Winner Screenshots!

Also had this one from yesterday...and before anyone asks, NO you dont just hold the 3 Deuces (only a 1 in 6 chance of the 4 dropping!)

The screenshot below may not look much - and in itself, it's not!
But to me, it meant a great deal!
You may have seen my earlier posts in this thread about my attempt to meet a $5,500 slots-only WR on a VERY generous $225 bonus on a $50 deposit at All Jackpots...
I mentioned that I was down to my last $9 - but that was when I STARTED playing Spring Break. As you can see below, if I had not hit the feature, I would have had only $1.07 left! (The shot is of the last of my 15 free-spins).
At this point, I had wagered only just over $2000, and lost most of my dosh to the lovely Laura Croft...
But from there, I went to Ladies Nite where I hit those 5 scatters, and won $113 off an 18c bet, and then on to other nice hits on other machines, like Tally Ho; $58 off 36c, Spring Break; (again) $140 off 72c, Thunderstruck; when I got the feature and it re-triggered THREE times to give me 60 spins, but only a disappointing $53 off 36c, and even Laura gave me some back, with $76 off $1.50.
Ended up meeting the WR with $250 in the bank!

That was a VERY lucky escape, but does go to show that slot's only bonuses can pay off!

I think I might lengthen my name to 'Kasino-King of the Low-Rollers'

Over the last three days I have flitted from casino to casino, and the VP has been utterly terrible. Even managed to lose well over a grand in the Jackpot Factory promo (I won the $500 on dice 5,1,3 - AND had it intact after the 3xWR).
Yet ANOTHER grand on dire VP in All Jackpots to get this weekend's tumbling dice entries - this should be mathematically stacked in the player's favour!! $10800 wager coveres all possible dice combos for certain $500, and should cost only $70 on Jacks or Better - only disallowed on sign up bonus. Kudos to casinomeister for having these listed & the special offer for All Jackpots.
Another 600 in Phoenician for the Power Poker tournament, and see Michael in 1st and me down to $300, and FINALLY - the balance is restored

PS - No sign yet of my $150 from the $30 free chip from Mr Curran at the Crystal Palace - perhaps casinomeister should open a poll on whether and/or when I will get it

Hit my first RF at sun vegas.

Was betting $100 per hand, hit $400 then went down to $5 and hit RF dammit lol.

[largeeyes]

$100 a HAND? So that would have been 4000 $20 coins...$80,000? Woah.

Come on!!!!!
What were we expecting, miracles!
Note the imprecise waffly non-excuse! - No information actually requested, and no definition of what, if any, term was not fulfilled!

Perhaps I had a balance of 0.0000001 of a cent and was disqualified! Perhaps I'll never know.

This is why this casino was in the rogues gallery - just imagine if I had been stupid enough to have a go at one of those silly $16,000 bonuses!

Thank you for playing with Crystal Palace Casino.

Please note that your recent NETeller withdrawal request has not been processed.

This may be as a result of promotional terms and conditions not being met, or our accounts department requiring further information.

New betting opened.

Evens Favourite - I am never asked for further information.
3/1 - I am asked for ID, but still don't get paid
100/1 - I am asked for ID and get paid!
10000/1 - They screw up and pay it into my Neteller anyway
1000000000/1 - I deposit my own money in Crystal Palace Casino after this little episode!


NOTE:-
With Crystal Palace now effectively 'on probation' I will allow them a 7 day cooling off period to see whether they really do ask for information, or give a verifiable reason for declining the withdrawal. I have met all the T & C in the PERSONAL E-mail invitation for this. It may be the E-mail was a standard machine generated one (it did come on a Sunday), but signing it with the name of the CEO can look like it is a personal intervention. I will then add to Casino Complaints thread.

Hi Vinylweatherman,

Please feel free to either PAB or continue this issue in the complaints section so this thread remains on topic. Thanks!!

Depends on whether zman was playing 4-hand VP or 1-hand VP. If 4-hand (which i suspect as most casinos wont let you go that high a stake on 1 hand) it would be $20k

I had a great month at 32Red and INetBet -- pretty much the only casinos I play at anymore -- fast, reliable payouts.

It all started with the Royal I posted above from 32, then they fell like dominoes!

Yes, I put a lot of this back, but ended up cashing in over $10K at 32 and $4K at INetBet.









It took me a while to get these up here. You see, I've been busy.

actually:

47 cards left in the deck

1 deuce.

Chance of 4 deuces = 1- chance (not 4 deuces)

so

chance for each hand is:

1 - (46/47 * 45/46) = 1 - 45/47 = 2/47 = 0.04255

So your return is either a guaranteed 225 per hand, or

0.0425 * 1250 = 58
+
probability of pair in remaining cards (giving 5-of-a-kind) * 75
= (40/47 (not k, j, 2) * 3/46) + (2 * 3/47 * 2/46) *75 = 0.06106 * 75 = 4.58
+
probability of two suited cards spread no more than 4 (giving straight flush) * 45 (roughly 1/13) = 1/13 * 45 = 3.46
+
probability of not getting one of the hands above (giving a guaranteed 4-of-a-kind) * 20 = .82 * 20 = 16.4

So you lose 142 coins by tossing the KQ. And given that this is 4-play, that's 568 coins - which would be a $284 mistake.
