[hoff1985]

Just working through the different categories, all i can say is that i STRONGLY agree with the No1, from the first day i've joined Videoslots it was excellent. Payouts, Support, Loyalty, Max Bet safety!! everything was just a tiny bit better as on other top rated casinos. Well deserved!!! <3

 

[Deeplay]

The right choice for sure with Video Slots getting Best Casino of 2015! These guys do everything right and are top of the game!

Really good to see them take this

 

[LHofsdal]

Thank you!

Holy Smokes, that is one hell of list!!

Thank you for taking the time to create and post that. It was an enjoyable and informative read. I am sure it must of taken a lot time to create that list.

WTG to all winners!!!

Thanks again,
LH

I agree. I had a little wobble with then early last year but that was me expecting more of the same (as in, the standard fayre offered by other casinos) rather than them doing anything wrong.

Over the year they've been simply superb. Innovative, friendly, involved in the forums, knowledgeable and empowered staff.

They are my go to casino and I doubt that will change any time soon.

Well deserved and congratulations to them.

Was also glad to get a mention myself.

 

[Jd666]

Well done winners. Well deserved.
Shame on the winners of the worst categories.
Had to laugh at the fan mail awards

 

[Angel81]

A big CONGRATULATIONS to Videoslots!! A well deserved award!:yahoo::yahoo::yahoo::yahoo:

 

[dionysus]

WTG all
And the big winners? The players...for having such top notch casino groups and staff out there working hard for us.
Thanks guys!:notworthy

 

[Simmo!]

Congrats to all the winners and nice job CM. A great read.

Although I think it would have been funnier if you had done this:

Forum Member Achievement Award of the Year 2015; VWM

and followed it with this...

Most Annoying Forum Member of 2015: VWM

 

[Deeplay]

Think also Kudos to Netent for getting the Best Software Experience! Love em or loath em - they are certainly creative. Good choice for this award for sure

 

[syntynyt]

https://www.casinomeister.com/casino-awards/year-2015/best-igaming-software-experience-award-2015/
beside i disagree, Yggdrasil should have had at least a mention in this category. all netent games shown there have 400x max win with the exception of steam tower 2000x which could be or not achievable after wonky wabbits and jack hammer series proved to be not related to max win shown, not even close!!.
Yggdrasil are innovators too when it comes to mechanics and all of their recent slots carry huge wins. great graphics and sounds in all creations and the best quickspin mode, setting the spin as fast or slow as i wish.
Vikings Go Wild, Nirvana and jackpot game Holmes and Stolen Stones. redefined the once boring Keno games with Medusa, Siamese Serpents, Precious Arunan. they are underrated thats for sure, but above netent in 2015 by a mile. netent presentation is like metallica collaboration called LULU, beautifully crafted in appearance but once opened total crap with bits of good moments here and there.

as for the rest i agree, except that the best global casino has yet to prove itself by solving in fair terms my issue.

No need - we can just tell it straight to him when we see him next week.

 

[CWG-Promotions]

Congrats to all who made the list, even the bad ones, you deserve it.

A special congrats to Karolina though, great work mate!

Congrats to the winners well deserved

 

[lotusch]

A great report as usual Bryan...Enjoyed reading it and there is some really fun stuff in there.
A big congratz to all the winners,all well deserved!

For me personally it was kinda weird to cheer for Netent as best games provider in 2015 but i.m.h.o a well deserved award for them.
I have really learned to value and like their slots,not all of them but a good few are on my favourites list nowadays.
How different was it like 2 years ago when I did not like Netent one bit.

Also Kudo's to Karolina from ClubWorld,happy to see her winning an award too.
After a rough start getting my account verified I am now doing my bit of spins at ClubWorld every month and Karolina has been really helpful to me from the start.


Great stuff and gratz again to all the winners!

