I received an email last week offering a deposit match should I wish to return to Mr Vegas. I hadn’t played there for quite some time, largely due to my terrible run there last time I tried this. Still, the offer appeared generous and I couldn’t think of any good reason not to take it. The wagering requirements are high, but at the end of the day, it is money earned on playthrough that I intend to be doing anyway.

It makes no sense that I should just be unlucky at this site, and I do not believe there is anything sinister going on, so I set about play. One thing I should point out though, I do avoid the Pragmatic games at this site, as they are largely set to 94% RTP and I can find them higher elsewhere. Given they are some of the easier games to land, it therefore does perhaps make sense that when playing here I might therefore struggle for bonuses. My theory was that over a long period of time this would hopefully smooth itself out, and ideally with a substantial win or two!

However, it was not to be on this video. I carried on where I left off, losing, and losing badly. In the end, I had 9 to play here, but from an expensive outlay of well over £600. Spoilers follow – I did not fare well with most of the bonuses, and I did not enjoy the session. The end result was a big loss, and a video that I do not really want to put out as per normal on the channel, as I suspect people will probably not enjoy it. However, in the interests of transparency and the full picture, it is available here in all its glory.

It marked a bad day at the office for sure, but I did decide to continue afterwards. As low as this video was, the next one was as high, and you will see why right at the very start of it. The swings of fortune whilst playing these games is quite remarkable at times. I have said this before and I will no doubt say it again – enjoy the wins when they come along, you are only ever paying for entertainment when playing at the casino, and on occasions such as the above, expensive entertainment at that.

On more positive note, don’t forget to enter the World Cup prize draw!
