RIVAL, It Only Gets Better

[silcnlayc]

Beating myself up for being a dummy! (blonde that is)

Ok, I decided to give it another try becasue I really do like the games...I talked myself right into another frustrating session and no words can compare to the ones I am calling myself...I am admitting defeat...I will not play in real money mode ever again at this casino...::::slapping self::: Let me know what you think of these...and then the ones after I left this casino in total frustration.

At least something GOOD came of being so grrrrr....I think maybe the reason I have kept going back is because I really did expect to play for longer than I have and even win something DECENT just to PROVE to myself it really is a good casino..but they have proved me so wrong...which is hard to swallow right now because I still like the games and knowing I won't ever play again for real which makes me very sad. I hate giving up on something I really, really like...

5 of a kind plus 2 wilds all for a whopping $32 dollars at $2.25 a spin...

5 of a kind all for ...wait for it....9 bucks.. at $2.25 a spin

5 of a kind with 4 wilds all for... $50.25 at $2.25 a spin

Decided I had had enough, when I went broke..and went to English Harbor...spun a few times @ 2.25 and hit this...too shocked to take a screenshot..and it automatically went into free spin mode right after the hit..starting to cheer up...cashed out...

and figured...I need a tad more cheering..so I went to Roxy for a few minutes.. and was spinning at $2.25 once agin and hit this..

Now that is what I call a nice payback for the agony I went through in beating myself up..

5 Scarabs, you got the luck, those damn bugs are hard to hit!! I do love that Cleo Pyramid game. Talking about agony, I played the Real Deal the other day, took an offer of $153.00 and had the $500 case, next feature ($2) spin, took an offer of $272, what an ASS, had the $1000.00 case, still pissed.

Well I dont know what they did to the slots at Rival, but they completely and absolutely SUCK! The line pays are so bad its insulting.

I played 3 of them for $50 each playing at .75c a spin and did NOT either a) hit a bonus round or b) win more than $10 or c) get past the first round of the i-slot. Shame as I think they were on a good thing with the unique slot idea.

Bring back the old paytables - at least I won sometimes.

Im off to uninstall as we speak....

I wonder why?

He tried to 'spin' the 'unspinnable' and the forum chewed him a new one. Let that be a lesson against underestimating the intelligence of the players...they'll fry you for it!!!

Rival Slots

Hello everyone,

We've listened to our players, including all the posters here on Casinomeister.

We've gone over and reviewed all of our 5 reel slots with your comments and observations in mind, and are pleased to announce all of the 5 reels have been improved. Everything from the gameplay, to the wild payouts, to the paytables, has been modified based on player feedback. These changes took effect at 7PM EST, today.

The games play exactly the same in real or fun, as you have noticed. I encourage you to try the games out in fun mode to get a feel for the changes that we've made.

I look forward to hearing from you either by email at rob AT rivalpowered DOT com, or by PM, or in this thread.

Thank you everyone,

Rob
Rival Technical Support

Well, if its anything like the last 'upgrade' then i may as well just send a cheque straight to 400 group.

I did a quick download again of paradise8 to have a look, and what do you know?.....i tried to select a slot and it gave me a nasty flash movie error and shut down.

Sorry for the skepticism Rob, but you did more or less say all this last time and it was a dogs' breakfast.

If you give me $20 to try it out again, I will - but Im not spending a dime of my own again until I do.

 

[me_and_ed]

I will give these guys credit for persistence and at least trying, I received a managers N/D bonus of $50, I must admit they are definitely better, The Dog Pound Game is still for the dogs though, the pay tables have been raised but not to the original state befor messing with them, the free spins have been reduced from 15 with a 5x multiplier to 12 with 3x, I did hit one feature in approx 200 spins. The For Love and Money game was much better, I hit 4 features in about 300 spins I would guess ( I never kept track this time as I thougt this would be fluff again), here are the feature screens, a definite improvement.

HUH?? you jes teazin this ole gal now aintcha????

If that is an improvement...then I must be missing something! I do love the free bucks tho,to try them out which they have been more than kind in sending me...and as usual, went bust...nothing exciting or earth shattering...not even a single tingle, sad to say... :-(

A definite improvement over the last "fix", still not enough of a ROI for me, it was nice at least getting features though. I believe to some they will find this respectable. I give Rob kudo's for sticking it out. ( I am in a kinder gentler mood today, god damn drugs!!)

