Getting rid of the awful and seemingly persistent lag would be a great start
I do think they should bin all the bi-hourly freerolls completely and maybe run 2 x 0.20p slots on battle weekends.

The £25 Freezeouts/750 FS/£50 tickets (MRV) etc only serve to irk if you've played before that - as said, completely revamping it would be better (how Clash of Spins still exists on VS, i dunno): maybe less is more
Personally, i prefer the bigger events, maybe at the expense of the frequent 'perks' as always think there will be the odd time i do well and if so, will be semi decent.
The ad-hoc slicing and dicing (yet selling it as the same - ?)feels as if they're going through the motions before doing what they will eventually (have to?) do (revamp). Ditching the silly £50 battle tickets and re-directing it etc would at least LOOK better.
Sometimes are the victim of your previous success - it's what a lot on here grew up with since 2014/15 etc and with that comes expectations (i play at places that offer very little but as they never did then it's always been what it's always been)

Yes you can win them right after each other and in reality you can be so unlucky that that it would be 10k apart. On average you will hit a wheel once every 3500 eur wager.

Which games are lagging for you?
I just played Odin's Gamble from Thunderkick and Jewel Rush from Pragmatic and both were lagging a lot.

There is a bit of difference between the brands. VS have higher weekend booster, but the value in wheels are higher at MRV.
There are plans for a 96% brand, but without any type of promotions or bonuses. But will probably be 2024 as we are launching a new paynplay brand in Sweden this year.

How long have you had the issue?
I stopped playing like 15 minutes ago and I had it the whole time I was playing, so for around 40, starting at 8pm UK time (7pm server time) until 8:40 UK time (7:40 server time).
But I have noticed some lags recently on other occasions as well.

Dead or Alive (Netent)
Been playing on and off since about 3pm today and its every 2-3 spins it is lagging.
It was also doing it yesterday (same game)
I did manage a small session on games from Play'n GO, TK and Push and these seemed pretty much ok. (yesterday, not tried these today)
Cheers.

Can you explain what this pay and play is? Do you know if swish as deposit is coming back?

Pay and play is sites like 'Snabbare'
No registration/verification necessary, you sign up and deposit (and get verified) using bank-id.

Yes, because you use bank-id to deposit & to sign in on the site you get automatically verified.
At least thats how i think it works.
can someone tell me even one reason why to play at a casino that doesn't offer any kind of promos when the internet is full of casinos that do?

Presumably because the games will be at 96% RTP instead of 90-94%

Because the majority of casinos, like Videoslots, offer sub-standard versions of games designed to pay back less to players than others.
For example, Play'n GO's Book of Dead comes in five different versions for casinos to pick based on their appetite for profit - 96.21%, 94.25%, 91.25%, 87.25% or 84.18% RTP.
Respectively, each model will average a return of 0.9621, 0.9425, 0.9125, 0.8725, and 0.8418 credits for every 1 credit staked.
Just like they recently changed the rewards without fully-informing players, they switched max-paying versions to lower a few years back without telling anyone. Increasing profits almost overnight by lowering the return.
Mr Wild is suggesting that VS are bringing out a casino that will offer the max-models with the best returns but will not offer any bonuses to compensate.

Therein lies a few problems:
- Might well come a time where a lot of providers pull the 96's so that 94's etc become the norm (or, probably more likely, just stop making new higher RTP games as some already have i think) - so in essence, it's true a 92/94 is a max RTP casino but, er, not really in comparison
- Despite players, mainly in sites like here, disliking lower models i think you'll find they dislike no perks more....i'm sure a boffin could crunch offers and 94%'s together to say whether they like give better value than a 96% and none, but a players perception (majority wise) of what's better will gravitate to favouring the former - regardless of whether the numbers are on that side.
Other thing is as well - as new players come in and play a 92% PNG etc it becomes the norm - they may not know of others still have the higher (or care) so, for a new breed of player, they've been conditioned to shit RTP's, no auto's, 5 second spins (maybe?)

Ah those were the days, when I could put a slot on autoplay, do a chore like put washing out on line, make a coffee, have a toilet break, all with the chance to come back to a bonus waiting for me…… happy times, ripped out of existence, cheers for that UKGC!

Great to see they have reverted back to decent RTPs at Mr Vegas.
Immortal Romance (was 92%), Dead or Alive (was 90%), Book of Dead (was 91%) all back at 94%.

Dabbled in offshore the last year and seeing it again reminded me how good it was

Is this not a problem - we're now viewing <96%'s as decent?
Follow that onwards there will be a time when we think 92's are good etc
I didn't know they had upped them (only play BTG on there) but apparently had been brought in line with VS (when, i don't know)

My flat used to be spotless after a slot session when autoplay was available - all sorts got done, hoovering, dusting, washing-up... the lot. Fabulous times!Ah those were the days, when I could put a slot on autoplay, do a chore like put washing out on line, make a coffee, have a toilet break, all with the chance to come back to a bonus waiting for me…… happy times, ripped out of existence, cheers for that UKGC!
Now my flat is in a right state and I've switched to plastic cutlery and paper-plates which go straight in the bin. Thanks for nothing, UKGC!
They're not done yet either, which is a real worry...

