Worst Few Days Ever - Various Sites

Just needed to vent. I've been on a terrible losing streak the past 6 months or so, but the last few days take the cake! Had an operation earlier in the week, as I haven't been well for some time, so thought I'd spend the time off recovering by playing some slots at my regular sites, and maybe trying some new ones.

What a disaster! I'm honestly at a loss as to why I can't hit a win anymore, regardless of the casino or particular game. I haven't been playing silly either, so only betting in proportion to my balance, eg. Large bankroll $1.80 - $5.00, smaller bankroll $0.18 - $0.90.

This is a rough history of my play, and approximate expenditure, over the past 5-6 days, in no particular order:

Videoslots - $380, no bonus taken

Guts - $150, no bonus taken

Bgo - $50, +50% reload

Tropezia - $400 (2 x $200), + 2 x 100% bonus

Monaco Aces - $400 (2x $200), 2x 100% bonus

Best Casino - $75.00, 100% bonus

Leo Vegas - $320, 3 stage welcome bonus (100%, 2x 50%)


There's probably some I'm missing too! All the first and second deposit bonuses were brutal in particular. Best casino deposit lasted about 3 minutes, and the 50 free spins returned $0.00. Monaco Aces were the worse! Two large bankrolls literally gone in minutes, and only ONE free spin feature hit across both deposits, which returned a massive $2.80! It's mind boggling the run of luck I'm having. Even across the other sites, it was, and has been, impossible to increase my original balance. I lose, might hit a small win to break even again, then lose again. Just been a consistent cycle.

The worse part is, no one offers comps after large losses. The general response was, well we gave you a 100% match. I can understand that, but when you lose the deposit and bonus in minutes, the 100% match counts for nothing if your rtp is like 10-20%.

Anyway, just needed a platform to vent, as I can accept losing, but this last chapter in my ongoing losing streak just did my head in.

Anyway, thanks for the shoulder.
 
That's a lot of sites in a short period of time.


Feel for you mate - it's rubbish when you can't hit a cows arse with a banjo - everyone hits these patches every now and again.

Maybe a good time to have a step back from the online slots for a bit and come back in a few days/weeks when they will have hopefully warmed up again.
 
Ooops, that's some money lost!

I suggest a small break, otherwise you only want to win back your losses.

When having bad luck, that's what it is, I always go back to the smallest stake you can imagine when playing full lines! 0.09c @ MGS 9-lines older slots is an example. Then go to 15 lines and so on.

5$/spin? On what bankroll? 5$/spin is when you have 5-600$, otherwise you are almost doomed to be toast.
 
Thanks for the comments.

Yeah definitely taking a break for at least a week. Have some free spins from Leo Vegas, so that will do me for now.

It is a lot of sites in a short time, which should indicate how quickly I was losing my deposits. You'd think those kind of deposits would give you hours of play time, sigh. I won't be chasing my losses, but in this case, I was chasing entertainment value because I'm off my feet and bored out of my mind!

When I say $5 spins, it's with a $300-$400 bankroll, but by no means consistently. I like to kind of use the rotate method of play intermittently, if that makes sense? So betting in a cycle of $1.80, $2.40, $3.00, $3.60, $4.20 and so on, until I hit $5 and then reverse and repeat the cycle. I'll only do this a few times, and generally stick between rotating between $1.80 - $3.00. Hope that makes sense.

Like I said, my losing streak has incorporated higher rolling and lower rolling, so lady luck really isn't being prejudice in her approach. I'll live to fight another day (as long as my op heals ok, lol) but just needed a release before I went koo koo.
 
This post is a like deja vu of the past 5 months or so where I joined a nearly every casino under the sun, taking welcome bonus offers and making subsequent deposits as I could not even complete one bonus. It was a bloody nightmare I tell you, and just when you thought it couldn't get worse, these slots kick you down and bleed you dry. It has gotten to the point where I'm almost scared to deposit now, nearly everytime you can tell the session is going to be a stinker from the first couple dozen spins, and whilst you're thinking it's only a few spins, 10 mins later, with a shocking RTP of 50% or so, you can't do nothing but sigh and shake your head once more.

So OP, just know you're definitely not alone. These slots can be extremely volatile, a few days of pure heaven where you can rack up thousands and hit constant winners to the polar opposite where you being a one-way charity account for the casino. As people some people say you win some you lose some, but even here I'd be happy with win a few and lose most, just not all! GL if you decide to keep playing and I hope you get some nice wins soon!

