What do you think, legit or not?

Why are they a scan ir ripoff??? Just because they use the old 9 line versions of the slots? They are more than legit by my looks of it?

If it was a ripoff scam then they would use other names for their slots etc. Bit different graphics as well. Which this is not evidence on.....

I just won 9000 credits on a max bet with "book of ra". Either I hit big or I'm about to have my identity stolen by Russian carders on withdrawal.

Retracted.
I was gong to say that the graphics look slightly different - but now I think that was caused by the OP resizing the images before posting.

They look different, even more when you open the game itself because forum appears to be reducing the quality of the jpg files automatically. I didnt resize first two, they are copy/paste sections of full screen screenshots and last one was resized automatically because I had to merge 2 of them in one .jpg file (5 attachements max. limit).

I was reluctant to post this but who cares, I`ll probably have to switch all the hardware and change ISP after this.
If I am wrong about this, apologies to real manufacturer because it is either well organized copyright theft or really less known and/or local supplier of the software for online and b&m casinos.

I wasnt able to connect Futuriti with this site directly but they do show same screenshots, same things that differ from the original Novomatic machines I was able to find online.

First find,
Its this site

that got me going further.
In their own words they are software developing company from Moscow, although on different site German company is mentioned as manufacturer.
Only contact information is @nerdshack email address. IMPORTANT, look for the name of the company and remember it. I am operating in slightly paranoid mode so I dont want to name it in the post.

Second find,
Chinese manufacturer selling those same looking games in form of cabinets, wooden ones or at least with wooden pattern on them, pcb`s, etc.(My favourite is the 'Transformers' game console). Company site is dead link, but profile on 'alibaba' offers more info. Contact persons last time of login was shown as yesterday.

Third find,
Same weird looking Novomatic slots, entire package to be exact. Link mentioned in this page is the same as the one in "First find" but company name differs. You can download the software, its freeware. I downloaded the file but I am not installing this on my primary HDD so this waits for the moment to be installed. Even though I like messing around the hardware too, my primary addiction is using the hardware not handling it.

Fifth find,
Remember the name of the company in the first link, watch for the name of this casino.

There is several exclusively russian market oriented casinos operating the same software, it is hard to pick which one of those sites look more "amateurish" than the others. If I remember correctly, all those are licensed in Curacao.

Here is the point where it links to normal business.
Looking for further connections, one of the two followers of the casino linked in "Fifth find" is this person Link Removed ( Old/Invalid) .
Games offered in this casino (

) which above mentioned person is promoting use normal Novomatic slots, at least it appears to be the case and from searching this forum this is what others think. I am not a member there and I need an account to play even in fun mode, not creating one.

So in the end I am not sure, those first few links dont look promising at all, but it is also a situation where I could be wrong.

EDIT: Sorry about the "Sizzling hot" screenshot, one is deluxe and other is not. Casino didnt show deluxe in name list and I was looking at the symbols only.

Gaminator remamed
We made Gaminator version with renamed logos to avoid copyright problems.

I'd say "busted"

This is only as far as the first link.

They ADMIT to making slight changes to the graphics to "avoid copyright problems", but of course this is the same way the other rip-off casinos justified it. Remember the Thunderstruck rip-off where they just took off his helmet to "avoid copyright problems" with Microgaming

this is scam casino, dont play there!
They gave nodeposit bonuses few weeks ago, but then dont pay anything to players.
If you want Book of Ra and etc slots this software better choose stargames or skyvegas.

 

[Simmo!]

It's got scam written all over it IMO. Novomatic have been ripped off more than once. There was even a stand at ICE (a big one!) from a slots company that had almost identical games to Novo! I challenged them saying they obviously copied them and the guy just smiled knowingly and said "well they are similar, yes" lol.

Hey all it is true this place is a total ripoff. I first requested a payout and it came within 6 hours via WebMoney so I thought it was a safe place to play. Then when I tried to withdrawal again they rejected the request each time. These were for small amounts mind you under EUR 200 each time. At first I was told to deposit MORE with other methods then they would give me back via those methods. They also told me to "request less money" and maybe it will work. No matter what I did I could not get them to give me a cent.

In all I deposited EUR 100 in this place, withdrew EUR 30 successfully and was left with a balance of EUR 500 in winnings. After weeks of getting nowhere and seemingly nowhere to get my money back I gambled it down to zero and put a block on my account with a request to delete it.

Futuriti should be singled out as totally Rouge and a place to avoid at all
