Fobts gone to the dogs

[Ferg]

Took over a year off the fobts . Unfortunately returned a couple weeks ago . I’m only a 50p/£1 max player but after many sessions in the space of two weeks I’m well over a grand down . Lucky to get any sort of bonus . Best I’ve got is £93 ocean magic in Betfred this morning . Can’t even win a 50/50 gamble . I actually think I win more on the pub machines no joke

You’re right you need to be extremely lucky to win these days. I don’t think they are worth bothering with if you aren’t willing to play £2. I’m having one more big session in the next couple of months and then I think I’ll leave them alone and just stick to accumulators. They are more toxic now than when you could do £100 roulette spins.

I like how more and more they are giving you that one off big win. Take 777 mighty always putting 4 red 7 on in bonus but not one shown in winning section just at top to make you think look just one 7 would have ben jackpot. 

Take HEIDE what ever it called always putting 3 bonus symbols and 4th symbol putting the red bonus wheel symbol and 5th symbol only just missing. Again making you think just one more.

Gambling winning for spins always if you go for 8 or 12 for first gamble the opposite coming in again making you think if i pressed that one.

Thy are making it so you dont want to gamble on slots and now its showing. Other people saying same that its taking weeks just for a decent win. Scum bags these places now and just trying to cash in every little penny before they banned.

Ferg You managed to give up for a year and a relapse doesn't change the fact you had the will power to do that. So you can do it again.

My advice would be avoid Betfred, their slots are mostly awful anyway. I tend to play Betfred because there is one near me but prefer Coral's which is a drive. I do far better in Coral's primarily because they have many more slots that suit my style of play. In Betfred I achieve less winning sessions and when I do win it is less money.

For what it's worth I mainly play £1 stakes nowadays and can't really say £2 stakes results in a better experience. Premium play is a nightmare and to be avoided.

I couldn’t agree more. I only ever play 20p/25p spins on the FOBTs, and not only is the jackpot often still £500 but the RTP is lower. As such, it’s crazily volatile and not unusual to play something like King’s Honour for 100 auto plays and absolutely no win! 

And at least my football bets make the money last longer. Well, most make it to at least until halftime anyway…. 😁

Best thing they can do for fobt is make it like the casinos had with up to £5 spins but remove the premium play and increase the jackpot to £10,000. It was great playing rainbow riches on £5 with huge pots.

So have have *some* people just shouted at someone for blowing vape in my face in wills while on machine. At least i didnt quite get to putting my money in so walked out. I just said smoking that * in here disgusting. Same people will spout covid mandates again when time comes though. Consideration is all i ask for.

I no vape doesnt really have any laws not to vape in shops but again consideration instead of been vaped on and cant see and stinking of the stuff and blowing out and spreading germs along with it. Shops can actually make there own laws up for some reason when it comes to vape there is no law but local law. But as said same person will spout covid mandates when i dont wear a mask next time. 

Again will hill machines caped in crap any way i even said to next person whats all this crap on here yesterday. Wills were first to put a notice on door in mandates saying. If we see you with out a mask we will take action into our own hands. Threatening you more like and now this. Disgusting.

I've actually never won £500 or more online, where as I have with fobt, my best single win is around £250 - £300
