Hi Katymae21,
Thanks for the suggestion.
Funny thing... as I was looking through KasinoKing's website I saw Ladbrokes banner had a paypal emblem on it so I checked it out and thought it would be as good a place as any to dip my toe.
Ladbrokes is a household name here in the UK and I have used their high street betting shops many times in the past so I know the company is established and trusted.
I only deposited a small amount (a measly 10) but took advantage of the welcome bonus promotion they have running as well.
I downloaded the software to my pc and decided to try one of their slot machines.
I chose a multi-line machine called Lara Croft Tomb Raider.
I was able to choose how many lines I played and how much to wager per line. I chose to go for 3 lines @ 0.05p per line which I worked out to be 0.15p per spin.
However, the machine started charging me 0.75p per spin.
I'm pretty sure I'm not missing anything here, and 0.05p x 3 definatly = 0.15p, so I have emailed support to ask how they work out their charges. Hopefully I'll get a reply today which I'll report back on later.
In the meantime, does anyone else here use Ladbrokes? Do you know of anything I am missing in my calculations (rake/intrest/etc)? Anyone else have similar or other issues with Ladbrokes?
Thanks & gl at your chosen reels,
Uther.
My first reaction is
Why didn't you take their 50 free, no deposit offer?
You could have tried their games with no risk!
I have no idea what you did on Tomb Raider - but I have NEVER had a problem like that ever with Microgaming slots, so it is probably something you did wrong. 75p is the cost of playing all 15 lines - sounds like you didn't reduce it to three.
It also sounds like you have no experience of playing these type of bonus video slots. I know some people like to play less than max lines, but that increases the variance and I would not recommend doing that if you want to low-roll. You're better off doing maximum lines at 1p/line IMHO.
Now I think Tomb Raider might be one of the very few slots that have a 5p minimum at Ladbrokes; the vast majority are 1p. Unless... are you playing the Flash (no download) version of the casino? I have a feeling most of those versions are 5p minimum or even fixed coin size.
The download version is much better & gives you more betting options.
{Edit after checking} Tomb Raider is 5p minimum in the download casino, but you can just play Bush Telegraph instead - it's exactly the same slot, just with different symbols and is only 1p minimum.
As for experience with Ladbrokes... well I have just a bit!
Apart from when traveling somewhere all day, or being where there's no internet connection, I have played Ladbrokes casino every single day without fail for the last 2+ years! (And on & off before that since 2002)
The reason for that is they have daily promotions for slots and regular promotions for other games which are by far the most generous in the world IMHO. They have lower wagering requirements (WR) on their bonuses than any other casino I've ever known. Anyone who plays casino bonuses and lives in the UK but does not play Ladbrokes must be a little bit mad in my opinion.
Last year I received 3,959 in bonus chips from them.
And before you ask - no I don't work for them!
I just genuinely think they are the best casino on the net.
Any more questions, just ask here on the forum - there are loads of people here who will give you great advice!

that's really strange because the lack of promos/bonuses is my ONE grumble about Ladrokes. I deposit quite a bit but since the welcome bonus, Ive never had a no deposit bonus from them and until only recently, no free spins either. The latter has improved - but only in the last couple of weeks (Ive been a member for over 2 years) with 5 free spins on Hellboy and free spins on Avalon.
