This is why I stopped online gambling

I registered up to Skyvegas a couple of years back, played on and off at my £25/month limit. Normally played an assortment of machines. After a few months break, I logged onto my Sky account today and chanced my £25 monthly limit on Reel King. It went like this:

First 24 spins = lose
The 25th spin = 3 cherries 50p

Yes, it really was like that. 24 losing spins, then the 25th spin was 50p, so it wasn't even enough for 1 credit. Anyone want to concur or disagree? Sure it's my own money and I'm responsible for my gambles, but it irks me that online behaves like that. My few experiences on a physical B3 was better than that!

P.S. Don't want to complain too much though, as did well on AWPs the previous week.

I've never bothered with this form of 'entertainment' in my life, does'nt look like i'm missing much.

Land based Reel King is also shit.


Only tip I can give you: Don't play Reel King. I haven't touched one for months. I'd rather give money to a drug addict and say 'pay me back double tomorrow'...more chance of making a profit!
Too true reel king is a REEL bag of shite!

Thanks guys :-)

The main thing is that it's rare that I play online for real (or reel lol).

I hardly ever play on-line, maybe Rainbow riches 1p a line (20p a game).

Played War of the Worlds when it first came out. Some cool music & effects.
Got £70 on my feature board zapping them tripods. (£1 a spin).

i've had a dabble on war of the worlds twice now and and there won't be a third loss. :|

however,i had 2 consecutive lots of freespins pay around 600 dollars combined on the new horseracing themed one on partygaming last week, on minimum stake aswell. very spawny i thought.

I ploughed a 2'er back though to get the horserace feature much to my bemusement when it subsequently awarded 10 bucks.

Sky Vegas is the pits.Just like when you get 3 leps on RR and it goes collect on x10 first spin.What the hell is the point?

Anyway I closed my account after that feature never to be used again!
Reel king was notoriuos for awful play from what I saw.
Complete tosh.
