I deposited at Ladbrokes on Saturday £34 got a 100% bonus the money was gone in less than 30 minutes I then received a £25 bonus on Sunday this was gone in 10 minutes today received another £25 bonus again gone in 20 minutes (10 of this playing a tournament).
I know theres bad luck but i even got down to playing 10 lines at 1p to keep the game play going and still nothing I have been playing on Micrgaming casinos since about 2005 and I have never seen my money go like this last week I won £25 worth of bonus points on Gaming Club again gone within a few minutes.
I know this has been discussed before and people say that the casinos cannot change the payout ratio without contacting Microgaming but to me since July when I won £1800 and was playing with the money for a week and got the money up from £100 now I don't get 30 minutes play.
You're thinking of RTG, Microgaming operators CANNOT change the payouts at all. Not even MICROGAMING change the payouts across the board.
Published aggregate payout figures (monthly & audited) suggested that MGS slots pay at about 95%. This was verified by a detailed study some years ago, gathering the reel strips, and calculating the RTP for those slots where everything was visible (such as free spins). From this, it turned out that MGS slots vary about 1% either side of 95%, if anything many pay more, rather than less. For progressives, the 95% figure INCLUDES the contributions to the pool, and base game payouts are lower, 88% in the case of Mega Moolah, which was calculated using reel strips.

Depending on which slot is played, this can happen, and quite often too. The higher the variance, the more likely you are to see £68 vanish in as little as 10 minutes.
During the 32Red slotsmeister, I often play Thunderstruck variants at 9p per spin. Sometimes, I have seen £50 hoovered up in a VERY short space of time, and in little over 1000 spins. This is certainly not the norm, but neither can it be classed as "rare". Equally, I have won £100, even £200, on nothing but 9p spins due to a sequence of high paying free spins rounds. Had I not been playing the slotsmeister, I could easily have withdrawn £200, even £300 once, from a £50 deposit and only 9p spins.
£1800 from a £100 balance is pretty good (did it myself last week as a matter of fact
) Found the cashout button at £1800 (unlike the previous week
for which I was duly reprimanded)
£1800 would fund 36 £50 deposits, and if each was done with a 100% bonus would provide £3600 spread out into 36 separate attempts to win again.
I have found that MGS can go "on the suck" in one place, but switching between both games and casinos (and different bonus offers) spreads the risk, and often there is the opportunity to cash out. The problem is IDENTIFYING that opportunity, and at the RIGHT TIME. The desire to press home the advantage can sometimes reap rewards, but equally can lead to ruin. This desire to run with a winning streak, rathet than cash out immediately, is how casinos make their money. We know that players who DO work out where the cashout button is, and USE it whenever they can, often get accusations of "bonus abuser", "advantage player", "not playing within the spirit of...." thrown at them.
