Accidentally clicking Max Bet :eek::eek:

Tirilej said:
Damn, now you removed my happy feeling for thinking they were actually listening :(
Shitheads! Can I call them that? Is that a terribly rude word?
In that case I mean it ;)

Don't play the Big Bang so don't know.

Yes, it is rude (scheisskopfen) but not too bad! I have called Netbent far, far worse.....:D
 
The biggest max bets were at Intercasino (and maybe others with the same games). More than once the only thing that saved me from making a $250 spin was not having $250. Not only did the number of coins change, the denomination changed as well:eek:

3Dice does have the option under their max bet button of setting the number of coins to use while betting max. So it is definitely not that it can't be done.

Because they can get away with it, and it leads to more revenue :rolleyes:

It doesn't increase revenue though, whatever i deposit they will normally get to keep whether i do all small spins or mistakenly press Max Bet once or twice. all it does is annoy players which may make them change games to another supplier, Netent to Microgaming for example, so then Netent do lose revenue.

As has been said before the best way to have Max Bet is if the button just changes the stake but doesn't spin the reels so all spins are done by the spin button then there are no issues with it.

That is exactly what I just said to the Vera & John rep when they replied to my PM :thumbsup:

They kindly did compensate me with a free bonus chip, but losing my money (no matter how annoying - it was my fault) was not my main reason for contacting them.
Apparently the software supplier said that increasing to max coin VALUE instead of NUMBER of coins bet was a deliberate incorporation of the slot's design and they think it's good because it's different from other slots.
Yes it IS different - but different in a very BAD way! :sob:

It looks like no supplier is going to listen to reason and change something which NO players like - so I guess we'll all just have to be more careful.

Silly me

Not that I think it will do any good but I just sent an email to Netent in Stockholm with a link to this thread.

I've never heard anyone that likes or need this evil button, and if noone need it to be there then it's just stupid to keep it there.

So Netent people. You aren't stupid are you? ;)
 
Some Playtech casinos used to default the bet to $1 coin, 10 coins per line on their 20- and 25-line slots upon the new download. A new player who just clicked "SPIN" (not even Max Bet) would effectively bet $200 or $250 on the single spin. Not sure if the issue is corrected by now. The worst part was that even if you hit a win, and you played with a bonus, you may have problems cashing out unless you kept betting large, as some casinos have explicit terms which prohibit significant lowering of your bet after a win. In the best case they would pay but label you bonus abuser and deny further bonuses.
 
Well I wish I HAD hit Max Bet before this spin! :p

V&J gave me a €75 bonus to make up for my error, so I went back to the same slot for revenge - and much to my surprise, I got it!
Did 150 or so spins at 75c - got free-spins a few times, but not great returns. So decided to do a few at €1.75 and lucky got free-spins again...
This time I hit 2 "Big Wins" and one "Super Mega Big Win" of €249. Total return = bet x250! :D

I wonder what the WR is... :rolleyes:

Gold factory is 1 of the worse, 50 lines and max coins 20,
If playing 5p a line x 50 lines thats £2.50 a press if you hit the max bet its going to cost you £50, Thats a pretty big raise for such a small error, when I press the key board thats when it does it, I forget which key it is now but sure its space bar, Not called space bar for nothing as if it does it again thats where itts going to be heading :)

Play N Go have the Max Bet button set so it just raises the stake but doesn't spin.

I just don't see the need for the button at all though, if a player can't find the buttons that raise the stakes then he shouldn't really be playing.
 
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned that on Microgaming's latest releases there is no max bet button and pressing the space bar only spins at your current bet size. :thumbsup:

However they have NOT updated the older slots so if you forget and then go to play an older slot it will still max bet at your current coin size when the space bar is pressed.

What i find extremely sneaky with these keyboard shortcuts is that they aren't mentioned anywhere in the slot itself which means that most people have no idea that the space bar can mess them up.

If anyone from NetEnt are reading this, it's time to get rid of the pesky Max bet button and how about one-upping MG and doing it consistently across the board ;)

In free play mode at least, that button didn't deactivate max bet, it just deactivated the warning message about losing your active wishes for raising the bet size.
 
Imagine you pressed betmax and 5 scatters appeared though how epic would that be a simple slip up wins a fortune hahaha! I once did this on Thunderstruck original I bet 4.50 by mistake and saw 2 scatters if only the third had appeared! One of the worst games for this type of error is MGs tomb raider when coming off the bonus game if you don't click in the right bit of the bonus exit button it presses betmax of £3.75!:D:(
 
OMG Been there done that more times than i care to mention. Worst one for me is microgaming as i'm used to hitting space bar to spin and omg it maxes me out every time. I'd say once in a blue moon I have been able to smile after, most of the time i'm normally sobbing into my keyboard. :sob:

I would like a facility to disable max bet buttons on certain game or disable blinkin space bar.

Thats what gets me lol, not so funny and when it hapens them spins come in quick with no wins :), Im having a relax and a bird pops in (women) doing the messing on bed and all you hear is a spin, turn round and max bet been placed buy hittin the keyboard, At time not botherd but once shes in the bath and go to have a quik spin, than its incifciantt funds, I said b4 that if you had a bonus running than it will auto invaild it the bonus, Terible
 
I opened this thread a while ago but ive been reading all of your comments and it seems nobody is really happy with those buttons (except maybe the casino :p)

for me the only solution is too cash out a big slice of any winnings straight away, so that i dont have enough money in my account to play max bet
 
Funny how a similar thing just happen to me before logging in here and seeing this thread again.

