Hey guys, From November I'll be doing two online videos per week. Tuesday and Wednesday will remain FOBT, arcade, bingo and/or casino and Thursday and Friday will be online. People seem to enjoy the online more, but I'll still do the bookies and arcades too to see what's new. Thanks everyone for your loyalty and support and if you have any online slot suggestions or challenges let me know.

5 WEEKS AGO MY WIFE AND KIDS WANTED A QUIET WORD WITH ME ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TIME I SPEND AWAY FROM THEM BECAUSE OF MY GAMBLING TO BE HONEST I SPEND TO MUCH TIME EITHER WATCHING LIVE STREAMS OR GOING TO THE BOOKIES TO PLAY ON THE FOBTS AND ALSO PLAY ONLINE WITH DREAM VEGAS MY WIFE WITH TEARS IN HER EYES ASKED ME TO HAVE 3 MONTHS AWAY FROM ALL GAMBLING TO FOCUS ON FAMILY LIFE !!! SO THINKING OF WHAT THEY SAID I DECIDED TO HAVE A MONTH OFF NOW TO BE HONEST THE FIRST 2 WEEKS WAS VERY HARD BUT IT GOT EASIER AS TIME PASSED BY NOW IM LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF TIME I GAMBLE AND I MUST SAY THE WIFE IS A LOT HAPPIER ALL THOUGH IM SICK OF GOING SWIMMING WITH THE KIDS 😂 SO WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT IF ANYONE IS THINKING OF HAVING A BREAK FROM GAMBLING GO FOR IT THE HARDEST PART IS NOT WATCHING DARRENS VIDEOS 😢 FINALLY WHATS THIS IVE HEARD ABOUT STOP AND STEP DOING A LIVE STREAM FINALLY THERE IS A GOD 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Didn’t even activate Garga but who’s complaining when you hit this on low stakes. 😎

I like these! Thanks.

Hey Darren, (stop and step man ), really enjoy the videos and i know you like doing this "get every bonus" type video, something a bit different Could you play "Leaders of the Free spins world " online and try and get every single leaders bonus - There are 5 and need unlocking level by level Thanks

Had a bit of an on-line session with the misses last night (Come on mentholdan get it out of your system lol 😮) playing Swarm on Dream Vegas. We managed to get to the 5th level playing at 20p a spin in about 90 minutes and showing a small profit of about £18 too boot. Anyway tonight it will be ramped up to £2 whilst hoping to get the little honey bees to swarm out of the hive. will it be sweet, sweet honey or is there a sting in the tail - let you know tomorrow. Wish us luck 🤞

SORRY TO BORE EVERYONE AGAIN ON THIS TOPIC JUST WONDERING IF THE TORIES AT 4/7 IS GOOD VALUE NOW THE BREXIT PARTY ARE ONLY RUNNING IN CERTAIN SEATS ?

Really enjoyed that one today Darren, I won't spoil it for the other others.

Wow, 178 free spins! I bet that went on for a while. That's got to be a record!

Current gambling regulation seems to be all over the place at the moment. Bonus buys gone but no limit on any slot stake, with some going up to £500 a spin! Bookies still have to show warnings and time-out pop-ups, yet arcades do not even though they are now both exactly the same games! The £50 mega spins outlawed but bypassed instantly with the Premium Plays, and now in arcades too. The ones that are still here with the license will still stay, I doubt new ones would emerge.

Excellent result you can’t beat novomatics when it comes to getting re-triggers 👍

Hi guys, I've spent a great deal of time recently watching dozens of slot streamers on Twitch. I've watched all these streamers play the same games over and over and learnt a lot. You get to know which games are hard to bonus and those that are more frequent, games that play well in the base game and those that have features in the base game. As an example, Genie Jackpots and Goonies give you an extra chance to bonus in base game features. An important fact is that I see people playing £4 & £5 stake regularly and when they do get a bonus they very seldom pay more than a FOBT jackpot of £500 which can be won at £2 stake. What the on line games can do however is completely go off their tits and pay monster amounts in the bonus and sometimes in the base game. A question seldom asked and one that puzzles me is this, a £2 bet on the horses in the Bookies can in theory pay mega money so now that the FOBT machines have been limited to £2 maximum stake, then why are their jackpots limited to £500? A FOBT jackpot should be able to pay the same as the on line game don't you think. I'm all for capping gambling limits but they shouldn't cap the amount you can win on bookie slots. By doing this people are only being encouraged to gamble on line because the returns potential for the "monster wins" is available but the stake limit is much higher, 100x and 200x the stake of a FOBT is not unusual. I just don't see why you can play for example, Fishing Frenzy for a £2 stake on line and win say £1200-£1500 and play the same game in the Bookies knowing your max win can only be £500???? ANT THOUGHTS??

The £500 limit on FOBTs is a result of government regulations. The bookies and arcades don’t really have a choice. If they were allowed to offer wins larger than £500, I think they would do it. Marketing a higher jackpot would likely get more people through the door to try their luck. The only entity that can change or increase the £500 jackpot limit is the Gambling Commission.

I'm in 🙌 Good luck all 😆

Hate the Hills/Betfred platform, never play there now.

Play that slot you played in Las Vegas... the drinking slot, with the catchy music! shabba

No pic unfortunately. But had the jackpot in coral yesterday on vamp it up with two witnesses. Three hearts lined up in the upper part then the reel expander wild hit and opened it up for the bonus. It just kept linking and linking adding £1 after £1 until it was adding a final £46 quid to the total for the last spin. It had filled all but 4 spaces on the screen. And the last hit never let it add all the £1 add ons because it hit jackpot. It was great to see from a slot that I never thought would show me that potential.

