Anyone actually win at Rivals anymore?

[eishagirl]

To all the ones having problems with the rivals and supposed security issues, you could write a nice formal email to support or the casino manager, and explain with great sincerity that you have been a loyal player at quite a few rivals, and all of a sudden you are having this problem, and some may correct the situation.

I did this one time because what happened with me in the beginning of playing with Rivals, i opened an account at all of them, but some i used a different username or email, and evidently thats why my account got flagged.

I got alot of them to overturn the promotion ban, but some remained, so i just stopped playing at their casino. Hope that helps.

 

[labell]

great advice eishagirl. I've done that several times, and play where they fixed it. They said to ask for a manual review of the accounts.

I'm sorry, have to blow off some steam, please forgive me.
I just got lucky with a small deposit again at Dendera, So 80's again, I love that game.
Started with a 75 balance, 1500WR to clear.
Hit absolutely nothing on the scary's in the beginning, playing minimum bets, then I played some spins on Bitch in Time, which also paid zilch, as usual.
But then I got lucky on So 80's.
Was running out of balance, only playing 30ct. a spin, hit the freespins for $160, wow!
Then some nice hits on Love and Money, brought my balance to $270
Only 600 playthrough left to go.
Should be easy. Should be, is not.
As if the games KNEW it.
I played the entire balance back, no more free spins, no more bonusrounds, no more linewins, all the games DEAD, not just a little dead, but EXTREMELY DEAD.
Hole in Lost, Moonlight Misery, Foreskin Payout, Kill the Birdie, Metal Detector, Baby Boomers Cash Gone, Fart Heist, Bitch in Time, Winter Nightmares, Fixer Downer, played them all, low bets, no pay, all dead.
Cleared the WR in the end, with 30 bucks left, ofcourse I lost that as wel.

270 balance down to zero betting 0.45 ct. max and managed 2,2x playthrough. Thats just too friggin' unreal.

Ok rant over.

Ceks, where did you find that chainsaw smiley??
I need it!!

I think you just described 99% of my gamesessions at Rival... the game dies and just when you are about to actually finish the playthough you are close to zero and its not with to cash out half the amount you deposited in first place...ok, some here say, well dont use a bonus and you dont need to think about any playthough...sure but then other rules apply...much harder to make balance grow and youll parobably lose at once isntead of getting these free spins in the beginning of the gamesessions...

When I permantenly close my Pantasia account I had a starting balance of about $200..played $2/spin on Cosmic Quest 2...got a qouple of freee spins ...10 or 25 free spins and sometimes retiggers...many of them hit for zero total win and some no more than $10 total bet on a $2/spins...that is actually $4/spin during free spins...quite much....sure then I finally had 30cents left in balance...so my last spin was only 3 lines with 10cent each and BOOM I hit 10 free spins...those 10 free spins gave me $160!! I got I yellow expanding rockets on reel 2,3 and 4 and I think brown or red planets on line 3 on reel 1 and 5....LOL...just lucky??? Sure I wa shappy at the moment but annoyed when the game are so very rigged...that just dont happen if games acually was random...or so I reaised again to $2/spin...and went strait doen to zero getting 2 free spin features with 10 free spins each and which gave ZERO totaly win! Just not possible!

About 300 $2 spins and 5-6 free spins features paying a total of about $50 maybe....then I make ONE signle spins, last spin on 30cents in middle of all these $2 spins and I hit $160 or a line worth 10 cents! Pure bullcrap!!! R.I.G.G.E.D!!

Anton, write ": chainsaw" witout the space and the chainsaw massacre will begin! Or click [More] above the smilies...

:chainsaw:chainsaw:chainsaw

Got it Ceks, thank you very much!
A chainsaw massacre is just what I need right now, hehe.

About Cosmic Crap 2, I don't play it anymore.
Somewhere in November I was playing it on (for me) high stakes, 0.60 per spin, lol, and I got 5 scatters!
50 free spins, paid a staggering total of...6 bucks!!!
Ever since I tend to avoid it like the plague!

