...but I know when I'm licked. I've only been playing a short while, but after $1000+ worth of deposits and nothing to show for it (I couldn't even make a single playthrough while making reasonable bets and plays -- seriously, I can't even maintain a healthy balance playing 3-reel slots $.03 at a time), I think it's best that I quit while I'm behind.

It's not that I'm trying to throw a pity party, but I'm just not lucky, I think. It is disconcerting though, that a casino like Spin Time can rig their odds in the players' favor during their "no deposit bonus", meaning that technically any casino could do it. Of course, I know enough to know that any casino that does this has no business sense whatsoever.

In any case, I know I have the gambling bug in my genes, so I have to do what's most responsible.

May you all make all your wagering requirements and cashout before you give it all back. smile

And for the record, Scary Rich hates me.

Good luck!

I'm so sorry this isn't for you. I wish you luck in whatever else you find to play....I also play at POGO just because it's 25-30.00 a year and you get to play a year for double jackpots. Its fun and something like gambling and cheap. HAVE FUN ....gambling is not for everyone.

I feel your pain entranced. I only had one payout the entire year last year - granted I could have cashout $125 at iNet but I blew that one - ok - so twooooo - wow.

I never have luck. I try different games, different casinos - without success. I deposit what I can afford to lose - have fun while doing so and always hope for a favorable outcome.

It gets hard to read all about those lucky winners out there and somehow beat the odds.

Gambling isn't for the faint-hearted - and this ole girl is about to pack it in myself.

Goodluck.

Yes, I know the feeling also, I was playing at Vegas Regal over the weekend, and forgot I used one of their bonuses, well I could not lose, I kept thinking ok get to 4000.00 I can pay daughter college bill, then I said ok 5000.00 and I can play car payments etc, got it over 5000.00 and was a happy camper. when I went and cashed out, I could only get 650.00 Because of the bonus I used. I would of been better off not even taking their bonuses. ( If your on a roll, which is rarelly for me). But I do have a cash out for 650.00. I choose to get their new option of a check. I believe it says 3-5 weeks well see if sooner or not.


And for the record all of the rest of my money pufffffffffffff gone, as soon as I cashed out its all gone, My mistake tho, should of checked with Live chat, atleast I could of used it for comp pts, dummmmmmmmmy me. And I know better. Oh well live in learn in the heat of the moment gambling.

Hey There

First of all I fell with you Entranced gambling can be a bitch.
Last year for me was all bleeding red numbers in my casino accoundt but in 2007 I score $7k so I have been playing on a high even since then.

Personally I only play Slot Machines when I gamblen. I love to play ND Bonuses and all the bonuses were I play relativly "cheep"....

And Gonecamping OMG I know how you feel, I did all most the same at Vegas Regal Casino. I deposit $100 on a 300% bonus and lost everyrhing. Then I had a 20 ND bonus, so I thougt why not then I started playing Scarry Rich 2 betteing $1 per spin. 10 min after and i was at +400$

I made the playthoug and cashout $100. So in the end that day i broke even AND had some great fun.

But anyway back to the topic.
I hope you find what ever you want in life Entranced and I hope that if you one day deside to start gambling again, that you must hit the jackpot.

Kind Regards

Everyone here is just so nice; I can't stay away (from this board at least). To put things in more perspective, I am a fairly regular terrestrial casino gambler, though not lately, because I'm completing my masters degree full-time. I created a little financial buffer by TAing, so I haven't been gambling away too much loan money. Nonetheless, I recognized the danger of gambling with that which I really didn't have, which is why I quit.

And I'm a total tech guy, so I'm rather surprised that I'm so wary of the odds at these online casinos. I guess sometimes it's easier to blame the system -- I'm sure we've all felt that moment where you're really hot and then it feels like a switch was flipped and you can't hit anything at all (sometimes lasts for days at a time!) but you have to keep at it to make playthrough.

I RECOMMEND YOU STAY AWAY FROM RIVAL SOFTWARE.. YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER CASH OUT AT ONE OF THESE CASINOS. I NEVER HAVE ANYWAYS, THE ROLLOVER IS JUST WAY TO HIGH.

Here I really disagree with you, It's not the Rival software that the problem it's greedy casino owners...

Sad but true.
Some of the playthougs are totally insane nowadays.
