Looking back - it seems my biggest wins came from my smaller deposits and bets

[immortality]

Tonight I was thinking of my biggest wins and came to the realization that large deposits and large bets are entirely unnecessary.

Circa: 2009 - I hit 3 random jackpots at the Rushmore group, totaling over $40,000. I had deposited $100 and taken a 200% bonus, hit Sunken Treasure for over 10 grand and went on to hit another on Diamond Dozen for another 20 grand, then hit Mystic Dragon for over 11k. I had never bet over $1.20 on any of those games, at least when hit.

Same year - I hit Mystic Dragon at Casino Titan off a $200 deposit, taking a 100% match bonus, playing 75c per spin, while out shopping for groceries on autoplay. Came home to find that I had hit over $5500.

This year I had around $9 left out of a $50 deposit and hit a $2600 random at Bodog, playing Witches & Wizards.

This year again- Hit 2 randoms at Slotastic for over $12,000. This one again resulted from a $100 deposit with a 100% match bonus. We all know it's easy to make playthough, once you have a huge bank.

What I find astonishing, is the fact that when I put a large deposit in and bet like I have money, I get my ass absolutely kicked off the planet. I can't explain it, but it seems like RTG lays in wait for someone to make those large bets and summarily will hand you your ass and a broken bankroll back to you.

If I was doing as well as you have this year,I'd be overjoyed, I find that the smaller you deposit,the less anxious you feel which in turn leads to choosing the correct game to play, btw the most I've EVER won is £1000, though £1000 5 times in 4 years along with smaller wins, so if I were you, I'd count my blessings, congrats.

I make small deposits because I find that wins don't depend on deposit size, but rather, whether you are on a hot streak of luck. So even if you deposit only $25, a couple of 200x bet wins and there you go.

totally agree. my 2 biggest wins were from deposits of around 20 euro. and it's a state of mind thing I think.. you play more cautiously.

My biggest ever win was on a $20 deposit with a $20 match bonus. I hit $5K on a $3 bet on Bullseye, and my balance was $60 at the time I was playing.

I've usually found my biggest wins have been when I have bonus to complete wagering on, often because I get impatient trying to meet the WR with larger bets and hit something decent or a hail mary when I have only a couple of bucks left and I don't have much hope of redemption on 25cent bets.

I'm more apt to deposit $40 or $50 than $20 most times however, and it's pretty usual for me to deposit $100 with a good offer from 32Red. I find it easier to complete wagering at MG casinos than RTG. Mind you, I've never hit a random with them, or I might feel differently. You won't get too many $3K or $11K hits on a 25 or 50 cent bets elsewhere mostly.

I think the advice that a small deposit can only lead to a small loss spot on. I always play a little more recklessly when I'm nearing the end of my evening playing if I've managed decent playtime. If you get "up" you can play a little looser or bigger bets, just like we move from nickles to dollars after a decent win at a real casino.

My deposits are usually in the $100-$300 range.

Usually I don't take "phantom" bonuses any more unless it's a bigger one like the Club World ones where you deposit $150 and they give you $500. High wagering requirement -- but plenty of play time for my personal contribution. Typically need at least 200% to consider taking bonus money.

At other sites where the bonuses are fully cashable, I am more inclined if the bonus is at least 100% or more. In that case, I may deposit $250 to $500.

When the bonuses are 200% - 350% I will go for a larger deposit. Largest deposit has been $2k for a special promotion that paid off very well.

FWIW,
