Rival software review (unnecessarily long)

[soflat]

I gave it one more shot (yes, I am a sucker for bonuses).

Deposited $25, received $75. My balance quickly hit about $130 playing the Gold Rush slot (an excellent slot with frequent good payouts in my opinion).

I took it to RC-2 Art Heist and played @ 60 cents a spin (4 coins per line in order to avoid Robin Hood and avoid the $100 20xWR bonus in case I actually stole the painting).

The amazing thing was that my balance stayed in the $100-130 range right up to the final $200 of wagering requirement. I hit the free spins on a regular basis and had some decent scores (up to about 50x bet size).

I actually stole the correct painting and completed the game. You would not believe the payout if your thieves escape to paradise! WOW!!!!! ( ) Haha!!

When I completed the WR, I had about $60 (plus some comps), so I lost at a rate of only 5-6%. Who knows, I might actually break even for the promo with today's possible winnings.

To my knowledge, there are no more issues with the comp points. Where were you reading this?

As for the slots, Rival has listened, and is now acting. Stay tuned..

soflat, puleez tell us what the actual "payoff" is when getting to the end! For $2400 in wagering requirements on a deposit, @ $3.75 a spin, please don't tell me it's $50 or something like that...I would die....so now I am only dying to know....

Welllll, OK. But first of all, if anybody wants to play through the game and be surprised by the final payoff (like I did), don't read the end of this post. It will really spoil the fun.

I hope the casinos and developers don't take the criticism the wrong way. I really like Cocoa Casino and had a great session there yesterday thanks to the 3-reel slots.

I thought 50 or 100x the bet would be a good payoff after avoiding all the pitfalls and committing so much time to the gameplay.

I played 60 cents a spin, stole The Scream, and the robbers made it all the way to the beach where they were relaxing after the great heist. The final screen came up and I had been rewarded with $3.75 Then I was returned to the beginnning of the game to start over .

OMG are you kidding me? Geez, the payout on that slot must be like 50%. Heck they could give 1000% bonus and still make money.

I guess my question about whether you can get the bonus at more than 1 of their casinos is a moot point. WHO WOULD WANT TO?

Paul, I answered your questions in a PM.

The expected payback for the slots is approximately 96-98% depending on coins played and which game is played. None are less than 95%.

As for the bonus claiming issue, I believe I answered this query several times now, in addition to personally responding to you via a PM. Any online casino reserves the right to deny promotions to any player. Rival Powered casinos are not new with this policy, but Rival Powered casinos such as the T4G group of casinos make it clear to the player before depositing unlike some other brands. I've stated several times that if a player would like their bonus eligibility to reviewed, they may email the manager and request a review. Of course, there is no guarantee that the account status will change. There is no term in the T4G casinos specifically stating only one bonus per person in the 400 group, but there is a term specifying promotion eligibility is at the discretion of the casino.

If you would like me to personally request the manager look into your account, Paul, please send me a PM with your account details and I'll forward it on to the manager.

Cheers,

Rob

So, it is true: crime does not pay!

[paul02085]

LMAO

[paul02085]

I apologize to Cocoa Rob as he did PM me 3 days ago to let me know that there is no written rule saying you cannot get more than 1 signup bonus. My bad

Regarding the payouts of these slots, if they are 95% or higher, there must be one helluva payout that none of us here are familiar with

You've got to be chittin me! No way! OMG..... definitely run from this casino!

I made it to a couple of levels but never to the end, and if I did make it to the end and the bonus was around $22.50 for a $3.75 wager, I would have died! Even the worst slots online pay more than 6x your bet...geezes!

To invest that much money and TIME trying to reach the end, you would figure a few hundred dollars at the least, I would anyway!

Don't WALK, RUN !!! RUN !!!! RUN!!!!
