Rival, RTG or MG?

Unfortunately, I am unable to help in this regard as last night I was gobbled up and spat out by MG, RTG, and Rival. When my QT is empty (very soon) I'll take another break. This is not fun -- not when that huge sucking sound is coupled with the fees and PITA of trying to deposit.

I know we're supposed to lose in the long run. But aren't there supposed to be times that we can at least play for more than 5 minutes? I'm a very low roller these days and still can't get more than a very few minutes play. I only got $5 above my starting balance once last night and then sluuuuuuurp... that deposit was gone, too. And it happens again and again and again and....

I have begun to understand how players begin to feel cheated, or profiled, or whatever (on casinos' $hitlist). It's not a good feeling.

Have you tried the 3-reel games at Rival, especially gold rush and flea market? I admit they aren't the most fun to watch on autoplay but if you stop spinning at the first big hit and move on to another 3-reel for a while, the bankroll grows. When it's high enough, go to video or i-slots. I cashed out $2000 last weekend with modest deposits and played 3 hours last night on a $7 freebie and was well over $100 at one point.

Yes, that's where I got above starting balance, but then it went sluuuuurp...

I'm surprised that Rival slots don't get more attention here from slots lovers. The expected returns on some of these slots seem way above average for online casinos. For example, Fantasy Fortune has an expected return of 98.15% and Hole in Won has an expected return of 99.51%, which is virtually the same as the lofty Jacks-or-Better Video Poker (99.54%). Of course, variance plays a big role in whether one reaches these expected returns in a night's worth of betting, and Rival doesn't publish variances as it does expected returns. But, hey, I'm not complaining. Rival, unlike its competitors, has done gamblers a great service by publishing the expected returns of all their slots.

I was more than a bit surprised to read this as I didn't think any Rival slots went that high...
So I just checked on Paradise 8, and that agrees with Hole in Won (much to my amazement!), but not with Fantasy Fortune, where they say the return is 96.56%
Where did you get your figures from...?

Sorry, I meant Future Fortunes, not Fantasy Fortune!

Anyway, I got the figures from This Is Vegas Casino, but I also checked the other Rival casinos (SlotoCash, Mayan Fortune, and Davincis Gold) on my computer, and all of them agreed with the expected returns I listed for Future Fortunes and Hole in Won slots.

Seems my recent posts have been negative towards certain casinos so I wanted to give kudos to some others. I recently had several withdrawals between $500 and $1000 at Casino US (MG) and Pantasia (Rival) and they were all paid out in 48 hours (via quicktender). Gaming is actually fun when you play at sites that do what they say!

Sounds good!
But could you qualify that by revealing which country you are in, only "The ATL" means absolutely nothing to me...