 

[aceking123]

well done winners ,seems a very tight fight this year for top place all cracking casinos

 

[fun4all]

Very glad VideoSlots won - the right choice

Thanks for taking the time to do this CasinoMeister - great read and very awesome to see everyones suggestions taken on board

 

[dunover]

Thanks for the awards! I have to admit I supported Videoslots as they are about as near casino 'perfection' as you can get now. Innovative, quick and tick all the boxes for most players but also give some profits back to the players instead of sponsoring crap soccer teams. To think we have some great sites like Guts, Bet-at and Trada etc. that don't come close shows just how good VS have been. From 'Best Newcomer' last time I think it was pretty obvious these guys were on the up and up....:notworthy:notworthy

Casino4live (or casino4skins which bellends also hide behind!) were so bad it was laughable. That they had the audacity to register a 'rep' was amazing.

I shall redouble my efforts to get 'Most Annoying Poster' in the next 11 months.

Again thanks to the casinos which contributed over 4,000 Euros to charity a year ago in my slot symbol scavenger quiz!

32red again for always doing the right thing when necessary and helping people quickly on here.

And the lovely Karolina - well done again! See you next week.

And yes! I'm glad the EveryMatrix SE scam has been recognized and they can be dragged up to the standard of the rest of the shared-licensees.

I typed many a word here and also PM'd (IIRC) one or two mods here concerning the necessity of having accredited sites openly display their sister sites in order to stop players falling foul of bonus duplicity rules or SE rules across shared licensees. A big step forward now it has been implemented! A shame the so-called official agencies like the UKGC have still failed to act on such a simple matter though.

So all-in-all a good 2015!!

P.S. Can we have a new category for most annoying and bastardly slot of the year in 2016?

 

[clubworld]

Hi All,

Congratulations to all winners and Bryan for a good read

I would like to say massive thank you to all!!!

Kind Regards,
Karolina

 

[lockinlove]

Karolina def deserves it. Congrats to you!!

I think this calls for a $100 freechip on one of their casinos!!!!

 

[lotusch]

P.S. Can we have a new category for most annoying and bastardly slot of the year in 2016?

Anything particular in mind Dunover?

and how about best new slot of the year!

 

[jetset]

Always a great read and clearly backed by a lot of hard work Bryan - well done!

 

[KasinoKing]

Yes, great work Bryan once again!

Congratulations to all the Winners - and to all the short-listed nominees too - you are all winners in my book! :notworthy

[geordiecolin]

A very informative read,and I read it all.
I am slightly gutted that Videoslots won best casino. Gutted for very selfish and possibly ill informed reason? I won on my first deposit in Videoslots. If I am up by 400% or more on my deposits in a Casino I tend to walk away because my reasoning is that I am most likely to lose long before I win again. But that philosophy means I miss out on the things the site has to offer,including the Battle Of Slots.
Is my philosophy a wise one?

I'll be forever grateful for that Dunover and to the other people involved and the casinos, im glad it got a mention.
It helped me at a bad time knowing i raised some money for a charity i will always support. And thanks for yours and other peoples donations to my sponsored walk

 

[Nicola]

Congratulations to Videoslots, not just one but two major awards this year. My experience at VideoSlots has always been good and the customer service and withdrawals are excellent. Very impressed with Responsible Gaming commitment as well.

Betat, can never fault their customer service and the number of hours their rep puts into CasinoMeister shows true dedication. Well done on your award, well deserved.

Karolina, well done on your Casino Manager award. Looking after seven casinos is not an easy task!

Finally, thanks to the Meister for all the effort he has put into these awards. This truly is a great community

 

[sueyh]

First I should thank to Bryan and Maxd and all the people who works for Casinomeister for this great list and all the things they did for the members here.

I absolutely agree with the list, Videoslots is a truly awesome casino.

Congrats to all the winners.

Absolutely not wise I'm afraid.

The House Edge on the games is exactly the same wherever you play - so you are not "due" to lose at Videoslots any more than you are at any other casino you try.
Even if you DO lose there - at least you get some fairly decent cash-back to give you another small chance.

[dave1888]

The sarcasm is strong in this one (Bryan) concerning the bad and spammy awards ! I was in stitches reading them.

As for the good guys very well done to Videoslots well deserved winner! And congratulations to 32Red winning a string of well deserved awards another top contributor not only here but on all services offered live chat,email and phone.

