Anyone actually win at Rivals anymore?

[Anton DB]

i hit the 3 vampires during bonus round on scary rich1 for the 1st time the other day and the last 2 was total crap lol i think i only won 100x the bet, it wasn't long ago though i was hitting good on scary rich 2, with around 200-300x and was hitting all 3 coffins on the 1st three reels. I been playing alot this weekend, and think i never hit 3 coffins in any bonus round all weekend. Last month, i was hitting 3 coffins 2-3 times in the same bonus round!


needless to say, again, i really have to get "Momma Hogg" under control, i did manage to get up to $900, but eventually over 3 days, played it all away AGAIN! lolAt some point, i will get past the Momma Hogg thing.

Out of all of that though, it was really small wins nothing over much of $100, except for one hit in the past on Switch In Time, i hit for $300+ on one spin.


Here are a couple hits i had this weekend, mind as well show them off, lol:

Nice screenies!!

But really. you hit all 3 coffins multiple times in the same bonusround??
Wow, never seen that, ever!
Last summer I was hitting left and right and up and down on Scary 2, got the 3 coffins once with the spaghettihair-jackpot dudes on the last reels, also got them with the evil babies once..
Oh man, those were the days, haha.
For the past 6-7 months Scary2 has been a major balancecruncher..

And Ceks, I've had some nice winning sessions on Mayan Queen last year, but this year so far its been utterly crap!
Wasn't there supposed to be a lady with a staff on the centre reel?
They must have fired her!

Oh, and I just LOST a deposit od €25 playing Centre Court!
Thats just totally unheard of!
I have immediately filed a complaint with the casino management, as I'm supposed to always WIN on Centre Court!!

well, maybe multiple times in same bonus round only happened once of twice, but these screenshots were all taken during the same session, when Scary Rich2 was on fire, seemed almost everytime i got the bonus round dring that session, i hit 3 coffins almost each time or at least every other time. Haven't hit 3 for quite a while now, and i have been hitting on ocassion reel 1 and 3, with crap symbols along with it.

Well, i'm emarrassed to say, but last week, i made a deposit of $25 taking advantage of that 800% bonus i had won from the contest here and lost it very quickly, then i made another $25 deposit of $25 and Scary Rich2 was on fire!!!

i quickly ran up to $1000 and eventually got up to $3100 and my dumb to make a long story short, played it all back. I am still kicking myself in the ass everyday since.

I won the majority of it on Scary Rich2 hitting big freespin rounds and one nice hit for $1000 during the bonus round on Jaques Pot.

I have some nice screenshots but didn't post them caused i was so embarrassed of what i did.

All i needed to do was make the withdrawal and flush it, and didn't do it once. Shocked my damn self that i did this, but its another lesson to be learned, and that was the highest i had ever gotten for a cashout oppertunity.

Well, maybe next time, i'll think twice before playing on. But for the story, last week was up to $3100 and could have cashed out.

 

[eishagirl]

this was on the last post of the last page, wanted to make sure no one overlooked it lol

wouldn't you know, the one time i try and be conservative with my last $10-$15 i decided to start betting $.20 cents instead of $.40 cents and look what i hit.

The 1st time i have ever hit all 5 girls for that spin ratio.

 

[Anton DB]

Impressive...

Sucks you played it all back, but I think we all made that mistake...more than once..
I've played back a balance of €1600 once at Roxy Palace. €50 deposit.
I was so sick of that!
Back then I was still highrolling, oh wel, eh, not-so-low rolling suits better.
Never again.
Try this: If you're up a nice sum and its all cashable, cash out a part of it, half at least, and flush it.
Just think of all the deposits you can make with your win.
It works for me..

fantastic method.... I'll call that the Anton mama hogg antidote.....

Last year Carey "shamed" me into finding the cashout button more often... so I'll use both methods to improve my bankroll!

LOL dont feel shamed Labell, I never find the cashout button myself!!!​

Its not THAT hard to find.
In most casinos it under 'banking' , section 'withdrawl'.
(lame huh)



I find it all the time, problem is, I cannot USE it, as there's nothing to cashout!
(At least not at RTG/Rival)

Labell, I'm hounored that there's now an antidote named after me! (blush)

[ceks79]

Wow...I still waiting for that day I hit 5 green ladies for 78 free spins with a 9X multiplier....but that total win of $132 really sucks when 78 free spins worth $1,80 each were done...I´d be really pissed!