 

[Nifty29]

Thanks for the PMs Rob - the games are much better - but still didnt win.

It was nice to get some features I agree

Now how about some 20 or 25 liners??

 

[Nifty29]

Update----


I got a $10 login bonus today and got it up to $500!!

Looks like you CAN win on these slots now people....might be worth another shot if you havent played in a while.

Thanks again Rob for joining in the discussion and taking the advice of players seriously. A lot of Casino Managers could take a leaf out of your book.

I checked out the dog game last night and it was hitting very nicely. Lots of free spins and some very productive ones, too.

Too bad I was playing for fun.

IPlayed the new 5 ring circus slot lat night. Even though it's still not paying out what I think is acceptable compared to other software slots (eg MG), it did provide better hits than anything I've experienced in the past from Rival software.

This btw was real money

 

[Nifty29]

I tried the new Pantasia Casino (same software) and had a good run on the Art Heist I-Slot - I was stuck on the same level for about an hour though which was a big boring - ended up cashing out as I got sick of waiting to see the next scene. Seems to pay better than before though.

The graphics are a bit slow on my PC, which isnt a problem with other software so it must chew up a fair bit of RAM.

 

[Zoozie]

They now publish the payout% for each slot. It can be found under
the help for the slot. They range from 96%-97.5% last I checked, which
is very high.

I gave Da Vinci's a whirl the other night on their free $10. I was down to about $5 betting 75 cents per spin and hit 5 scatters. The pic is after the feature... got around $225 bucks out of it. I can assure you, I've NEVER hit that much on a bonus round there -- even when betting much larger amounts. Things seem to be looking up for vid slot players. But... I haven't been able to hit squat on on their 3 reelers anymore... Oh. And no, I didn't cash out as everything was pretty much dead after the big hit and ate it all up. I did have fun playing, tho.

Might want to keep playing in fun mode.
I think I have gone downright stupid for ever playing at this casino again and thinking it has changed for the better ...I will never listen to all the "good" things about this casino from this forum again for it is truly the pits...

Whatever anyone thinks ...this is one casino that needs to be stayed away from in my opinion...there might be one or two sessions in between many awful ones some of you are hitting but I have yet to have ONE good session in all the months and money I have invested...and no spouting how great the changes are will ever change my mind again....

And to put the icing on the cake, I have told tech support about all the many times I have been booted on the very last bet, whether its in blackjack or slots and NOTHING has been done to correct this...and to prove this point..I went and played with my last 15 cents just to get a screenshot..maybe now they will listen and fix it for others that are having this problem!

See the fantastic FEATURE hits on 12 spins x 3 times the win...yea right... How in the world can anyone hit something this awful and not think this casino sux over and over again????

Issues brought up by Silcnlayc

Hello everyone,

Based on Silcnlayc's messages, we did find an issue that popped up where if, in blackjack or videopoker, the last bet was a loss and the balance was below $1, the server returned an invalid error message to the client. This issue was fixed as soon as Rival was notified.

The screenshot posted appears to be a different issue - I was able to track it to timing based on the error number displayed - it appears that the client is sending a bet request with a balance of $0. This results in an error message, after which the game is refreshed and may continue as normal. I have forwarded this to the slots team. It's extremely helpful to quote an error number when contacting customer service, as they can forward this information to Rival.

I do apologize for these issues. Rival is committed to player satisfaction. Silcnlayc, I have messaged the manager at the casino regarding this incident and I trust he will look after you.

Cheers,

Rob

Well I decided to play again last night ( after I said I wouldnt), they have definitely "spruced" things up, hit multiple features, your still not going to get rich, the excitement of a good M/G or RTG hit are non existant, however I met a $700 w/r with relative ease,you can win, and great customer service, anyway here is a screenie of a feature from last night, as well I hit $48 on another and a bunch of $10-$15 ones all from .75c.

Heeeyyy... I've not seen that circus game! Who has it? I usually play at DaVinci's though I also have an account at Paradise8 -- but I haven't seen that one. Is it new?

Nice hit.