Thats also something I found to be weird, the more free spins you get, the less they seem to pay.
2 weeks ago I hit 4 scatters on Cleo's Coins at Tropica, betting 0.75 (!) per spin.
Retriggered on the third spin with 5 scatters for another 100
Ended up with 170 free spins.
Total win 170 bucks, 220x my bet.
By far most of that came from the original first 20 free spins, a full line of Ceasars and a bonusround.
The other 150 free spins paid almost nothing, so dissapointing, not a single bonusround, only an occasional 3 of a kind.. and scatters don't pay in that game, so all the retriggers were pretty much useless.

Here we go again :

Labell..You could very well be on to something. The last couple of days have totally sucked at the Rivals so you could very well been right about the 60 file download. Probably tightened them all. I might just have enough gull to contact live chat..or techinical dept. and ask why they needed to update 60 files?

 

[eishagirl]

man, i deposited today bonus free at vegas regal, still my beloved Rival, and started playing scary rich2, to my amzement, i hit the bonus round after about 5-10 spins betting $.60/spin and hit for like $120 on the bonus round. i was thinking finally gonna make a decent cashout as everytime i play bonus free, my deposit is literally gone in minutes, and now i have a real chance to cashout a couple hundred. Then it started fromt here, steadly went down down down down. I spent about $40 playing a $1 a spin on scary rich2, changed it up and started playing switch in time, and hit the bonus round freespins 3 times with a total of 2x30 freespins after retriggering it twice both times and 35 freespins hitting the 3 scatters for 10 and 4 scatters for 25 more, and i barely won $10 off all 3 freespin rounds each time.

I played 2 other games that wasn't very friendly either and then before i knew it, was down to under $10 and hit a decent spin getting back to $40. logged out for a bit then came back and it went within about 15 minutes.


I know exactly what you guys mean with the bonuses and playthroughs, it always seems i still either lose it all quickyl or i hit pretty good getting up to a couple hundred then by the time i make playthrough, i have $20.


This was one of the 1st times i've played bonus free and actually got somewhere as usually almost even time, my deposits are gone in 5-10 minutes.

 

[Gijan74]

But don´t you guys forget.When playing those freebee´s you get loyaltypoints and when you redeem them there is no playthrou or minimum cashout..When get those free money I actually play for my loyaltypoints to grow...

I know it is frustrating not hitting anything but alternative is that we don´t get any free bonuses at all..I know what I like..

 

[eishagirl]

i will also add to my comments though, as bad os some of the bonus droughts can be, don't forget about when it seems you can't miss a bonus round other times.

I know far and few between, but just like that scary rich2 run i had a couple weeks ago, before i got that run, it was spins and spins and spins of nothing, then that one day, i bet i hit the bonus round on that slot 15 times during my run.

same with some other slots, they'll be dry for a long time, then all of a sudden they go on a good run of bonus rounds, so if you have been dry for a long time on certain slots, its a matter of time and it will spit those bonus rounds out like octomom and 8 babies lol

 

[tessa35]

Thanks labell it's nice to know I'm not alone and thanks for the nice things you said. Yes at Christmas I thought I was a VIP at Ruby Royal what with getting the bottles of wine, so I was shocked the other day when I went to get in and all my promotions were gone. It is kind of demoralizing to say the least. I could feel my blood boiling as I was talking to Live Chat and she said I could still play but without the promotions because she said I had mulitiple accounts.....not at their casino but at others. I don't understand their logic. They would rather lose a good customer.....how insane is that. I have put thousands into the Rivals especially Ruby Royal. I also love the games but not the treatment so they are gone as far as I'm concerned their gone. I had also been playing the Rival casino Tradition and the same day I was cut off from the bonuses at Ruby Royal they cut off the promotions too. I had only deposited about $500 and had been getting bonuses and some free chips from them but I guess they must be on the same witch hunt that Ruby is on. Anyway thanks again and good luck to everyone.

Still no winners what I can see.....how many months and how many $100,000 do we have to put in to be allowed to have ONE $10,000 winner here?
(Random Jackpots dont count)

The online casinos are really playing us...when we see someone winning $800 here we all go crazy thinking wow how lucky that player is...well ,were does the rest go, probably $99,000 in deposits/$1000 withdrawal go when the casino have(should have 94-98% payout).

