My sad experience with slot

[Jhonson90]

I write my experience of High Roller on Redbet hoping that can be of help to someone.
I started to play the slot about 40 days ago, I paid many times for a total of € 8k, I had a rng favorable
for only one day after having deposit approximately € 6.5k (until then I had winnings irrelevant) with € 200
I got up to 2.2k €, arrived a third of the paid-up (I wanted to recover at least half or approximately 3k €,
not that I wanted record winnings ) there has been no way to increase cash, it began a slow descent down to zero.
Further deposits for about 1.5k euro, the previous payments as usual day,
they had no relevant outcomes.
End result 8k € paid as usual 0 € withdrawn.
My humble suggestion, do not play if not for fun (then small amounts)
and if you have good financial resources,
consider them as money lost.
I hope I have concluded my experience with slots.
Greetings to all

Yes, slots are meant as entertainment with possible..possible...return, and are a terrible way to make money. In fact, they are specifically desgined to take your money. It's that chance to make $ that we play, but you should go in knowing 2 things:
1 - expect to lose
2 - spend no more than you can afford to lose.

Knowing the above, they can be a great source of fun.

Ouch.

Redbet is a pretty good outfit. If you have not already been given a bad luck freebie or two, I'd at least ask for one. I suggest you email rather than ask live chat.

Never chase losses.

Just curious... what game and bet sizes ate you alive?

Hi , to Redbet not to have asked for anything and even I was given nothing ,
the positive day won on all , the rest of the days lost on all , i have played about twenty slots,
the most popular ...Dead or Alive , Twin Spin , Raging Rhino , Montezuma , The Wish Master and others.
Cheers.

Those are all pretty high variance slots.

I would not hesitate to ask for a free chip with those kinds of losses over several weeks.

I've been comped for losses far less than that. Worse case scenario, they say no. If you do receive a free chip, make sure you read the rules regarding allowed games and max bets.

IMO casinos should offer players with bad runs a free chip without having to go begging for it.

I gave them a lot of money, I really do not feel like begging.
I hope that this lesson will give me the push to get rid of my life slots, Redbet and everything that followed.
Thanks for the support Jasminebed

Thats half your trouble there, Them games are money crunchers,

I personally do not ask for freebie either but most certainly would if lost that amount, That is some pretty big cash to lose, First of count it as a learning curve and DO NOT go chasing it,

Also do not let that put you off, Gambling should be for fun and count it as that, Look at it as if you are paying to play, If win than its a bonus,

I've been there so can very much empathise. I have chased losses betting bigger and bigger. It's awful and destroys the fun.

Luckily I feel very much in control now as a lesson learned. I deposit small and discipline myself to cash out something when I can.

I set goals on deposits etc. As the above good advice states I pay to play rather than win. Sure I hope for a win but each time I deposit I do so now with a view to probably busting out.

Use the magic formula.... Amount spent should be lower or equal to entertainment derived. It's working well for me and hope your luck changes.

If you are unable to use self control (no offence meant as it takes discipline and I initially found hard) then quit and don't look back.

I am very happy for you , but there is a problem here and it applies in general for all casino , right i pay for fun ok , no matter how much
you deposit (that matters is the proportion) i expect a cash-back of at least il 50% , i believe that 50% for the casino is more than enough.
Thanks to everyone for participating

 

[randomiam]

hit up the redbet rep here tell him your tale and he will surely kick you a freebie there good like that

 

[Perez777]

I too lost 5-7к$ in a day.I understand you.It is awful.

For a year of game there is no NetEnt of a casino, where I in plus. Only Microgaming. Netent FCKN soft (slots have max x500-700 total bet)

 

[Jhonson90]

Guys, I'll laugh, deposit 100 € , playing to minimum bet , after a incredible positive peak of 27 € (balance 127 €) with DOA
but the balance was coming down again , begin a catastrophic session to Raging Rhino always playing to mininum bet ,
with the balance a 38.32 € i run my first withdrawal losing only 62 €
Big winnnnnnnnn

 

[Jhonson90]

Now come the withdrawal of EUR 38.32, obviously the withdrawal is ironic, even they understand or pretend not to understand that it's cheaper.
I tell you honestly that I did not expect to Redbet similar treatment for a High Roller.
Cheers.

Thanks you partyhummel for your testimony, I imagined that there were other cases like mine,
losses of this proportion are not acceptable for me.
Cheers.

 

[partyhummel]

for me neither...

thats why i started chasing and it was very hard to find the brakes....

Yes ok but here you create some real holes blacks in favor of the casino, among other things I did not bet high stakes but stake for partial recoveries , it is not possible
you lose without limit just because you are trying to recover partly, there are tables with RTP for each slot, if you experience these losses that data can not be real.
Cheers.

Sure they can. It isn't a guaranteed return; it's more 'given unlimited spins and $, it's the expected return' but slots are random and RTP is across the board, not per individual player. The avergae RTP is X....however, when you come ahead with say a 110% RTP, that's balanced by those who lose and receive an RTP of say, 80% .

Also, ultimately, given unlimited spins and $, EVERY player will lose - house has the edge. Remember, slots are designed in such a way that you're meant to lose.

One problem is that many are not really aware of how RTP works. They see 96% and think if they deposit a hundred they will get around that amount back. I've even had people very confused who say to me that they have an RTP of 0%. They confuse going bust with RTP.

Some people can't get their head around depositing £100 going bust and being told their RTP was 96% lol. They forget that whilst working through that hundred they may have wagered say £2,500 giving them an RTP of 96% despite being bust.

 

[Jono777]

Including every year since I started, my lifetime RTP is probably somewhere around 120%!!!

Try convincing me of that nowadays tho

Thanks Dionysus, you were very clear and I very naive

Not naive - you just hadn't known yet and we all start at the beginning.

 

[Jhonson90]

Hi, I was convinced to write a pm to Redbet manager, see if we can do something.
Cheers.

It needs a lot of self control to gamble.... Most people who are gambling are gamblers (including me) and designed to fuck up sometimes

At least i'm much stronger and self controller than i was 10 years ago, but i still do stupid shit especially when i'm on a winning spree and start to make stupid bets...

The only thing I had to do was to play less to limit losses since the RNG was almost always contrary.
