Videoslots - Newly Accredited

[Video_Poker_Pro]

I was playing that new slot and all of a sudden I got this error message. I contacted live chat and they have escalated it to the games team. Book of 99 slot by relax gaming.

Maybe VS just decided because it has a 99% RTP that they saw a lot playing it and decided to make this error happen to stop people from playing it hahaha.

I am not wanting a reply from the rep as I have just escalated it already with live chat. I was posting it here in case others had the same error and it is now not letting me play the slot, every time I press the spin button it just pops up that error message lol.

Cant find the game.

Cant find the game.

maybe they took it down until they fixed it? I can still access it from the new games tab at the bottom!

Also just goto this link! Old / Expired Link

Hi @DreamRJ,

The game has been taken down, and it's unlikely that it will return. We took down the link as you couldn't place any bets anyway.

Kind regards,
Team Videoslots

What do you mean it is unlikely to return? Why? Is it because it is 99% RTP? And you do not want to have it because of that reason because the RTP is too high for your liking?

Do you a screen shot of 99 rtp?

 

[DreamRJ]

Do you a screen shot of 99 rtp?

No, Just google the game name you will see it is correct!

 

[pinnit2014]

Bet if Relax did a Book of 92% they've have it on within minutes

Jesus, are VS really that miserable/skint?

 

[Video_Poker_Pro]

No, Just google the game name you will see it is correct!

My bad, thought it was exclusive.

Did you not check the RTP before you added it

 

[pinnit2014]

Thinking about it they were probably looking at it upside down and thought they were giving folk a Book of 66

Then someone noticed 99 and all hell broke loose.

[Downsman]

I played it in demo at the Relax site...couldn't really tell it was 99% RTP.
Dunno what i was expecting..big hits every second spin i guess.

 

[DreamRJ]

Well it is still pretty disgusting that VS have now made the decision to just not have the game at their casino! Just because it has a 99% RTP. VS really are driving more players away from their casino. Just shows they must be having financial issues if they are removing slots with higher RTP. Just shows to all us players that they are trying to fleece us all every time we deposit and play their!

Team Videoslots when they read the bold part

 

[Downsman]

1% house edge is ample surely?

 

[pinnit2014]

1% house edge is ample surely?

A staff member in Mr Wild has previously stated only 50% will do.

 

[Kroffe]

For big hits every spin you need to play Book of dead or alive.

 

[kennygamerboy]

How you all getting wheels I very rarely get them even though I deposit a lot and play all different slots

 

[Lemon]

1% house edge is ample surely?

If you factor in Jackpot Wheels, Weekend Booster, XP contributions and so on, they probably stood to run that slot at a loss, and that's before associated running costs, tax and so on.

 

[kidgloves]

Wow, I can't believe they took it down and it won't return. Just poor and screams that they did it purely on percentage purposes. I managed to give it a good 2-3 hour bash last night and went up £100 on 20p spins but eventually lost £80 by the end of the session so even 99% could give you a rollercoaster ride.
I guess if you were a higher stake player and it behaved with percentage, you could bump it closer to 100% with the weekend booster thrown in and that's just too much for VS in terms of margins for them.

 

[kidgloves]

Lemon pipped me to it Makes me wonder who's job it is to accept new slot percentages if this one slipped through the net.

 

[kennygamerboy]

I don’t see the sit and go battles meant to start at 7 aren’t they?

[scott dickson]

@Team.Videoslots since you decided to remove book of 99 are you going to compensate the players that had alreay got some progress towards the 99 books for the bonus?

 

[09237653]

So book of 99 lasted a whole day, didn't even get to play it once.
how much XP and weekend booster does 99% rtp provide anyway? Not a lot I would imagine.

 

[deepsky2]

If Videoslots removed because of the high RTP shame on them. What's wrong with having a few high rtp on there profile of games are they that greedy? Well we all know the answer to that. Sickening just pathetic. Can you give the reason Team Videoslots for the reason and can you be up front and honest instead ignoring or beating around the bush with excuses.

 

[kidgloves]

They've shot themselves in the foot by putting it up then only to remove it within 24hrs. Could have avoided all of this negative publicity if they'd checked out the game in the first place prior to hosting it. Nobody would have been the wiser to that decision.

If only the name of the slot might have given them a clue of some description, then all of this could have been avoided.

Maybe we could start some sort of Casinomeister Charity Drive to help Videoslots out in their time of need.

Must admit, I did think it was some sort of Ice Cream menu based slot

 

[colinsunderland]

They will probably have the updated version on site tomorrow, Book of 69, then remove it quickly as they realise it's running at too high an RTP.

99% is a high RTP for a slot but in the case of Book Of 99 it's:

1) A single slot out of many that VS have on their books
2) Still runs with a house edge, so over time the casino will make money on it

I play mainly at Unibet.com these days and they've got the 98% slots selection, which it's nice to have available but it's only ten slots and with the best will in the world no one's going to keep plugging away at the same ten slots forever.

