Any high rollers here?

I had some 'balls' back when i was still working in Gastronomy, and made quite a lot of money..
At my 'Peak' i actually played MG Keno for 200,- a spin :D

Not to say i would love to do that again, but i would definitely love to be able to do it again :p
I also spun slots on 25, or 50, but it was on rare occasions. Ever since i have limited health and budget, i am perfectly fine rolling as low as one possibly can, and fun fact: i now get the same rush when i hit a 1000x or such, on like 10p, as i did back then betting 200 a spin!

Guess the heart got a little weaker, or maybe it's all about how much you have and how much is at stake? Like if your gambling budget for that week is 10, and you win 100 bux in one spin on 10p, thats is huge..Would mean more than winning &k on 200 a spin when your budget is 2k for the week, for instance.

I definitely don't like when people judge other people on how they play/what they spend: as long as you can afford it it's all good, but i can understand that if you're a member of a forum that (will probably always) consists of mainly regular rollers, that one would be slightly hesitant to 'flaunt' their wealth or such..

Simple equation.

The higher you bet = The more you will lose

I am not convinced that most high rollers can actually afford it and if they can I doubt they can justify it.

I don’t watch these streamers, that high roll but I don’t care how much money you earn there is no way betting £50 a spin or higher is sustainable for long. The only way would be if you had some deal with the casino/providers.

It’s hard to draw a line and say this is exactly what will happen because it’s gambling and the variables are too great to set anything in stone.

Therefore let’s just take an educated guess at the likely outcome of ones annual gambling account. More people will have lost at the end of the year compared with those that have won. That’s a given so let’s take a look at average “Joe”.

I have based this on the very conservative side imo but having no proof of any stats it would be impossible to say it’s right so it’s based on experience, reality and logic.

I think it’s reasonable to say that most people who regularly play slots at 50p a spin could expect to be £5,000 down at the end of the year. I am talking people who play most days.
It is only a guesstimate but I don’t think it’s unrealistic.

From there just just scale up.

Someone playing £5 a spin loses £50,000.
Someone playing £50 a spin loses £500,000
Someone playing £100 a spin loses £1,000,000.

I don’t care who it is or what they do but those kind of loses would only be sustainable long term, by the smallest number imaginable of the world’s population and even for those people, could they ever justify it?
 
In days past some of the landed gentry bet whole country estates on turn of a card, thats proper high rolling
I dont think anyone who high rolls with money honestly earned should have to justify anything to
anyone,if it goes tits up,hard shit but no one elses business.I could do crazy bets but never will, down to freedom of choice.
 
Many rich people wouldn't be rich if they would play slots with high bets.

Well.. if you have *50 millions, earns *2 millions annually and gambling *500k/year you are still rich =)

*change numbers as you see who is rich or not

Yup, but you only need to play 5500/day to spend more you earn, if you use 100 bet size or higher less frequently but for bigger losses, you can lose surprisingly lot of money :)

I think if you have severe addiction to gambling, there's hardly limit how much you can lose if you go "normal route" that your bets and spending just keep increasing all the time until you're broke.
 
Pretty sure my biggest stakes was £20 a spin, but only once when my balance was super high. Quickly soiled myself and then lowered my stakes.

Biggest ever roulette spin is probably about £400 (I dont get why people can easily do this, but yet are scared of a £5 slot spin!)

Biggest BJ hand was £1k - £500 then double downed. It won.

Biggest ever football bet was £1840 on a 1/4 shot - it lost. Built the balance up from £100 though doing short odds, but still gutted about it to this day!
 
Two high rollers who spring to mind are of course 'The Bandit' and 'Rocknrolla'
Bandit with his (insane?) runs on Reel King and Paul (RR) on the roulette table regularly betting many thousands a spin.
I don't know if ther're both just seriously wealthy men or have some great affiliation going on with certain casinos but they have to be turning over millions each a year.
So far so good I guess, Bandit got a house and a fancy car out of Reel King so fair play to him, but I can't help but think the longer it goes on its inevitably going to end in disaster as the house always wins in the long term..... And normally the short term too for us mere mortals! LOL

I do wonder about how they can afford it myself! (my guess is inheritance!)
 
I can see it going bad for Bandit one day, just hope he keeps most of what he has won and doesnt go mega chasing.He is relying on getting to the top on the gamble ladders which is pretty dangerous,the odds are
usually about 32 or 64 to one depending on the steps and on those figures a losing run of hundreds of gambles
is very possible and would wipe most players out.I would never try it thats for sure.
Watching the streams is quite deceptive if you dont keep your eye on the balances,some of the big wins
cost a fortune to get, he only shows the big wins which is fair enough, who wants to see the losing spins,I dont need to watch streamers to see plenty of those.Anyway good luck to him.
I see he plays at VS, makes you wonder what documention he had to send for them to allow his deposit level.
 
