well, yes vegas regal changed their terms for freechips but hey its free and i had so many cashouts from freechips at vegas regal,
that i have to say ,they are one of the best rivals out there. but recently... the terms for the bonuses are going crazy
( for example the maximum cashouts)..so i hope that they will come back with some better terms for us...
@sparks: youre right this is 1 big step backwards for them... :sad:
Completely... A new manager obviously got the freechip terms changed but not for the better
I did have a fair few cashouts from vegas regal but I lost more than I cashed out (probably about $5000+ lost than I cashed out from there) although regarding free chips its benefiting them more than us.
If I was given a free chip and still was a casino depositor I would expect a nice long playtime and a possible free win.... If the playtime was short with the freechip the chances are I would get rid of the casino and play elsewhere... (this would be a disapointment for the casino because their intention on giving free chips is to try to get someone in "gambling mode" so they deposit)
less people are turning to rival casinos nowadays (maybe it explains why the free chips are a waste of time) and 1 of the factors is of course the software
Iv spoken to loads of people over the years and many have expressed their annoyance at rival games.. this often comes down to the slot bonuses...
say you get bonus free spins/feature bonus round with a 40c bet... you may win $20-$30 if your lucky... wheras if your betting $1+ and get that same bonus round theres a massive chance it will pay nothing at all or less than what you would win betting 40c a spin.... If it was an RTG or MG casino and you had bet $1+ a spin then certainly you would be looking at something fairer than a couple of bucks...... I recall 1 evening betting $5 a spin... Hit the free spins... all I got was something like $2.60... At any other casino software provider I could guarantee at least a $50 return everytime.
Now going back on topic specifically to vegas regals ND bonuses... They are shooting themselves in the foot more than anything...
Potentially gambling is about the thrill of winning money... the rush... the feeling... and as I mention above free chips are given to players to try and put them in the mood to gamble so they deposit
Refering to this free chip, (as an example because quite a few rival free chips have the same sorta wr nowadays) Its $50 and WR is basically $4000.... People know full well that to meet wr they are either going to have 1 or 2 massive wins with a high bet or about 9 or 10 big wins with a medium sized bet... the problem is if you bet high ($2+) your balance is gonna be over very soon and its unlikely you will hit something massive... if you bet small/medium then the reality is you would need a near miracle to meet WR and spend more than 10 hours playing (hardly worth it to cashout $50)
Its almost like playing freeplay mode because the player basically accepts they wont meet WR, thus theres no real gambling rush and it doesnt have the desired effect and make people want to deposit.
What I would prefer to see is free chips of $10 only with x10 wr and a max withdrawl of $25... This would be more than fare and appreciated... less players will meet wr than thoese who dont but it gives everyone the thrills of gambling and a chance to make a quick $25.
As expected... the $50 and $10 free chips went the same way as the last $1000 or so worth or rival free chips iv claimed... into my account then 15 mins later empty (im glad I no longer deposit at casinos)
Its time I uninstalled all rival casinos on my computer because its become a waste of time and effort
