200% Slot only bonus with 20x req ?

**Kaynos72** · 14th July 2007, 10:36 PM

First thing first, i never played any bonus, so i'm wondering...

If i make a 50$ deposit, i get 150$ to play.

150x20 = 3000$

Do you seriously think that i can make 3000$ worth of slots spins with 150$ and still have money ? I guess i need to be EXTREMELY lucky to succeed ? I feel like i'm just giving them my 50$ for free....

Which Casino is it?

If it's a RTG Casino, you can, because i've make it also on iNetBet without any problems, but you should certainly play only wit 20 cent bets

Sure you can .
I start out betting low and if I win I bet up .
Good luck

Sure, 20 times wagering is pretty good for a large bonus nowadays. It's done all the time. But remember to read the fine print.

Yes it's Inet, ok thanks. Was just wondering how to proceed, so i should stick with 20c bet until i win, the increase progressively ? This will take a hell of a lot of time lol.

You mean the mistery bonus, am i right?

I could at one time payout about $ 400, but i started at first with $ 1 bets and had the luck, that i've won directly a little bit and hitted directly a feature (free spins), but after that i palyed only with 20 cents and the $ 3,000 WR could be done within 30 hours on a 20 cent bet

If it had been an MG casino I would have said you have about a 75% chance of making it.
But RTG...? More like 25-30%.
Quite a bit depends on which slots you chose, but mostly you need some good luck and the will power NOT to chase losses, and NOT to push your luck too far on one machine.
I would definitely start at 20 or 40c, maybe even reduce the number of win lines as well.
If things were going very well (your bank is rising fast), or you're near to busting, then I would think about a few $1 spins.

Good luck!

ive always had my best luck making my w/r on goldbeard and penguin power at .40 and then build up to 1.00 or 2.00 bets if your hitting the free spins.but do try several games those two are my favs. and sunken treasure also, got a red jewel on a 40. bet and 2 blue ones , a nice little payoff

Two ways to look at any bonus. First is to calculate the expected loss from the playing. If we assume that the slot has a payout of 95% (might be slightly optimistic for most RTGs), then the house has an advantage of 5%.

$3000 (your playthrough) times .05 is $150.

In other words, over the long term, with the bonus, you are expected to lose exactly your deposit + bonus by the time you finish the WR. In other words, the bonus is not profitable, and you're still giving up money to the casino.

If you want to play the bonus just to extend your playtime, then that's cool. Slots being slots, you'll probably lose your entire bonus+deposit the majority of the time, and then have the occasional big win.

In fact, if you start playing a bonus like that aggressively enough, it will actually begin to tip the profitability in your favor. (the idea is that if you bust out quickly, you don't play as much against the house edge, and your few wins are REALLY big). It's not a technique I personally like, because slots are too high variance for me most of the time.

Oh, so anyway, I have no particular advice on what to play. Play really small if you just want to play as much as possible. Play big if you want to go for a big win.

I agree, bet big unless you're just doing it because you like to watch the slots spin. Hit the big win and then grind it out on smaller bets if you wish.
