Well since I have been away for sooo long and there are so many fresh faces here i wondered if we should start a new forum game. Its not really a 'casino/gambling' based game but we will make it as relevant as possible. (this is providing valdes allows the game to go ahead ) Its called ; 'Two truths and a Lie game' RULES: One player states three things about themselves, (it doesn’t have to be slot related its up to you) two of which are are true and one of them is a lie. The other players have to guess which one is the lie. The first player who correctly guesses takes the next turn. I will start............. 1) I once bet my entire wage packet on a game of Blackjack....and WON! 2) I have carried out Mystery Shopping (undercover) work for Ladbrokes Betting Shop and Gaming machines 3) I original stated playing online bingo which led me to my first ever slot machine a few years ago WHICH ONE IS THE LIE?

Has anyone played the new Fisticuffs slot? I like the concept of it with the free spins on the Center three reels with the possibility of them extending but I feel the payouts are really low considering it is a pay both ways slot. It's good I will continue to play it but I think it also gets boring quickly with no free spins feature, apart from the free 1 re-spin feature, and also no bonus game - :-( I got a screen shot its not the best one to show u I kept forgetting to take a screen shot but loads of times I thought the win was low for what I had on the screen ... Take into account I had the first spin which was trophies on the first reel (I think anyway)

Hi! I'm in quite a long and bad run recently in all of my favorite Micrigaming casinos! Play there from years, but now I got some odd feeling(lurking behind my ears ) that something's wrong with the RTPs! Thousands and thousands of spins without any decent win of at least 50-60 x bet, including free spins or any other feature! Four casinos, not just only one! Tried more than 10 games - Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck II, Dark Knight, Immortal Romance,Dolphin's Coast and others! Nothing, nada, zero! The only thing that rises is the number of my deposits! I'm not a huge admirer of any conspiracy theories and don't want to blame anyone but all this just seems a little strange to me! So, I was hoping we all can share out late Microgaming experience and see if I'm the only one stupid here with the lack of luck!

Ok, dear ladies and gents! I was always so curious what kind of a casino gambling platform other players actually prefer! So, finally got the courage to ask and now I am anxious to hear your opinions! But first, let me share my preferences! WIthout any doubt my number one is ... Microgaming! Actually, in the last couple of years I fell in such a deep love with MGS, that now it is a constant part of my uneasy naps! Although my biggest wins so far are not connected with Microgaming, this is the platform, which I respect and trust most! Why? - unbelievable diversity of games and slots; maybe half of the most popular slots last years are MGS, including but not limited to Thunderstruck II, Lord Of The RIngs, Immortal Romance and many many more! - when was the last time when you heard of a rogue casino, powered by Microgaming? - fair and honest odds, guaranteed by the most truthful certificates in the world of online gambling like eCOGRA for example! - top-notch security for your personal data and money, including 128 bit SSL and live chat with highest possible security standards! - one of the biggest available progressive jackpots in the industry nowadays! - super achievable bonuses, always cashable and with wagering requirements as low as only 30 times the value of the bonus! I am also a hge fan of Playtech (unfortunately only two casinos, powered by it accepts Bulgarians), Cryptologic (my biggest win so far was the Marvel Hero Jackpot, won while playing Fantastic Four slot with bet of only 0.25$ ) and Net ENtertainment (I can play Gonzo's Quest slot forever, I simply adore this game)! Now it is your turn, friends! Let's wag the dog!!!
