RIVAL, It Only Gets Better

[silcnlayc]

First off let me say these things:

1. The casino has been more than kind to me in offering ND bonuses. The CS might be the best, I wouldn't know for I have had no need to use them except for the glitch I mentioned earlier.

2. Strange as it might seem, maybe there is just that ONE casino that you are not supposed to play at EVER. (never happened before, but it sure has now IMHO)

3. Maybe the "expectation" I thought should be there to be met was a little too high to be met by the casino, which made me a tad irritated knowing all the others meet my expectations.

4. The games are fun and and I know I will try not to return to play for real again, and this makes me sad.

5. I am just amazed at the payouts that they have allowed to be given, and MORE amazed at myself for ALMOST accepting it because I did enjoy they games. ( reality has hit finally with this last deposit).

And mostly, this might be a casino for some, but not for me, as me_and_ed says:

your still not going to get rich, the excitement of a good M/G or RTG hit are non existant

hits the nail on the head. There is no ANTICIPATION which a good gambler looks forward to regardless of what it costs (within their means of course) to a hit they can be proud of. I hit a few bonus rounds between $20-$50, but took that much plus more to even catch one. But when you hit these kind more than others, it's time to call it quits.

These are NOT it! No hit again on bonus round (see top left)

But I perservered to get this: Which just reinforced what I needed to know

and finally went back to one that does meet expectations and with anticipation, I hit on the third spin the LOWEST paying thing and it was over $100 for 5 OAK....this game also offers multipliers, free spin, bonus rounds etc..sad to say but Rival doesn't quite make it compared to the rest as much as I tried to believe they did.

LOL.

I had a good time with Rival this week. They sure are generous with the frequent ND chips. (though they have changed these so if you have yet to make a deposit with them it's now a $4 ND bonus)

I ran my $4 up over $200 lo-rolling on the slots. I had no big hits over $30 on the slots, but numerous re-triggers. I did hit 3 full-houses playing Let It Ride so that helped. I avoided their I-slots. (cool concept, but not so hot in reality)

I haven't even cashed out yet, and already there's another $4 free offer waiting. (and I wouldn't dare touch that before I cashout)

Yes, they are and am glad to see you enjoying your freebies. Now the reason they are generous in this, is because this would be the only way a lot of people would consider playing at their casino.

It kept me coming back (stupidly for who can turn a freebie down?) until I finally realized how bad it really is and no amount of freebies would cover the continuous losses incurred during the play in own funds. Permanently closed all my Rival accounts a while ago. Wishing you luck regardless!

the Rival slots are definately distinct from the other softwares. at least with their free-spin slots, very frequent features, but very few big wins.

not shilling yo.....just wanted to add my experience that it is possible to win there. I almost didn't bother to try as most of the feedback here would leave one to believe it's impossible to win.

Nothing is impossible, the wins are frequent, the odds of a large payout are small.

That was the issue of these slots. There is no excitement to them. Totally boring for who wants to win $1.75 for every $2.25 bet continuously? Or .90 cent for that matter? These slots DO NOT make you want to come back and play for there is no reason to.

Most slots have a payout that makes you want to play and spend and play and spend until you reach this ULTIMATE goal of hitting a "DOOZY" as I said earlier and these slots fall FAR short of this or lets say it is totally NON EXISTANT with these slots.. and the great feeling of finally accomplishing it when you hit one great win, is still not there. Hoping this makes sense.

I was truly disappointed (not realizing that I was praying that I was wrong during this time) the entire time I kept "hoping" (I am an optimist by heart) that it really was there (the big one) but kept repeatedly being disappointed for I couldn't actually believe (I don't look at the payouts for I like to be "SURPRISED" when I hit a big one) that these slots just didn't have that "BIG" one at all. Was mind boggling until I finally accepted defeat and READ their payout charts (and I had to do it more than once to convince myself)... and close all my accounts with Rival.

What about the I-slots?

What about the I-slots?

I have only played Rival in fun mode - and got no-where near the 'Final Scene' on Bank Hiest...

Has anyone got there?
Is there a really BIG prize waiting on this one?

Um, no.

I forget the exact amount (it might be in another thread a few months ago). But I made it to the end and got something like $7 (playing 75 cents per spin)

Haven't played a 5-reel slot there since.

Sorry if I ruined the surprise for anyone.

I couldnt agree more, hence the start of this thread, I was hoping it was going to open Rivals eyes, it did somewhat, but not enough to retain me, I consider it quite a shame as I have always stated, I like the software, the customer service is great.

Um, no.

After my last post I had another go - and did actually get right to the end and get away from the police!
Hoooray!!

And my grand prize....? TWO spins @ x2! What a crock of shite!

 

[tennis_balls]

did Rival obtain simmo's permission to use his likeness for the intro to their Grandma's Attic slot?

Hey do'nt knock it. I got right to the end playing at DeVincis and just before my prize it crashed!
I called them and the operator said "do'nt worry about it, you did'nt miss anything, it will just take you back to the start."
DOH!

They do indeed Rob.
It is important to bear that in mind as well when getting information from threads as older information may well not be relevant now.
At least you made good use of the search facility though November Lady and welcome to the forum.
