The Hype Gaming Thread

**SlotsWizard** · 19th October 2006, 03:11 AM

This is a continuation of the the sidetracked thread started in Winner Screenshots. I have no complaint with them per se, because I have not done business with them, so I am not posting this in the complaints section.

Anyway, I was curious about them so I downloaded the software and was a hair away from signing up, but decided I had better check out the Terms and Conditions first. Glad I did! Because of this term alone, I am completely turned off and will not sign up here:

Monitoring of Gaming Patterns
Hype monitors Hype user's betting patterns in accordance with the Hype Privacy Policy. Where Hype identifies an exceptional change to any Hype users betting patterns, Hype will contact the identified user and request an explanation of the exceptional change in the user's betting patterns.

In the event that Hype is dissatisfied with a user's response to an exceptional change query, Hype reserves the right at its sole discretion to suspend the user's account until further notice.

Nope, sorry. There is rarely a rhyme or reason to my betting style and I certainly don't want or care to explain myself. What exactly do they want to hear? That I clicked the wrong button by accident? That I bet $45 a spin because it's a full moon? Or that I bet 20 cents a spin because I'm low on funds?

Hype: "Sir, we've noticed an exceptional change in your betting style lately. Would you care to explain?"

Me: "Sure, I'd be happy to. The reason for my erratic betting style is because I wanted to see if you would actually call me to ask what's up."

Hype: "I'm sorry, but management's decision is to confiscate your deposit, bonus and winnings, and to permanently close your account. Please note that the decision of management is final. Thank you for choosing Hype Gaming."

I wanted to sign up but that is a bunch of crap!

I considered signing up until I saw that it uses "Player Preferred" software, and there is a 200xBonus wagering requirement on Blackjack (100xBonus on other table games). Since then there has been several player complaints.

Out of curiosity I signed up and played on practice play. Beautiful graphics but only 5 or 6 slot games. No VP that I saw. A waste of good graphic artists. Was bored in 30 minutes and uninstalled it. Maybe they will wise up.

I signed up last night and did well. Withdrew $1000 after meeting T&C's (forgot that you get the signup bonus automatically). Did well, got it up over $1600. Great bonus round payoffs which were in the $100's of dollars except one round at $37.50 at $3.75 spin bet.

Now to see if they pay.

I agree the blackjack terms are a bit ridiculous (WR). The slots are your typical, though. I played quite a bit here and withdrew no problem. I can say that I certainly have erratic betting patters

I play slots exclusively - and will bet anywhere from $0.25 to $10.00 per spin depending upon 'how I feel'.

I haven't been questioned yet - but not too worried about it. Sucks that they put that into their T&C's, though. I'll have to point them to this thread so that they can see what they are getting into with these predatory clauses.

Anyway - not too many slots, but the Treasure Hunter slot makes up for it in my opinion... There is really nothing remotely like it out there and I have gotten A LOT of huge bonus wins there (ranging from $75 to multiple over $200 and all the way up to a little over $800 - all from a $2.50 spin)

Thanks for opening this thread - the winning screenshots was getting derailed

To be fair though - that pretty much describes any of the MG "Big Three" scatter slots at £2.25 a spin. Anything up to and above 1000x your bet...

For sure... However, there aren't many casinos out there that compete on this scale with MG. Most other slots (from other casino software) produce crap. - not all, mind you, but a good many.

Plus - I really like the completely different bonuses available in 1 single slot. That makes it a bit more interesting and fun when you have 3 sets of scatters each with a bonus (1 doubles as a wild), another bonus (not scatter, but typical 3 on a payline), and good wins EVERY time you get a bonus

I guess I am biased because I have been playing for some time now and just keep winning

Maybe I will change my tune when I lose. Hope that comes later than sooner.

But the odds of hitting anything remotely decent on these are very slim...whereas the Treasur Hunter bonus rounds are very large EACH and EVERY TIME. I really enjoyed playing it last night myself..the free spin bonus round hit for no less than $250 on 5-6 free spins and 9-12 multiplier EVERY time..It even rang up to over $360 on one 6 spin session..

The other two bonus rounds were just as exciting..no les than $225.00 for the Tiger bonus and jewel bonus round..then the jewel is wild to boot and a scatter if you only get two..now..

I don't think MG can compare any game to this for "Big Three" will suck you dry and only give up the goods very seldom..and only has the "Free Spin" bonus whereas the Treasure Hunter has 4 bonus rounds which include, the maps (2 for a scatter pay and three for choosing your path to the treasure) , the jewels (match play multiplier, and is wild and a scatter if only 2 are hit anywhere), the tiger (also a scatter pay if 2 are hit anywhere , and matching the jewels for the idols eyes when 3 are hit) , and the hunter ( 2 for a scatter pay on 1st 2 reels, and 3 for the free spin)

Really a very good slot with lots of different bonuses and great payouts.. and I got to cash out on my very first visit after playing for 4 hours!

Here's another fun rule:

Any action relating to this agreement will be governed by the laws of a jurisdiction of our choosing.

So let's see... hypothetical situation - they're in Australia, I'm in the US. I win big, and they choose to apply the laws of Afghanistan (where all forms of gambling are illegal)?

Does anyone know where they are based out of anyway? Their web site claims that they are licensed by the big K, but the Kahnaw�:ke Gaming Commission web site indicates otherwise:
