Rival Slots and bonuses

[Rusty]

Out of every deposit I can ever remember making at a Rival Casino and claiming a bonus of over 100% or a no deposit bonus I do not think I have got close to completing the WR and in fact usually get below 50% return on slots.

That is not 70 or 80 or 90% but below 50%!

Now I have brought this up before and asked Rival to give an explanation and also tell us how the claimed average payout of 95%+ on their slots is achieved but to no avail.

So given the reluctance of Rival to prove my claims false I wonder how do you do on bonuses at Rival and if you have achieved a cashout how did your play go before and after this?

It seems to me that if people were getting below 50% return on the majority of their deposits Rival would not be in business long so can it be that the slots are much tighter when taking a bonus?
Certainly all the facts and figures I have from my bonus play categorically support this.

This leaves me convinced that the slots can be and are rigged to lower payout on bonus play.

So am I right or have all my experiences been exceptions to the rule?

If you have had different experiences which slots do you play?

I have played quite a bit of Rival over he last 6 months. i seem to have the revers luck. Seems on my end when ever I am locked into a playthrough I do great!! My only big rival wins was when i had a playthrough. I have had 3 cashouts on rival in the last 6 months. Two from n/d's $400 and $60 small i know but it was max cashout on the nd. Also 500 from a 100% match with a 30x. So i figured that I would play some rival w/ no bonus. I lost 400 (in 50 dollar deposits) all together w/ no wr and could not even get above my starting balance. I have no stats or % but my play sucked. Guess it is the luck of the draw. GL

I always take a bonus and I think I have gotten my balance to exceed my deposit maybe 3 times!

I am getting VERY frustrated.

I honestly don't know mate, but they are exceptions to my rule.

If you have had different experiences which slots do you play?

I play most of them, but I try to avoid the high variance games, and I hardly ever play the traditional iSlots.

For an idea as to what & how I play Rivals, have a look at my Sloto Log Oct '08.
(The $625 cash-out, second to last above)
Note: Skip the first 4 games when I went insane & nearly bust out (I was down to literally my last spin at one point!)

I really hope your luck improves soon.

Sometimes I get hits while playing with a bonus, sometimes not. Played with a bonus at Paradise8 last night and got some good hits -- all on the 3 reelers. Would have cashed out $550, but it seems I'm now limited to $500 wd , so I've got $50 in there to play on. I deposited with a card, so I fully expect (on Monday) to receive a request for docs and the faxback thingy. This one may take awhile....

I find the 3 reelers less volatile (usually) than the vid slots -- which usually gobble me up and spit me out, leaving me muttering "WTF?".

Pantasia sends me good bonus offers, but I've yet to cash out there. I'm going to uninstall it. I've got to try Sloto...

Mousey, why are you limited to a $500 withdrawal ?? Is it because of the particular bonus you used ??

They don't love me anymore....

As best I can tell, it is totally unrelated to the bonus as there was no max cash out stated in the bonus terms. This particular bonus did have a minimum cashout of 2xbonus+deposit, which I was well clear of. I've been playing at Paradise8 and DaVinci's since they were the new kids on the block and I have become rather disappointed with them.

The cashier section stated WD amounts between $25 - $500 to my web wallet. I tried entering the $550 (just for poops and giggles) and it kicked me back saying I had entered an invalid amount. I entered $500 and everything was okey dokey.

I'm curious if it has something to do with a daily limit to that particular webwallet you are using. That's odd, I've not heard of this one before...it's a new one on me.

New one on me, too. And I don't like surprises.

I sure would alert the rep from Jetset Marketing on this problem. It doesn't seem right to me either.