While someone is checking NetEnt. There's a fault with balances on the NetEnt's I've tried.
I can't remember all of them But 'Reel Steal' is definitely one.
You open the game and take the first spin. the balance goes down by 1x stake (as it should), then when the spin stops the balance goes back up by 1x stake.
Which means when you leave the game your balance is actually, what's shown in the game minus 1x stake
Another problem I have is with 'Creature from the black lagoon'. The NetEnt logo loads and the loading bar progresses. Then the screen goes blank, although the intro sound plays. The after the intro. balances and stake etc are displayed. But still with a blank screen.
The game rules will show, but they are dim, like they're obscured by something.
The thing that is missing, and maybe something which is interfering with the game is the Net balance and duration info
I have the same problem on 2 different computers and using several browsers. although it does load properly on my phone.

@brianmon
The balance thing with Netent has been ongoing for a good while now, it does update every winning spin to the correct amount, then as you say, adds 1x back to the balance.
It won't do this if your about to bust out though, you just won't be able to do the final spin when you seemingly have enough to do one last spin, more of a visual glitch, once you return to the lobby your correct balance is always shown.
CFTBL problem again month's long issue, one of my faves I can no longer play, they are aware of it as it was reported ages back as they'd chosen it for Tues Madness and had to make a late change for the battle.

Regarding the creature from the black lagoon, it's a NetEnt issue, it happens in other casinos as well, so I doubt there is anything VS can do about it.
Since it's an old issue, NetEnt might be aware of the issue but doesn't want to spend resources fixing it.

That might depend on whether players are reporting it to the casinos and if the casinos are then reporting it to Netent

I do have a weird error with Thunderkick games if anyone knows a fix, only seems to affect Chrome and ive cleared cookies and cache and all sorts, still get the issue on incognito mode as well. The game loads but shows nothing graphically apart from balance and stake and spin button but even more weirdly is if you zoom in and out it appears and disappears. ? Does same on VS and MRV

Hey there,
Creature From The Black Lagoon is unfortunately no longer available for the UK region, and you therefore get this message if attempting to load the game.

Hello Damo,
What device type are you playing on when encountering this? (PC or Tablet /Phone)
And is it only when attempting to play the games in Chrome browser you encounter this?
We've tested the game, but cannot seem to recreate this in Chrome browser.
Kind regards.

Hello Damo,
I've unfortunately not been able to find out why the games from the provider would act like this when you attempt to play them with Chrome browser, but we will open a case with the game provider to investigate this further.
Could you inform me of the PC's model number and the current OS version, in case the game provider would like to know this to investigate this further?
Thanks.
Kind regards.

In many ways I admire RAW Gaming because they're trying to do something new, trying to innovate. It's risky but if you come up with something good and get it right then you're sorted.
Anyone can start a studio up and churn out rip-offs of other peoples' slots, look at Reel Kingdom - a Fishing Frenzy clone with a trail nicked from Reel King Megaways bolted on, rehashed to fuck, and everything else they've come up with is shit including any Book of Ra / Eye of Horus copies they've done. Once the Big Bass well has run dry and they stop adding value Pragmatic will fuck Reel Kingdom off. Apparently the Design Director there is one of the biggest parasitic chancers in the entire industry and it's reflected in their games.
Fair play to RAW Gaming for having a go I say. I'm not a massive fan of their Slice games or that Blackbeard's Compass (you have to look in too many places at once) but that Popeye slot is pretty good, and Big Money Bass isn't too bad either in its own way. People rip the piss out of Supertracks Railways but that game shows genuine innovation and a lot of thought has gone into it; a proper game designed from the ground up instead of taking a slot that's already been designed for you like Book of Ra, changing the book from red to blue and calling yourself a Creative Director like a complete cunt.
I genuinely hope they crack it with one of their future games and the same goes for any other studio who are trying something new and exciting that hasn't been done before; it's these guys that drive innovation and the industry forwards - look at the likes of Netent and WMS 10 years back, they were knocking out some ground-breaking stuff and players were captivated.

I Agree and wish them all the luck in the world but.. if they are reading this.. Don't ever make any super slice games again.. they are wank.
In a way im a bit excited about this weekend and the new Rise of shinobi game. Its a different mechanic once again and does actually sound promising.
Im still a bit dubious about a casino running a slot provider tho, it makes me wonder what switches they can control within the regulations obviously. Reasons behnd how hard they push RAW slots is no longer a mystery tho.
RAW have a big problem, they are forcing too much of their slots by quantity instead of quality.
They try to innovate but they lack the basics, starting with their worst concepts, the slice games.
If they wanted to make something like that, at least make the visual representation more accurate with the reality of probabilities, they made wheels with 12 slices, where you have 10 wins vs 2 losses and it hits the loss 90% of the time, multiple times in a row.
They focused too much on the Near Miss concept that they made the player lose all interest because of the lack of basic probabilities.
Then, another example is Wheels of Rock, they did the same thing with the Mag Spin feature.
It always hit the multi after one of the highest ones, just to implement the Near Miss theory, as an example, a wheel with 6 slices, 3x, 15x, 100x, 1000x, 250x, and 30x, will always hit the 30x.
Now regarding their newest games, they lack a lot of volatility for their payout, the payouts are kinda bad and they lack a lot of volatility, everyone saw that in yesterday's Mega Free Roll, over 500.000 spins were done and only 1 person hit around 1000x? That's too bad for the current market.
And one live example of how volatility can make a brand is Wanted Dead or a Wild from Hacksaw Gaming, before this slot, almost no one knew them, but when people started seeing the potential and how high the volatility was, they started getting fans after fans and today they are one of the top providers, all their fame came from that slot which allowed them to snowball into what they are today.
