You know I know people shit on rtg, but I have to say in the last 5 years I have consistently won from them. I have played a good bit at Stake and I Have won jack shit..like people are so proud of their no limit city games, or relax, or pragmatic etc...and sure the random person lights it up but there is no middle ground, you're either fucked or fucked ....and that's 99.9% of the time it seems. But rtg, slides me 20k in two nights , I had another 1500 I had just cashed the jackpot night.

Don't get me wrong, sure rtg can be tight but still hats off to the fact their slots do something.

What's nuts is my father did just as well these exact same evenings with winning around 7k

I realize you can't win 50k or something off a 20 cent better on rtg but when you're able to more regularly win ,it's pretty cool.

Anyways, best week I've had in awhile.
 
Bovada and their associated casinos are probably the best group to play at for US players (though I'm not familiar with the crypto casinos so can't speak to those), but my luck is so absurdly bad there that I can't do much else than scratch my head. I didn't have a single withdrawal from slots over the entire past year. (I did have 4 withdrawals from winning at craps though.) So I'm pretty sure that's over 100 straight losses from slots, since they're the main casino group I play at. To be fair, I don't bother to cashout out most of the time unless i've won at least 5-10x whatever I deposited, but that's still pretty absurd.

Bummer to hear. What do you play there? My dad also does good at bovada , the same time I was hitting these he was doing pretty good as well. He crushes fruit frenzy.
 
I play some of the progressives when they seem to get high, so nice to hear that you hit one of those and that they actually exist. Some of the other ones I play are golden buffalo, instant inferno, and monster manor, though haven't had any particular big hits.

10 times vegas (progressive) seems to have decent potential for big hits without being too crazy. I hit a 666x win on that with (10x 5x 7), but managed to lose in the end anyway. Also managed to hit the maximum 5 of a kind in the feature on fury of zeus, which is a caesar's empire clone, for an 800x or so win. First time I've ever hit that on any caesar's empire game/clone, but my rtp afterwards somehow always tanks so that disappeared as well.

The new-ish "crazy christmas" is another decent one, a funky monkey clone with an RTG style random progressive and a decent RTP. (Like half of the bovada jackpots are reskins of RTG games caesar's empire or funky monkey, though I don't really mind.)

The new raving wildz might have big hit potential if you don't mind the theme, but it's hard to tell. You need to hit a bunch of wilds in the free spins and get them to keep stacking up since they multiply. Anything else won't pay much.

Have you found any games to be particularly good there?

Ah yea instant inferno I did alright on, but yea golden Buffalo just kicks my ass.

You know what's funny? Is to this day my big wins all come from the old games, tiger treasures obviously, goldbeard, greenlight, jackpot piñatas, aztecs, I have a few others but their new games don't ever do anything for me sadly.

Like that cyberpunk game, I don't see how anyone wins anything .

But those old games are where I win still regularly.
 
I was actually going to mention that cyberpunk game but I forgot (the lawless ladies game appears to be mostly a clone of it as well, but feature reels might play slightly differently). That's probably my absolute worst slot. It's in the category of "how the f*** does this game actually not pay anything." Lost so much money on that. Like maybe a lot of the RTP goes into the small chance of hitting a ~2000x win if you get the magic combo of top symbol on reel 1 and 5, stacked on reels 2 and 4, and expanded wild appearing in the middle? That's the only explanation I can think of. I did hit top 5 of a kind once or maybe even twice but without hitting it with a wild on 5+ lines, the occasional 150x win isn't going to pay for all the losses.

So yeah sounds like mostly those old RTG games are the ones working well for you. I did hit a progressive on aztecs treasure like 4 years ago, so I did have all right luck with progressive back then but never had much luck in the base games in RTG. That 800x win on fury of zeus - even though it isn't technically an RTG slot, might be my best RTG win I can recall.
 
I had one session on lawless ladies where I on 40 cents had enough red ladies with the x3 for a 900 dollar hit. Ever since that I had kept pushing but I just can't do anything.