I’ve had a horrible experience when I ventured way out my comfort zone in terms of stake.

In 2008 I played at the now defunct Bluesquare Casino.
Examples of the choice of slots were Roaring 20’s, Texas Tea, Cleopatra (original version) etc. I always played around £1.00 spins as slots seemed kinder back then.

The slot Cleopatra had an issue where the bonus had not been paying out correctly, paying 1x when it should have been paying 3x (So much for the testing and auditing back then!)

To my surprise my account was credited with £900, I thought let’s try a few £10 spins.
Quite quickly I won £2500 from a base game hit.

Then the stupidity kicked in and before I knew it I was spinning £20-£30 on Cleopatra. In the space of 4 hours I had lost it all!
Then not one of proudest moments I chased it with another £1500 from a credit card, which I lost.

Needless to say nothing like that has ever happened again, although I went as high as £6.25 on Mega Moolah when MGS were top dogs.
I stick to near minimum these days, my finances are the same as back then but the slots are set up differently.
 
Like I say I don’t watch streamers but I get the gist just by reading some of the posts on the forum. I can never take anything at face value, it’s my nature and I treat everything as being phoney until someone proves otherwise.

I could be wrong but does it not ever occur to you that of all the really big slot players you have known, lost in the long term or ended up completely in the shite very rapidly. Yet here’s a guy who gambles relentlessly on huge stakes and continually wins long term (at least that’s the impression I am getting reading the posts, may have missed some). Yet strangely the Casino doesn’t ban him. :rolleyes: That’s smelly enough for me.

He seems to play almost exclusively at Videoslots these days and has mentioned on his streams about SOW issues he has had with other casinos (yes looking at you Casumo).So he has obviously made some sort of arrangement with VS where he can deposit tens of thousands of pounds without raising any of the usual red flags. Of course he must also get some sort of kickback from the casino but this is probably small beer when compared to his level of deposits and withdrawals.
 
I am generally $5-$10/spin, like pretty much everybody I go higher when my balance is up, my deps are about 5k/week, saying that I w/d regularly (not regularly enough though), I have a $1500 rule, when I get that balance I w/d and only play where I can lock or they process almost instantly.
 
Back in the dark days when I was completely hooked on gambling I would regularly just go in at £10 spins on the original Rainbow Riches game (familiarity due to being hooked on land based FOBT and arcade machines, bear in mind this was all the way back in 2007 - 2010 well before streamers, Big Time Gaming and the like)

Out of nowhere I started doing £100 spins on the game (literally I jumped from £10 to £100!), again...major gambling problem back then...and hey this is great just a number on a screen rather than cold hard cash in my hands...), my get out of jail, or so I naively thought was when it suddenly decided to slam in the pots on a £100 spin!

As I dreamed about £50,000 in my bank account (500x gold pot)...in came the Bronze for 'just' 90x...£9000...pretty much a refund of all my online gambling stupidity up to that point but it just ended up tilting me like no tomorrow!

I somehow managed to temporarily snap out of my trance at that point and withdrew the balance, but the next day I was straight on another casino and sickenly lost the lot within an hour, at one point I remember clicking up to £400 spins...just numbers on a screen!...except these were real numbers rather than demo numbers...

On a much more positive note that was the last ever online gamble I did, so in a twisted way it has probably saved me gradually losing much, much, much more over the past 10 years or so! I still play on the land based FOBT and arcade machines to this day but I'm too old to be 'chasing' on them now so find myself a lot more under control than I was, I limit my spending and can actually walk home these days after losing £20 rather than walking to the cash machine to withdraw another £200 to try and chase my £20 back :)

Gradually climbing the stakes just becomes a dangerous game 'oh I'll just have a few spins at £x' then you get a fluky big win and suddenly there is no buzz on a lower stake, if your gambling mind is like mine seems to be wired up anyway!
 
Well I got to say been high rolling last 2 days started at risk, dreamcatcher betting 65$ on all wheel hits 7× figure 1-2 same old bullshit. Well Andy hes the superstar spinner at evelotion, wait for it got 8$on 40 the 7× hits 40 wtf 280× 3,344.00, another 750$ today, 500$ now all on live casino evelotion. Every thing on fire 500$ now mega ball 20cent bet max cards 200, 40$ boom 500$. Cashed it all out, now back to low roller. Whoo
 
Here's one.

