As we approach the end of another year, how was your slotting in 2022?

Almost all of my play this year was at MrVegas, a seamless experience for a casual player like me. Withdrawals were always in 5 minutes, and some nice free gifts from the wheel throughout the year. I did start to avoid some games because of silly low RTPs like 90% on Thunderkicks and some NetEnts. Immoral Romance plays completely differently now on 92.1%, another I avoid!

I did join a few new casinos, but within a few small deposits was asked for SoW, so I instantly closed the accounts and told them no thank you.

Here are my stats for the year, small loss, but it was a lot of fun.

Not a good year for me on the punt. Unless I experience a New Years Eve miracle (10,000x bet win) my total gambling losses for the year are AUD $45,000. It was fun though.
 
not so bad
VirginGaming still on profit £4300, skybet still looking good small lost under £100, MrGreen up£400,PartyCasino up£4300, bet365 £700 up, Pokertsarts I play more often but cant login now update I am up about £2000
Try Pokerstarts there are much better then Mr Vegas and they dont ask much
they also have fast Withdraw

I don't record my stats anymore - not like the old days when I kept detailed logs of every game I played, profit & loss, features, etc. :oops:

They used to look like this:

The red figure at the end was how much WR I had left on the bonus I was playing.
Here's that $160 hit:

So anyway - back on topic - I only have concrete figures from Videoslots, where it has been a very good year for me!

... and I still have £1,275 balance.
MUCH better than last year, when I did more deposits and ZERO withdrawals :(

At other casinos - definitely down, but I don't know how much exactly.

3rd year in a row, huge losses. But ey gambling is entertainment and entertainment only. You wont break-even, you won't win, you won't do any of that you understand?
 
I'm not proud of it, but at some point earlier in the year I did get roped into buying a Lottery ticket, and suffice to say, didn't win diddly-squat.

By my reckoning, this easily, easily puts me in the losses category, I believe to be in the region of £4 :(

Are you 100% sure about that? :p

Well, the year isn't over just yet so it'd be a bit premature to say I ended up on a solid minus - I am spinning as we speak, and if I could just hit three or four 5.000 x's over the next few hours, I'd be pretty much right at RTP for 2022.

But yeah, it was another year of donating my hard earned to the casinos. If only they were charitable, there would at least be some kind of tax return... That said, I find it to be great entertainment value in playing the slots and it's my favourite recreational activity by far. You go into it knowing the odds are against you, but that only makes the rush of hitting those big wins even heftier - and I've had a few: a 4200x comes to mind, a 3,300x too, as well as 20-25 wins in the 1000x - 2500x range, so I definitely feel like I've gotten my money's worth.

Over the entire year, I don't think I have gone even 2 weeks without playing. My spin stakes are somewhere between 0,25 and 0,50 EUR on average, so I feel as if there is some kind of damage control in place for when I inevitably encounter the cold slots. It does all add up though. I mostly play with deposit bonuses and to beat the wagering req is in itself a fun challenge and one I am surprised at how many times I've accomplished with a decent balance remaining! However, once I actually have some real money to spend, I tend to blow it all on ridiculous feature buys (looking at you, John Hunter!), so a new year's resolution for me will certainly be to hit that 'Whitdraw' button on a more regular basis!

Slots of they year, for me, would be Great Rhino Megaways and Mustang Gold. They aren't new at all, but are on my most played list, and I find them great for bonus wagering. Other favourites of mine are Buffalo King MW, Madame Destiny MW, Wild West Gold MW, or any John Hunter slot (besides Book of Tut - the sound is terrible!) - all from Pragmatic. Gonzo's Quest and Narcos from NetEnt. Also an honourable mention to Booming Games and Stakelogic whose games I more and more often end up playing. I also quite enjoy the BGaming slots and I'd happily vote for Elvis Frog Trueways as slot of the year! Another one I'm real fond of is Aztec Magic MW, while Big Atlantis Frenzy is somewhat amusing. All BGaming slots play out the exact same for me though, offering amazing wins in the start only to later on go into a balance eating mode seemingly without end. I've played a great deal of Blueprint games throughout the year but frankly, they are horrible and I'm sick of going 500 spins for a 30x bonus.

