Grand eagle casino???

[kenneth2816]

I do not know if Mandarin, Treasure Mile and Grand Eagle all share the same onwer, but the software is identical. I've gotten all three invites.

Cashed out close to 500 at Treasure Mile on the $50.00 CD

Busted on Mandarin

Now Grand Eagle sends a $100 ND CD. Wagering terms went from 20X to 40X VS Mandarin and Treasure Mile. But the ND Bonus was $100, not $50. Seems they got hit fairly hard I guess on the first two rounds

I met the 40X wagering requirements, but only had about $76.00 afterward, and decided to play it out which I lost. I say anytime you can wager $100.00 through 40 times, you are doing well and the software is not "rigged". I got to a high of $486.00.


I got my money with no issues from Treasure Mile and continued to deposit.

Today I cashed out $100.00 at Grand Eagle on a $20.00 mini deposit. I'm certain there will be no issues with the money.

Don't let the s-l-o-w software fool ya, these folks are first class. I don't know what the hell is up with the software but it is very slow. There are some game I cannot play because they actually give me a headache.

Legends Of Greece and Worlds At War are the two I've had the best results with. In my opinion, playing those games that have both a Bonus Feature and a Free Spin is best.

Legends Of Greece has a minimum 9 free spins. Every single time I've hit this, I have averaged 250 coins.My highest was 1180 coins with triple free spins.I was betting .25, so I came out OK... Numerous times the free spin has been re triggered.

I've never played anything but their 9, 15, 20 25 and 50 reel video slots, so I cannot speak for anything else.

Rate of return however, exceeds Microgaming, in my opinion. I hate saying this because I love Microgaming (or used to when I could play).

BetOnSoft is decent software. By that I mean it appears inline with the RNG's of other brand name labels. It is just configured poorly or takes up so much RAM on the computer, I dont know which.

But from where I stand, I will continue to play these 3 casinos. Maybe not as often as others, but I've yet to cash out at an RTG casino

Maybe that is the "list" all of us who got the CD's are on- the "no cash out" list.

Send me another one.....

Well, I have been playing Mandarin for a while now and enjoy the game play it gives, even tho the reels do spin somewhat slow.

I try to make it the first casino to play at if I really want to play for a while...then I go to another if I run out of money...but I usually play for a long time...and the slow reels don't bother me too much at the beginning whereas if I played after one of the other casinos where the reels spin fast...I do get a tad frustrated playing Mandarin..

I did not get any other invite or cd's...so I guess I missed that invite list No cashouts yet..

.

I have a new computer and the games were fast. I did good on a lot of video slots. I was playing 2 dollar spins and had a lot of 500 and 300 dollar hits in a row. I was over 1k at one time. Played all day! I rather liked it. That circus trainer was the game for me.

I have not tried the poker yet, but will if I get my cashout. Did not want to wager on poker with the bonus.

 

[LaurieJim]

The worst software i have ever played, The Grand Eagle sucked imo, not a casino that i would put real money into...............just my thoughts on it.............laurie

 

[RobWin]

This "by invitation only" thing bothers me a bit. It gives the impression that a) they have obtained a list of players from somewhere

Me thinks they obtained that email list from the Grand Prive Group and maybe since they are turning out these three casinos Mandarin, Treasure Mile and Grand Eagle fairly fast that they are in fact run by the now rogued Grand Prive Group...just my opinion of course, but I would not put that past those scum bags...

Grand Prive's business had to of been hurt purdy bad with the pullout from the USA Market and then further devastated by the Rogued Status they received at most of the affiliate sites and well known forums as well. All of that IMO left only one course of action for them to be viable again, invent a new software and target the largest market on planet earth by invitation only!

It does seem awfully funny I get a Grand Prive disc in the mail, same envolope, same mailing type. Then a week later get the same type of mailing from Grand Eagle. I agree that it's probably grand prive behind it all. Unless if it's pure coincidence that they both use the same marketing company.

 

[amatrine]

I have not got anything from grand prive in years. Got these three though.
No idea.

 

[kenneth2816]

My cash out check came from Canada.

 

[Tengil]

Never had an account at any Grand Prive casino and got a CD from MandarinPalace a few months ago.

Im sure if they had an affiliate program you would see them promoted all over the internet.

 

[amatrine]

Just got my wire today. They charge 20 for the fee, but somewhere along the way someone took another 30 dollars. My bank does not charge a fee.

This "by invitation only" thing bothers me a bit. It gives the impression that a) they have obtained a list of players from somewhere b) they only really want players who are known losers and/or c) they have very limited funds.

Also the domain whois privacy that AussieDave mentions is a big red flag.

I'd tread very carefully and always remember you are giving your personal and financial information to someone you've never heard of before, you don't know and who wants to remain anonymous. If you saw someone on the news who'd been ripped off or had been a victim of identity theft under these circumstances you'd probably shake your head, roll your eyes and think "well, d'uh!"

I'm still confused about where they got my snail mail address from...I got this invitation & CD at my friends house....but I haven't lived there in over 4 years.

and I don't remember signing up for new casinos when I lived there...

 

[felicie]

Anyone notice their deposit options? My first thought was "aren't some of those non existent now?" all beginning to look very strange and thats a bummer as I too had fun on that 100 chip but wont tell if it was the lst or 2nd wave since that determines if I'm a loser or not? hmmmm.......

