Videoslots - Newly Accredited

I'll second that - I know if I have no money in my account, I don't need a pop up telling me.

Also, just as annoying, having to enter your card details each time. You obviously store them or they wouldn't be there if you wanted to do the same as last time, so why not have them for any deposit?

With regards the latter, I had this problem before but it appears to have been fixed. I can now make quick deposits but will need to re-type card details when I want to deposit an amount other than in the quick deposit section.

As to the former, it would be nice not to have the pop up, or at least have it only once when you log in.

If I am depositing the same amount as last time, then card details are saved, if its a different amount they have to be re-typed, is that the same for you?
 
Has anyone had any issues with some of the games not displaying correctly in Google Chrome? I have problems with quite a few including Drive Multiplier Mayhem, Guns and Roses, Dragon Born etc.

Videoslots recommend Google Chrome and never used to have issues but I've now switched to Firefox to see if that works better.

Hi ProbabilityZero,

I have contacted you in PM to request a few screenshots so I can look into this.

I noticed a good few connection errors as I made a small deposit, Started to piss me off as I only deposit small and does not last long to begin with and when getting cut out it seems as if starting a new game all the time, Pointless deposit in my eyes, Another note down the drain :) Other than that I didnt notice anythink but saying that I didnt get much of a chance to test,

I can assure you it was not my connection, Oh this was on Chrome

...Wanted to register to the site, while playing around in Demo mode......can confirm, i've had the same issue this morning, missing game menu Option and flashy buggy spin wheel...humm...


anyways, my real questions was....does Canadian players have access to their Live games? and which games they have.....Was looking for Immersive live Roulette and some Live Blackjack! :cool:

Same games for me in Videoslots. I would add to that White Knight in the battles. Some battles are totally unplayable and I am faced with 90-100 spins left at the end of the battle.

Have contacted you :)

I think the issue is Netent's end (reasons I think this outlined in mail). Has been occurring for a few weeks now with no sign of a fix. Thank you for looking into this and please feel free to pass the details of my mail to Netent if you wish.
 
If I am depositing the same amount as last time, then card details are saved, if its a different amount they have to be re-typed, is that the same for you?


Hi there! Yes, same for me-the quick deposit option remembers one amount and if I want to do a different one I need to re-type card details via the 'Make Normal Deposit' option. It usually will then remember the new amount next time under the quick deposit method.

However, I find that the quick deposit button only appears every now and then, it might be available on my first or second deposits and then if I go to do another deposit, even during the same sessions, it will no longer be listed under the Mastercard/Visa payment page just the normal one which requires all the retyping... Super annoying.

I have also been experiencing a lot of difficulty with depositing today-quick deposit returns with card error and says to try Poli. Which is fine, just a little bit longer process so I don't really like to use it. I know there was one error that was my bad, even once I had that sorted out on my end, I still continue to get card error messages everytime I try to deposit-both using quick deposit and the normal option by re-typing. Then when I use Poli, while the money actually does gets added to my account by looking at the balance at the top left, the page reloads with an error message saying "Unknown Error Occured, please contact support...." And so on. This is on mobile version, using the iPad, not sure if anyone else experienced this today. Can be a bit of a hassle when it should be just a simple quick click here and there really:o
 
How does 3500 free entries fit into a tournament that allows only 500 entrants? I was too late to enter yet I earned entry due to my deposits. My qualification for 7 days only started this morning. Someone didn't think this through

I too feel a bit gipped by the Freeroll Battle promotion-every time I tried to register, battles were full capacity within seconds, and the site was very slow obvs due to the increased use. I wasn't able join any battles and any upcoming ones weren't happening at suitable times for me to really play-meaning it was a double letdown-could not take advantage of the promo nor get the chance to play given my own eligibility through wagering. Also, being a primarily mobile player I rarely use the laptop so it was also extra time and effort on my part to get use from the freeroll ticket which didn't eventuate.. Actually, would of rathered a mobile-friendly reward in lieu of the battles for sure. Pretty disappointing overall, especially after lots of $$ and wagering and time spent playing of late, just wasn't worth the effort in the end unfortunately :(

