Phantom/sticky bonus

**yoshirules** · 12th April 2009, 09:21 PM

Hi

I'm a little bit new to casino gaming.
I'm only in to slots. And I saw at Vegas towers a 100% deposit match, but its sticky/phantom.
Is this for playing only slots a good or bad thing?

Thanks for answering

Generally I'd say phantom bonuses are crap for slots players.

The only 2 ways they can really be of benefit is to do a big 'double up' on another game first, but then you risk being accused of bonus abuse, or just use it to extend your playing time and therefore give you more chances of hitting a 'biggie'.

This Vegas Towers one is pretty unique because it has no WR and is phantom - most MG bonuses are cashable.
On reflection I think this is a good one because you can use it as a 'safety net'; if you get well up early on you can cash out without being tied to a huge WR, but if you get off to a diabolical start you can use the bonus to try to recover.

Good luck!

I think I'm right in saying you can claim welcome bonuses at ALL Fortune lounge casinos... so you might not have to choose!
Hopefully someone else will confirm this.

The Vegas Towers bonus is sticky with no wagering requirements. So choosing a high variance strategy and going for a big win is desirable. You might choose a high variance game, like slots and/or make large bets on a lower variance game.

Yes, you can play multiple FL bonuses. However, after claiming several sign-up bonuses from the Fortune Lounge group without non-bonus play in between, players may be banned from receiving further bonuses within the group (this likely depends with style of play and whether you make a gain & cashout). You can avoid this problem by making a deposit and playing using an existing account before claiming additional bonus offers within the group.
