North Korea and US politics

[mack341]

I'd like to add people forget very fast. It used to be the rich Walloon part which funded Flanders, now the southern part needs help the Flemish nationalists are quick in pointing out "look how much money is flowing south, oh my god...". And ofcourse the "deplorables" eat it up because they want the money to be spent on their social security and infrastructure and...

I only knew about the walloons and flemish from reading bill bryson's travel book round europe one story he mentioned from belgium's recent history which stuck in my memory also was the 'Gang of Nijvel'

"This was a terrorist group which for a short period in the mid-1980s roamed the country (to the extent that it is possible to roam in Belgium) and from time to time would burst into supermarkets or crowded restaurants and spray the room with gunfire, killing at random – women, children, anyone who happened to be in the way. Having left bodies everywhere, the gang would take a relatively small sum of money from the tills and disappear into the night.

The strange thing is this: the gang never revealed its motives, never took hostages, never stole more than a few hundred pounds. It didn’t even have a name that anyone knew. The Gang of Nijvel label was pinned on it by the press because its getaway cars were always Volkswagen GTi’s stolen from somewhere in the Brussels suburb of Nijvel. After about six months the attacks abruptly stopped and have never been resumed.

The gunmen were not caught, their weapons were never found, the police haven’t the faintest idea who they were or what they wanted. Now is that strange or what? And yet you probably never read about it in your paper. I think that’s pretty strange or what, too. "

Did the police never solve these crimes?

These were never solved but there have been people who came forth saying they knew a member but the most recent one was after that person died so nothing came of it. There's several rumours about it: one has it they were kept a hand above their heads because they had dirt on sex parties involving the "elite", or the even crazier ones say the CIA is involved

The gangsters who were involved have probably all died by now so it'll never be solved.

 

[mack341]

I'll have to read more about these theories, seems strange to kill members of the public for no reason. The story has never been mentioned in the uk as far as I know, but obviously you can read up on it now on the internet, however it never featured on uk television in the 80's and 90's as far as I know, which is odd in itself.

Yes you had that terrible paedophile child killer dutroux, the belgian public seemed to feel there was more to it iirc. Well the cia and other spy agencies do like to blackmail politicians and vips. we had it occur in the northern ireland troubles with our agencies, so you never know with child abuse cases especially if chances were missed to discover it early and make arrests.

One of Dutroux' companions Michel Nihoul was rumoured to be the one who delivered the (underage) girls to the sex parties of the elite who kept a hand above the Gang of Nijvel's heads. These sex parties are already a rumour/conspiracy tho, they've never been proven. They were called the Roze Balletten or in French l'Affaire des Ballets roses.

All interesting stuff but never any evidence.

 

[mack341]

the guillotine would be too good for that dutroux, just reading this article, shocking definitely sounds like some sort of cover up went on, although that is from 2002, so I need to read what happened next, although it's not the sort of thing you want to read really. So easy to write a damaged person off as a fantasist when they could be telling the truth, [in the case of that regina louf]

Speaking of..
1905 or 1906 the king decided guillotine would be used for executions in Sweden.
But it only ever got used once.
Im not 100%, but i think it was 1909 or 1910.
Imported from France. (the guillotine, not the criminal)
Funny thing is that when it arrived by boat, and was going thru customs, they had no idea what to call it, so they ended up taking it thru customs as an agricultural tool.

But happy citizens ranks pretty high for me personally for what makes a country successfull.

The thread made a pretty dark turn after that happy post by @Kroffe.

It's official. I live in the happiest country in the world (again). I'm probably stating something that's painfully obvious to most of the members. As you can see, any post here by any Finnish member is most likely full of sunshine and optimism Being happy seems to be in out nature

Its those 8 months of darkness.
It really brings out the joy thats hidden deep deep inside of people.
People not spending 8 months in darkness never have the need to reach that deep within to find that joy.

Does anyone know if there is a site accepting paypal, and also deposits under €10?
Im about to close my account, because the experience ive had with paypal is probably the worst ive had since i first visited the internet.
Horribly slow, now they want 103257485783 documents and receipts, id etc for a €25 deposit i made.

And i cant even use the money in my account, since its on some sort of lockdown until they have received all the documents + hair,stool,blood,urine,saliva samples.
Since i still have €9 in my account i figured i would atleast empty it before closing it.

And if anyone working with paypal reads this, you suck and the company you work for sucks.

[Kroffe]

Also, is Expendables megaways exclusive on Casumo?
Slotcatalog is usually pretty good at listing what casinos has a certain slot, but no info there regarding expendables.