I've tried out a lot of different casinos, but like I said earlier, I tend not to whitdraw so I couldn't give a full verdict. I do find the crypto ones to offer a lot of action though, and most of them seem to run on max RTP. However, with crypto being so volatile, you might find yourself in the absurd situation of the slots being good to you but your balance when compared to "real money" is still decreasing!

As for RTP, it has been very disappointing to see how many casinos opt in for the lower version ones. I think we should vote with our wallets, and simply boycott them, because the difference between a 96% and a 94% is actually quite significant and will dramatically reduce your play time. At the very least, the casinos should compensate with far more attractive bonus offers than what has become the norm nowadays, to at least mask their greediness a little bit.

Finally, I wish you all only the best for the year to come! May your screens be full of whatever symbol it is you crave!
 
I cant say but I know 2022 was my lowest year since 2008 for deposits. Played at 3dice and a few cryptos which I knocked on the head a few months back.

3dice will get some deposits 2023 - but I cant see anywhere else I would be playing at. Unless a miracle happens with the UKGC!
But need to sort out a new crypto dep method for 3dice and dont have time or energy for that right now.

On record I think 2009 was my worst year ever I did around 100k in losses -never went back to playing such insane figures since then.
 
Good but this is only vs stats, I tend to lose more at other sites where they have my games at 96%, vs have them at 94% so they dont want a chance at getting the winnings back.

update:
£1241 up on virgin games.
£793 up on 21 casino,
£230 down on Mr Q,
all British Im not sure but likely up due to a 3000x win on final countdown
update 2: all british: deposits: £619.00 withdrawals: £1545.09 this is not only for 2022 but lifetime stats, most of it is from this year though as I was playing pragmatic there until they reduced the RTP payouts.

and that's pretty much all the casinos I play.

I won loads on bingo (and here's me thinking slots were where the money is at!) and spent most of my bingo jackpot winnings on slots. So I'm probably about even overall but way down on slots. Now they've changed the spin amounts so you can't spin more than £2 a line (and lots of sites no more than 80p a line) on most slots I think what's even the point. I get having limits but it still let's you do £20 a spin if you do all the lines-I'd rather put all that on just one or two lines and get a super big win occasionally. How you gonna win back any losses from £2 a line...but I guess that's the point. Think I'm finally done with slots this year, there's too much temptation to stake stupid amounts knowing you can't even win much back because of the stake system now. Barring a massive JP win I could easily burn through anything I could ever win in just a few hours. Wish you all luck though!

Edit-I discovered Slingo recently and that robs the shit out of you if not careful, even worse than slots imo. Back to just bingo it is for me!

Who do u play bingo with?
 
£2800 down in the year. Not all on slots, some betting as well but not much. The odd couple of quid on football or the horses.
It's Slingo that does me in. I've won loads but lost loads more on those bastards. Without them I'd possibly be even, maybe up a tiny bit.
Have decided to keep away from Slingo as much as I can although I had a little go on Da Vinci Diamonds earlier and won £99.

I won on a VF site but been playing years and pouring a fortune into their JPs that they have around Xmas and only had a decent JP win 2 weeks ago-tried really hard to make it a second win but couldn't-and played a lot of winnings back (my fault for being greedy!) but at least it proved to me how nigh on impossible it is to win a JP when you actually try-funnily enough I won the JP on my very first game of the day, sheer luck that.

Yeh I think I wish I had never discovered Slingo! Crazy how you can spend so much and common sense goes out the window when you think you can buy a good bonus round. I usually limit spins now and hope I get on the grid without buying-works sometimes but gets bit boring when it doesn't! And just quit when you hit the 100x or are up a decent amount because they can and will take it all back in the next game!