I dont think Ive see a real lucky winner here ever(winning $20,000 or more)...and how many millions havent we deposited??

Don't forget randoms cover a huge part of the RTP percentage, thats why RTG slots often pay so crappy.
Why Rival slots pay/play so crappy I dunno, after my recent winnings at Micro I gave Rival another try, 4 deposits with bonus at Sloto, Vegas Regal and Box24 (the only ones that still offer me promo's) but as usual could not get anywhere, only at Sloto I managed to get over my starting balance for a while, 2 vampires on Scary for 150x bet, and that was all..
Could not get anywhere near the playthrough.
The times that I got all exited when I hit the wherewolf freespins on Scary2 are long gone.

I really think I'm gonna quit playing Rival, I mean, a €20 bonufree deposit at Micro usually gives me loads more fun and playtime than a deposit with a huge bonus at Rival does, and if I hit a biggie like the 5 scatters in free spins 2 days ago I can just cash it out.
1500x my bet, I never EVER have hit a 1500x at Rival or RTG.
And I think that, in numbers of spins, I've played more Rival than any other software.

 

[ceks79]

Let me guess Anton...you hit 1500X you bet on pennies? ($0,01 or $0,02)

None is winning and "cash" anymore, just coins! Casinos payout % is counted in coins, not in cash, if it were counted in cash the payout % is probably 5-10% and not 95%. This is a trick few people know about...

 

[Anton DB]

Yes, you don't even need to guess, I always bet pennies, lol.
Depending on the number of lines I play 1-5 coins per line.
And for Micro, I've definately noticed that their slots pay better at low stakes.
Centre Court for example, I swear I'm AHEAD on that game.
I play it all the time, ever since its release, and the number of freespinrounds I trigger is so far out of line its insane.

But Rival, I see more good screenshots at high stakes than I see or get at low stakes.
I love Rival slots, but they just don't love me, lol.

I will have to try that!!!

 

[CareyG]

I will have to try that!!!

I tried it right after I read his post and didnt get the bonus round once during my entire $100! LMAO​

 

[Anton DB]

Carey, I said...LOW stakes..
I'm so sorry you lost....
As my deposits are usually small, €20-€30, and I have a '100 bets minimum' rule for myself, my bets are usually 0.18, 0.27, 0.36 per spin.

Another rule of thumb for this game: Never play it with a jackpotthermometer below 130 or it wil eat you alive 95% of the time.

Now please don't tell me you lost 100 betting 3-4 pennies per line?
That would mean thousands of spins without the freespins, seems near to impossible to me..

 

[CareyG]

I think I was betting at least $1 a spin, I dont remember exactly. I have bad luck no matter what I play though. The only one I have ever gotten REALLY lucky on was Cashapillar! Do you play that one Anton?​

 

[labell]

I have a '100 bets minimum' rule

Anton you mean you never play unless you can spin 100 times... to give it a fair chance...and so your bankroll would determine how many pennies per line you'd be betting?

 

[Anton DB]

Anton you mean you never play unless you can spin 100 times... to give it a fair chance...and so your bankroll would determine how many pennies per line you'd be betting?

Yes, thats exactly what I mean, 100 bets 'worst case scenario' works best for me.
Free spins trigger on avarage once every 150 spins, so you should be able to trigger them at least once playing like that.
Not that it always happens, lol.

Note that this does absolutely NOT work on Rival software!
For Rival there's another tactic:
Bet as high as you dare and pray to the Gods of Gambling for a good paying freespinround before you bust out.

My Rival stats for this month:
Deposits: 7
Freebies: 8
Withdrawls: 0
Got over my starting balance: Once.
Playtime: Hardly any.
Frustrationfactor: Very high.

CaryG, no, I hardly ever play Cashapillar, sometimes when I'm up a nice amount, but could not get lucky on it so far, no wonder given the game is VERY high variance.
You need the stacked wilds to win, lots of them!
And €1.- a spin is just too much for my bankroll most of the time.
