Bank Holiday Weekend Slotting Bender - Part 3 of 9
So I've just cashed out at Bet365 and I'm buzzing. Off to 32Red to play my £50 deposit with 100% DOTD bonus.
At this point, I am on my worst ever run at 32Red, as I'm on a losing streak of 11 consecutive busted deposits, dating back to late February.
Not one deposit where my RTP reached 90%. Not one deposit where I successfully cleared WR. And I only got to the
final £10 increment of bonus money (£300 of WR) twice. Grinding at low bets has simply not been working for me at 32Red.
So I decide to mix it up a bit and do something I had never done before. I'm going to play IR at £1.20 a spin.

Considering that I had only ever played IR at either 30p or 60p a spin, this seems a bit of a bold/rash/downright stupid move on my part. Especially on a £100 starting balance. Maybe that win on 300 Shields has clouded my judgement.
32Red, £50 deposit, £50 bonus, £1,500 WR. Sunday 24th May, 12.12am. I am starting (and quite likely ending) on IR.
97 spins played and I am down to £48 after a peak of £107. Not looking good so far. But the next spin brings me 3 scatters
and I pick the Troy feature, where I land the first key hit...
Pic 1 - The 3x bat lands in a perfect spot to give me 5OAKs of Michael and the campus, both at 6x. Exactly 150x bet.
Pic 2 - Total for the round - 183.6x bet. Up to £267. But a long, long way to go.
29 spins later, I had climbed to a peak of £292. A further 303 spins after that, I had dropped to £139 (my low point was £136).
The next spin brings me 3 scatters and I go for Troy again. The round is looking like it's going to be a Class A dud until...
Pic 3 - The prized double bat combo helps me get two 5OAKs of Ks, one at 6x and one at 12x. 4OAKs of Js and 9s add another £20
to the win. 107x bet.
Pic 4 - Total for the round - 112.5x bet. Up to £272.
39 spins later, and I climb to a peak of £297. And then the BIG plummet started....just 110 spins later and I drop below £200.
65 spins after that, I am below £150. 47 spins after that, I am below £100. Yikes. 75 spins after that, and I am below £50.
Oh yeah....and this is all going down while playing on quickspin. My balance has dropped by £247 in....9 minutes 54 seconds. GULP.
It's almost like that very famous film scene....but on a much smaller scale....
Mind you....give a guy enough time and he probably COULD lose $394 million playing IR
Anyhow, 35 spins after dropping below £50, I find myself with....£18.72. So over that peak to valley stretch of 332 spins,
my RTP was exactly 30%. Brutal.

But that's "bad IR" for you in a nutshell. £538 of WR to do and less than 20 spins away from
completing a dirty dozen of consecutive busted deposits at 32Red.
20 spins later and I am at £22. The next spin gives me 3 scatters. I need Troy to rescue me...again.
And he does....I get a 54x bet hit on the penultimate spin to help me to a win of £100.88 (84x bet). Now up to £122.
It took 118 spins to drop me back below £100 (peaked at £136 along the way). I got back up to £113 before dropping all the way to £50.
£227 of WR left. The next spin brings me 3 scatters. No prizes for guessing my feature pick...and he came good again, thanks to a double
5OAK of Amber, one at 2x and one at 4x. That one spin paid 73.5x bet and the total win for the round was 90.4x bet (£108.48). Up to £157
and now clearing WR looks realistic. I expected to drop below £150 fairly quickly, but it didn't happen. 92 spins later, I had climbed to a
peak of £189, before finally dropping back below £150 with just £33.60 of WR left. WR was cleared with my balance at £133.04.
I tried to get to £150, but ended up dropping below £100, 124 spins after clearing WR. s**t. Now I think I've blown it. Should have cashed out
for £125 just to end the losing streak. I drop to £51 before a very rare base game hit comes in....a 5OAK of Michael AND Amber on the same spin.
Back up to £118.
101 spins later, I am at £102. Never got any lower than £90 or any higher than £130 along the way. The next spin sealed the deal....
Pic 5 - Dammit @ no Sarah or wild on Reel 5. But still, a good hit of 64x bet. And now I can cashout for £150 at least.
24 spins later, Sarah does it again. 5 Sarahs plus a wild gets me another win of 50x bet and takes me past £200, to £219.
I spent the last 132 spins hovering between £182 and £220. Once I got to £220, I finally decided I'd had enough.
And I cashed out as soon as I dropped to £200.
After a scrap that lasted 1732 spins (but took only 87 minutes), the losing streak at 32Red was finally over....for now.
Next time...I leave 32Red and head straight over to BETAT and GUTS. And the rungood continues...