Great to see Dan taking on everyone's feedback though. I get that the offer would of had some merit from a marketing perspective in some form and I am sure those lucky enough to get in on time and have some wins enjoyed it, good for them :thumbsup: Just thinking, perhaps more tailored promotions would be better suited to some players every now and then. As I mentioned, mobile players could get different rewards for example. Or, if players used the freeroll code but couldn't play maybe an email offer like "We noticed you missed out on using your code reward, please accept X FS or such to make up for it..." Maybe.. Like, for me personally, I'd much rather a FS reward instead or even just a one-off battle ticket would of been much better value:rolleyes:

The battle free give away issue has been and gone for me and I commend Dan for putting up with so much gyp about it. My experience with extreme lagging and ability to play my spins are occurring still so have no baring on the recent promo .

Oh, it is frustrating I bet to keep experiencing these sort of issues huh, sorry to hear you haven't been able to play due to the lag... Annoying. I haven't jumped on for battles for a while, is it due to loads of people playing or is the site just going through some issues? Come to think of it, I have actually had a few problems playing on iPad just earlier this evening, with a few games not loading or playing for a bit before freezing up etc etc. As for the battles, a while back though, I have also had the lagging and so on issues before... where it was so bad I could not play, or games would not load at all or constantly freeze and it always seemed to happen when I was using a battle ticket reward or when it was a game I really really wanted to have a play of LOL... All the best and hope you can manage to have a go!
 
Hey guys.

About the quick deposits, it is due to security measures we require you to re-enter your details after a few deposits. Since there are so many variables for every player there might be slight differences in how the quick deposit feature might behave.

If you guys are experiencing any specific issues with your accounts, please feel free to send me a private message and we can see how to move towards a resolution for you.

We offer NetEnts live Casino at our site, but due to licenses the developers cannot offer it to all regions, Canada for one is excluded.


Best regards,
Daniel.

Every other casino allow you to use a previous card without re-entering details, you obviously save all the details, so don't see why you have to enter them every time if not doing a quick deposit. Entering the CV2 number fair enough but not the full details. Sometimes if I am out I don't have my card so deposit somewhere else because of this :(

True but this has saved me a few times! Been on the verge of depositing another £100 a few times and then decided can't be arsed to enter details :p

It kind of serves as another reality check for me but I can understand frustration :)

I have the same problem since i updated to Win10. All the new NetEnt games dont work with chrome. But this is not Videoslots fault, because i cant play them on any casino. The only new one thats works is Jimi Hendrix. Its a chrome issue because i can play them on Edge.
 
To be fair the freerolls were giving my PC jip for a while during play. That seems to have been rectified now, so all's good. And I'm using the same operating system Adam & Eve were using, Windows 7. Someone has to!

Things go slightly awry when finishing any particular freeroll and waiting to go back to the homepage. To circumvent this problem I normally just kill the tab and re-open the site, it beats waiting for my computer to work out what's happening.

I love the freerolls and think it is a great touch by VS. The mixing up of games is great and also allows a glimpse of some slots' gameplay features that one might normally never try (like Twin Spin) or reacquaint oneself with old favourites, like Lucky Angler for example.

And the cashback system is a revelation, I wished all casinos followed suit. Deposited £40 the other day, had a lengthy - albeit losing -session and then find £9 cashback from it! Nine quid!! You can't say fairer than that!

I think VS are steaming ahead whilst quite a few others are resting on their laurels when it comes to customer loyalty. Very much deserving of their accreditation, unlike many of the other more touted brands out there I believe :thumbsup:

Where do you get the RTP from? According to the game information screen only when playing at big bets (that is £20) is the RTP 98%. Playing at under £2 the RTP sits at 94% and when playing over £2 the RTP sits at 96%.

Looks to me like a slot that needs playing on high bets?

