Received an email from DaVincisGold offering a match bonus of 39900%.There is no wagering requirement,you deposit £25 and are given £10000 to play with.There is no max cashout or wagering requirement and you are given 2 hours to get your balance up to £100,000 and if you do,you can cash out.No intention of taking this,offers like this scream 'rogue' but i was wondering if this was the highest offer ever to come from any casino.

And they limit your betting amount to 20c a spin................. LMAO! Just kidding! Can you imagine trying to get your balance that high (in 2 hours) with a max bet of 20c a spin!
 
I have been Skyping with the guy who actually sets up these promos (who was also present when the first 4 Rival casinos went live in 2006 - including this one) and he reports that a few players have actually made the WR on these promos & cashed-out (they have several different ones which are similar in bonus % and target).
Obviously it is EXTREMELY unlikely that you will reach the target cash-out amount in 2-hours - but it is possible with hell of a lot of good luck.

FYI the limits on SOME slots is 37.50/spin, with others being lower. I know they are reviewing this at the moment, so anyone thinking of taking one of these offers should check with the casino before they start to find out what the limit is on each game they intend to play.

So if you make it how much do they let you cash out?

£100,000?

If that is the case why would anybody not take that chance for £25 and 2 hours of your life?
Yes, you can ONLY cash out 100,000 - no more, no less. BUT the cash-outs may subject to their cash-out limits which I believe to be 2,000 per week (though I was told the latest winner got a lot more than that for their first cash-out). I will get clarification on this.

Why not take it? You would have to be RIDICULOUSLY lucky to meet the target. The max bet on SOME slots is 37.50/spin (others are less) - even at that level you would have to hit a MEGA-WIN or 3 or 4 Bet x1,000+ wins in 2 hours. I had a go myself, but fell WAY short of the target.
You have to think of a promo like this as a "lottery" - you have a very tiny chance of winning, but you never know...

Which slots?

Just on the promo now, all slots appear low variance - which ones offer best (!) chance of big hits?

If they allow Max Bet ($20) on Flea Market, then you could hit $100,000 in a single spin. Astral Luck is another game that pays massive if you hit a bonus round during free spins.

If I played this bonus, I would go for the 666 Free Spins on Scary Rich 3 triggered by 5 scatters. We have had a few players hit it on our brands, so it is doable :)

With only two hours of playtime it is not the free spins you need as much as a chance of a big hit, you could do the 2 hours at $20 without running out of money. I agree that bonus spin pays usually have multipliers so for that reason they would be worth having.

*********************

If a smidgen of the rules are not followed they probably won't let the player cash out at all.

I used to play there, and really enjoyed their games.
One time I played with a bonus and neglected to "zero" out my balance. Either I didn't know the new
rule existed or it was rewritten, I don't know which, but I didn't know that I had to zero anything below one dollar. In fact a that time most games would not allow play below the minimum amount per line.----------Yes-------it was long long ago!

I didn't clear the wager requirements and left ONE penny in my account.

Later I deposited my own money---no bonus---and played video poker. I won a $4000.00 Royal Flush and tried to cash it out.

They refused to cash it because I had not cleared that one penny.
When I asked them 'why' they said that I HAD REQUESTED MY WITHDRAWAL BE REVOKED.

A long time later when I was playing another Rival casino, I was banned quite a long time after I had been playing there. The service person was very nice on the phone, but said they had received notice that I had had a charge back in the past-----which was totally untrue.

SO----beware----it can truly be too good to be true.

I'd rather trust Michael Jackson with a boy scout brigade than a Rival Casino.
BUT, supposing they were actually honest:

You have a tiny chance of succeeding; a lottery as somebody said.
IF you succeeded AND they actually intended to pay you, could you put up with relying on them to send you 2k every week for a year?

I didn't think so.
 
Well I had to have a crack at this.

Here's how it panned out, roughly:

Start with 10k. 1st game Jacques Pot and his Gourmet of Shite. Took me down to 8k on £20 spins before coughing up a 4k bonus plus some extras. Balance 14k.

2nd Game - Spy Game. £37.50 spins. Go from 14k down to 2k with 3 bonus rounds, none paid more than 23x stake. Bonus 4 and I am sitting on 2k, pays out 4k as I complete the first mission (bomb). Sitting on 6k now, about an hour to go. Dead spins take me down to £400 then I hit a bonus. Pays 10x stake.

Bust.

It absolutely destroyed me. I have never, ever seen this game play this bad. I know it's high variance, but I didn't see a reel win over 10x stake (my stop trigger) for over £6000 (of my balance).

How depressing. Had about half hour left.

What's called in online slots terms 'a donation'. I compare this offer to casinos like Guts giving everybody 10 free spins on DoA. One player out of 10000 will get the freespins and a 5-wild 5 extra spins within their 10. Only in DaVinci's case the other 9999 players have more than paid for the winner's prize - if they eventually pay it.