Edit: Nevermind, noticed they use 40p for min stake, making the slot non-interesting for me.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Never had any issues with Paypal tbh and if I remember right the only kind of KYC they've done is a €1 transfer when I paired my bankaccount to the Paypal account.

Expendables is on Unibet but 40c min stake is just too much for me too.

 

[mack341]

they froze my account once on the basis that £2,000 had gone through it in 1 year, I explained it was mostly recirculating wins not actually new money, a couple of months and some paperwork for kyc they unfroze my account, but the upshot was I pretty much stopped using paypal from thereon by about a 90% ratio so it was their loss for being too pernickety.

It was very difficult to contact them via email messages too, not sure they've changed that, but how can you have such an online business model and then make it hard for users to send you an email

The good part is that after uploading all the docs, you'll get a message that you will be notified within 3 days. But it never comes like in my case.

I had to go through some enhanced KYC because I apparently exceeded some strange threshold for transactions. Gave up after uploading them every day for seven days. Never got an answer, never approved, account never unlocked (I can log in but can't transact), never anything really.

Yeah, i think skrill has something similar with a limit of €2000 or something before they start asking for verification etc.
So unless you are a highroller depositing €1000s at a time, you can verify your account while still being able to use it in the meantime. Wich is what i did over there, so zero interruption in me being able to use my funds etc.
I just cant understand why paypal froze my account due to "unexpected activity" on my account over a €25 deposit, and a €15 purchase.
Yeah, no shit the activity is "unexpected", i have never used paypal before.

Its not like i used it to purchase military equipment from a shady russian site or something, i paid for a €15 purchase i made on Amazon.
I just dont see how they can justify freezing my account when its clear as day to see for them that the money going in (€25) came via a swedish account using trustly, and money going out (€15) was used for a purchase on amazon.
I mean, even i can see that on the transaction-list on paypal.

And its not about the money, since its only €9 left in the account.
Its being treated like im a freaking criminal or something asking for receipts for my purchase&deposit,id, etc and i even had to send a message explaning my purchase, like what the actual F&#¤/¤/(.

To be fair, you can play it for 20p/spin, but thats without the "super mode" or whatever it was called.
How bout they just give me the full rtp&experince of the slot without forcing me to pay extra.

"here, double your betsize for more rtp and to make the slot more fun"
No thanks, id rather just not play your shitty slot.

You have the normal KYC and then an enhanced KYC at Paypal, think it is total 15 or 20K in transactions or something like that (at least that is roughly what I transacted over the years with them).

And in your case, it is a general request, don't take it personal. All those processes are very much automated.

But its bullshit doing it over such a small deposit, and freezing my account until i complete it.
I cant use the MY money i deposited until they are satisfied.

It wouldnt bother me if i could use my account & the funds deposited in the meantime, since i would just empty the account of funds and never use pp again.
They are holding my money hostage, even if its just €9 its bullshit.

StakeLogic started offering multiple RTPs for their games too.

The Expendables MW comes in 96.02% and 94.02%. Make sure to check the help files.

20p is minimum bet without the SuperStake.

Yeah, i noticed that a while back when i saw that "super wilds megaways" at vs.
Think it was running at 94,5% or something.
Never tried it, but i saw it later on another site and they had it set to 96ish %.

Its a pretty fun slot.
Really throws you off that the top row of symbols dont move to the left when they get used, instead a new one just appears.
Bonuses can be pretty nice if you manage to land the mystery-win symbols while having a decent multiplier.

 

[Kroffe]

Speaking of megaways.
Wouldnt a Secret of the stones megaways slot be kind of fun.
Replace the wildreel-stones with single wilds on reels 2-3-4, rest can be kept as is more or less.

Im guessing Netent aint dont with megaways.
Will be interesting to see what slot they go with next.
Or maybe they create something new thats not based on one of their own slots.

Below the current game release map from NetEnt. No Megaways in the list but then they are done by their shining new subsidiary Red Tiger and I don't have a similar roadmap from them. I would think there will be more "upgraded" MW titles coming up over the next year. Imagine Gonzo MW, SotS MW, Starburst MW (although they have already a Starburst PowerPots version planned) etc etc.

Infinireels? Is that the same mechanic as El Dorado Ininity Reels?

Any idea what the red games are clones of?

Something like Starburst or Berryburst Megaways would simply be like Queen of Riches or Star Quest, do we really need another one of those? Get us DOA MW: 117649 wild lines!