Your lucky it's only lasted for a week ;)

You should definitely take a break. I just don't see the point in playing when the games are returning so little. I think that would really be the definition of insane continuing to play games like that when it's constant losses. Take a week's break see how you feel after that.

On the upside you have a nice cash-back comp waiting at Video Slots for you :)
 
5$/spin? On what bankroll? 5$/spin is when you have 5-600$, otherwise you are almost doomed to be toast.

I personally would say that 5 USD/spin is for bankrolls of 5 000 USD and higher.
Imagine playing 5 USD spins on Tutankhamon or Isis... Or even, let's say, the old 9-line Thunderstruck. I shudder at the thought of how fast the money would be gone with a 500 USD bankroll. :)
 
Thanks for all the comments people. Your advice is sincerely and duly noted.

Just to clarify on the $5 bets. It is a random treat every now and then just to test the luck of hitting something at that stake. Definitely not a regular occurrence. That's not to say in the past I haven't gotten carried away with it. But I do so knowing full well I'll lose my balance in a heartbeat, and accept the risk. This losing streak I've been on has not included such kamikaze play, as the longer you lose, the quicker you start playing much more conservatively. Not to mention that it seems like the games dry up as soon as you up your bets to that kind of amount, causing the paranoia and conspiracy theories to start settling in, lol.

With a bankroll of $300 - $400, I'd estimate playing $4-$5 spins only a handful of times when I decide to intermittently play one of those cycles I spoke of. In the past when I'd get to around $1,500 - $2,000 up (which seems so long ago now) I'd usually wager $200 at $5-$9 a spin in the hope of hitting big before cashing out. If I hit big from that, I'd repeat the cycle at a higher level, say $10-$15 spins, and so on. Struggling to remember those days though.

What are your thoughts on heavy losses with bonuses, and a comp offering if you lose the lot? I'm not demanding I should receive a comp, as this is at the casinos total discretion, and I loss fare and square, but if I ran a casino, and a new player made 2-3 high deposits and loss quickly, strictly from a business perspective, even if they already had a bonus in play, I think I would offer a $15-$20 comp. My thinking is, if a player is making those kind of large deposits, this is the kind of customer I'd like to retain, so offering a small show of goodwill, will hopefully ensure repeat business from the client, no? This is of course speaking as a customer who does make these type of regular contributions, and will return if he likes the casino, and especially if the casino shows this type of personal service.

I mean due to my recent losing streak, I only went on this recent new casino splurge so I could try my luck with a bonus boost. Before this I only had a regular 2-3 casinos, and I asked them before hand if they had a bonus to offer, to which they replied no. If they could assist me they would have gained all the deposits I listed and more. So I am generally a loyal customer, however like most consumers, I also can be bought by that little extra offer. This is one of the main reasons I continue to return to Videoslots despite spending thousands and never making a withdrawal. They offer that little extra back, so I keep returning. What are all your thoughts on the matter? What are your expectations when deciding on what casinos you want to remain loyal to? Personally I expect great service, and like a little extra from time to time when I'm pumping thousands into a business. I don't think that's too much to ask, as any business regardless of sector, will offer loyal customers either discounts or added gifts and incentives to return.

Without sounding ungrateful, because we take what we can get I suppose, I've always found it interesting when I see others on this site get excited over a $5-$10 comp with wr, or 5-10 free spins, when it is compensation for spending hundreds or thousands. The balance doesn't seem right to me, when my butcher will knock $20 off a $100 bill, or my mechanic will give me a discount of $50 on a $350 bill.

Like I said, not having a whinge, but interested to know what other players think, and their stance on what they like and expect from a site. Allows me to evaluate whether I expect too much or too little, and will ultimately give me a better perspective on which sites are, or aren't doing the right thing.

Hopefully some of you are willing to read this long post to respond, lol.

Cheers.
 
Maybe you play too risky?

I mean i play at least 3-4 times a week, and i also have at least (usually) 1-2 cashout a week.

My deposits are usually between 50 and 80 Dollars, i take bonuses... And when i made it through wagering and have more then 250$ in my balance i usually cash out...

I used to be totally different but the way above is the only way that allows me to play constantly without really loosing a lot of money...

Cheers
 
I do the same betting style I'll take a bonus hit something and then up my bets as I go along. I've read that some members grind them out on a low variance slot but where's the excitement? You could win again.

I'd also offer a free chip. I've closed many accounts because my first couple of sessions were just that terrible it left little incentive to return.