 

[kenneth2816]

I get promo stuff in the mail all the time. I never heard of a lot of them so if there is a "list", more than one group must be using it.

Had I not gotten paid close to $500 on a ND deposit, I would be skeptical.

The only deposit method available for US players is credit card, I dont know about any other locations.

I've sent a list of questions I hope can be answered. personally, it doesn't much matter to me if whoever runs the operation wants to not be publicly affiliated. My understanding is that it is an established name, and perhaps there is some contractual reason they cannot disclose. Maybe the whole endeavor will fail and they don't want to look bad, I cannot say.

The only two things I require of a casino is fair gaming and pay me my money if I win. So far, i got no complaints.

I'm waiting on the fourth CD

 

[winbig]

WTF? I just noticed this little tidbit in their T&C:

9. PAYOUT PROCEDURE AT GRAND EAGLE CASINO:

The minimum cash-in amount is $100, and there is a service fee of between $0 and $30 per transaction applicable. This will vary dependent on size of cash-in and processor used.

This place is DEFINITELY not for the low-rollers with a $100 min cash-out; and it seems that they can tack on a fee of up to $30 for any cashout

 

[kakata]

.....this casino is run by a gang of idiots.
They just called me asking 300 questions....if I was the one who made the deposit...how much the deposit was ... my address, the last 4 digits of the CC used....and so on.
I send em to hell and told em "you already lost a potential customer"
...well they had lost me already cause I didnt like the games ,the RTP % which are almost zero, and the slow spinning reels.
I already have Chris di Angelo calling me almost on a daily basis....lol
I dont need another casino calling me...beside with a restricted ID number.

 

[amatrine]

Since I do not use an e-wallet, most casinos require a min 100 to withdrawl. Some are min 300! So crazy. CW is $350 for a wire. Most other places are $100
min. They should come down , to where everyone else is.

 

[kenneth2816]

At the risk of sounding like a "shill", I seriously like this place. It isn't for high rollers only;Red Flush has a minimum cash out of $100.00. The fees associated with withdrawals are tiered depending on your choices. Wire Transfer is $20.00. This is in my opinion, comparable to various E Wallets. Mailing a check is $15.00 whereas expedited courier service (international) will in fact runs you $30.00 with tracking and signature verification required.

I've done a bit of research on "BetOnSoft" and the site's random number generator verification certificate is granted to Genesys Technology. Genesys was instrumental in developing online "call center" type software called "People Soft". They at one time had the CS software for all Micgrogaming, and a place called "BetFair". So, Genesys has a bit of a toe hold in online aming, and it appears they must have developed an RNG of thier own (the essential component for an online casino).

Now my thinking is that since Micgrogaming left the US market, what did they do with the thousands of US players and their histories? What if this is where the list for mailing out the CD's comes from? I cannot see Microgaming selling this list to a competitor like Real Time, but I very much can see them enter a limited partnership with say Genesys and reinventing a way to get back into the US market.

The only "list" I can think of which might be common among all of us who got the disks is Microgaming. The other thing is that in all my years, I've never once had an accusation of "bonus abuser" or had any account locked nor have I ever initiated a charge back in 9 years.

So. Assume that a "service centered" company like Genesys partners, so to speak, with Microgaming and puts out a no frills gaming software, selectively targets proven established US players and does not really plan to expand to a format where just anyone can play.

I may be all wrong, but it would be a hell of a marketing scheme...very, very cost effective and selective as to reputation etc of players.

At any rate, I'm totally sold. I've found that if I install the games from the disk and not sign onto the web site, they run much, much faster. Also, you can play a 3 line slot with a potential pay out of 2,000 coins for just 1 cent.

Interestingly enough BetonSoft EXACTLY duplicates Microgaming's wagering tier:
1 cent multiple coins

5 cent multiple coins

10 cent multiple coins

25 cent multiple coins

50 cent multiple coins up to 1 dollar.

Also the gaming format for slots is identical with 9, 15, 20 and 25 reel slots, a few 30 reel slots and 1 50 reel slot.

So you can make a 20 cent bet. I have found the bonus features to be extremely high end pay out vs wager ratios.

The highest wager return fr me so far has been a 7,100 coin pay out playing a 20 line slot at 5 cents per line. That equates to a net return of over $350 on a one dollar bet.

OK, maybe I have "conspiracy theory" thinking, but it sort of fits, ya know?

Any feedback?

 

[amatrine]

Yeah, I got $500 on a dollar bet, three spins later, another $300 on the video slots. Then on the three real hit double 7's twice, and then a few spins later double double bars.
I really was impressed . Im not a shill either. I really was impressed.

When Treasure nile first came out, it ran very slow and choppy and I did not go back. I tried this one, and it ran great. I got free spins a lot. Now granted this was just one session, but have not had a session like that in many years.

I also have a new 64 bit computer, so that may be why it ran better. Do not know how it is running for everyone else.

I plan on giving them another run next week after I have my surgery.
( really not looking forward to this surgery)
I did not find the games boring at all. The 3 reel slots were a little , but the video slots gave enough features to keep it interesting for me.

 

[kenneth2816]

Best wishes regarding the surgery..

 

[kakata]

my best wishes on your surgery....love kakata

 

[amatrine]

Thanks. I cant wait to get it over with. I see the surgeon thursday.
I am nervous as all get out.