Very well written and thanks for taking the time to do it all! Thanks to all at Casinomeister and to everyone for making the forum an excellent resource, a great laugh and an enjoyable place to be in general! Cheers!

I am sceptical about exactly how random things are. I have played a lot of different casino's in the year that I have been playing online and I have came to the conclusion that the majority (the reputable's) show quite a consistency in a players fortunes over a reasonable amount deposited/withdrawn. I also recognise that within that consistency there is some room for big loses and big wins. I never expect to win big unless I'm playing pissed where I crank up the amount per spin. There is a difference in how much Casino's pay out which is reflected in their % pay out.

I too am in Sussex,but still a proper Geordie like.

 

[KasinoKing]

I too am in Sussex, but still a proper Geordie like.

I'm not, but my brother is
He was born & raised "down south" too - but moved to Newcastle about 20+ years ago and has definitely picked up the accent.
Not as bad as his misses though - she is Geordie born & bred - I can't talk to her on the telephone unless I have a translator by my side!

I wish you good luck wherever you play matey!

[petro]

VS
Even though I have had some minor problems with them it's the majority that counts. And they have clearly pleased the majority.
If they can keep up the good work they will have me on board as a regular depositor.

Mark
Are there no challangers?

VWM
Listen to the guy, he knows what he is talking about.



So glad I didn't get the "Most Annoying Forum Member of 2015" award. lol

And thx CM for the mugshots of Max and VWM.
Wow! Max is relly ugly.

 

[dionysus]

Wow! Max is relly ugly.

I hear he has to beat the ladies off with a stick
(granted, Bry lets the beer flow pretty freely)

 

[mina1929]

Congratulations to all the hard working casino Managers and representatives well deserved

Video Slots huge congrats, always number one for me

32 Red and Mark well done, love this Casino

Netent always great entertainment congrats

Thank you Casinomeister, great read and my first one as I am getting close to being a member for a year now, not sure what month I joined lol

Cool and fun members and the best site, enjoyed everyday

 

[bebo67]

Congrats on all the winners, . Bryan, you had me howling by the time I was done the " bad" ones, and Kevin? Ummm....you lost me on the 3rd line. I pictured some hyper, drooling mad man, pounding on the keyboard as he typed. lol. Was good for laughs

 

[hedgehok]

Thank you Bryan, the mods and the CAG for the effort you put together and thank you for the great read.

Congratulations to all the winners including the "worst" awards. Well deserved.

 

[dusky]

Not been on the forum as much recently but it's always good to read the winners (and horrendous stories of the losers!) to catch up on what is going on in the online casino World.

The lengths some of them are going to, pirated games etc are very worrying but good to see there are still lots of good guys about still!

WTG.

 

[lockinlove]

First time reading the fan mail section. I laughed very hard many times.

Cant believe someone said you are a zionist jew and should be lined up and cooked in the oven hahaha

He and the cooker would have to be blessed by a Rabbi otherwise he would not be Kosha which would be quite ironic

Bryan,
Excellent work as always and an enjoyable read as well with the supporting comments.

Next year perhaps a category for best USA facing Casino or similar since the majority of the good things mentioned for casinos are casinos blocked for us in the USA.
BTW, what percentage of CM members are USA vs Non-USA? Just curious, no rush to answer since I know you are very busy.

Pleased to see that Karolina won.....well deserved and great from my first hand experience with her over the years.

I appreciate all that you and your support team do for the online gaming community. When you get to the USA, would love to see a gathering of US based players and the opportunity to buy you a drink and thank you first hand.

Diane

 

[The Dude]

The US population in the forum is not what it used to be - say, ten years ago. Back then it was 40-50 percent. At the moment, it's about 12 percent. We discontinued "US Facing" casino awards since this could be misconstrued as promoting casinos, and my NJ license prohibits me promoting US facing casinos unless they are located and licensed there. This is why we launched the

Bryan, makes perfect sense.......but horse racing has no appeal. I do frequent the B&M casinos and there is a beautiful one right here in Green Bay close to my home.

Offer still stands to buy you a drink if you get anywhere close to me or where I can meet you at some time in the USA.