Have you considered maybe changing games? I've been playing allot of Live Black Jack and recently just discovered Roulette (very recent) which I actually don't mind as it's an easy game to play you just put chips all over the table. I've been going really well and just the other day turned $50 into four days play time and a $600 cash-out.

How about changing software providers? I know you aren't a fan of Netent but is that because of their new slots or have you tried their old slots as well?

It's funny, because I hate physical slots and never play them, and hate other virtual casino games and will only play the physical versions of those. I'm all messed up!!

I'm not a huge fan of Netent because I find there slots in particular to be harder to win anything over my starting balance. Basically I don't ever remember making a profit on one of their slots. I only win once I've lost a lot, so essentially always only break even at best. Until recently, MG are the only slots I've made a profit from with relatively smaller stakes, hence they were my favorites. If I do have a small session on Netent I do try to stick to the older slots.

I think maybe my biggest problem is I'm a creature of habit, so I always play the same games. Maybe I have to branch out more.

Yes I think that's a good option or take a break. But do you want to take a break? I've had this same conversation with mates who often hit the B&M and tend not to return with anything. There's definitely an element of fun. You could tone down the deposit amounts. You could start depositing less and taking bonuses and betting more. I think bonuses have more value to them when you up your bets. That way at least your not spending as much and you still get to play.

I've had a decent amount of luck on Netent more so than MG (funny how that works) but I only play the old games. The new games spell death of a bank roll. There are other softwares as well such as Rival and RTG (I've never had much luck on RTG but that's just my experience). Have you ever tried the Play N Go games at Video Slots? My recent cash-outs from playing the slots have all been from them. They are my favorite and your pretty much guaranteed a decent win on the features so it's not like your playing to hit the feature and then it returns nothing.

I've closed my accounts at a few casinos until I can be bothered looking at them again. IMO that's the best way to take a break.

Anyway just some suggestions but yes definitely branch out more :)

Losing streaks happen. Today I deposited at 4 sites and lost on the lot of them on small bets. I lost on the following sites:

Vera and John
Leo Vegas
Casino Luck
Nedplay

As Slotster says right now I can't hit the side of cow with a banjo:lolup: Anyway the deposits were 50 each per site and I got a bonus with three of them. I am a tad teed off because that's my gambling budget gone for while. But I did enjoy the day so its not all bad. Gambling does has its ups and downs. For me this week it is all down. Hopefully I will get lucky in a few weeks time. :)
 
I sympathise Azzuri. I had a 5-month run like yours, until it suddenly turned last December and I made 3k+ in a couple of months. I am now back in the doldrums, albeit making only small deposits since March. It's almost as if your computer, wherever you play, has its own long undulating RTP and the sites/games you play are irrelevant - nonsense in reality, but that's how it seems from your own point of view.

I would suggest low deposits and small stakes on HV games, until you hit bit, then go on LV games with a higher stake from your winnings. That's the strategy I follow sometimes, and it's good when it (seldom) works....:)
 
I think you def need a break. But I also know how you feel. I've joined like 7 casinos in the past 4-5 days and lost in all except for BetAt and Guts. At BetAt i deposited 25, lost it. Deposited $75, won a little playtime then lost that. Deposited another $125, this time I managed to get my bank roll up to $800 playing Thunderstruck and Ladies night!
No cash outs as I thought I could hit the 5 wilds playing Ladies night! Just a feeling. Never ever hit 5 wilds in my gaming history. lol

That makes two of us. No five scatters either. Been on this thing for two years. I'm sure the day will come... Eventually :nod:
 
One thing seems sure, for me anyway, you can't force your way out of a losing streak by repeated deposits. As time has gone on I have really understood what it means to be a 'recreational' player.

It's uncanny, when you play to win, you don't and then when you don't expect anything it starts hitting again.

You should definitely take a break. I just don't see the point in playing when the games are returning so little. I think that would really be the definition of insane continuing to play games like that when it's constant losses. Take a week's break see how you feel after that.

$27.00 cash back at Videoslots from $380 of deposits in two days! I was expecting much more but Lucas said it's correct. Doesn't seem right to me.

