Anyone try this casino? I tried it today and they had alot of fun real video slots. They have this game called 'as the reels turn" and you advance to different screens and have bonus spins.

It was kind of fun, not alot of choices like MG, but enough to keep you entertained and try new games. They also have an immediate 100% match up to $350 for the bonus lovers!!

There was a pretty long thread about them a few months back when they introduced the second crime slot (the painting stealing one). The consensus seemed to be that it was too tight and the wins were too small.

I used to like their 3-reel slots, but ever since they changed the graphics I haven't won squat, so I uninstalled.

They seem like a good outfit, I'm just not donating money to their slots anymore.

I just gave this group another shot at my money this week and they really are a good group except for the fact that you never win, or maybe I should say win ENOUGH to withdraw...

example..bet $3.75 max win usually is $7.50...how lame is that for this size bet? Bet .75 cents get .30cent return..lame, lame, lame...there was a discussion on this group but I guess they decided not to listen to the players advice....stop inventing new ripoffs and start paying out fairly...

For the amount you play per spin and the return it gives you is truly a ripoff, but they really are nice about it.

I have never withdrawn from here and this is the ONLY casino I have never withdrawn from EVER. Every once in a while I return to them to see if they have listened but don't saty long knowing within minutes, they haven't. That might help ya I hope

They definitely need to improve their slots wins. I don't think there is a game on there that has a win large enough to be worth it.

At least in my experience.

I love the games, though, even though they don't pay. Sure wish they could fix that.

Hello all,

As you know I visit Casinomeister everyday, and so threads like this really do catch my eye. When the initial thread came up, I went to our slots team and we discussed how we could improve the player experience. Some new tools were written to analyze pay-out and hit frequency, and we've used these tools to enhance the games. The changes were launched about 60 minutes ago on all Rival Powered casinos. I would like to emphasize that the games' payback rates have remained around the same - anywhere from 95% to 98%, but we feel that the game play has definitely changed for the better!

The games do vary - as you know, some people prefer lower-medium wins more frequently, while other players may prefer the occasional bigger win. Each of the slots differ in its variance and "feel", but the changes should result in a more interesting game now.

I'd be very interested in getting your feedback on these games. You can post here or you can PM me, or email me at rob AT rivalgaming DOT com.

Cheers,

Rob

What took you so long?

...as you know, some people prefer lower-medium wins more frequently, while other players may prefer the occasional bigger win.

Count me in the latter category - really can't get excited about 2x my bet or less - but you're right. Variation is the key

Now I think this is the way a REAL casino should react

I will certainly give them a go again and see if I am a bit happier with the results.

Good work CocoaRob/Rival

This has been an issue that I have addressed to you before Rob, yes you claim 95-98% payouts, you can play the slots for hours but can never win anything big, regardless of what you say I have played more than enough spins in real and fun mode to see. I think its great that you respond like you genuinely care, however I believe Rival is a big sham, it is set up not to payout, you can try to fool the masses but the proof is in the games, it is already starting to show in the responses, your no fool, compared to the other "reputable" software providers Rivals ability to win a sum large enough to cash out are non existent, I guess if your the type of gambler that feels value comes in time spent spinning your the right choice, hell I can make $5 last 30 mins playing your games, but when it comes to actually hitting something decent your at the back of the pack. Rival has seen its last penny from me until improvements happen and I hope all the rest of you players that have noticed this trend will follow, only then we may se changes. With all due respect Rob as this is not an attack on yourself.

Hi all, I played Coco after the last thread mentioned above...I used the bonus to play war....managed to cash out but forgot how much..I think $75? It cashed quickly to. I did re-deposit but didnt do as well, there just were not enough games there to interest me although the first time I played I played the Cow slot and hit $40 on a low bet.

I cancelled my account only cause I didnt like the games. The CS's were very nice and efficient. I got $7 in the account that Im not supposed to have.....hmmmm Forgot to cancel my mailer!

Just and fyi for those who asked.
