Jackpot Party – my experience so far

Just got the shot at the progressive!

And BLOODY GOSH it was exciting! I only won the confetti jackpot (lowest one - £30 ish) but I also got about £70 off the party picks. Not bad considering I was betting 50p. And great to know that you can actually get a shot from that betsize (take note low-rolling fans :)).

There's no scatter symbol or anything - it just pops up and off you go. Awesome feature :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

And now...CASHOUT TIME.

Happy weekend all.
 
I am on a 3 uk mobile Modem and Grace has just informed me that they don't accept UK players using mobile modems. A bit mystified to be honest.

It's may be more a question of don't "support" them as the graphics and interface is pretty intensive on processing. Unless there is some thinking that "mobile" potentially means it could be a non-UK IP address. WMS are pretty strict on this because of the need to ensure their land-based licenses don't get jeopardised.

I think its the latter. I can play fine at every other casino. My ip address points to Chorley in Lancashire so I don't really see the problem to be honest.
 
If you guys are impressed with what you folks have available to you now. For slot selection wait until you see some of the stuff I'm playing right in our US Land Based casinos. Over here WMS has a major influence in the illinois area and has a wide variety of slots, with different games, different atmopsheres, and different payout schemes. So hopefully this is something there working up to in the US for whenever we do finally decide to allow online gaming.
Right now my favorite has to be Monopoly Bigger Event. Just because that machine tells you when the system is trying for a big event, whether you get into or not. One of those neat community gaming ordeals.
I agree though, I should move to the UK to play this.
 
Hello all,

Spent much of this weekend trying out Jackpot Party – a mixed but good experience so far. I deposited £75 and it went up to £300 pretty fast and then right down to £20 before I got it back up again. Eventually made the wagering requirement (20x I think) and withdrew £225, leaving myself with £75 to play with.

Or to lose as it happens.:rolleyes:

So, some thoughts; firstly, the good. The games are GREAT. Really fun, quite different, some inventive features, good music and what seems to be a range of variance. They really reminded me of Vegas and I’ve played some of them there before. I especially liked Platea and Riches of the Amazon. Really enjoyed the bonus rounds on both.:p

Secondly, the Jackpot Party progressive feature. This is basically a randomly triggered site-wide feature where you can win one of a bunch of tiered jackpots, from like £30 up to about 10k. No, I didn’t get a go on it but I have had several on the one in Vegas and it is about as exciting as it gets. I’d be really interested to hear from anyone who has gotten it online – was it triggered by a special symbol? How much did you win? If this is you then please do let us know. It would be good to hear. Just having the feature on there is pretty exciting I think. It’s also presented quite slickly in that you can hover your mouse over the different tiers and see when they were last won and how many people have won each tier etc. Best of all though, was the info from Michael, the customer service rep:


[11:30:23 PM] ME: Do you have any idea if the amount you wager on a single spin increases your chances of getting a shot at it?
[11:31:02 PM] Michael: The amount of your wager does not effect your chances of triggering the Progressive.
[11:31:23 PM] ME: So you could actually win 10k off a 50p bet??!
[11:31:33 PM] Michael: That's correct.
[11:31:47 PM] Michael: Any stake any time.



I wonder if this means you could play 1 line and still trigger it? Thoughts welcome.

The final piece of good news is the CS. Fast, efficient and easy to communicate with. I received an email saying my cashout was processed this morning too so I’ll post an update when it hits my bank. If these guys pay fast too then they’ll be seeing more of my moolah.

Now the not so good news: Firstly, no flushing withdrawals. That’s not great in itself but to their credit this is explained clearly and honestly right in the FAQs:

Can I flush my withdrawal?
Published 11/19/2010 02:21 PM | Updated 01/10/2011 10:32 AM
No. Flushing a withdrawal simply removes the request from pending state without cancelling it; however will not speed up the withdrawal process. Withdrawals must be cancelled if you wish to make another deposit. Alternatively, you will need to wait till the withdrawal has been processed
The irritant here for me is this part: Withdrawals must be cancelled if you wish to make another deposit. Alternatively, you will need to wait till the withdrawal has been processed.


That’s annoying for obvious reasons. On the other hand if they always process quickly then I guess it’s not so bad.

No so good news part 2 – slooooooooooooooooooooooooow spins. This seemed worse during my second session which was late on sat night – perhaps that had something to do with it as I’d imagine that lots of UK players are on at that time. I found repeatedly that when I hit spin there was a delay while my balance was recalculated and adjusted. I counted a few of these and they ranged from 10 to 30 seconds. This isn’t a major gripe for me as anything which helps me to slow down when I’m playing is a good thing overall. I can imagine it would irritate some players a lot though. While this does happen with some of the other no download casinos I’ve played on it was noticeably worse here. Hardly ever happens at Boyle and only occasionally at Victor Chandler. If there’s a rep on here perhaps they could shed some light on how/why this happens and when/if it will be fixed?

