Blue Square - Slots and software are behind the times
To give some background, I have been playing online for well over 8 years, and in that time have played on a host of different sites, since Ladbrokes first launched, with a whole variety of different providers.
In short, Blue Square is behind the times. Not only is it lacking in choice of slots, but the interface is slow (I have a high end gaming PC + consistent 20mb BB) and you are often met with an error message from the cashier deposit page (of all places, if this doesn't work first time it really sets the alarm bells ringing for me).
This just feels like a poor mans Betfair to me, with less games and less thought put into the user experience. And no, I have no affiliation with Betfair.
To give an example of poor user experience - each slot defaults to the maximum bet you can support in your balance (or a preset default that is 100 credits +) upon loading. This means you need to be paying close attention before starting your session or you risk losing way over your desired bet initially. This is not user friendly IMO, particularly if you are new to online slotting.
Furthermore, once you are met with the default 'whale sized' bet and have to reset it, you then have to select the number of bet lines you want from scratch... :-(
Payouts seem ok, I won some, I lost some, no difference here from other places I have played. However, the deposit failures, lack of variety in slots, and what feels like a cheap money grab default bet level, means this gets a disappointing 4/10 from me.

), and I feel that they are good to go into the Accredited Section.
