. Also, if you ever encounter a problem like this again (on any casino) then remember to contact the casino before you continue playing. I know that this can be very annoying if you have a good session going on a hot slot and you can't get a hold of a support rep straight away. Held og lykke med spillet Kind regards, Mike

Hi Per, I will take a look at your case. Please be adviced that it was indeed an overplaying in stakes that caused the situation. Let me explain from the ground up why we have the rules that we do. First of all, the max bet protection is unfortunately needed. The online casino industry is regularly hit by abusers trying to get an advantage. If you can play with stakes that are to high, you can gain an advantage over the casino (theoretical RTP over 100%) and this makes the max-bet rule a necessary evil. We have set up our system to automatically confiscate the bonus (and bonus winnings) if this rule is broken since it is simply impossible to manually go over all bonus money bets. I know the function is horrible and that regular players with no bad intentions are sometimes hit by it but we try to be extremely fair in our evaluation on whether or not to give the bonus money back. Basically, you can expect us to refund your bonus money, if we can see that a player is a regular player and not an abuser. That requires quite a bit however that I won't go into details about here. I spoke quickly to the supporter handling this case and was told that they initially had declined your request for a refund of the bonus. The reasoning behind this is, that you kept playing right after the bonus money went away. Let me explain why this is a problem since you are here hitting another very normal way of abusing bonuses. Casinos in general have a lot of players that come into the casino, deposit money with no bonus and play. If they win, they simply do a withdrawal (since they have no turnover requirement) and they are happy. If they lose, they write the support complaining that they didn't get their deposit bonus. If they are then granted the deposit bonus they manage to get an advantage (since they had a free shot at winning without turnover requirements and then afterwards get another shot with their bonus money). So, in order to get a bonus credited, if something went wrong while trying to get the bonus, a player must always do this BEFORE the playing starts. If that is done, we will credit the bonus manually with no questions asked (if the player is eligible for the bonus of course). Because you played with your remaining funds before the support came back to you, their standard response will always be that we can't re-credit the bonus. Even if they deem you to be a regular player that we would normally re-credit the bonus to. Now, all I have mentioned in this thread is our standard procedures but we work on an element of fairness. We want to be fair when these cases arise. I will take a look at the case and situation and get back to you. Kind regards, Mike

Well, here is the low down in my opinion on the purposely vague concepts that is casino T&C's. First of all, 90% of all regular players don't read them. Believe it or not, most players are 100% oblivious to all rules in a casino besides maybe the turnover requirement when they accept a bonus. So, who actually reads the fine print? Abusers and skilled/seasoned players like the ones we have here on AskGamblers. From the casino's point of view, the skilled players will know what they are talking about (or be able to figure it out) so they are OK with being vague towards them. They probably don't LOVE giving their valued players information in this way but most of them will get the point anyway so they can live with it. But the "value" of being vague comes in relation to the bonus abusers. They will use every little dot or hole in the T&C to find a way around the rules and if you are very specific, it might leave a hole to be abused. In the interest of self-preservation, the casino simply doesn't have a really good reason not to be vague (or "broad" to use a better term). However, explaining the rules are something that every casino spend a lot of time doing (and should do happily) so I would recommend for people to simply ask if they are in doubt.

There have really been an inflation in this way of abusing bonuses lately, hence the reason why the operator in question has made it clear in their rules. The model goes like this: 1) Accept a bonus Let's say you deposit €100 and get €100 in bonus. 2) Play a progression achievement slot, where you can "save up value" A really good example of this is "Tower Quest". In this slot you collect red and blue bottles that fill up as you go along. Once you have enough to release a bonus feature you can do that BUT you can also keep collecting bottles and "save up" more bonus features. So, you do this while playing with your bonus money and obviously you hope to win and collect as many bonus features as possible. 3) You lose your bonus You keep collecting features until you go bust and you make sure that you go 100% bust. This clears you of any turnover requirement since your bonus money is now lost. 4) You deposit and claim your value You then make another small deposit, release all the features you have saved up and go directly to your account and cash out the full amount since you now have no turnover requirement. Devils Delight and The Wishmaster have been classic examples and hence basically all casinos have these blocked for playing with bonus money but a lot of players have started to use this model more aggressively on other slots as well. However, if you are a regular player there is almost no chance that you will "accidentally" do this and hence you shouldn't be worried about falling into the trap of a casino confiscating your winnings. Only players with direct intention of abusing a bonus offer should worry.

Withdraw to lock in a little profit ------> Bet BIIIIG witht the rest Only managed to create a mega win with the 2nd part of the strategy a few times but it is sooo exciting that I can't help it

If you take a coin, flip it 10.000 times and look at the results, you will find periods where it hits the same result for a vast majority of the time. The same goes for any game of chance including slot machines. So, a period of good spins is considered hot and a period of bad spins is considered cold. However, some people speculate that you can "feel" when the slot is hot and cold from a series of spins and this leads them to leave slots that feel cold and continue on slots that feel hot. Since in random games, it doesn't matter when and how you spin this theory doesn't hurt your chances of winning but be aware that thinking in the above way is purely a trick of the mind. Out brains are hardwired to try and find connections and meaning in everything. Without this ability we wouldn't be able to make sense of much in this world. Unfortunately our brain does not have the ability to reason with and "shut down" this functionality when we observe things that are random and hence, we have a way of miraculously finding sense and system in things, even if there are none. Some interesting studies have been conducted on this. Not within the scope of gambling because here it doesn't really matter much but within other areas of our life this brain process can be a bad thing and because of this, scientists have found it interesting to study. Feel free to Google if you find the subject interesting but if you are only interested based on potentially gaining an edge on slot machines, then don't bother. Your RTP won't change based on you trying to read if a slot is hot or cold. They are random.