My bets start 'easy' and usually end up in a 1000 to 2000 pounding chilli bonus buys. Sometimes they do kick in (20k wins) and sometimes they dont.

My best win was 65k almost a year ago. Never touched anything near that on that particular casino. And i stopped playing there really, since they changed all the "fun" games in now limited bets and certain features removed from the game. So i looked for different casino's out there, bigger brands that are known for a longer time and dont have a streak of bad reviews apart from the bonus complaints only.

So far so good.

How many times would you say, you have bought the bonus round on Chilli at €1,000 and €2,000?
 
I like this thread. Its good to hear about the high rollers or big hitters.

I think sometimes peops dont want to shout about their glory in case it gets a cold reception.

I have only ever spun big with bonus money or if ive landed a big win thats increased the budget.

When i won the Videoslots Jackpot Wheel I wish i had set aside a grand or two to play with. Easy come, easy go kind of thing. After all, it was money i never had. As it was i took most of it out but did enjoy a spin or two at bets between £2 - £10 but eventually over a few days thought i was better off withdrawing the rest so that was that.

I chased some losses from a big win once and did a £7 bet on Yeti Battle for Greenhat Peak that netted £300 from the base game which gave me back my already won losses (if that makes sense).

I wish i could make the jump and do throw a bigger bet in now and again.

Any high rollers here who started out betting 10/20p's and have evolved into a big hitter?

Anybody out there who would say their standard of living/income has greatly improved through gambling?

Not on daily basis, lol. Impossible. I guess when my balance is suffient enough to take a few hits.

Yes. I remember very well going to the landbased casino's with just 50 euro. I was happy for winning 20 euro alone, and leave with 70 or so. Over time you get to sniff the bigger hits, wins, and learn quickly what the sweet spot for certain slots is. At some point i was returning the 2k cash into a high limit machine with bets up to 60 a spin. It only happend twice to get a bonus on that bet, never gave what i was chasing for lol, a theoretical 45k fullscreen.

Anybody out there who would say their standard of living/income has greatly improved through gambling?

No. To be honest a loss. But i can carry it as i have my business for 13 years. Very solid, even in times of corona.
 
Someone PM'd me recently asking if I thought there was compensation at higher bet levels on some slots.

I said I didn't think so but you do certainly get the impression they play worse the instant you start betting higher.

Well, stupidly I decided upon an experiment last night.

"Ancient" (Jurrasic) Giants - Pragmatic
1000 $5 spins net position: +$2,914
1000 $50 spins net position: -$17,102

nuts.
 
one example:
did you ever see 5explorers in bod freegames with a bet 10eur or higher?
i guess no. But why not if every Slot is rdm at any time or any bet‘.

now you can start arguing that ‚not many ppl play with that high stakes so the probability to see 5expl is lower...‘.

yes might be true. But there are a lot of ppl still playing with 10eur or higher. I’m also one of these ppl and saw tons of explorer-bod-freegames.

the only reason is that slots are simply not rdm. Or let me put in that way: they are not rdm in the way they are telling us they would be.
 
It's an interesting case to see someone in USA play for years on unreal bets at local casino's:

The amount of 2000 dollar handpays are into the hundreds. This is what i recognized in local casino's as well. Playing max bet (of up to oblivion) simply does'nt gain the net result you'd expect it would. All slots do happend to have a sweetspot in relation of the bet. Ive tried nummerous times to go hard on a slot with up to 60 euro a spin but had much better results when playing at 20.

I feel like the same applies to online as well. Beyond a certain bet it's pretty much impossible to gain the same result as if you would had at 4, 6, 8, 10, 20 bet a spin. And there's more to a mathematical just spinning numbers. Volatility, avg payout, having zero bonusses and have lots of base wins to compensate pretty much your session playing.

There's way more to it. However if you tell that here you get boo'd out because others believe it aint true. Sorry i play long enough to know slots are'nt random as they are presented to us. Try a big withdrawl, and see if slots would hit after that. Really. That's enough proof of the above.

I wonder if BOD is really a good example.

I concur i have never seen them land on a big bet but i dont watch a lot of videos or streamers and like i say, not seen it myself.

I think Harry mentioned the amount of spins done on that game and its a crazy amount every day (sorry i cant recall) so i wonder if because its played for millions of spins at mostly lower bets plus the randomness would mean its less likely to see the max on max bet.

Though i am now wondering if my logic should be reversed - because of the amount its played we should have :)

Interesting anomaly if it is true but maybe its just that - an anomaly and you could do it next time, fingers crossed eh. Reckon PnG have the answer.