I think it's bad practice for these providers to inflate RTP according to bet size. This to me is an underhand tactic to encourage people to bet more. RTP should be standard regardless of wager.

Totally out of Videoslots control of course but makes me avoid this particular slot.

Agreed! I must have skimmed over the percentages but I fail to see how placing higher bets will return a higher percentage!?

Overzealous on their part and more than likely just wanted to flaunt this new slot. Should've just stuck with the original number and binned the latter :confused:

humm....After verification, it's seem Chrome had a new Update recently......if you can, check if you got the Version 51.0.2704.63 m or else do a quick update by simply clicking on the upper page ^Google Chrome Option -> Help -> then *about Google Chrome* it should auto Update....restart, and this should function flawlessly after that! :thumbsup:

Thats crazy and surely must be wrong, I not an expert about all this RTP works etc but what ever happens to no matter what you bet the outcome is the same? How can this be if betting higher gives back a bigger piece of the pie?,

If thats the case than I think we can all safely put our tin foils hats back in the draw,

Thank you so much - this has worked! :)

I had uninstalled Chrome and reinstalled and still had same problem. It seems the update to the main files only occurs when you carry out the process you have detailed above. They (Google Chrome) really need to get this fixed as obviously lots of people will have this annoying issue when using Windows 10.

Its happened for years in the UK.

As far back as the Astra multiplayer machine PartyTime Double Decker.
It gave you an extra 2% or something if you played 50p spins instead of 25p.
Might have even been stuff out earlier what did it.

Some of the video machines in bingo halls like Gala, even give an higher RTP if you play on autospin

I recall many years ago when I was a party animal the fruit machines in pubs and clubs had a RTP of between 70% and at best 82%. But then we had the benefit of fruit machine activity watching.
I would often wait until Mrs Patel stuck a fortune in and messed her nudges up :D

It gives the impression of there being the ability to adjust/manipulate the RTP automatically at the very least. It does not give the impression of being random.
 
Hi all,

We get the information about the RTP from Scientific Games them self, and we made the decision to post both for big bet and not big bet to be transparent so the players who read it will then have the knowledge. It was never to our intention to post it so people should feel they should be higher than they usually do.

I talked with Scientific Games regarding this, and they are saying when you buy the five spins with a chance of hitting the "Bonus" or getting extra features that add that extra rtp or that more of the RTP in the mathematics are in the bonus mode and when you then have a bigger chance of triggering it makes your RTP better.

More facts than this are out of my knowledge but I hope this answer was to some help.

You Shark You ;)
 
Dan will you be getting the new Big Time Gaming Megaways Queen of Riches?

I know a competitor has it exclusive for first week so I've been playing in demo mode as I'm waiting for my fave casino to get it.... Hint hint :p

Hopefully you'll have it first of June?

Probability zero :)

Yes I can confirm that we will add Queen of Riches from Big Time Gaming to our site in June.

I'm not the most mathematically minded person, I roughly understand all the figures and yes, would agree-the assumption would be doesn't matter the spend, the slot should pay the same regardless right.

Gosh, I never remember to pay much attention to RTPs personally (sometimes been lucky enough to hit some pretty big wins on games that I might later discover have terrible RTP rates and/or have pretty average star ratings on review sites :rolleyes:) Hardly pay attention to how many spins I've made before winning or hitting a bonus feature and so on... (Until I have a squiz at my VS achievement lists and hover over an outrageous number and think whoa. LOL)

But, I swear there are a couple games that I find only ever seem to start hitting the wins as soon as I up my bet! But then on that note... There is the odd one here and there that for me has favoured the lower roll... Thankfully!

