How many times has this happened to you?

Okay, so I make a $30 deposit today at Slot Madness and get a 200% bonus.  I start with 90 bucks and my money last maybe 20 minutes.  I did not get ANY bonus rounds and my highest win was $3.00.  I'm not trying to be a whiner but it is just frustrating not being able to actual play.  I think I will be rethinking my rtg casino playing and go back to microgaming casinos.

I was just wondering if anyone else has played here today and if you did any good?  Or was your luck as bad as mine. 

I wasn't at a RTG but at Microgamming and I made a $60 deposit and got a $60 bonus so with $120 I maybe lasted 30 minutes.  Got one or two bonus rounds but no more than $10 won at a time.....booo.  It is so frustrating since microgamming used to be so good to me!! I think in January alone I cashed out over $2000 all together but now, nothing!

At first I thought RTG was the best.  But then I ran out of luck, good bonuses, the playthroughs went from 20x to 40x and I got bored.  I like microgaming but bonuses aren't great there either.  I'm the player that will deposit a smaller amount but want to play for a while so I like bonuses.  Now I'm to the point of pretty much only using small cashouts in quicktender to deposit to other casinos since there is a $30 min charge to withdraw from them.  I guess regardless of software I'm just kind of blah right now when it comes to playing anything but freebies with hopes they turn into something.

By the way I've found that Mister Money at Slot Madness always does pretty good.

Thanks for the info Allgood.  I was doing pretty good at Slot Madness until I started depositing more frequently.  I could have cashed out almost 2k and almost 1k once.  I have never made a withdrawal but the last few times my money does not last like it did when I first started playing.  The only place I do withdrawals is at Villento which is microgaming.  Nothing huge.....2-400 and I use that to deposit at other places.  It is just sucks when you make a deposit (not expecting to cash out) and get no play time.  I mean 3 bucks....give me a break.  I asked support if their machines were just tight today or was it because of the upgrade.  I mean I was furious when I was playing cause I knew my biggest win was $3.  I was told no the machines are not tight it is just random.  I guess random was on my side when I first started playing there lol.  Oh well, I just had to vent today.  Like I said, I made a deposit and had a great bonus and thought I will sit here and play slots today and it didn't go as planned. 

Good luck to you and Dally!

I have experienced the same this entire week everywhere I played.  I can't play microgaming, but I played Vegas Tech, Rival, and RTG.  Same thing.  My deposit did last longer at Rival though. 

I just spent $30 at Supreme Casino and got a 500% bonus.  I was able to play almost 2 hours which was much better than the 20 minutes at Slot Madness this morning.  I hope your luck gets better too toodleedoo.

Folks, forget about bonuses!

Please don´t get me wrong. I love no deposit bonuses. But deposit bonuses do not pay off.

Of course, playing with 500 instead of 100 sounds sexy, but you are bound to play through the restrictions which can be ridiculous (eg. p/t of 60 times bonus + deposit). Guess who will win in the end:-)

If you think numbers are sexy, play it like this: Take your 100, play defensive (about 0,50 per spin), take it up to 200 (or 300 if you are greedy) and withdraw. This is withdraw with a capital W! Bang - you are a winner.

Can be accomplished in 1 evening, no fuzz about rogue casinos ("get 999% bonus today!!!"), money next day in your wallet and you made a real 200 or 300 %, that is to your real money!

Sound advice Rokko.

But if you like "play time", then $20 or $30 doesn't go too far.  However, that said, I never use a bonus NOW.  I only ever deposit $20 or $25 and always without a bonus. 

I learned a hard lesson on an RTG with my $20 deposit limited to $200 withdrawal and I won two RJ's totalling $5200.

If someone just wants playtime, then a rogue RTG deposit of $20 on there with a nice 895% bonus will do the trick.

this is all very good advice. I canot count the number of times I have deposited with the bonus and had hardly any play time and I play RTG most of the time as I do enjoy their games. I also place 1.4-2.00 bets at one time so I am going to try starting off lower and see what happens. Good Luck to all.

I used to switch casinos or software type when I was on losing streak.  If I was you, I will stop depositing with slotmadness for awhile, do deposits at other rtg casinos.  If you still are on losing streak, then stop playing rtg and play with MG or rivals, vt.

Ahhhh...that is why they call it "gambling."

That's why I always play at Microgamming I have never ever run into a max cashout!!!!!  I am not sure if they still do it but I have cashed out without making the complete playthrough, you just lose the any amount that is in you 'bonus account" . 

Call me greedy!

I never understood this "playtime thing". If I only wanted it colourfull, flashing and seducing, I would watch home shopping television or would take drugs.

Alternatively you could use the free games versions you find on this site. And you don´t even have to mess with customer service, withdrawals etc. Pure, clean entertainment even with the most rogue casinos you could imagine. You don´t even have to register!

"Play time" is just a lame self excuse for depositing after a loss ("At least it was fun...").

Real fun looks like this: deposit, hit jackpot, withdraw, collect.

If you stick to common sense than you do accept that it is more probable to loose than to win. And here comes the real fun: beat probability, break the bank, take it from rich (casino) and give it to the poor (you).
