Damn, it`s been so long since i`ve posted in here, but then again i`ve not been playing much, for the sole reason it was getting boring and predictable, I tried playing at other casinos to see if I could rekindle that spark, don`t get me wrong, they were immense fun, but something was missing, whether it be that comfort zone of your fav slot, when things were going bad and it pulled you back up, how would I know which slot to turn to whilst playing at other software brands, or shock, horror, do other brands have these old faithful slots?, or was it the vague distant memories of multiple consecutive hits that sent your balance roaring upwards, damn you MGS, I want those days back, how dare you desert me and force me to seek solace in the arms of another (i`ve gotta stop reading those Mills and Boon novels
), but anyway`s, back to my plan, I was bored, I needed a fix, I was on the attack....
Not sure about your battle plan guys but mine is thus, I allocate my gambling funds between a few casinos rather than putting all my eggs in one basket, this is for two reasons - Firstly, if you deposit all your cash in one place and it`s a poor day, no matter what, you have lost it all in one go - Secondly, if you do great it is so easy to carry on and on and slowly grind away your winnings, knowing only to well that when you withdraw the fun stops (ooer matron :xxx), so having back up deposits intended for other casinos, breaks the fall.
So, with my funds at the ready, and knowing I had my deposit bonuses awaiting for me at all the 32Red group casinos, I was good to go, first in line was Dash, deposit £50 and get a 50% bonus and 50 FS`s on IR, after finishing my spins my balance was just under £100, I stayed with IR and had a pretty good RTG, but something was still missing, my thoughts turned to my once die-hard slot - Mermaids Millions and how she was once by far the best slot out there for the hit and raise strategy, but, for the best part of two years, this aspect had all but disappeared, had the variance changed?, or was she simply balancing the books for all those special moments we shared together, I started to play her, dead spin after dead spin reminding me quickly of why I was forced to find a new comfort zone slot - BDBA.
With this in mind I loaded BDBA and began to play, all the thoughts of the previous 12-14 months came flooding back, in this time I had hit no less than 21 Sapphire and Wilds, and this slot was nigh on solely the reason, I had had my best year in online gambling out of the 4-5 years i`d been playing, but, it wasn`t to be, this was now just another of those slots that was doing it`s damn-est best to balance the books, I drifted from one slot to another, TSII, IR, Grand Journey (damn I love this new slot, it is by far the best new MGS slot out there, and my preferred slot for w/r grinds), although no wins worthy of a screenshot, I had a fairly good run, and had a smile on my face.
Next deposit was Nedplay, out of all four of the 32Red group this casino was my nemesis, deposit £50 and get £50 bonus, right Ned you tight bitch, give it to me, she did, and ploughed through my cash quicker than a two bob crack whore, `I hate you`, I thought as I clicked on the quick start icon for the Golden Lounge, same deposit, same bonus, the Lounge for me, is a middle of the road casino, she won`t get you all hot and sweaty with huge hits, but will gladly keep your balance topped up, I had a fairly good session, but still, that certain something was still missing, my thoughts starting to roam, could Piggy Riches be my new 15 win line stalwart or maybe Lucky Pirate over at Big Casino could provide enough 9 win line goodness to replace the might that is BDBA, maybe it is time to call it at MGS.
Leave the best till last, an accolade that screams volumes - Second to None, this casino has one of those rare attributes in my portfolio of many, last year the deposits to withdrawals ratios were weighted heavily in my favour, could I depend on this power house of many to rekindle that spark, you are driving me away godammit, how dare you, it was like a tired old cart horse `I`ve done my best, it is now down to one of the others, sorry`, my £50+£25 bonus didn`t last long, and with it all hope had gone, feeling dejected I set forth over to BC, maybe a good run on Lucky Pirate could raise my spirits, but, no, it wasn`t to be.
What now I thought?, I casted my mind back to 32Red and `It`s down to one of the others now`, i`ve tried them all, to no avail, hell I thought, in for a penny, in for a pound, `Right Ned, you tight bitch, i`m coming for you, you owe me`.
I started on Mermaids, and if i`m not mistaken, she is showing signs of a hit and raise run, no matter how large my balance I always start on low bet size (0.30p), after a few half decent hits I raised to .75p a spin, my heart was pumping, she was showing signs that had been long gone, before long my £50 balance had over doubled, `Come on, give me one of those awesome FS`s, from the old days` I excitedly thought ......
I raised the stake to £3.75, `Keep `em coming` I screamed....
Good God, my balance rose from £50 to over £500 in just under 5 minutes, but more importantly, it was done to the 1st slot I ever fell in love with, like she knew she was losing me, and threw down a reminder as to why I shouldn`t leave, unlike Reel Strike, MM will calm down and not take you all the way, but what the hell, I raised to £7.50 and ploughed around another £100 through MM.
I carried on for hours and hours totalling around £7000 worth of wagering fun, but this wasn`t down to the money, hell no, if only BDBA would give me a reminder also......
All I needed now was a feature from IR paying more than x10 bet, but surely, this was asking for way to much.........
I carried on playing for a while, then withdrew a nice enough amount that more than covered all my recent deposits and some, content in the knowledge that for me, Nedplay had become - Second To One
.
As is the norm for me I had a little left over and had a 100% deposit at Gnuf with my name on it, the journey continues
.......
Hope you enjoyed the story, good luck all

Congrats!!