I second this absolutely. I pretty much only play at these two sites! I play on mobile and VS tops Rizk for game variety and there is a little more to look forward weekly to in the way of cashback and race prizes as well as the battles of course... It's a bit more interactive and has a bit of a social/community vibe I s'pose when playing on VS. But then the Wheel can give those perks if you manage a super session and a few spins add up:D I find Rizk a tad easier to navigate between menu/profile/games/news etc and the lobby reloads to all games instead of VS that reverts back to the home page when using the 'Lobby' button to exit. Rizk also has the Live Chat function as well on mobile! And... Depositing is much simpler at Rizk-card numbers stay stored in the system and all ya gotta type is the CVC code so I enjoy that aspect too! But gotta also love that both have great service in the way of Dan and the Captain! Always helpful and open to feedback, it is great on both parts! So pretty much the top faves for me :thumbsup:

It's very important to be mindful of variance as well as RTP. A slot could have a 97.5% RTP but if it's extremely high variance and your bankroll is low and/or wager per spin high your personal RTP could be paltry or through the roof.

I demo play most games now for awhile to gain an understanding of their variance. I don't rely on reviews as I've seen many reviews claim certain slots are low to mid variance and found them high or vice versa.

Apologies if this information is all obvious to you as I'm unsure of your level of knowledge.

Oh no need to apologise, great explanation and helpful! But yes, though I am aware of all those factors, I'm not always sure how to apply them or whether worrying about it would really make a difference and I think "Ahh.. What the heck, gotta spin it to win it" or "Lose some to make some" LOL maybe a bit reckless sometimes :p

I have also thought about demo playing games to see how they go, but I fear that a free play round might hit hard and fast with wins/features that as soon as I start playing with real-life money it turns on me Ha! Kinda of like when playing with a bonus, or sometimes on the VS battles, a slot will be unreal, spinning wins and free games like it ain't no thing and then when I play later and it is cold as an egg :what:

Can I ask, reading your description, I get a bit confuzzled. Say a HV/97.5% slot, would that be best played with a higher $ for example, or if you did low roll, would it be more likely to throw out a crazy big win on a small bet? I am not sure if I'm verbalising it right, but I guess when you look at some of the Winner Shots right, you can see some games paying into the high hundreds on 9c spins, and others paying less on $3 rolls.

I guess too, that would also need to take into account-was it hundreds at 9c after 2,500 spins or $85 for a $3 roll after 2 spins right?!? So many variables:eek:

Though... Quite often I'm a bit of an airhead and I might base my game choices on how pretty it is or if the features are fun ;)
 
Personally I think the higher the variance the lower it's best to roll. Of course high rolling in high variance is great if you hit but if you dont you could easily see an RTP of 5% if high rolling with low funds.

Remember high variance pay out less often but more likely to get big wins. Low variance pays out very often with much smaller amounts. On a low variance slot you could start out with £50 and quite easily see your balance only budge £10 to £20 either side in a thousand 20p spins. On a high variance slot you could bust out after half the amount of spins or have doubled your money.

High variance tends to lead to less game time as you'll either bust out or win big. If you win big it's best to run..... Willpower permitting :p

Low variance you could play for hours but could equally get very bored lol. Good for bonus grinding!

I would add that the primary objective should definitely be fun. It's pointless playing a high paying slot that bores you just because more likely to win..... A mistake I'm guilty of! However I won't touch any slot below 95% RTP on principle :)

Do you tend to favour the general RTP as noted by the casino/software or do you often peruse the VS payouts page and judge from those options which RTPs take your fancy? This is also something that throws me off a bit with truly knowing whether to put faith in the figures-maybe it is just luck after all ;) No, what I mean is, if a slot was typically quite cold/low paying for a period of time, then it hit a hot round and payed out loads-does this then increase it's RTP rating all together or are the figures listed on VS just the RTP result for that time period-like after the huge win it's RTP in X Month = 99% but the software write up says "RTP=89%" for hypothetical example-is it given that 89 is the standard/expectation that the game was designed with and 99 represents the potential it has?

I am not sure if this understanding is right either- I sometimes tend to interpret it also like say I played $100 and the RTP was 90%-does that mean there is potential to at least win back 90c for every dollar I roll? So there is chance to finish rolling with at least $90 returned?