Part 3 – slow loading times. Not ages, but takes a while. A very minor gripe, this.

I think that’s all for now and look forward to hearing of anyone else’s experiences.

All the best folks.


UPDATE: Just had another look on their site and clicked on the progressive video preview. Next to it, it says: THE MORE YOU BET, THE BETTER YOUR CHANCES OF TRIGGERING RANDOM JACKPOTS ON YOUR FAVORITE GAMES. This seems to contradict what I was told by CS. Is there a rep who can clear this up for me?


Have to try this one out. First time for this. Saying that it is a great place. :D I expect a lot from this Jackpot Party
 
They just released Bruce Lee (

for those who can't play it) but it's very different to the land-based version. game Of Dragons seems to be the land-based version while the new Bruce Lee is a brand-new slot but it is pretty damn good. Or did I just miss this format in Vegas?

You can get 20 free spins on this one too with stacked wilds with a certain type of trigger! :D

Spearmaster loved the land-based version of this game :)
 
Very impressed with this casino.
Played the Wizard of Oz game - a fairy godmother thing flew into the reels and gave me 3 expanded wilds. Won £110 from a 60p stake.
I cashed out a hundred and its back in my Neteller account in less than one hour.
 
a fairy godmother thing...

LOL :lolup:

I didn't realise this version of WoO had that until I played it at JP. I only ever played the 3D version in Vegas (Glinda the 'Good Witch')

Just A quick fix that worked for me and may work for others,I too had these problems joining the casino,think it may have been my ip address but i reset my home hub modem which must have assigned me a new ip address and then was able to register.
 
Haven't read the whole thread, but my experience at Jackpot Party has been extremely positive. They're super-quick to pay, even back to a card rather than MB etc. They ask for ID after a certain amount of withdrawals, but they're quick to verify it. Can recommend - one of my current faves.
 
I deposited £100 last week at JP - got £200 to play with, and after a couple of hours withdrew £870 with no problems at all.

The slots are all good fun but (and I'd like a Rep to see this part) the video pokers have an irritating problem -

All video pokers have a payout schedule above the cards. This lights up depending on the winning hand, but on JP's video poker games, the payout schedule lights up before you complete the hand (before the cards are fully dealt/the hand is finished).

Example:

I press deal and a pair of Kings come out, but the schedule lights up "winning pair" before all five cards appear.
Obviously I hold the Kings and discard the other 3 cards.
As soon as I press [draw], the schedule lights up "three of a kind" and then 3 new cards are dealt, one of which is a King; this completes the hand.


It might not seem that big a deal, but I would imagine video poker fans (like I used to be) would find it very annoying. You hold 'four to a flush' and then know if you pulled the 5th card before you even see it.

Final update

It's been about a month now since I joined and things continue to be smooth and reliable. A couple of notes:

1) Cashouts ARE indeed fast. They seem to be processed in the morning (and perhaps once again during the day?) and I've never had one waiting there for longer than about half a day. Would be good to know from a rep if there are "regular cashout times" as such.

2) They fixed the slow spins problem! Not sure if this was an issue for other people or what but it's all good now. the one thing I have noticed is that on some of the slots (Platea, Bruce Lee, Griffin's Gate) there is a noticeable momentary freeze before a win or feature drops in. Could be the machine I'm using of course. Will try to test on my laptop when I have moment. Similar experience anyone?

3) CS is FAST. Like 3Dice fast or something. So refreshing after some of the longer chat sessions I've had in the past. CS very kindly gave me a small comp after I took a bit of a battering one day too. I really appreciate that - both personally and because it makes good business sense (I'm probably gonna lose it back realistically!). A very nice touch.

That's it really. This place is now in my top three regular online gambling destinations. Most importantly, the games are FUN and it's a solid and reliable operation. A few of my best wins attached (I hope, first time I've tried to upload a pic on here).

Hope you had a great weekend everyone. :thumbsup:

I know exactly what you mean & I would find that very irritating too! :(

Grand Virtual had a similar glitch on their "Pinball" slot; as soon as you pressed "spin" your bank balance would immediately change to the value after the spin - before any of the reels had actually stopped! :eek:
Of course, it didn't make any difference to the play - except taking the fun out of it. So I used to move the game window down so the balance display was off the bottom of my screen!
They have fixed it now though :thumbsup:

:sob: please please please please anyone has information about when these horny

video slots for the rest of the world are available buhuhuhu :(


ich heul gleich so geile video slots !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Extremely disappointed with this site:

Firstly I deposited £30 and got £60 to play with played Wizard of Oz at 0.90p

The first £40 only won once where i got a win of more than 0.90p even the 4 symbols only paid 0.60p

I then got five symbols which was only £4.50

Then it crashed and crashed again the loading of the games is extremely slow.

My money was gone in 15 mins including the crashes.

Only positives the countdown of the paythrough and the quickness of the deposit but I will not be playing here again.
