Best for slots

[Micheleine]

Hi EVeryone,

This is Micheleine, a newbie here and a schoolteacher with a penchant for slots.

Thank you for this forum. As a teacher, I just want to share my 2cents worth and tell it like it is.
1) You can't actually make moolah from playing slots. I play for the fun of it
but it will inevitably take your mullah! Also Microgaming has
seemingly gone tight in 2009 with many slots but that could be the economy. (or is it my imagination?)
2) But if you still wanted to play slots, my best experience for
good support and prompt payout has been Riverbelle and The Gaming
Club and I have no affliates whatsoever as I don't like profiting from
people's gambling habits.
3) I am mystified by Playtech. They have great slots. So far,
I am waiting for Euro Grand for a payout and will report back
if they give any issues. But many Playtech casinos are getting flack for their poor payout response.
Another sad issue, I just joined Tila Casino and many of their slots
arent up and running due to technical difficulties. I reported this online and again via email. No reply about when they are up and running. But they don't tell you this on their website so I joined via their website with no clue that some new slots don't work at all. I am trusting
that their support is good enough to give a refund but who knows- Tila is still new and some have given it flack.

4) Bet365 is famous and their slots can be tight but I will report more
later. I am making a withdrawal son some winnings. If it doesn't
come or if it comes very late, I will let you guys know.

This is the only thing I can share right now. Hope it helps.

Hi Michelaine - welcome to the forum

Interesting info and I would be particularly interested to see how long a withdrawal from Bet365 to Canada takes if it is a bank withdrawal - or did you use an eWallet?

Cheers

Simmo!

Nice post Michele .
Welcome to the forum

Hi guys,

thanks for the welcome.

Just some feedback, 1) I just realized Bet365 sends a verfication number all the way from UK to Canada, so my
intended withdrawal is null. It's been a week and so
far no snail mail number. It might be best to not bet so much cos you know our gambling tendencies to lose it all rather than to withdraw a percentage of winnings (earnings!)

2) So far, it's been a week and no payout from Euro Grand but I will wait before making any complaints.

3) Tila Casino is strange and I would deposit a minimum
as you may be disappointed with their their new slots
not working at all (for one week so far.)

What is going on out there I do wonder. Does
anyone have any good experiences with a Playtech
casino at all.
I would stick with Microgaming but their slots have
been dry for some time so again, I wonder if
they've tightened them due to the sad sad Economy.

Can only speak from a UK perspective but Bet365 and ToteSport are my picks. Klub8 seems to be picking up a good rep too. Betfred should be pretty stable also. Seems odd that Bet365 send a snail mail verification though - haven't come across that since Cryptologic (Ecash) used to do it 3 or 4 years back, but they stopped that.

Welcome to the forum Micheleine.

I didn't withdraw from my first deposit at Bet365. But it wasn't all that long before the verification mail arrived. Just follow the letter's instructions. You have to verify before making a second deposit. So by the time I made a withdrawal, this was already completed. Payment was very fast (within hours) to my Moneybookers. Security seems to be tighter there than at most online casinos in some ways. You have to re-enter your casino password to make a deposit on the banking page. I don't play any other Playtechs, so I don't know if it is unusual or not.

Hope your other issues go well.

Good first post Micheleine!

1. I too, would absolutely love to see every casino publish their HA's for various Slot games so players (who wish to) can make educated decisions. I don't think I like a culture where casinos can privately set or tweak their Slots to payout at ratios basically of their choosing back and forth without announcing it. I feel it can be a bit dishonest maybe to launch a new Slot that pays out a lot - then once it's popular, tweak it back to something really brutal for the player (not actually sure if this even happens, but would still like to see transparency - if nothing to hide, I don't see what the big deal is - any player can go to Wizard and get exact HA's for almost every table game and I don't think that stops gamblers from gambling much). And you will see me lobbying for this (published Slot HA's) to be added as a clause for Accredited Listing here, but not sure how successful I'll be.

2. I don't think you have anything to worry about with EuroGrand tbh. But that's not to say their long time to pay is acceptable in any way. Just that I think your money is totally safe, as they're such a large casino.

3. TilaCasino are a bit funny lol - but they've been around for some time - I actually found myself living almost next door to their (then at least) affiliate manager in a random Manila (Philippines) apartment building in 07. Was a crazy obscure moment to signup and have an affiliate manager email me asking if my account was a joke lol - I think I'd 100% do the same thing in his spot. They have some strange ideas about things, wanted me to jump through hoops to raise my tiny default limits (even when bonus long cleared and playing with my own money on Craps etc) - but I think a decent operation. I know for a fact there are some...challenges...being a small casino or poker room using Playtech - as it's such a huge company growing so fast, if you're a smaller room or casino, you can find your requests backlogged behind a lot of "big project" Playtech stuff - so I wouldn't be too critical of Tila as the issue you mention could be related to something like that.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks folks,

You know it's getting chilly, windy and the leaves are turning a lovely Autumn colour here in B.C, Canada.
This may explain my slot play as I'm indoors more if
not hanging out with chums!!

Yes I agree, that it would be lovely to have details
from all casinos and your thought about the new ones
giving more and than being possibly tweaked later to
be tighter -- I suspect is true. I've been having this experience with my Microgaming play (don't want to diss
the casinos which al have great support) but I often
up at with new slots and then a few months later,
they payout less.

Also, thank you for relieving my doubts about Bet365
but yes they do need to see verification, maybe because we live in Canada. But I've lost quite a bit there
as my number hasn't arrived by snail mail so I
can't withdraw. Silly me -- should wait for withdrawal
ability before betting as my policy is to win some and
withdraw investment first.

But just to share any info. I have been winning more
from Playtech and yet the paradox is I love Microgaming Casino Support and speedy withdrawals -- if only the payouts were as good as Playtech's!

I'm so sorry -- I want to be good about Tila but they
still don't have a lot of their slots up and running and they did not respond when I emailed them. So I jhave
uninstalled the little critter as much I wanted
to feed it my teeny bits of Canadian mullah!

Good luck to all of you this cold lovely day.

I miss the Playtech slots sooo much! Welcome and Good luck

Hi EVeryone,

1) You can't actually make moolah from playing slots. I play for the fun of it but it will inevitably take your mullah!
3) I am mystified by Playtech. They have great slots.

1) I beg to differ! You CAN win from slots if you use good bonuses.
If you are able to play at Ladbrokes too, that will help a LOT...

3) Me too! Playtech DO have some great slot games which I love, but their casinos generally just don't compete with Rivals or MGs for bonuses, so I hardly ever play them.
All the reputable Playtechs I list (with cashable bonuses) have WRs of Bx40, 50, 60 or even more - compared to most MGs (and some Rivals) Bx30.
It's shame.

Anyways, welcome to CM - Enjoy!