I don't hit the max bet button, but I play a lot on my mobile, and I forgot to go into the settings and reduce the bet. It was only a small amount of $15 that was in my Guts account, so no major deal, but I thought I'd use it for some fun at minimum bet. Stupid me forgot to change the auto bet after waiting for the game to load, and my first three spins were at $4 before I noticed.

Would have been great if I managed a win from those first three spins, but I didn't, so now I just feel stupid and annoyed, lol. Needless to say I only have myself to blame for my shorter then expected session :-(.

On a brighter note I just won €700 from 25 free spins at redbet, so that makes up for it :-). It's the most I've ever won from free spins ever, and will convert nicely to AUD. :thumbsup:
 
I once made the mistake of betting max when I was intending to bet $0.30.

But! I got lucky and hit the bonus round. You have no idea how happy I was considering I had less than $10 left and was down to just $1.51 moments before.

I got 5 of a kind so thought i'd play 3 spins @ $0.60. When I tried to lower my bet I accidently double clicked because the button is broke from all the slots play. It done a double click and placed bet on $3.00.

When that feature landed....

Back in 2009 a betting mistake netted me my biggest ever online win of USD35K! With a handy exchange rate between USD and AUD at the time, I ended up banking ~ AUD43K.

Without the mistake, I would have won 7K. A tidy sum nonetheless.

Short story:

I was playing 7 numbers on keno at a playtech casino. Server dropped. Bet auto adjusted to max $5 upon reconnection, I didn't notice of course. A fresh combo and 1 spin later :confused:..... :eek:.....:yahoo:

A jaw dropping case of ass beats class!

The moral of the story is that betting mistakes sometimes really pay off. You either get lucky or you don't.

Ironically, these types of wins rarely if ever happen when you deliberately bet higher stakes. Go figure...

Don't know if this has been discussed already in thread (didn't read it all) but the worst is when you hit maxbet by accident and this causes you to break the max bet rule on a bonus :(
Click to expand...

Good point! This has happened to me before, but I had no problems. Contacted CS right away and advised them of an honest mistake. Outcome was 'all good'.

There's no guarantee of course, but you are much less likely to have an issue if this occurs at an accredited casino, or at least a casino that has little to no known complaints filed against it. If it occurs at a known rogue casino, then GL!

If you ever breach the max bet rule by mistake, stop play immediately and discuss the issue with CS. I think you'll find that in most cases CS will be understanding and helpful.

Playing on after a known breach without contacting CS asap will naturally reduce your chances of reaching a positive outcome.

Playing with a bonus at buckandbutler (deposit: 12,-; bonus 48,-) and while playing reel steal this shit happens to me: made a 9,- spin, won nothing and so broke the bonus rules (not more than 10% of the bonus amount).
I quickly stopped playing and went to live chat to explain the situation. The chat was :what:
"Isabelle Thu, 7/31/2014 03:22:13 pm

Isabelle Thu, 7/31/2014 03:32:31 pm

Me Thu, 7/31/2014 03:32:39 pm

omg
thats not a good solution
i didnt win with the spin, it was only one spin and it was an accident because of the bloody max bet button !




Isabelle Thu, 7/31/2014 03:34:15 pm

Let me askmy manager,give me a few minutes...
Ok so what we can do is,since you didnt win on that spins I can add a note in your account that if you win and withdraw its possible that we can approve your withdraw anyway. This is nothing I can promice to 100% but its possible if they in that case investigating your gaming history and see that only it was 1 spina nd you didnt win.




Me Thu, 7/31/2014 03:39:14 pm

hmm, ok,




:rolleyes:
 
Done it myself, about 10 days ago, managed to accidentally flush £45 down the pan 3X£15 on various slots ..... it taught me to be careful.
Having said that, I expect it will happen again at some point - depending mainly, I suspect, on the amount of alcohol consumed prior and during the session.

That is a lousy bonus rule of only being able to bet 10% of whatever bonus is received if you ask me. The larger the bets placed should only go in the favor of the casino anyway since most will just lose a lot faster.

As far as clicking max bet on accident goes it has happened to me a few times over the years; usually when I'm playing more than 1 casino at a time with multiple screens and pop ups from poker that I sometimes play on the side and I do a misclick.

I now use the computer to play online slots and an android on the side for poker tournaments that I occasionally when in the mood enjoy playing; so far seems to be working out.:thumbsup:

I never was fortunate enough to get a big win when accidentally clicking max bet but who knows perhaps in the future if I misclick again.:rolleyes:

Getting thread back on track before I get slapped...

Just after LOTR was released and I was playing it daily, I built £20 up to £220 on GO Wild Casino on various slots.
Banked £200 leaving the £20 thinking 'I'll play 30p bets on LOTR with this, win or lose ain't bothered, made my money for today'

Put the auto spin on without altering bet size, *BANG* a £6 spin, screamed 'NO' £14 quid left :( - Soon changed as reels stopped, Wilds on almost every reel IIRC, £460 win!

Ever so careful these days :p