So back to your situation, on those sites don't thru say max cash out in like bitcoin, 20,000? I had figured it someone banged 6 figures theyd get 20k increments. If thats how they chose to take their money.. I think that's insane they're giving you the run around man
 
Yeah so that's like lining up the perfect spin on lawless ladies, I never really saw anything like that myself. Would be nice to hit on a big bet, but I have to imagine it's pretty rare since you need all the reels to be like perfect. And nothing else really seems to pay, so that's why those games left me scratching my head (I played the cyberpunk city version a lot more than the lawless ladies one, though i did play that some times as well.) Really hard to hit a perfect spin and nothing else really covers the losses.

Those games also have a kind of weird bonus round, I know cyberpunk city is like this but not 100% sure on lawless ladies. So your "goal" in those bonus rounds is basically to get a bunch of 5 of a kinds of the bottom symbol, since there are a bunch more on the reels for whatever reason and it's a 3x payout. Kind of odd way to make a slot I guess. Not necessarily "bad," but pretty much not going to hit any kind of huge bonus round. Just the fact that the rest of the slot didn't seem to pay was the bad part for me.

I played it (cyberpunk city) a bunch back in like 2021 when they retired all of the old flash slots and dumped the all the retired jackpots in so it went over like 300k or something, I just got wrecked though.

So the max withdrawal on ignition is 9500 assuming it's still the same right now. So even if it's not perfect that's a lot better than what you'll find at cafe casino or slots.lv which is 2500 max withdrawals. Sometime before they locked up my account, they had actually changed their system. It used to be like 9500 every 2 or 3 days, but I think they changed it so you can withdraw something like 180k a week which should be enough for pretty much anything. Which is probably why they locked up my account, because I tried to withdraw from ignition and unlike cafe casino you can actually withdraw quickly from there if they follow their normal withdrawal guidelines.

Edit: They actually even sent me my final 2500 cafe casino withdrawal after they locked my account, so that had initially given me a bit of optimism. But guess that was misplaced. Didn't send my ignition withdrawal which was far bigger.

So is slots lv actually part of bovadas group? I was looking at their withdraw area and it says bitcoin max is unlimited. I know those other places have limits but I was surprised to see slots lv as unlimited for max withdraw. I just recent started to actually play at slots lv since my bovada issue never got sorted out since they suck, so I haven't cashed anything at slots lv yet but Id hope that's a good thing to see having unlimited btc withdraw.
 
It's the same group, yeah. So if you had some kind of problem at bovada, there's a good chance you'll also have the same problem anywhere else in the group.

I think the "unlimited" just means you can request whatever amount you want, but it will divide it into $2500 increments and wait three days between them. So in terms of cashouts, bovada or ignition are probably better choices as their two main/bigger sites that I believe have higher withdrawal limits. There might be a very slight difference in the amount of VIP points you get from playing slots I guess, can't really think of many other substantial differences. Slots.lv might also have slightly better deposit bonuses but that only matters if you feel like using them.

Well that's what's weird then... So at bovada where I had that issue, my account been disabled for months now....but I can spin and play freely at both ignition and slots lv. So that's why I was curious... Surprised they didn't disable me there as well.

Interesting, guess maybe it depends on the type of issue. Maybe some things stay separate, but I have to imagine anything substantial absolutely gets shared between the different sites.

I think for legal reasons some of them may have to pretend to be separate, that's why they each seem to serve different areas of the world. (US can play all the sites except bodog i think, well apparently also joe fortune and bodog88 as well but I hear about them so rarely I'm only half sure they actually exist.)

Yea not sure. At end of the day I want to play at bovada... I contacted them to try and get this fixed up so hopefully. I just been with them for years so it sucks to be in this spot but they gotta understand it's because their processors fucked me up... You can't come back in a month or so and pull 1500 bucks willy nilly, looks like fraud to my bank etc... So hopefully I get it worked out soon
 
@pokerdan

Dan how's slots lv been for you over the years, I know you played there more frequently... Are their cashouts decent?

Just saw this. Sorry for months delay LOL. Slots.lv is instant just like Bovada. it takes like 30 minutes max. I play at Slots.LV, Bovada, Igniton,, and CafeCasino eevery Monday. The bets comps are Bovada and Cafe casino for me. But slots.lv also gives me 3 150% matches per week. Theres enough comps and bonuses to keep me busy.

These are my favorite sites. i hit a hot drop hourly jackpot a few weeks back.
