Default My Online Casino Experiences

Well I'm not the best math guy around, but it seems like there are some value in casino bonuses that are relatively easy to clear.

The first thing that I look for is a good 100% bonus without a ridiculous amount of roll over. Then you will want to see what games count as a wager. Ex. At X casino you have to wager over $2,000 to clear your bonus. However, you'll want to make sure that table games count. Some casinos you can only clear the bonus on slot machines, which makes it very difficult and decreases the value of the bonus.

An example of this came when I deposited $100 at 32 Red. I talked them into giving me a 100% up to $100 bonus, the normal bonus was 25% up to $100. After a little bit of jabber I got it. Without thinking I deposited before looking at the bonus wager requirements. I then read that Pai Gow, Black Jack etc did not count for the roll over. Usually Pai Gow is my favourite game to clear bonuses because of the amount of pushes.

So after some peaking around I noticed that paper rock scissors game counted towards the bonus requirements. This is great since there are a lot of ties. With a 5% commission it can still be +EV with the bonus. I ended up clearing the bonus and only losing $50 of my original deposit. So after all said I made $50 for having some fun placing small bets on paper rock scissors.

Right now I'm in the process of clearing a $200 bonus on LuckyAce casino and 888 casino. Both these sites allow players to clear the bonus on any game I'll give a report on how it goes in the next days.

There might be, but that require disciplin. I tried this. At this one site, after reading an article.

I managed to even. But didnt get the bonus, because it required a 100x playthrough. rofl.

And after blowing 1300 dollars in 5 minutes on Carribian Stud the other day, I'm banning my self from any casino.

hehe

Hi ya!

Yeah it definitely takes a lot of discipline. If you have any degeneracy in your blood it might be safer to avoid trying to clear a bonus at a Casino.

What casino were you playing at?

I don't remember realy, could have been GoldenPalace Casino, or some PirateCasino thingy - I've probably blown 1k on Casinos the last mounths (not counting my 1300d Carribian stud adventure) in order to feel something, other than what I was feeling. Lol. Yeah, I bet that is many peoples motivation.
It's just stupid to play at casinos. UNLESS- you play to have fun. Recreational Casino gaming - god bless, go nuts. Just avoid Casinos when you are emotional unstable.

The Carriban Stud malfunction was on Carbon Poker.
I betted like 200dollars pr. hand. lol - luckily I only had a fraction of my Bankroll in the sites vaults.
Actually, it was on Norwegian "indepence day" - and I played 2/4NL after that, and won 1500dollars. So I managed to come out ahead. But it was still stupid.

Those bonuses are rare though, because of all the bonuswhores that have discipline and make money with these bonuses.

But some sites let you play an hour with there money ( $500 to $1000). When you make a profit, you can keep that money you won. Most of the time you need to make an deposit in order to withdraw (plus you can't win more then $1000 etc). Sometimes the money you win goes into a bonus account, and then you need to meet a playthrough requirement (forget those).

I will see, if i can post a link here....

I received $30 bucks for free from some random casino. I decided to play Caribbean Stud..got to about 150 and lost half and the other half on blackjack. I haven't really had much of a chance to play many of the slots. Are they very enjoyable?

Maybe take down a sick jackpot, that would be cool.

You would be completely insane to play online slot machines. My girlfriend did it with play money for weeks (don't ask how she could find that fun I have no idea). She won shitloads. They are obviously rigged to have about a 120% payback with play money and probably about 80% with real money.

I'm always tempted to play the Genie Slot machine on 888.com and LuckyAce casino. Something like a $2.3 million jackpot! But who knows what their payout percentage is..

Jackpot slots pay the same or less than a slot with no jackpot. - all the jackpot does is create more variance to the player.. in the case of slots they'll lose faster. Its great for the house , bad for the player.. but somehow the house attracts a whole bunch of people to it that don't see this its amazing.

I can see how slots can be addicting though. I would of said same thing about how lame playing online slots is, till one day I tried it and won 25 free spins right away off my $2.25 bet. I ran this up to like maybe +$80 before 25 free spins were there. I was like well I'll keep spinning till thi $80 is gone. We I can't recall the exacts but over a few day period I found mself up as much as $1600ish and never down. I eventually quit up like $500 and it took a lot of resisting to not play them anymore. Like a few weeks to get it out of my system because yeah online slots are pretty pathetic lol

I've been slow rolled too many times to continue playing slots.

First time at the casino: I hit some kind of mystery spin and all these alarms went off. I thought I broke the machine at first and then all these people are like you hit the jackpot. I'm like ooo? What did I win? They tell me one of three numbers for the mystery jackpot. So I had to wait for a slot attendant to come and then I noticed the three sums that I could have won: $28 $2,300 or $12,000. Attendant came up and handed me $28, frick.

Ugh those two times sucked, but really slots lose.
The next time I thought I won a $100+k, the slot machine is called "Red White Blue" and I thought if you hit three different colours of sevens you win the progressive. Well I hit three sevens of different colours and started jumping around. I was with my buddy and he got excited too, until it only paid out a few hundred...apparently the sevens had to be colour coordinated... hence the red white blue.

That same thing happened to me with the colored 7's and I had the worst red white and blue combo because I only got paid $75 or perhaps I had just one quarter in can't recall the specifics but it had looked like I had won the jackpot initially.
