No quickest way to start waisting your roll away. You will move from the slots to blackjack and other games that eat away at your soul.

Just finished it. Won $200 total $100 from bonus & $100 from slots. Figured with an 80+% payback it would be +ev and I'm pretty sure most slots payback a little more than 80%.

Probably a lot more +ev than to play you in HU hypers like I used to all the time lol.

u lucked out. once you start those w money in your account you either have to clear it and hopefully profit or lose all the moeny in your account. once you start it and you go to opt out later it will deduct the value from your bankroll in your account

I've gotten this bonus before and discarded it before even really looking at it, since I don't play casino games. But this is probably +EV to go through, right? What's the chance of winning at blackjack...like 42% or something? So an $84 return on every $100 spent? For $500 that's $420, but add on the $100 bonus and you're in the black. And I'm guessing most of the other games/slots have better return than BJ? I guess I don't really know enough to speak about this, but it just seems like it is probably worth it. Maybe I shouldn't be wholly dismissive when I see the casino bonuses...(I probably should still be pretty dismissive, though..!)

I am just curious if it states that anywhere in the terms and conditions. I mean there is a difference between a "slots bonus" and "cash" and I have even had the cash prizes disappear on me.

idk but i have started with a some and clicking opt out it warned me the amount would be removed. it happened several times on several different bonuses so its clearly programmed to do so. ive had some expire in which i didnt finish clearing and it removed the amount of the bonus.

sometimes u get one of those bonuses and it adds it to your bankroll amount right away and sometimes it doesnt. there's glitches somewhere. most sites have it in the terms and such you cant withdraw the amount and your winnings from such bonuses unless you clear them.

being its party's lovely site (sarcasm) as soon as i get one of those i go opt out right away in case. so i dont forget and suddenly days later my balance might SUDDENLY CHANGE and they hit me with BS explanation to justify them STEALING MONEY from me yet again. that happened several times and not in relation to such bonuses

Mr Poorme,
In all seriousness & with the utmost respect, did you intend for your forum sn to reflect upon your personality; or does such simply coincidentally fit?

As far as I remember the worst slots in AC are ~80%+ payback with most in the 85-90%. If you get really unlucky I guess you could lose a decent amount more than the $100 you get back but I do think the $100 bonus (need to wager $500, not sure if they are all the same) is +ev.

I don't want to get too far off into an esoteric math debate, but I do think the following is worth pointing out. See I have lost more money than I would like to admit gambling in AC.

There is a difference between the mean and the median. The payout percentages are highly skewed in AC, and all slot machines in the state of NJ (including online). That's because big jackpots bring up the average a lot. So if you don't get a jackpot (and most people don't) you can expect your return to be much lower than the average. The state mandate is some number between 82-85%, so to be safe do not count on getting back more than 50%-60% of what you wager. And that's assuming you are conservative. If you decide to "go for it" don't be surprised to see it all go down the drain.

These are not exact numbers, but I hope you see the value of my point.

yep, just because its an 80% payoff they supposed to pay doesnt mean they will for you. they have a certain amount of time in which they're supposed to meet that %. slots pretty much do nothing more than shave money consistently then throw off a large chunk to somebody that may or may not be worth their investment

ive taken 20 spins in a row online same game and didnt get a single penny

It's a freeroll, of course you should go for it.

If you get a $100 bonus, just put exactly $100 into a slot machine, gamble until you hit 0 or risk the $500 or whatever the playthrough is.

If you lose $100 with a $100 bonus, the bonus will disappear. But you will still get to keep any partypoints you accumulated.

Ignore poorme, hes an idiot.

thats how it seems it should work. im just pointing out glitches ive repeatedly experienced and letting others know. maybe they fixed it but within 2 weeks (and many months before) of the starting of this thread i experienced glitches several times.

maybe they fixed it finally. i like many other users experience glitches that come and go. maybe its just divine intervention telling me not to gamble. lol


ive seen it where ive gotten the slots bonus and it right away added the say 5$ to the balance in my account. and other times ive seen it where it didnt add that bonus amount to the balance in my account but was actually there for me to spin off on slots.

pokerpunfun- the software has issues. sometimes more than other days for whatever reason. if you havent encountered any problems and glitches then hey im glad to hear it. lucky for you you should probably play the lottery with luck like that.