I think they made a decent debut with piggy riches megaways.
Lets hope they dont just start releasing clones of other megaways slots going forward.

Jack and the megaways maybe.
With upgradeable wilds for the bonus.
A walking wild in the basegame would also be something new for a megaways slot.

InfiniReels is NetEnt's own trademarked game engine. No clue yet how it will look like.

Long Pao = Jack Hammer
East Sea Dragon King = BerryBurst
Happy Panda = Divine Fortune
Happy Riches = Flowers

Yeah, DOA MW would rock!

Speaking of online payment methods..
I made a coinbase account (cryptocurrency) when i was going to play at 3dice.
Turned out to not need it, so have never used it.

Got two mails today from out of nowhere inviting me to earn Stellar lumen and some other new crypto called orchid something.
2 minute videos and got $4 for each orchid vid, and $2 for each lumen vid.
Ended up with $24 after about 10-15 minutes of not watching the videos.
You have to answer a question to prove you watched the vid before you get the reward, but if you know anything about how crypto works, you really dont need to watch the videos.
About $22 was left after i finally managed to get the money to my skrill-account (conversion fees and whatnot i guess)

Wow, this sounds even more like a shill-post than my doa-posts. But i dont really have anything to gain unless i post my referal-link, wich i wont.
Im mostly wondering if anybody else is using coinbase, and if these kind of offers are once in a lifetime or if they happen more frequently.

Apropos speaking of Megaways, you have two interesting titles coming up soon, two more bringing movie/cartoon characters on to the reels

Rick and Morty Megaways - Blueprint, release end of Feb, IIRC, 27th, built on the hilarious adult cartoon series
Beetlejuice Megaways - SG Digital, yes the horror movie is going Mega..... release is 21st April

I have more faith in Rick&Morty megaways i think.
Not only because i like the show, but ive not been impressed by any sg slots so far.
Ill for sure ty both of them tho, unless they choose to go more than 20p for min stake.

True, but to be fair, there are not many slots out there that features Canadians.

This one probably does.

I cut out the watermark in the top-left, but restored the image perfectly.

 

[sufferinsilence]

There's some casino's that offer Blueprint, and Merkur, for Canadians.

Maybe your local government casino will add the SG Megaways come 2025

 

[Kroffe]

Thought this was a bit fun.
Not seen another site do this before.
I accidentally googled for rizk instead of adding the full adress.
When you search for a casino, no matter wich one, a couple ads will show on top of the normal results.
The ad i have marked more or less say "Dont bother playing at rizk| No fuss, just play| Luckycasino

Pretty cheeky.

Saw that atlantean treasures have 10p as minstake.
Finally my time to win the mega moolah jackpot.
A wonderful rtp aswell. 86.78%... Before we remove another 5.30% for the progressive jackpots.

No, you have to add the 5.3%.

Overall factory RTP is 92.08%.

The original Mega Moolah has 88% base RTP and roughly 7% jackpot contributions

Ooh, then it was not quite as horrible as i thought.
Still lower than the original moolah, and lower jackpot contribution.
But im still gonna give it a few spins

I mean, its technically possible to win the mega jackpot on 10 right?

 

[Harry_BKK]

You have to play all lines, no matter the bet size. That is the only requirement in the Mega Moolah series to qualify.

However, the chance of triggering the jackpot wheel is directly relative to your bet size.

With a smaller contribution to the jackpots, I assume the wheel will trigger less frequent or pay more often the lower jackpots.

I have triggered the wheel a bunch of times on the normal moolah on €0.25.
Even hit the minor once (if thats the on thats €100)

Back in happyfuntimes-bonusgetting times i would sometimes waste spend the money on jackpotslots if the t&cs allowed it. Most of the bonuses would have jackpotslots contribute 0%, but some would still allow you to play them.
Probably missed out on a bunch of cash-outs due to that.
But its pretty exciting getting a spin on the wheel, even if the chance to get anything other than the minimum amount is really small.

When I use to see north korea in the latest forum posts list, I looked forward to reading some news from the world of politics, that was one of my few enjoyments in life can we revive it, or is it because Donald was cleared, will win 2020, that the umph has gone out of things?

I think the dem debate was last night, I saw Joe make a cock up about 150 million deaths due to firearms since 2007, which was aimed at sanders, bernie also got heckles by planted audience members regarding cuba and china, which annoyed him.

ps. I don't mind the posts re slots and queries, but be good to have a few of the old style posts to keep a nice mix
