Grand Hotel Casino, 20th October. £150 deposit, £38 bonus, £7,600 WR. *
* Had no intention of attempting the WR. The plan was to try to get to 2.5 times my starting balance (to £470), then quit IR and cashout (which would mean forfeiting £95 in bonus funds) for £375.
So I had some kind of "exit strategy".
I started (and finished) on IR at 90p a spin.
1,912 spins played - I reach my peak balance for the deposit, £402.
3,081 spins played - I reach my valley balance for the deposit, £7.
3,176 spins played - my balance is at £46.
Spin 3,177 - 3 scatters for only my 12th feature.
I picked Sarah and I finally get my first 100x win....
4 x 5OAK of campus and of Js, 2 x 5OAK of diary. 146.66x bet.
Total for the round - 165.4x bet. Balance up to £194.
3,312 spins played - my balance is at £144.
Spin 3,313 - the base game gives me my second 100x win...
4 x 5OAK of Sarah, single 5OAK of Ks. 126.66x bet.
4,797 spins played - my balance is at £244.
Spin 4,798 - 3 scatters for my 28th and final feature.
I chose Amber and it delivered the third and last 100x win of the deposit...
5OAK of diary. 101.66x bet.
Total for the round - 146.5x bet. Balance now at £375.
4,885 spins played - I quit IR at £313 and after forfeiting £63 of bonus funds, I cashed out for £250.
That would end up being my last cashout in October. And it was very much a month to forget.
Except that I will never, ever forget it.
I finished October with net losses of....£4,350!
Which makes it the worst month of slotting that I've ever had by a considerably large margin.
My previous worst month in terms of net losses was February 2016, when I suffered a net loss of £2,125.
And this comes just 3 months after the best month of slotting that I've ever had.
Net losses in 2019 (as at end of October) : £3,025.