And why oh why are some slots so hot and great RTP on one site and on a different site you go bust!? The many perils of an online slotter no doubt :o

I might have a looksie on the web and see whether the games I like or the ones that seem to hit huge are classed as HV/LV and the expected RTPs just to try and get my head around it a bit more. Also, I just read another thread about Reel Steal, and it said it is quite volatile-I guess that would be HV? I kinda feel like maybe the most solid to stick with would most likely be Mid Variance? I am very curious now, like you said about going bust or making little returns in heaps of spins and whether many people have certain games they always play a certain $ amount on. One for me would be Jewel Box, I always play 5 coins @ 2c, $1.50 a roll. No idea what that slots stats are, but that is just more superstition-whenever I have played that I have hit good and often so I just stick with it now! Though... have of course given back about the same as what it's payed out no doubt:p

Do you tend to favour the general RTP as noted by the casino/software or do you often peruse the VS payouts page and judge from those options which RTPs take your fancy? This is also something that throws me off a bit with truly knowing whether to put faith in the figures-maybe it is just luck after all ;) No, what I mean is, if a slot was typically quite cold/low paying for a period of time, then it hit a hot round and payed out loads-does this then increase it's RTP rating all together or are the figures listed on VS just the RTP result for that time period-like after the huge win it's RTP in X Month = 99% but the software write up says "RTP=89%" for hypothetical example-is it given that 89 is the standard/expectation that the game was designed with and 99 represents the potential it has?

I am not sure if this understanding is right either- I sometimes tend to interpret it also like say I played $100 and the RTP was 90%-does that mean there is potential to at least win back 90c for every dollar I roll? So there is chance to finish rolling with at least $90 returned?

And why oh why are some slots so hot and great RTP on one site and on a different site you go bust!? The many perils of an online slotter no doubt :o

I might have a looksie on the web and see whether the games I like or the ones that seem to hit huge are classed as HV/LV and the expected RTPs just to try and get my head around it a bit more. Also, I just read another thread about Reel Steal, and it said it is quite volatile-I guess that would be HV? I kinda feel like maybe the most solid to stick with would most likely be Mid Variance? I am very curious now, like you said about going bust or making little returns in heaps of spins and whether many people have certain games they always play a certain $ amount on. One for me would be Jewel Box, I always play 5 coins @ 2c, $1.50 a roll. No idea what that slots stats are, but that is just more superstition-whenever I have played that I have hit good and often so I just stick with it now!

Videoslots show the Actual current RTP (RTP paid out to players) and theoretical RTP (the mathematical odds). I always go for the theoretical RTP. If 5,000 people play say Starburst in a given week at Videoslots then the "Actual" RTP will be a realistic figure, but if say 10 people only play The Wishmaster then the Actual RTP will be meaningless as too small a sample of spins. You will see when looking at "Actual" RTP that more rarely played slots will have greater swings. Any slots can run "hot" or "cold" but in reality it is pretty meaningless. For instance you could look at Videoslots and think - hey this slot is running hot right now so I'll have a go, but in reality each spin is just as random as it always was. Likewise you could look at a slot and think it's running too cold, but in reality you have exactly the same chance whatever it's temperature.

Odds are such a funny thing. Over the course of several thousand spins you expect to have good and bad runs. If you then have several bad sessions you can end up thinking that the next session has to be good because you can't keep losing. The reality though is the same as a coin toss - heads or tails. Previous results have absolutely no impact. Yet odds still seem a strange thing because if you knew that a coin had landed "heads" nine times in a roll your instinct would be to choose "tails" as it has to turn up right?

Yup variance really does mean that if you play a slot with 97% theoretical RTP you can expect long term to get back 97% BUT this is calculated over many millions of spins so most of us who have several thousand spins will be a few percentage either side. On a low variance slot you will have to do less spins to be close to that figure. On a high variance slot you will likely need many more spins to be close to that figure. After a thousand your RTP will shoot up and down like crazy but the more thousands of spins you have the closer it will settle towards the RTP.
