Winaday has bets much lower than $2.
The payouts are only processed once a week, which IMO is unacceptable these days.
Of the two, it has the better games. Slotland is very old, and the games originally coded in HTML, so no sound. Many have been converted to Flash now. Winaday came along later, and was coded straight to Flash, with most games looking more like the traditional slots, alongside the odd and quirky games that Slotland is famous for.
Although they pay on time, they have never changed from their once a week model. Having said this, the rest of the industry seems to be moving towards the Slotland model, with 24 hour pending becoming 48 and 72 hour pending; weekend processing being withdrawn, even the introduction of "bugger off Friday" at a couple of groups where the working week for cashiers has only 4 days. Digimedia casinos take LONGER to pay out than Slotland with their 10 day pending.
If you play at the weekend, a payment by midweek is not much different to the other casinos that pay after a 24/48 hour pending period that would start on the Monday.
The games are not random in the traditional sense, the slot is "eye candy", representing a simpler game process beneath. A further separate process determines the winning of the progressive. This means that the progressive winline is not "natural", which in effect makes the games "rigged". For example, a Royal Flush on the video poker games is NOT "natural", but only dealt if the progressive has been determined to have been awarded on that game. If not, the RF is impossible as an outcome, it is "blocked" from being dealt on the draw.
There are other "compensations" in a few of their games that become obvious to a UK Fruitie player after a while. There is a certain way to play their games for best value, and helpfully Slotland provides a strategy guide that gives a few hints.