Looking through my 'last played' list on Unibet, which keeps a record of the last 15 slots I played, only one of the 98% games are even on the list. (Twin Spin, which I do have a very soft spot for, but that's the case even in its normal 96.7% RTP version, so the fact it's the 98% version isn't even what motivated me to play it.)

I think it's a dick move for VS to remove Book Of 99 on account of its high RTP, maybe a focused enough player could tip it over 100% long term with the perks (such as they are at VS these days), but even there the casino always retains the 'we reserve the right to close your account' in the T&Cs if they're not happy about that. (Or they could do one of their famous SoWs, which seems to have the same effect )

(And the volatility of slots is so high that the 'advantage player' would still be taking a serious risk with their money, on a game that, remember, still has a solid house edge. I kicked Book Of 99 around a fair bit in demo play on the link dunover posted and it's a spicy bugger, and it will chew down a balance if you catch it wrong.)

As players we all know that, ultimately, our function in the relationship is to hand over our money to the casino, but for VS to be so blatantly 'FU' about it speaks volumes IMO, but then, that's why I stopped playing there early on when they started nerfing their RTPs.

 

[geordiecolin]

I fail to see why such outrage? Who lost a lot of money on the slot before it was pulled?
Mistakes can be made and they have pulled it. Since they reduced rtp they have introduced a number of ways that give us back. Those ways seem to be more in favor to low rollers than the high rollers.
Give them a break

What like the change to the weekend booster where they basically just keep some of your winnings and then give them back to you at a later date?

That was a very pro-player move.

If you're an online casino laying out what VS do in promotions such as -

• Weekend Booster
• Monthly weekend slot battles with extra 5 x €250 prize draw
• Clash of Spins
• Jackpot Wheels / Trophies
• Frenzy Mondays
• Tuesday Madness
• Epic Thursdays
• Mystery Fridays
• Saturday Madness
• €30k Monthly Grand Freeroll Battle
• XP level Bronze/Silver/Gold/Diamond wheels

then you might not see running a slot on 99% RTP as being cost-effective in this current hostile market. I mean, I'm just throwing it out there. You can't have high RTP's and loads of free shit every week, so a compromise has to be reached somewhere. I'd rather have promotions and stuff to look forward to - that's what makes VS different.

There's also every chance the slot could be abused somehow with bonus funds or there's a major problem with it of some sort, and that's why it's been pulled. Oh no! I'll have to play one of the other thousands of slots instead - some of which still return over 97% RTP if you look hard enough. The absolute fucking state of people in this thread sometimes when something happens they don't like. The usual suspects too. Turn it in for fuck's sake...

I bet you Team Videoslots will avoid answering this. It would nice Videoslots that you can reply this question and would be appreciated.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Let's have a moment's silence whilst we all feel very sorry for the poor casinos and also give thanks for all the free stuff they generously bestow upon us, we are truly not worthy.

That didn't happen to existing players though did it? My Weekend Booster still works how it always did. I think they removed it for new sign-ups and maybe jurisdictions that outlawed bonuses and promotions. And when something gets taken away something usually gets added back to compensate - Mystery Fridays being the latest new feature.

I would hate them to join the countless casinos that turned their back on the UK market.
Even if they never provided us with an exclusive promo again or are willing to cooperate with a game providers promo.

It's still a change that negatively impacted players though, even if just new players.

And it's not like VS are the only casino that run promotions, there are other UK facing casinos that still manage to offer various perks without taking the axe to RTPs, which is by far and away the single biggest thing that's going to hurt player results. (We've all seen the 'expected playtime' spreadsheet, which shows how brutal relatively minor changes to RTP can have on a player?)

Videoslots wanted to maintain their profit levels in the face of changing market conditions and a challenging UK situation, I get that, but let's not pretend they decided to do anything other than have their players take the hit instead of their bottom line.

Be honest. You just love to biatch about everything and videoslots are your target this evening

I lost the weekend booster because I had a 6 months break, it sucked

If new players don't know about it, how can they be affected by it? That's a complete non-argument; they should have joined sooner before it got taken away.

Yeah I'm well aware of bust/extinction rates based on house-edge - it's not rocket-science and I am most certainly not the average 'man in the street' when it comes to gambling, I can assure you of that. I can see things from many sides, thanks.

I don't see how, in the current climate, you can take such great offense to a business discontinuing something that stands to cost them money, if that's what has actually happened. Would you rather they laid a couple of people off so they can continue giving money away? Have you been impacted yourself by this, or are you simply trying to whip up a storm and get offended on behalf of your Youtube viewership? I suppose there might be a crusade in this somewhere but you just haven't quite got enough hooks yet, and there's only enough material for a poxy 5 minute video as things stand... I don't think this angle of outrage has got enough legs to be honest - removing a 99% RTP slot is hardly a scandal is it?

Maybe something will turn up next week ? I hope it's not 3Dice ?

 

[CasinoNinja]

They have videopoker slots running at 99% odd, why remove a slot of the same rtp?

If any anything it's something positive for å change.
