Rival Casino the Worst Casino Software???

[Richard]

Is Rival Casino One of the worst casino software out? I mean you can bet your ass on slots and it pays almost nothing on 3 or 4 symbols. The only way to get a decent pay. If you get lucky and get a bonus round. You can go many spins and wont even get a win. In 10 years of playing online casinos. I have NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER made a cashout from a rival casino. This has to be the worst software out. WoW!

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but I've made cash outs from several Rivals, and I only really started playing online casinos since last summer.

IMHO they are either VERY VERY good or absolutely TERRIBLE. It's the "variance" that you read about on the forum. I haven't had a cashout in 6 months. Before that probably 5 good ones and last December 6 or so within two weeks all at different ones. I haven't given up yet..just a little frustrating!

Depositing money into Rival. That's what I'm doing wrong. Rival is a money pit. IMHO this is the worst group of casinos I've ever seen. Their slot payout is awful. Im sticking to Microgaming they seem to know how to design slots. Rival should take a lesson from MG. I have closed all but 1 Rival casino and after X-mas its GONE! Rival and Top Gaming is in the recycle bin.

That's funny...I've cashed out a LOT more from Rivals and even RTG than from MG.

I've made several good cashouts from Rivals, but not lately, I agree with oldtrvlagt, it all or nothing.
I've had some unbelievable good runs last summer, but October and especially November were a nightmare, with no cashouts at all and hardly any decent wins.

I agree with you that some of the slots have terrible paytables, I tend to avoid these, as they never seem to pay and I always wonder how on earth these slots can reach their RTP percentage.
Secret Garden for example, holy christ on a blue bike, how can you possibly WIN anything on that crapslot?
The line payouts are even worse than Scar Rich 2, no expanding wilds or wild multipliers, freespins only have a 2x multiplier and scatters don't pay.
Gave it another try yesterday at Tropica, got 60 free spins due to retriggers for a total of 17x bet!
Looking at the paytable this slot is very high variance, but I really wonder where the good side of the variance is, must be that bonusround..

Compare it with one of my favourites, So 80's, now THAT slot has a decent paytable, wilds give a 3x multiplier when completing a win, scatters pay as they should pay and 3 of them trigger 15 free spins with another 3x multiplier!

Maybe one day I'll find out how you can win anything on Secret Garden, Fantasy Fortune and Hobo's Hoard..until then, I'll stick to my favourites.

[zap987]

Yes, the good wins on Secret Garden come from the bonus round when getting it during freespins. Still don't think I've ever seen more than 200x bet or so. Same with Fantasy Fortune and Hobo's Hoard really.

hmm.. seems like people experiencing totally differences..

for me its like this: i started online gambling with playtech casinos. after i explored casinomeister i have switched to some rtg casinos. now iam mostly on rival. it depends i still play here and there sometimes...
so you can say i was hooked to playtech, rtg and rival. next one should be microgaming, right?

all i can say iam mostly lowroller and my average bet size is about 50cent. i had enourmous hits on rival slots. its only! the features with the expanding wilds which cause these incrdible wins.

i found the rival slots very entertaining, esspecially the islots. and youre right, the variance is brutal, either you bust out or you hit big features.

and there also some which can pay good line hits. my favourite slots on rival are scary 1 and 2, psychedelic 60s, fixer upper.

i play them 99% if i play rival and made some good cashins, way better than on rtg.

this is just personal experience but the rival software is really innovative and far from crap


ps: have you tried slotocash casino? for my experience its the best rival out there.



cheers

Whenever I play at Rival it feels like all the effort and imagination has gone into creating the visual appeal of the slot. The asthetics may be pleasing to the eye, but the way these slots seem set up is unlike all the other software out there. The RTP may be inline with what you would expect from slots, but the long spells of hitting absolutly nothing is quite boring.

Call me old fashioned but the old uns are the best, much more simpler and much more fun to play. Plus you always know where you stand with them.
Going 40 odd spins and hitting nothing at all, means you need a decent size bankroll to cope with this kind of streakiness.

But its about variation, having a stable of casinos from each platform you are happy with. In my stable of casinos there is only 1 Rival and for now I intend to keep it that way.

The ones I find are lucrative are Cosmic Quest 1 and 2, Cleopatra Coins, Scary Rich 1 and 2 and Jacques Pot - I play Secret Garden less for the wins and more because I just like it. Same with Future Fortunes.
