Question Your biggest bet by accident?

[dunover]

DaVinci Diamonds - £200 a spin when I had meant to do £20. £20 was the line bet and there are 10 lines and I stupidly wasn't paying attention. No win.

DVD is a 20-line slot. That would have cost you 400. Please re-do this story.

9 euros in Captain's Treasure.
And no winnings.

Very eagle eyed spot there sir. Took me a while to confirm because if you have no balance DVD won't let you see the betting options so had to wait for a bonus to come through.

So I stand corrected...it was 20 lines @ £10 a line and happened on 23rd Jan 2016. Unfortunately the outcome remains the same - no win

NYX Gamings Dolphin Reef or something, had lost 30€ and wanted to win it back by depositing another 30 euro. thought the bet/line was the amount you bet so i bet out 20 euro, realising it i lowered and accidentally bet 10 euro the spin after.

High retardness there

Last year at Betsafe - $1400 on Merlins Magic Respins - Had never played the game before and changed the stake to $4 at the bottom - Plus something on the side bet - hit spin, and was $1400 poorer

The most I ever accidentally spun was 3 euro and I was pissed about it. I was so shocked to read about some of you spinning on upwards of 100. I hope you all got your accounts refunded

If anyone has any luck finding a casino that refunds accidental losing bets...please drop me a PM with the details

Again, nothing like that has happened to me *knocks on wood*, but I would hope that the casino would be understanding

Incredible stuff said:
"Can't recall it ever ending well, but one of the first times this happened was @ 32Red, and i remeber them returning my balance.. "

 

[trickster]

More then once yes...

Can't recall it ever ending well, but one of the first times this happened was @ 32Red, and i remeber them returning my balance..

Also once got my balance reinstated @ Nordicbet, when they still took Dutch players, but on all other occassions igot zilxch, and never won a biggie yet, at least per accident.\

I've heard many players complain about it, that's why am very careful in betting, especially since the max is so close to the spin!. But am surprised that some casinos returned your balance...Great casinos indeed!

Today

Worst example today, playing Gorilla's gone wild on mobile on minimum bet, you can increase betsize from 1p to £2 per line by holding down the trigger button. £180 gone in about 5 seconds

 

[Lotus350]

£20 on starburst no win. And £2 on western belles and it spun in a £153.00 win will still stick to minimum bets though

 

[me_and_ed]

$500 land based in Vegas, had a few goes, kept giving me $1500, the worst thing even though its $500/spin each $1500 was a taxed hand pay......bullshit, came back to Canada earlier this year after 10 days in Vegas with 13 tax slips totaling just over 11k US, time to fill out the tax form and try to claim it back.

 

[Valhalla]

Mine is pretty boring -
I'm normally fairly sharp, but a while back I hit a £10 spin on CFTBL and got free spins.
I had all these awesome possibilities going through my mind but I'd have been chuffed with even 50 or 100x bet.

Alas... it was a shite bonus round. No wilds unlocked, and £40 won

 

[jumboshrimp]

Pretty much always start CFTBL with 20 cents but hit $20, screamed NO, take it back, it's a mistake! Nobody listened. Watched scatters on 1 and 2 reel and then nothing

 

[jumboshrimp]

I hadn't played slots in about 4 years and gave it a go about 5 years ago on Maple casino. Been awhile in other words.

I won a good bonus I think on Avalon and took a break. I remembered the freerolls so I checked out Loaded. Somehow or other I was trying to get to the tourney and pushed go to game.

So I upped the bet to max and settled in for my 5 minute freeroll. A minute later I'm saying this is ridiculous they usually give you more money than this, I am going to be out so I dropped my bet by half and I think my last spin I hit the bonus at $2.50 bet if I remember. I got the line of girls with a wild on the max multiplier:notworthy.

I upped the bet back to max and kept playing the 5 minute freeroll. About 7 minutes later I am thinking this is way past 5 minutes and then you could almost see the gears rotate in my mind. OMFG. HALT. DESIST. Stop all operations.

I got out of there with $750 from about 80? I was up to 1500 if I remember all the numbers right.

 

[theapple]

actually it was just a couple of days ago, thanks to MG awesome feature where space activates max bet and i just switched from playing netent games :x

Im a religious lowroller (betting more than 90p per spin is a sin ) so i usually bet 1-2 coins max. Not to mention i decided to give a go to yet another slot i havent played forever, Lucky Witch and that one is super streaky and 20ish dead spins on a row are not unusual for it

guess i got super lucky and those damned wilds finally connected (only first 4 reels with an owl or whatever was it) and i got $120 out of $3 spin lol. It happened another couple of times long time ago, but i never actually hit anything by upping bets on accident, so this time it was kinda cool and it paid out for my other... 40ish odd accidental 10 coins bets. I still hate MG because of it though

 

[tataru]

Do not remind me...

It's been roughly a year past, I accidently hit 50 Euro instaed of 50 cent in
the bet selector of the quickspin game Goldilocks@mrGreen.
I immediately contacted customer support to ask if they could give me my money back
but I got a "no" and they didn't even throw me some freespins or something.

I mean, if they looked at my betting history and also that I only deposited 50 Euro
they could have known that it was infact a mistake.
But I do get why they didn't give me my money back as it still could have been intentional.

Needless to say I was rather . Still had another 50 Euro paysafecard if I remember
correctly. Otherwise would have been even worse.

Not going to happen to me again, ever.

Accidentally but the Crypto slot King Kong $500 bets on autoplay back in 2009-ish. Did not end well.

How many? That is NOT a good slot to bet big on...

 

[09237653]

I did £22.50 on break the bank again once, of course it was a dead spin and wiped out my session in one spin.

What annoys me is that way they always default at max bet when you load it up, I usually play jack and the beanstalk at 20-40p, so of course it makes sense that it comes up on £20 a spin by default.

 

[SlotGrinder]

Why is there a max bet button which instantly spins as soon as you press it ? The slot should only spin if you press spin (or setup autospin) . A few stupid times I have made £125 bets whilst trying to do £5 bets on a 25 line slot . Trouble is the max bet has no second stage where you can realise your mistake . If you press max bet and it sets the bet size to huge but doesn't spin yet then you still have a chance to realise your mistake before pressing spin

Also , sometimes the betsize/balance info in general is hard to see and the default betsizes when you load the game up are sometimes huge . Obviously it makes much more sense from a gambling responsibly standpoint to make the default bet of every slot be the minimum bet (with full lines)

Overall it's obvious that the slots are subtly designed to encourage these "mistakes"

 

[interlog]

Strange that the UKGC has put all kind of restrictions on auto play, reminder pop ups etc, yet hasn't forced the slot designers to stop setting a very high bet size when loading up the slot. Now that is something worthwhile and something that I would support.

 

[Jono777]

Agreed!

Another 'wonder' is why Raging Rhino and Montezuma open at 0.40p and 0.30p bets respectively at pretty much most sites, yet at Leo Vegas they both open at £1.20 bets

 

[Adriana B]

That is why I love Videoslots. You can set your max bet and it will never go above it. Unfortunately, I hit max by mistake on Leo Vegas and you know how that ends ...... Caught it after about 5 spins but it was too late by then.

Also why the hell has gamble/collect not been pulled? Because gambling on red or black for a win loss of a potentially large sum is sooooo responsible right enough!!
