Why do I continue to play at Rival?

[bb28]

Well guys, thought I was going to be able to finally have some good news at Rival. I deposited $32, for the third time in about 1 hour, but anyway, on my last 32, claimed the 100% bonus, and had to wager 50 times ($3500). You're not gonna believe this, but I hit $990! I got up to $1200, but nowhere near my wagering requirements. By the time I reached them, had $350, barely over what I deposited just today. Anyway, of course Fantasy Fortunes took my $1100. Why am I not surprised? That's the fourth time this month I've gone through over $1000 on that machine. I'm a glutton for punishment I guess. If anyone would like to try it, it has $5,000 of my money, with bonuses that's almost $10,000. That's why I keep playing, I think it's got to pay some back. For goodness sakes, I only bet pennies!! I have never had such a run of bad luck in my life. I've been gambling for 10 years, and I don't think I've lost in my whole life what I've lost these last 6 weeks. It's unreal. But, my fault. On that machine, if you meet your wagering requirements, and are ahead by even $10, I guess you should cash out. Anyway, wah wah wah, I think they monitor this, because I've had REALLY bad luck since I started bi**hing on here. LOL.

Heidisue, I've been reading your posts and I'm sorry but I just gotta say something. I hope you don't get offended because I don't mean to kick you when your are down, but why do you keep going back for more when you've said many times how burnt you are about your losses? You keep talking about how much you've lost at Rival and it's a pretty sizable amount. You are admitting that you are chasing your losses and depositing again and again and repeatably losing. If you are getting ahead at times but busting out before meeting the WR, maybe you should consider not taking the bonuses or just taking a break.

if it's any consolation, i've never hit ANYTHING on that game either . certain games seem to be, shall we say, lacking in terms of presence in the winner's ss thread.

"I'm a glutton for punishment I guess"... secondary definition of a slot player.

I was playing the Scary Rich, in fun mode... hit 5 scattered frankensteins for the first time ever and they actually paid NOTHING...totally surprised...whats the point of having scatters if they don't pay anything but a bonus round that is a loss anyway from the cost of reaching it?

Duh? I guess Rival still doesn't get it...happy players come back and blow more than they cash out ...the cashout is a ritual with many to prove it can be done but they give it right back because they can and know they will have fun...again they have lost sight of the "big" picture..

You can't run a casino on lousy payscale, tight machines, slow withdrawals...you end up losing the players you have in the end..

IMO Rival was mean in cancelling the autoplay function for free play mode. Some of us like to go quickly to the feature mode to see what we can get. Now we have to click till we reach the feature. Takes the fun away and hope you play for real?

I am glad you mentioned this for I feel the very same way...the first time I hit autoplay and the pop up said it was for real players only I almost laughed thinking how low can one casino go....to make you deposit?

I guess they must be losing many players with the pay scale they created and the truly bad bonus round wins..

Again, I really do enjoy the games (which is a shame in the long run for them) and play in fun mode only unless they give me a chip or two, and I also have not deposited in almost 1 and 1/2 years...because of the discussion way back in the forum on the pay outs..I thought that they truly do not care to keep players happy and wanting to come back..so, I kept my money..

bb28,
You are absolutely right! I don't know why I do keep going back. I need a shrink or something. My fiance and I talk about it all the time. I just have it in my head, that the machine has got to pay eventually. But I think I'm done with that thinking. Sorry to complain so much guys. Hope everyone has better luck.
