Oops, forgot one.

I'm on the road at the moment (in so. Cal), but I'm following this semi-closely. I'm still dumbfounded that this was allowed to be uploaded onto their pages - and to remain there longer than a half-an-hour is completely and totally unacceptable.

You're promoting a casino not selling shoes.

"The Foundation for Arthritis Prevention recommends multi line slots" is still live, and this thread is two days old.

I'm totally disgusted with this entire situation. More later.

Ditto. And this is one instance where I am in total agreement with the posters who have mentioned that ECogra should take a firm stance on this one. They are supposed to be a regulatory body, well they need to regulate this. One poster in this thread used the word "predatory". I couldn't agree more with that description.

more quotes

"Homesick? Gamble at Online Slots"

"Not Coping? Play These Slot Machines"

"Unsure of Everything? Play Online Slots For Money...I was not even sure of myself after Nick left, so playing online slots for mega bucks really helped put me on solid ground."

"Want Emotional Stability? Free Slots...As long as Linda could find free slots to play that had such fun graphics, she was going to be okay."

"Worried About Money? Play These Slots...Do not worry so much about money when you do not have to; just check out the payouts for winning these slots and you will probably be able to relax more."

"Slots Relieve Life's Pressures...Sometimes I feel like I live in a pressure cooker, and playing slots opens the valve. Slots relieves the stress that is a part of life."

"Feeling Bad About Women? Play Slots...I invite Jessica out for dinner after I win at slots. I feel better about women thanks to slots"

"I was a bit drunk the night I did really well on slots but that was a good thing too."

"Popularity of Slots With the Older Generation...I wonder why slots got so popular with the older generation. All my friends' grandparents like playing slots."

"Money Worries? Play Slot Machines"

"Want to Quit Work? Best Online Casino"


These articles are targeting people vulnerable to compulsive and problem gambling. The unbelievable and disgraceful thing is that they want these people searching on the internet with these search terms to find their casinos. It's probably worth mentioning that the 32Red magazine article incident about how to beat roulette was much more widely read (circulation of around half a million) and much more believable and liable to create problem gamblers. They didn't do anything about it when they could have easily notified the players who joined after reading it and played roulette- they didn't want to lose the profits.

Ive been behind on my meistering this week. Didnt see thris thread and it sickens me.

Allright I am in no way taking the casino's side on this one. But this is a pretty smart move business wise. The smart move business wise isnt always the best way to go about things and tears may be shed in the process. With an exception of maybe 2 or 3 casinos, how many casinos put the players before the money?? Look at the King Neptunes situation, great casino could have did the nice thing and pay it. No, they did the business thing and didnt, because it was better business stand point. It is all about the $$ why do you think people open casinos in the first place.

Back to the links!
Someone could be suspecting a debt solution and see that all slots add. As dumb as it sounds to use it happens, someone who is desperate will try anything to get back what they lost or what they need. As sleezy as this sounds its true.

Do I think the links and testominals are right? NO!
Do I think It will Improve "The business they are running"? YES! HELL YES! They are appealling to a new audience who doesn't expect it.

I have lost total respect for the jackpot factory group. I havent played there much but as slotster said, the "ICON" is always there just in case.
I have lost respect in this group for multiple reasons
1. why i dont play there often, no live chat anymore
2. the links what kinda garbage is that
3. "false testiomanails" which is the sleeziest.I doubt a few are true if any
4. False statement, "the links are gone" No they are not, I am at this thread late and they still ALL!!!! are there.
I bet the casino struck a gold mine with these links, I also bet THEY ARE NOT THE FIRST TO USE THIS METHOD!


My views, I'd play at Virtual casino before the jackpot factory ones now. But if ever had problems with life and broke up with my wife, who of course cheated on me with my half evil third cuzin. Id play here.

Sorry for the random rant, I missed this thread by a few days.

I think its pretty funny. call me an ass but if someone falls for that BS maybe they deserve it. Looks to me to just be search engine bot tactics, nothing we 'humans' are really supposed to read or take meaning out of.
props to thinking out of the box to your marketing team even if it ended up just pissing affiliates off for some reason

now i gotta get back to my free slots

Exclamation

So I sat down at my computer with a tasty bowl of SLOTS CRUNCH CEREAL to check out the latest posts in the forum. WOW! I was amazed to discover that my favorite food is fortified with every vitamin on earth, plus certain doses of psychotic plants. No wonder it is so damn tasty!

And where was I when space shuttles started carrying FREE SLOTS? They say that there's not a whole lot to do in space, so I guess it makes sense. But how do the coins exit the FREE SLOT MACHINE since there's no gravity?

But perhaps the best news of all is, they actually have FREE SLOTS at an underwater casino!

So I have one question for everyone: HOW CAN I CONVINCE ALL OF YOU TO DROP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND GO PLAY FREE SLOTS?

-------------------------------

Specifically targeting and exploiting compulsive gamblers and claiming that slots helps arthritis is VERY GRIMY. I would love to quit work and gamble all day every day, but doing so would (a) leave me broke, and (b) probably GIVE me arthritis.

If you can get past the initial shock of the situation, I must say that I found most (NOT ALL) of these quotes and paragraphs to be rather hilarious.

But I am also surprised that as of 01:00AM EST 2006-06-01, all of these pages are all still available...

Well that's all for now, I'm going to go get some more SLOTS CRUNCH CEREAL.

Unhilarity

Well, in a way they ARE hilarious! However, they cross the line when they are designed to appear when people "google" for help for problems that are directly at odds with responsible gaming. I am sure they could have created these hilarious tales so that they appeared whenever a potential player was searching for information about gambling or related activities. They would have been well adjusted enough to have a good laugh, and naturally the article would have stuck in their memory and they would recall the name of the casino and assosiate it with humour. Sadly, this has misfired in a big way, and worst of all, they got caught red handed by more educated net-savvy players.
I visited the site and it looks like all that happened was the site was given a quick "BMW" to quote an earlier poster. All the links now simply reload the home page, and look like bad web design, however, clearly the articles are still there for the search bots to pick up on.
Dirt is not "gone" by sweeping it under the rug, the only way is to get rid of it is with the trash (or refuse/rubbish, for us Brits).
eCogra will have a full(ish) mailbox this morning, we will have to see what they make of this.

Thumbs down

This is ridiculous. I thought some of it was funny at first, but all of their sites contain literally endless pages filled with outright lies, meaningless stories about unrelated topics injected with gambling terms, and psychological ploys specifically aimed at problem and compulsive gamblers.

I was going to deposit at All Jackpots tomorrow because their 400% signup bonus is enticing, but now that I see what they spend their money on, I am not going to do so.

Tactics like this seem similar to those which earned 888.com rogue status.

I nominate this group for the same.

So let's see if we have this right. Thus far, Jackpot Factory has targeted:

The chronically depressed
People with marital problems
People in dire straits financially
People with ADHD
The elderly
People with arthritis
People searching for solutions to high interest rates

Have I missed anyone? What's next? Telling you that playing slots will help you cope with the death of a loved one?

Scummy, sleazy, dirty, predatory, irresponsible.....the list goes on. Feel free to add any more adjectives you deem appropriate.
