Bet-on-soft? You like?

I was just checking the CM home page, pretty cool stuff with the live updates from the forum and whatnot... There is a vote there... A poll if you will...

Should the Grand Prive casinos be placed on probation? (326 Votes)
1.Yes, put them on probation - I think they have a chance to be de-rogued. (104 Votes)
2.Nope, they don't deserve to be de-pitified. (154 Votes)
3.I have a neutral stance on this. (68 Votes)

So it looks like enough of us were burned, that is not something the majority is interested in... But I have a question to the 104 proponents to the idea of slowly letting them back in toward accreditation...Anyone who plays at the other Bet-on-soft joints could answer it too:

Is the software even fun? Is it fair? I see a couple posts here and there about how ppl cashed out a free chip... And it was paid kinda promptly... But I dont see any winner screenshots... And I dont see any affiliates I really trust advertising them... And I think my biggest win was in a bonus round, at about 12x my bet... A hot streak at the Bet-on-soft casinos I have played at, for me, is getting wins on 10 of 20 spins, and averaging 1.75x bet in those wins... So I don't play there... But I would love to see evidence that would make me reconsider...


Anyone? Are these slots high variance and I just did not give them enough time? Are they fun? Which games if so? Or are they crap, bundled in a package that looks like crap, and generally, crappy?

IMO, I think some of the people who voted against weren't against the software platform, rather against Grand Prive itself. They've had several attempts to be de-rogued and have derailed right back to the pit.

So, to your question...I think Betonsoft will see more US players as other softwares seem to be slowly closing their doors to the US player. Again, just my opinion. With the MG clones giving the boot, Rival not taking new registrations, that leaves RTG and Betonsoft for the players. Very slim pickings. Also, you may want to consider the deposit/withdrawal options also slowly dwindling away. It may not be a matter of "liking" the software as much as feeding the addiction of playing anywhere available.

If Betonsoft casinos can give the players reasonable payout timeframes, they may see an increase in membership (like Rival did after the UIGEA went into effect. How many new Rivals opened in a span of 1 year, nabbing a lot of the disgruntled US players?)

With so many complaints about availability of deposit options and means to withdraw, it seems to me it isn't worth the hassle of trying to get the "fix". But again, that's just my opinion. I'm not much of a risk taker these days and just don't find it entertaining trying to fund and then worry about how to receive any winnings.

And this probably isn't what you were looking for....

Well, no... But good points anyway. And interesting argument, even if the software sucks, if they payout in a timely fashion, they may be the next big US provider...

Any comments on the games?

I only played a few times when Mandarrin Palace opened it's doors. I wasn't impressed with the game play or the games so I really am not a good source for providing input on that. Sorry.

I play alot at Bet On Soft casinos so I think I can give you some good answers to your questions

I play at all of them, including the Grand Prive casinos, but for the purpose of this thread I will just stick to my experience with the Genesys group (Lucky Creek, Mandarin Palace, Wizbet, Grand Eagle, and Treasure Mile).

I personally love the software. A fresh change of pace to the usual fare, and I find the games quite fun. I just play blackjack, videopoker, and video slots....the blackjack is just what you get at all other softwares.....seems ok, but i still have a sneaking suspicion that is just a slot game with cards instead of reels, and is RTP based and not a real card game (of course I feel that way about all softwares, so.....) The video poker is very fair with good paytables. I have had excellent luck on both single and multihand varieties. As far as the slots....well they are pretty tight, but you can hit some doozies. I would say that there is a good mix of high variance and low variance. A quick glance at the paytables should help you figure these out....some of them have no multipliers with free spins, others have 4x, etc etc.

A few of the higher variance video slots that I enjoy playing would be: The Purse of the Mummy, Fistful of Dollars, Captain Shockwave, and Wild Berry. They also seem to add games quite often.

As far as winner screenshots goes....Im not sure either why you don't see very many. I have posted quite a few, but not recently....you could search my posts in the winner screenshots thread and find em. I always had a hard time resizing Bet on Soft screenshots, not sure why,...so I didn't post all of the ones I had.

Anyways, overall, I think the software is pretty fair.....slots a little tight, but waayyy better than Rival. And they always pay pretty fast.

I agree with your condensed version of how they play. I, too, play there and have been playing there for quite a while. They are my main platform now since we lost MG...Now with RTG , I have stayed away from due to lack of play/withdrawals. I do not play at 3Dice either for the same reason even if I still like their games, I can't afford them . The pool of casinos definitely is getting smaller and smaller for USA players..and hopefully these casinos will treat us well and reap the rewards of doing so.

I like playing for nickles...on all these slots. You can adjust your bet up and down just like any other place but for some reason..playing nickles has netted me a lot more wins and withdraws..vs pennies..I tend to lose too quickly with pennies. I definitely like your choice of games, it seems I like the same slots as you do funeral979.

What I usually do and recommend anyone that is thinking of changing platforms is to play for a set amount (such as $100) IN FUN MODE and see how long it takes to lose your bankroll. This is what made me choose them. Playing in fun for me turned out to play just like real which I noticed right away..with many hits and wins...that is why I play there..

not sure if this answers your question, but I do like bet-on-soft software...
not a big fan of grand prive group, but i do like genesys. I have had a few cashouts and they were processed in about 3 days...
I think the above posters are right...living in the usa, you don't really have that many options. here are some screen shots from deposits. i'm a low roller..never deposit over $25 - $30.

[funeral979]

Those screenshots remind me....I dunno if anyone else plays that slot City of Gold....but man is it HARD to get the bonus screen in that game.

Been playing that slot for a year and a half at all 12 Bet on Soft casinos and only reached the bonus screen once. It did pay handsomely though....nice hit!

[leonardo99]

BetOnSoft it's not the same time with Grand Prive . Betonsoft soft it's used by some good casinos Grand Eagle, TReasureMille, Mandarine Palace etc. I played some time ago, and got some nice winnings from some free chips (spins) and my cashout was paid without any problems.
This was my first time I played on Betonsoft..after that I made 2-3 little deposits..but no cashout..anyway I like the games and the playtime was ok for me.

I've only played a couple of times at Mandarin and never cashed out, but I don't mind the games - I actually really dig that Sparta one if you can hit it when it's paying, I like the atmosphere of it. And you can really rack up the chips if you can hit the feature and retrigger a few times when it's paying out.
