Cheers!

�4.50 is enough for me to stake - managed to force myself a little cashout too, which is unusual! Glad I left a little bit of playing money in there though! Heh hee...

Sure hope there wasn't a cashout limit on that free chip since this is something from Vegas Lucky's site:

Any promotional credit received by the Casino Administration has minimum wagering requirements of 10 times the bonus on slots and a maximum cash out of 10 times the bonus unless otherwise stated.

I hate that... What's the point of giving someone a free chip then restricting their winnings if they happen to beat the odds!?!? You give a free chip out to regular customers - ensuring they continue to feel good and stay loyal to your casino.

Limiting the winning potential would just make me never want to play there again... I mean, it's not as though it's *really* free after all, is it? They're only giving a tiny bit back of what you've spent/lost there - or trying to encourage winners back in... I can sort of understand a small wagering requirement, but to limit the winning potential takes all the fun and point out of playing in casinos in the first place.

Some online casinos have got it so wrong.

Either give out the free chips, and take it on the chin when 1% or whatever get lucky off it... Or don't. Don't half give it, only on the condition you don't actually win too much.

One casino chucks a few quid here and there into my account every now and again. The emails always say something along the lines of "I've deposited �xxx into your account, no strings - just to say thanks for playing... Good luck!" I've cashed in reasonable sized amounts a couple of times off the free chips, but guess what - I've always gone back to play and lose there in the future. There's so much competition out there, and players are extremely fickle. That sort of nonsense behaviour just discourages any sort of player/casino loyalty being established.

Shouldn't be an issue. I experienced a software "glitch" and wasn't paid for a winning hand in blackjack when I played with the $20 free chip. They corrected the error and gave me an "un-restricted" $140 bonus to make things right. I won this with that bonus. I'm expecting to be paid the full $700, but one never really knows untill it makes it into your netellar account.

Nice win maggots. Call me stupid but i just cant see the win - it must be those two blue symbols yes? I can't get on with slots like that - Give me a nice fluffy symbol line-up anyday

I agree with Slotster on the bonus thing to. Keep it easy to understand or the customer gets pi55ed off and you could lose them. Just good sensible business advice really.

The win was accumulated in the bonus spins I won, not the screen pictured. As for slotsters point....it really doesn't apply in my case. I've never deposited there, it was a $20 welcome chip. I'm greatful to the casino for giving it to me and when I had a problem playing there the support was outstanding and very gracious to me. I have nothing to complain about what so ever. If they chose to hold me to the terms another poster here mentioned.....I will accept that too. No complaints at all here just a big smile

You can really go off some people

tell me a bit more about Get Minted Slotster. I came across them when one of the guys came in to my web design company for a chat some time back when i worked there but how does the s/ware play...what are the games like in general?

Hmm... I have mixed opinions really (This relates to both Get Minted and Virgin Games as they're almost identical in every respect).

I initially enjoyed them a lot, and spent a lot of time there! Then there was a mix up with a small deposit match where they got my accounts at the two casinos confused. It was all resolved, but kind of left a bad taste in my mouth, so I only pop in there when there's something a bit 'extra' to tempt me back

To be fair, subsequently the customer service at both casinos have been excellent and very prompt.

Anyhow - onto the games! I spend as much time as possible in Las Vegas, and these slots are without question the closest to the real thing! The way they play, the sound effects, the features etc - identical in every respect to their real life equivalents. A lot of them keep you alive with small wins a lot longer than some of the MG/Crypto ones do too! The only downside being that the real BIG wins are much fewer and farther between than you get with Microgaming. For example, your average feature win is going to be something between 100-500 coins, which equates to not that much when you take the stake into account (In order for that to be pounds, you'd need be betting �45 a spin!! - It's not unusual though for a �2.25 stake to net you a few hundred quid on Spring Break, Thunderstruck etc etc..) It is really nice when the occasional five symbol wins line up like the one above though! Very similar to Crypto in the way the payout jumps enormously from four symbols to five. There's some nice little touches to the (non downloaded/flash) software too, like automatically adjusting your bet size if your credits deplete below the max, and skipping the intro movies/feature graphics if you minimise the window.

As for video poker - I really feel like it's the best place to play from a payout perspective. The graphics/gameplay are nowhere near the standard of Microgaming, and can be a bit choppy... I've only EVER won on video poker there though! Seriously, it seems to have excellent payback. Now I realise this is probably just me being lucky on the few times I've played, but Virgin is the only place I've hit a 4600 coin jackpot win (Five of a kind Joker Poker - see screenshot somewhere on this thread), despite playing at other video poker sites way way way way way WAY more. Lots of fours of a kind etc too... Strangely, I still don't play video poker that much - but that's because the slots always lure me back in

One final point on Get Minted too, is that they do offer very regular match/free chip bonuses etc... I seem to get emails almost weekly either matching my deposits or telling me I've got some free money to play with, hence why I ended up back there today! Very similar to Belle Rock in that regard, in that they seem very proactive with their marketing and keeping on top of their customer base. It's a bit unusual in that you have play the wagering requirements PRIOR to receiving the bonus back - but at least you know it's all yours when it arrives.

Ultimately, there's still not one casino out there to touch the fun of Microgaming - and the overall quality and performance of 32RED. There are however some pleasant enough diversions out there for when I fancy something a little different
