Why do I continue to play at Rival?

[heidisue76]

Yeah, I've finally had enough. I just went through yet another $300 in 1 hour. I just can't do this anymore. I e-mailed them and told them when they are ready to loosen the machines a little, and start paying again, to let me know, LOL. I'm still waiting for withdrawals since March (which is the last time I even came close to a withdrawal). Anyway, hope everyone else has better luck at Rival. They treat new players great, since I became a "VIP" it's been horrible.

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.

The machine did in effect paid eventually.....it wasnt you though.

The only rival ive been able to put a withdraw through is and kakata hold your breath is sloto. And thats only when i never taken a bonus out with them
seems for the first few min i can hit all bonus rounds making my deposit 10x what i put in so i always now withdraw and play with my initial deposit. Then that usually goes in a few min of playing. Never waited more then 72 hours from them for my money. I have decided that seeing it doesnt really matter where you do play last while nothing is hitting not even enough to give you extra playing time. Last nite i went into rtg on free play picked 15 games hit free spins
200 times on each 3 times i hit free spins and that didnt pay much one was 16.80 other was 1.80. Mg last week i did get to make a withdraw but wasnt near what i have put into their games either. And again bonus or free spins far and few between and when landed paid nothing. Im a low roller not looking to make thousands on a hit would be nice dont get me wrong but would also be nice to hit something that would at least allow you longer then 20 min of playing time if that with your deposit. Is it most of the casinos year end for them and they are trying to capture some lost income im not sure but for time being ill play it safe and limit my deposits to few times a week.
Lets just try and keep all of us updated if some of the casinos start to loosen up a bit maybe they would see more happier customers and better deposits from us also.

The more I thought about Kakata's comment, the more it got me thinking.
This is going to sound nuts, I know it will, especially written here in B&W.

What if : It's true? Whos to say it cant be? How do we know these software rivals arn't in cohoots and taking turns? If you look back, it all comes full circle

RTG
MG
RIVAL

When I started here 2 yrs ago everything was RTG RTG RTG screenies of cleop, ronin, all of them. descussions of 20 cents VS $1 or more bets

Then...RTG got weak and people were complaining. So......out comes MG threads, screenies of hitman, osbournes, tunzamunni, mega moolah, everyone seemed to be happy....."way more games" "tired of same old rtg games" so much to choose from 15 liners, 20 liners , wow 40 liners

All of a sudden ppl werent getting paid in a timely manner , the slots were tightening up so people went back to RTG and started winning again (probably because they took this hiatus)

Then I ask about Rival being accredited in the "ask the casinomeister" I noticed all the screenies ppl were posting, scary rich, prime property, reel of fortune, those soap opera ones. WOOHOOOO we found something that isnt RTG or MG...could this be the one? All the screenies were going, ppl were getting paid.

RuhRoh: Why are Rival slots so tight? OMG, I remember putting in $20 and lasting awhile and cashing out (not me persay). What happened? this sucks, You know what? Im gonna go back to RTG, atleastthey pay out fast!

This is a vicious circle people and it's not going to end , ever! Kakata has a great point. Boy, its funny how one line a person writes makes a huge difference and puts things in perspective

How do we know they are not taking turns? How come it is a cycle. go look at screenies, you will see.....rtg, mg, rival......rtg,mg,rival with the exception of 3 dice, there seems to be screenies from atleast 2 people a day since we started there and NOT ONE PERSON has complained about getting paid in a timely matter (IMHO...timely means within 5 days if theres a weekend) Im in the USA

Babs,

I think you are right about the tightness of the slots. Sometimes they are loose and sometimes the other way round. Many gamblers like to whine (me included) when things dont go their way.

However, the fact that many are not getting paid in a timely fashion is much more different. There are many players not getting paid several weeks after cashing out no matter where they live. The Rivals (excluding Slotocash) have been claiming it is due to processor problems without elaborating for months but this is not getting any clearer or better and there have been delayed payments dating back to March. It is even more confusing because the Rival Managers were usually very helpful but they seemed to have taken a passive stance on this issue.

I took Superior's (Rival) free money and made enough to withdraw $150, but in the time it took to get all the paper proof to them I withdrew it and turned it into $400 which they duly gave me, no problems. Since then I has spent a good deal and as all say, it just goes....never enough to withdraw. I will say that Rival games are some of the most interesting and I frankly do get enough time on them to simply call the $ an investment in fun. I have also deposited without using any of their bonus stuff...straight up..and play three card poker. Let me tell you, go to your local casino since you will never win at Superior in 3 card, and if you do get a bit up, it switches on you and you have a super, super downhill ride. As soon as I get my next and last bonus from them, they will get wiped out.

Rival players not getting paid for weeks??? Some since March??? That is the first time I've heard of that... could you please give me exact examples ChuChu59? Also, this is certainly not at Vegas Regal Casino.

It is true that processing is an issue for Rivals, but I don't know of any US facing brands that either haven't, don't or won't have issues with processing. It is part of the game. And the few issues we have, I think have been handled very well and in a timely manner (generally players never even noticing). If I'm mistaken, I'd like to know about it.
