How Can Anyone Play At SlotLand???

[murder1]

I was being funny when I said you hit Royals every other week. No ones does that, too low of a probability.
And the only one here that I see is living in a weirdo world. Is yourself with that Got-Damn Mask On. You look like the European version of the Klu Klux Klan...if you ask me.

You can take all the potshots you like at me, I'm here to stay and I am going to continue to provide the service I do. None of you were born knowing how to play either.

Don't even let it bother you. I know you have been around longer than I have but as I have stated in other posts, since I have been a member most (not all) people here feed off negativity and are only happy when putting others down, trying to damage any kind of business they are involved in (especially if it is successful) and just trying to get get you going. Keep doing what you are doing.

Black21Jack,

You've accused myself and others of being negative on this board a few times, but I think you're being unfair.

This is a forum predominantly for when people have problems at on-line casinos, so obviously negative posts are likely to dominate! But then, we're not being negative just for the sake of it - we're almost always aiming for a positive result: having people lose less money at the casinos.

Among other things, you've attacked me for:

1) criticising Bethug for suggesting negative expectation casino games can be beaten by a progressive betting strategy - I took issue with this (along with a lot of others) because it's blatantly untrue and his postings no doubt lead to people losing money they can't afford to lose at the casinos. It's their responsibility, of course, but I'd still rather do what I can to stop it.

2) critising Fortune Lounge for snatching back their bonuses if people haven't met their complex wagering requirements. My posts might be negative, but they were only aimed at stopping FL using shady practices to keep money they'd otherwise have paid out to players (if like most other casinos they returned the cash-in to the players' accounts and explained the error). You advise not taking bonuses at all - blocking the only way players have a good chance of winning at the casinos.

I've no particular issue with Dominique's website, even if I think the people who read it would actually do better if they were just directed to wizardofodds and perhaps one bonus-orientated site (e.g. www.beatthehouse.co.uk). His site is very casino-orientated & fails to explain the basics of bonuses (like which are sticky or not, or that if you want to keep any of the money you'd better not play slots). I also think not stating when you're quoting directly from casino advertising (at times clearly untrue) is something he should change if he wants to try and claim the moral high ground as someone who helps players.

End of rant

Actually, I have stopped emphazising bonuses.

Most of my visitors are first time and novice players. I had so much trouble with them not reading wagering requirements and thinking that online casinos stink and just steal your money because they played BJ, won, and couldn't withdraw that I am going away from emphasizing bonuses.

I used to have so many admonishments on that site to read the wagering requirements, that if you typed into google:" Please make sure you read the wagering requirements on the casino web page" you would end up on my site. No more. It had no effect.

How are you going to get them to read about sticky bonuses or study mathematical odds? Never happen. Just a lot of disappointed people.

They don't want to read, they want to play the game of their choice. I think people get into bonuses later, once it's not all new and overwhelming anymore.

By then they have also found the boards and show up where they learn how to deal with bonuses correctly.

All I want is to make sure they go to reputable places and play decent basic strategy, and to communicate that in the simplest possible way.

Oh, and I am female.

Vesuvio, MOST people cant play, so if they flat betting they going to lose any way. I will never never play at slotland, just base on how there casino looks.

[Vesuvio]

Bethug - true, but if they flat bet they'll probably wager & therefore lose much less money.

Sorry, Dominique! (nice smiley, btw!)

Ummm..........hello??? the European version of the Klan??? Do you have ANY clue what the hell you are talking about??? To equate a (I think) mexican wrestling mask with the Nazi movement, is beyond poor taste...there are several menbers and guests that read this forum, whose grasp on the english language isn't quite up to the standard you operate at. A statement like that could very easily, and quickly spiral out of control. I think some sort of clarifaction is in order. NOW

Vesuvio - flattery will get you everywhere.

you wrote:

Hey, want to write an article on that for me? I'll pay you and post it on my site. I think its something it needs. You need to have a thick skin though because I edit the dickens out of everything.

It's a Casinomeister mask, not a Mexican wrestling mask. No Nazis here!

Slotlands slot payouts are presumably the generic 95%.

The JOB game comes in around 85%ish.

Spacejacks comes in around maybe 90% with PERFECT play.

No one has mentioned this fact regarding the payout percentage at Slotland.

1. All of slotland's games are included in the progressive jackpot
2. Progressives have lower payback rates than regular slot games, since a percentage of the money wagered goes towards building the progressive jackpot.

Therefore, unless I am mistaken, we're just pissin in the wind here.
