Amazing Hitman offer from Jackpot Factory

[SlotsWizard]

Just got this email from a Jackpot Factory casino:

The Hitman is on the loose!

Play our Hit game Hitman this week...for free!

Just deposit and play at least 50 credits between 6:00 p.m. EDT Thursday, May 24 and 12:00 a.m. EDT Sunday, May 27, and you’ll receive 5 free spins on Hitman.

Want to earn even more free spins?

Deposit and play 100 credits or more and we will reward you with 15 free spins!!!

Your free spins will be activated by Sunday, May 27.

There are so many things wrong with this "promotion" that I don't even need to bother pointing them out.

Well I would if I were going to take them up on the offer, but, I think I will pass on this one.

The last time they had a Hitman promotion like this I think they used a 0.10 coin size and either 10 or all 15 lines (1 coin per line).

It's a penny-ante promotion, but nothin wrong with it.

Expected loss from wagering $50 on a 1% edge gameis 50 cents. 10 spins are probably going to be worth at least a couple bucks of bonus money.

'snot that bad.

Considering I once didn't hit a thing on 19 spins in a row playing Hitman I wouldn't jump on that .

Those are better results than I've had... lol

But what gets me is that in order to get something "free" you merely have to fork over some money... I would not exactly call that free...

not fork over, play. casinos give promotions to attract business to their sites. by forcing you to give action, they stand to make money on the offer, rather than just giving away free spins/money. if bonuses had no wr attached, what incentive would we have not to just take the money and run? and it does not say "lose $50 and we'll give you 5 free spins", it says "play $50 and get 5 free spins" you could very well gain some while making fifty or a hundred bucks worth of spins. if you playthrough 100, you get 15 free spins which is like a bonus round for free, just for playing. i don't know if those "ladbrokes scratchies" kk always writes about have any losing tickets or if all were >=5. anyway, some would prefer 15 free spins to a predetermined scratchy with a set value (possibly zero/loser even), because over the promo spins you'll win something for sure and indeed an outside chance of winning something big (or maybe you'll hit the bonus round in your promo spins).

agreed the wording "play hitman for free" is somewhat misleading given what the deal is, but this is not by a longshot the first or worst case of this sort of behaviour. and indeed some people are saying it ain't too bad a deal for the "cautious lowroller" like kk. a shot at free cash just for playing a small sum on slots - which many people will do on a regular day anyway without any incentive - can't be a bad thing. maybe don't go out of your way just to get it, but if you're at all interested in slots, why not be working toward something? if the prize is not good enough, then take on a standard cashable bonus that will carry a much larger wr than $100. i don't fault them for giving this promotion, and kk et al. could very well be licking their chops at this prospect. surprised he has not chimed in on this, the thread must not be very old yet.

There were some losing cards, but I only got 3 losers out of the 13 cards I was awarded.
But I also got 2 x £50 & 2 x £100

Half way through the month they dumped the scratchcards for a 'Lucky Draw' which does pay £5 minimum every day.
So far I have 'won' over £550 in bonus credits (WRx4) from about £2,700 worth of wagering... and there's still 7 more days yet!
I'm very surprised that more Meister members are not making use of this excellent promo

If the Jackpot Factory wagering does not have to be on Hitman itself, then I agree it is a good little promo and I might check it out later....

Perhaps Ladbrokes never told them.
They once asked me why I didn't play anymore, and I mentioned the promotions were not as good as other MG sites.
Well, they listened, and then didn't bother giving me any feedback, nor did they tell me that they had somewhat spiced up the promotions.
Maybe I got banned from them, so there was no need to tell me.
The tale above looks like a much better promotion, even more so since they are still only asking for 4xWR!

I`ve been offered the same promotion from this group and if the free spins were on any other game i might have considered the offer but seeing as hitman is totally and utter crap and the chances of you even getting 1 win spin on 5 free spins is very low this is a bad offer imo. Ive had thousands of spins on this and cant recall ever hitting anything good on this craptacular slot. Still never mind ill wait for their next one lol