That sounds about right in accordance to the weekly cash-back promotion. Maybe it just feels like it should be more. Still that's a nice comp. Good luck :)
 
1st of all hope your feeling better after the op, I would suggest not playing slots as stress levels I bet are going threw the roof :)
My bad luck started just after the new year, I have had a few hits nothing major but I only deposit 10 -20 uk£ but can easy accumulate 20 deposits a day

Start of the week I had a good start I thought my luck had change but yesterday was a bad day and didn't seem to get anywhere, Deposits gone in a instant, I did see a quick glimps about cash back on video slots, Im not sure how that exactly works but its also to do with the profits the site made also? I was expecting a good bit of money back once and I think I received £11
Gona try my luck again so happy spinning all
 
That's really rotten luck Azzurri I also suggest take a breather and just do freebies any freebies you have not done yet its far less stressful as you are risking nothing. I used to win on bgos free extra bingo alot that gave me a good bankroll hopefully win it again soon! You should check out the thread of low/medium variance microgaming slots on this some really gems have been suggested but some are only available on the Download casinos :)! Good luck in your future sessions!

Another idea is this begin at say kathmandu at 9p when you win over 100x the bet or something close change to another 9 line game this time at 9x2 then 9x3 and so on follow this pattern at all 9 line or whatever you fancy playing try and stick to games no more than 20 lines though and then your betting will not be so high. After doing all the download ones if you are into a profit then go onto flash and begin at 9p and repeat or if you are feeling lucky begin at 18p ;)! I will tell ya something I once won £200 betting at 18-27p on Thunderstruck original you really do not need to bet big to win big on this and if you are lucky you can catch the spins at 45p I was a little peeved as I missed it by 1 spin when I tried 5-10 testers at 45p though!
 
i know the feeling about seeming to lose every deposit at every casino you play as seem to have been stuck in the same rut. But sometimes luck will change as yesterday I deposited just £10 in guts as decided not wasting money till get paid later this week as lost enough so £10 will play for 5 minutes lol. Anyway played for a while and eventually put the last £5 on 5 football teams in sports which won and paid £60. So played a while and withdrew £80 last night. As it went into neteller after about 2 hours even on Saturday night went and said ill just make a small deposit in 32red as didn't see point wasting money as ill keep it till of work next week. Anyway didn't matter what I played at 32red the slots kept paying. Eventually withdrew £1000 as had enough playing and left £100 in it. Well happy with that tho not having weekend cashouts a pain lol but wont be reversing any. Just shows you never know when luck will change and you will win again. Fact it was from a very small deposit makes it sweeter for me lol. So if anyone keeps losing you never know your next deposit might just be a lucky one.

Might have to get back to 32red next week by the sounds of it. Congrats everyone on your wins, and hopefully by sharing your stories, some of that luck will rub off on to me! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the advice too. One of the reasons I'm a fan of MG slots is because you can start at those 9p spins. :-) Much easier to stretch a small starting balance, and greater chance to increase it.
 
Another deposit, another loss, what the hell is up with these goddamn slots. Only managed to clear 30% wagering, 2 bonus rounds, both less than 10x bet on Playboy. Money gone once again at the start of the week and within the blink of an eye. This is bloody insanity I telly you. Well off to make another couple deposits at a few other sites.
 
$27.00 cash back at Videoslots from $380 of deposits in two days! I was expecting much more but Lucas said it's correct. Doesn't seem right to me.

I don't think this is based on deposits as much as playtime, much like comp points, I have had back to back weeks that were in the $20's, before that I had as much as $368, I am so cold right now that $100 deposit doesn't get me 20 mins, took last week off which was good, don't even feel like playing this week.


Edit: Just read the other post that it is based on profits.......had no idea.
 
Well there goes another one. The only consolation was that I completed the bonus this time, the negative is that I lost a majority of my balance in the last 10% of wagering and by then there was nothing substantial to cashout and the games all went to the crappers again. I think the only way I'm going to win anything is by not making any more deposits.
 
Just made another two deposits, $100 each, the highest I got was $10 above starting balance and once again the deposits lasted a 10-15 minutes or so at 60c-75c bet. I could understand a few months of losing when your making a small deposit or two every week but here I am making several ones each week since the start of the year with each deposit averaging $100, unable to hit dead diddly squat. If I could get 2x my balance I can guarantee you I'd be out of there like a speeding bullet. But when you just can't get past your initial balance and your either going bust within minutes or just going up and down and unable to get that elusive win that would give you even a small cash-out amongst the hundred deposits you've made, the frustration is just beyond tipping point. I have no debts, make decent money, but I really cannot just continue depositing hundreds every week to be given freeplay-like sessions with no opportunity to cashout. I guess this might be a sign to just quit it altogether :(.
