Well my dear, you better be posting some bad recipes here, because this IS the complaint section of the forum. Not that I'm suggesting that your cookies are indeed bad silcnlayc. Wow, Christmas is around the corner, hmmm, cookies...


Although if we're going to be talking about bad cookies, my mother (not her recipe though) used to make these God-awful mint balls (apparently a creation made on EARTH AND a part of the "cookie family").

Good to hear from you again liquidsoap.


I'm sorta gauging what you're saying here. But the part about the casino being able to "pull something off like that", is this from something I specifically said? As in, do they have the ability to tweak the game? What I did say/suggest is that something (to me) seems much different in comparison to the rest of the MG casinos. I've played at every MG casino (multiple times), say for a short-list of 3-4 (and possibly a handful of others I'm not even aware of).

I agree with those who say, "Why on earth would an MG casino want to tweak their games"? They certainly don't have to. And to me, if specifically a MG casino could alter the outcome of their games, that's just absolutely greedy and what would be the point of the RNG?

The passing thought that I did have though (and yes, an irrational thought), is that since Phoenician offers instant withdrawals, maybe they do things a little-bit-different than the others. Just a passing thought though, AND it doesn't matter because whatever the case may be, winning is not in the cards for me at Phoenician (that much I DO know).

I think one of my original points that seems to have been overlooked (that does carry some weight), is what's up with them changing their T&C's on the fly, twice, in a matter of several hours (and RIDICULOUS & IMPOSSIBLE to achieve terms I might add... $20,000 on a $150 bonus ).

Ive also had only poor results at Phoenician. I dont say bad luck because I think luck (or "randomness") has nothing to do with it.

That's how I "feel" as well, by I have no proof and it's time for me to move on.

i gotta prove you guys wrong on phoenician, some part, i deposited 50 just trying to join slot junkies on loaded, but loaded wasnt to loaded yet(i thought of that myself) so while i downloaded it i played jungle jim, got my 50 dollar deposit up to 200 in about 5 minutes thanks to the alligators, then raised bet to 4.50 then i got 10 * 5 and got some good wins, now i cashed out 400 and have 210 left, and got a nice win on loaded too but only after it was loaded.

BUT.......

i went to live chat to cash out my winnings to see if i could do an instant withdraw, no bonus by the way, and they said the minimum deposit has to be 100 i was like i couldnt believe it, so now i have to wait 2-3 days, and they wont even flush my withdraw, amazing how they can hide that in the terms somewhere i still cant find it, i won but am still peeved at phoenician.

John Steed, I am really surprised at Phonecian. when I decided to go back and gamble some more. I took them up on their bonus and played for hours upon hours. Wanted to cash out using their instant cashout but Had to have deposited 100 since registering before I could use it and minimum cash out was 100.
Ok, so I decided to keep playing there. Had a ball, because the slots I like the most I can play for small wagers unlike most MG's.
So I finally put in my last 25 which took my total deposits to 100 and played again for hours and was down to about 30 dollars and decided since I didn't have to bet 5 dollars a shot at Break Da Bank, I would play a little while there before going to bed. At a dollar a spin. which you can bet as low as 10 cents a line. I hit first for 60 dollars and I thought WOO HOO. So I kept playing and hit 128 dollars and Said , YES< YES. Right after that I hit for 160, NO LIE.
this was at full bet 1 dollar, 20 cents a line. I was in heaven.

So I went to bank cashed out 300 and used the instant and it was there in minutes. I had a few problems learning how to work it and live help was extremely helpful.
So I made 200 profit on my initial deposits totalling 100 dollars. How cool is that. What was left I played off and GEEZ couldn't hit anything. Darn should have cashed it all out. But live and learn. Had a ball.
But I definitly hear what you are saying. After the first initial deposit bonus and the huge wagering requirements, I told them I no longer wanted any bonuses attached to my deposits and that works for me.
But honestly, of all the places I have played at, my money lasted longer there then anywhere else and I only deposit 25 at a time.
Have a great Holiday Season everyone.

Hi rudepete!


Wow, I haven't been seeing your name pop-up here as much recently like I did a month ago. Hope you're "Jolly & Merry" these days. It must be wonderful living in Michigan these days, with The Pistons and The Red Wings being at the top of their divisions (big Sheed W. & Stevie Y fan).

Yeah, I guess I was pretty cranky when I started this thread a week back. I think my biggest point (which evolved into something else), was about them changing the T&C's on that specific bonus ($150) twice. Not cool in my books. Aside from a little run, and one big hit (5 scatters), considering all of my other deposits (and quite a substantial amount of money) without much play or return, I'm a little scared to deposit considering my overall luck there. Hey, that's the way it is. I rule at Capital Casino, and I'm sure somebody else out there thinks that it (as in Cap-Casino) isn't playing a fair game. I stand by my personal experience, but in no way do I think that's the way it is with everyone who goes there.

That's just the thing, aside from that marathon I had trying to reach the wagering requirements, all of (and I mean ALL, say for 1) those times I have gone from $100 to zero in a matter of 10-15 minutes pretty much each time (off of minumum bets at that). Can't explain it, it's just not the perfect fit for "John Steed" (Emma Peel would be THE perfect fit for John Steed ).



I'm glad you've enjoyed your time at Phoenician, and you SHOULD keep going there if you love it. I recall that post you made a couple of months back, talking about your great luck (and that you were able to play for so long on a small deposit). I thought that was wonderful, and despite my experience, I still do.


Cheers during the holiday season (you've reminded my to write-up my Christmas list)!