 

[labell]

[Anton DB]

LOL, Labell, may I ask in which hellhole you dug up that one?

154.29x playthrough, hahaha, love it, as if there's some kind of rocketscience mathematic formula used to calculate.

And for a 35%, what a joke!!
I mean, Vegas Regal also has high WR on their bonuses, but at least you get a big PHAT bonus that extends playtime!

 

[eishagirl]

the last bonus i just used at VR was no max cashout 75% and yes Ceks, 1st off wasn't happy i only won $132, but off of a $.20 cent bet, it coulda been worse.

at least it put be back up over $100 and gave me lots of playing time, normally, i'm betting at least $.60 cent to a $1 that woulda maybe got me a cashout on the $1 woulda been about $600 i am estimating.

anyways, i will catch those ladies on a bigger bet next time, and gonna win a hell of a lot more next time, just gotta keep thinking positive, and when it happens, "Momma Hogg" will be locked away in her pin! haha

 

[vixen777]

Hey I have been playing at SLOTO because they are cool with their bonus and don't have max cashouts on them

Of course I did not cashout!

lol Vixen - too tempting to "try for the big one"....

Eisha, lol we're gonna pen that hogg up tight!

Anton, it was Superior... lol what a playthrough!

Hey folks, there are some really good coupons at Tropica... I used one tonight for 25 min dep, 100% match, no max cashout, 30x terms

And I actually did cashout !!! I played conservatively, no more than 60 cents spin until I was within 250 of playthrough... then at dollar spin... I managed to cashout $125, which makes profit of $100 for my evening... and I did hit the three wilds on scary one, but nothing great on 4th and 5th reels...

Who is this Momma Hogg everyone talking about?? Is she/it like Santa Claus or something?

It is our inner GREED!

 

[labell]

It is our inner GREED!

Yes Judy, thanks that's it exactly...

Ceks when we were growing up and would be greedy about something my Mom would say "pigs get fed, hogs get slaughtered"... So awhile ago I started calling that evil greedy person that takes over and spins away all my winnings "Mama Hogg"... as in the BIGGEST of all hogs... and usually when she comes to play I lose big... because I get greedy and get "slaughtered" and lose all my money....

 

[Anton DB]

Wow. I've moved my play to Micro and RTG now, as I'm done with Rival, but I forgot what a nighmare RTG can be, holy cow!
$120 +$180 in bonusmoney gone in less than 1.5 hour, only playing 0.50 per spin..its just unreal.

Spread over 5 deposits, only once I got 9 bucks over my starting balance.
Ofcourse the game immediately realised that this was a terrible mistake and took the $9 back with 20 dead spins, as usual after hitting a feauture.
Highest win was 4 red gems on Mayan Queen, 50x total bet.
They were on 1,2,4 and 5, the lady with the staff should have been there on reel 3, would have been a monstah, but she was, as usual, nowhere to be found.

I just cant believe these games have roughly the same payoutpecentages as Microgaming games.
Wel, lesson learned again, time to clean out some harddrivespace.
No more RTG for me.

Wish you all the best of luck!!

 

[labell]

Unless you hit a random, which I have never ever done, but do hope to lol, I've found the rtgs to be very streaky... I watch the win screens from others and try those games, but find it's still really blind luck. I did get lucky twice yesterday with and made playthrough at both Casino TItan and Club World... deposited $80 and withdrew 400 total... but that is not all that common for me... love your analysis Anton, makes me think rather than blindly deposit...

Streaky as hell, indeed.
Gave it one last try, stupid me..
Santa strikes Back. Whoever invented that game should be waterboarded to death!!
Scatterbattles!! Who came up with THAT?!?
I'm a very peaceful person, really, last time I got into a fight was 28 years ago (I won btw), but this game wakes up the dark side of me.
Santa never wins 3 times! Never!
And he has a SWORD! That friggin' reindeer only has a piece of WOOD!
As if hitting 3 scatters isn't hard enough already!

I'm with Santa btw, I mean, I would get pissed too if that bloody reindeer would fart in my face all the time when riding the !

I vote for this one as Most Frustrating Slotgame Ever.

Rant over.