Your probably bored of seeing this nice but I do like it when the king pops up multiple times in a session for the big returns. Full screen pays a grand on £2 spins.

Can you play paws of fury think it’s on sky Vegas🎰 And a shout out please !😊

15k

I would recommend another bash on luck of the Irish, I hit £500 off of one 50p spin last week.

Put the £1000 in, if you want to be £2000 behind. Accept your loss

I’ll second this one, can pay really well soon as you get 5+ portal effects.

Some tome of madness not sure if you have played this before

Give sweet bonanza a go if your casino has it. Can pay massive also legacy of Egypt bit like Montezuma

Can we have some flamebusters soon please thank you

Still no fat rabbit tho.

Deal or no deal megaways m8 not seen u play this yet think its exclusive to sky vegas

is really fun to watch you play. Can wait for your next video. Thank you.

Are you going to be live streaming at all?

My latest effort below, have a look to see how I got on!

No. But I do have a four fold that pays 11k with one already secure and England RWC win the second

I never get tired of seeing people win.

They have that and single zero roulette in my local Gentings casino. It always baffles me why anyone would choose to play it!

Where you standing next to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣. seriously though, yes there are plenty who I just wonder why they bother.

I remember this slot from Vegas about 5 years ago but as it’s new in the arcade I gave it a go £60 in and got the bonus

There could be a sting in the tail. 😁

All four winners today, and because the prices were quite short I added a £1 win "accie" Total returns £813. 😁😁

Agreed, also... Any slot can throw out massive wins but it can take months to see another one, unless you are playing everyday 100's of spins. I had to nanny myself and close/limit accounts to small deposits because they get inside your head that you just need to play a bit more to see a wild line or good bonus. A £20 deposit would extend into a £100+ slot session, which for me on normal wages isn't sensible. Best thing to do is switch games after 30-50 spins, if they are ready to pay they shouldn't take 200 spins and by then you might only break even. I put on my sports/lottery bets and do a few spins on 10 megaways slots with the rest of my weekly deposit limit. Keep it fun and all that boring advice.

Honestly, I’d say it depends. If it’s an addiction then you may have problems with watching the content. Some people may say that you should cut all ties with gambling, others say that you need to do what works for you. If it’s just a habit, then I’d say you’re well on the way to breaking it. About a decade or so ago, I was in a similar position, spent a lot of my spare time in the bookies and arcades, primarily out of boredom, and it became a routine. I decided to break the habit and distracted myself, thankfully the new iPhone had plenty of Apps to play with. Still to this day I play Clash Of Clans. I still gamble on the FOBTs from time to time on 20p stake but have no issue sticking to a £10/£20 budget or putting on my £2 football bet. I’m no counsellor, I’m just giving my story. Hopefully you’re in the latter place, if so then keep at it and you’ll find yourself in a much better place.

Evening all, I came to point in September where I realised I need to make changes to get the most out of life-I’m only 37, a dad of one, have a good job and life however I have never been able to shake the gambling bug. Currently I’m just under 4 weeks without a bet on football/horses and the same for FOBTs which given my extensive habit for 15/16 years, I’m feeling pretty good. I’m over the ‘itch’ to constantly gamble for now but I certainly won’t be complacent and I’ve registered with gamstop, Moses (Casinos) and self-excluded from bookies. My question is am I mad for watching the online content? For me, it’s quite cathartic being able to watch but not having the urge to gamble but I’m wondering if anyone else has experience of themselves/others doing this and maybe it having an adverse effect? thanks in advance!

Been there, done that so I feel your pain. although slightly older than you, I started way younger on slots at caravan park holidays...hitting £30 aged 10 was the first step down this road I guess! Been trying to stop on and off for near on 10 years. Even been made bankrupt in that time with a hefty five-figures. Am coming up for 4 weeks gambling and bet free but it will always be an issue. Made changes such as getting a new bank account to block gambling (hopefully mentioning it’s monzo won’t be an issue on here!), gamstop online, self-exclusion from bookies. I think the difference I feel this time is that I am truly buying into wanting to stop. it’s like anything in life-diets, gym, other habits...unless you truly want to stop, nothing will change what you do. Good luck in making the change! All you can do is take it one day at a time if you try to stop.

It's ideal if you lose in moderation and within your means and have the odd big win along the way. Today I just did a fun bet on the horses from Ireland seeing as the UK racing was abandoned. I had a 50p each way lucky 15, £15 stake. One winner at 20/1 and 2 placed horses. Total returns £80

Hello. Stroud in Gloucestershire closed on Monday 30th September after nearly three years of trading. It have competition from two Ladbrokes and a Betfred. All three are well visited so WH had a problem from the start. Few customers and no best odds. The one on Westgate Street in Gloucester was also closed after I walked passed on Tuesday 8th October. No surprise to see shops go as when I worked for Betfred as a cleaner they only was interested in the machines. Horse and Greyhound picture dispute for months did not bother Ladbrokes/Corals or Betfred. 14 hours days 6 days a week, no one in the shop betting for hours in the evenings, just machine players.

I don't like being told what I can and can't do with my own money, even if it is for my own good. 😁😁😁

Las Vegas

I just use whoever’s card I’ve just cloned.

I picked up £200 in Betfred this morning, 50p stakes only on Horus and Fishing. Got the bonus on both with 4 scatters on FF. Swings and roundabouts?

Maybe Eye Of Horus...? .....I’ll get my coat.
