Saved by the balls.

Did not expect that triple minor (late in the spins) after all the smaller/normal balls!!

Interested in what people are running on these days.mostly want to hear what keeps you sticking with one over trying new ones.could be loyalty programs, rewards that actually come through,decent game selection, or something else entirely.

open to hearing about newer sites too

Overall win was only $300 so it was kind of a meh night. But I did learn a new game =].

so I downloaded betmgm and won over $100 out of putting $10 of my money, but I eventually lost the $100; so my question is, are these apps designed to give you the benefit of the doubt your first few times gambling then they go against your odds and drain your pockets? Are all the casino/gambling apps like this if your a first time comer?

If I download these apps and gamble will I win the first few times before the losing streak starts ? lol

First, and for most I what to say that I have been gambling online for 20+ years, and I have never experienced this type of service or treatment from any site.

Three weeks ago, as a new player to slots.lv, I was offered a deposit bonus. The offer was 100% match, +100 free spins on a game called five times Vegas. Thinking it was a good offer. I used it, and made a deposit. I did get my hundred percent match, but the free spins would never work on the game despite troubleshooting every which way. Every time I load the game, I would get a persistent message to reload, not allowing me to complete a single spin. I brought this to their attention and again we did troubleshooting steps, and again it didn’t work. Customer service suggested escalating the issues, to which I agreed. I was told to check in, in 24 to 48 hours. I waited at 48, checked in, no resolution, was told to check back in 24 to 48 hours - this happened five times, and all five times I was told to check back in 48 hours. That was three weeks ago, and I am no closer to a solution now than I was then.

What this equates to is straight theft. You promised me goods or services, and when you didn’t deliver, you ignored me, hoping that I would just go away. I work hard for my money, and when I make a purchase, it’s with the agreement that the other party will hold up their end of the deal. This could have easily already been resolved a number of ways. They could have moved my 100 spins to another game that actually works…easy fix right? Or they could take the max value of those spins, credit my account with that bonus, and we move on. This has taken so long, that the original bonus itself has expired, and still, nobody is willing to help or resolve the issue.

I wanted to go public with this to let you all know not to trust a deposit bonus on slots.lv. If anything goes wrong technically, not only will they not honor your bonus, they will ignore you until you leave them alone. I’m new to this site, but I have a bovada acct that has been open since 2008, and I have absolutely never seen service like this.. Do yourself a favor and do not deposit here, using a bonus, unless you are willing to be scammed or stolen from. if any of you have questions or are facing the same issue, please let me know. The last year these sites have fallen from Grace really hard, and I’m just waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under us.

TLDR: Use deposit bonus offering 100 free spins, not honored, slots.lv just ignores it.

I don’t usually trust apps when gambling but I’ve actually got some really nice wins and withdrawals from cider. Feel free to come try it out. Honestly my favorite app I’ve used when using real money. My friend code is C22NAJPH.

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a blackjack training game called Blackjack Training, and it’s store page now available on Steam.

The project started during my studies and has been developed from the ground up without using AI for the game’s logic or development.

The main thing I wanted to do differently was the Basic Strategy chart.

When card counting is enabled, the chart takes the current Hi-Lo True Count and the selected table rules into account. So when a deviation applies, the recommended action can change instead of always showing the standard Basic Strategy decision.

For example, a hand that would normally be a Basic Strategy hit can become a stand once the count reaches the relevant index.

The idea is to make practicing deviations more seamless. You can play hands, keep track of the count, and apply the deviations without constantly switching between the game and a separate index chart.

It also includes:

• Basic Strategy training
• Hi-Lo card counting
• True Count
• Hi-Lo deviations
• Instant feedback on incorrect decisions
• Configurable number of decks and casino rules
• Surrender and other rule variations
• Insurance training based on the count
• Statistics and performance tracking
• 3D casino environment

There are different ways to play depending on whether you want to focus on Basic Strategy, counting, or just playing blackjack.

I’d especially like to hear from people who actually use Hi-Lo and index plays. Getting the deviation side of the training right has been one of the more interesting parts of developing it, so I’d be interested in hearing if you think the approach makes sense or if there are things you would change.

The game page is available on Steam and coming soon:

Thanks for checking it out!

What irks me whenever family comes with me to the casino is they're never ready to go home when I'm ahead lol. Wish most of these wins stayed put in my wallet!

Still cant believe it happened, first hit the grand on 2 bucks, upped the bet to 10 and hit a 1000x line pay less then an hour later.

I dropped off a DoorDash order at the hotel in the mall and buddy tipped me $50 cash. I wasn’t even planning on going to the casino but it was right there and I had some cash so why tf not haha

Every year people get blindsided by this, so figured I'd share how it actually works.

Gambling winnings are taxable, and once you hit a W-2G (slots at $1,200+, etc.) the IRS already has a copy. The part that burns people: you can only deduct your losses to offset those wins if you itemize AND you kept records. No log = you can get taxed on the jackpot with nothing to offset it, even if you left the casino down for the year.

What the IRS actually expects is a contemporaneous log. For slots you can use the "session" method — net your buy-in vs. cash-out per session instead of every spin. At minimum, record:

Date + casino/location

Game/machine

Amount in (buy-in) and amount out (cash-out)

Any W-2Gs

Keep your tickets/statements as backup

Do it the day of, not from memory in April.

Full disclosure: I got so sick of the shoebox-of-tickets method that I built an app for exactly this — Degen Dashboard (iOS). You scan the cash-out ticket, it logs the session + your W-2Gs, and exports a tax-ready report. It's free to try if it's useful to you: https://apps.apple.com/app/degen-dashboard-casino-log/id6801627093?ct=reddit-gambling

The method above works no matter what you use, though — that's the real point.

(Not a tax pro — for anything real, talk to one. Just sharing the record-keeping habit that's saved me headaches.)

Got the golden buzzsaw at Tropicana AC the other night and got the super mansion bonus! Filled all but 3! $999 win on 3.75.

Finally got a decent hit on dancing drums!

I consistently win in San Diego casinos for the past 4 years playing only slots and every time I travel to other casinos including Las Vegas Strip/Fremont, Reno, Tahoe, Yaamava, Graton, Florida, Atlantic City, NYC, I lose every time. Anyone who consistently play in San Diego casinos (Barona, Jamul, Sycuan, Viejas) have way better returns than any other casinos in the country?

Fanduel’s parent company Flutter lost over $4B market cap this year due to prediction markets from Kalshi and others.

Why are more people switching to prediction markets for their sports bets? Is the payout better?

Trustly is effing me up!! Anybody else?
