Unfortunately for players in certain localities we have a small selection of gaming platforms. I play while I do my consulting work so it is money I can afford to throw away. I have had success when sites have a variety of platforms. For example I have won big several times on Slots.lv, and Bovada because with Rival it is like the platform manages to the player's session RTP so you cannot stay on that platform for long I have found. I have had big hits at other sites $51k, $27k on Golden Gorilla and I always found the key was to play a couple of Rival games to build balance and then bet higher amounts on RTG or BetSoft in order to clear bonus. Unfortunately with Superior the BetSoft games have been about as dead as I have ever seen. Played Good Girl Bad Girl which typically lets you play and hits features frequently...6 features none totaling over 600 credits. I will try some other casinos, but again the locale makes it difficult to find a good one. These guys have been very nice and responsive and they are generous with bonuses so I decided to give them a few more chances than I would normally. They do not seem interested in adjusting the caps so I think eventually they are just going to run out of players unless they make adjustments to be in line with the rest of the Rival casinos or add some other platforms so the Rival caps are not such a detriment to encouraging return play. If you have not tried Slots.lv I would recommend playing a couple of Rival games...if you get lucky play Cash Money or Big Money Bigfoot. These are exclusive RTG games on their site and they have very nice payouts. They have solid bonuses, quick payouts with bitcoin withdrawals of $9,500 per every three days. On top of that they have a generous cash back program to give you some additional play when you haven't had a withdrawal. You can hit big on some of the Rival games. You just have to be very selective as there are only a handful I have seen payout well. I was looking for an additional set of casinos because I have noticed with Slots.lv and Bovada the play can be extremely streaky. Tracking my RTP I found that I was posting positive at the end of the month, but not doing well at the beginning and middle of the month so I figured well let's find a place where I can play during those time periods to minimize losses. I do not mind RTG casinos that much if they have more than one platform. I was a regular at ClubWorld but after losing three deposits in a row I hit a jackpot on their site. Then they eliminated bonuses from my account. So I played without a bonus and hit big again....so then they disabled my account...after claiming it was a mistake they enabled the account but reduced my deposits to $200 and took away my comp points. Several players have complained I guess that they punish winners. Most sites want players to win sometimes ....but not ClubWorld.

So I have made a few thousand in deposits at Superior Casino. They have Rival and BetSoft and accept US players so I thought why not give them a try. Absolutely the worst casino I have played at online. Customer Service is friendly and they will give you free play on a recurring basis, but when you have more than 50% of your deposits result in under 50% RTP, there is something wrong with the casino. 30 Deposits with less than 5 minutes of play because the RTP ranged from 20-50% on their slots. Even try their "Featured Games" which apparently are the list of games running 20% RTP. To top it off...you get treated like absolute ***** as a player until you deposit enough dollars to be in their VIP program. Then you can bet more than $2.50 or $5 per spin. Even still for top players they cap the games so low...it is nearly impossible to win big. In fact you review their recent winners then go to any other Rival site and review the list and you will find their winnings are 10x lower than nearly any site you can find. 2 out of 10 BetSoft games ran under 5% RTP. 5%. These guys win at 98% and they cannot figure out how to provide decent RTP so players can obtain some entertainment value on their deposits. I gave up thinking I could win there and was just trying to get some play time on deposits. I average over $250 per deposit...you would think with bonuses you could get more than 5 minutes of play. Absolutely not. They admittedly run lower RTP site wide than any other casino I have seen averaging 95% and below. Stay away. Same games elsewhere with no oddball caps and definitely not 30 deposits with only 5 minutes per deposit. I recommend Cafe Casino, Slots.LV, Bovada.LV, and Vegas Crest over Superior by a mile. Positive the way they cap the games is what is generating the low payouts. Payouts on $20 wagers are ROUTINELY less than you see on $5 wagers anywhere else. Features rarely hit. I played Wishing Cup 10 separate sessions so far and never have hit the feature. I understand when a slot is cold but 10 different sessions on what is supposed to be RANDOM play? The only thing Random is occasionally and I mean RARELY you may post positive on a game when betting over $5, but you are guaranteed you will not see 20% RTP for the next two games you play. Absolutely the worst odds on the planet. BetSoft is known for 98% play and 20 sessions I have only seen 4 sessions where RTP exceed 90% on their site. Something is up...I don't know what...they play with the platforms capping different games at different amounts. They know that how they have capped the games it means you cannot win anything decent on a coin based bonus which is half the Rival games. You bet $20 per spin but you are at $0.05 per line and coin....so you actually get HALF of what you would have received on the bonus if you wagered the same $20 at $0.10 per line and coin. Pretty slick scam. At any rate. Stay away. Better places to play that can do better than 95% RTP which I am 100% certain is only achieved by providing the lowest waged amounts a higher RTP and then providing INDUSTRY low RTP for bets above $5. Simple math game because they are not certified for RTP across various wage amounts. Play is SIGNIFICANTLY different when you are playing under $5 then it is when you play over $5. $2000 on Golden Gorilla with two features hitting for less than 10x the waged amount. THREE separate times. You cannot replicate that at any other Rival casino. Oh and by the way...they are quick to respond to everything but a withdrawal....and for new players they cap you to a single withdrawal at $500. So even if you hit something big it would take you a year to withdrawal. Never seen any casino stack the odds so much against the players. I hope these guys go under because this is the closest thing to stealing I have seen and I have played since 1996.

I have suspected for awhile that random is not truly in play at Slots.lv. You see the exact same thing where all of their Rival games run your balance down before any feature hits and pays out. If you do randomly hit a feature before reaching 50% of your balance it typically pays less than 5x. Three years playing about 3 days a week and I have never hit anything that posted a positive RTP unless 50% or more of my balance was consumed. Lately I have been tracking their RTG games. I grind up a balance and then take a shot on one of the games that can payout well if a feature hits. Well I am at 41 consecutive tries at $40 or more per spin where I have not even broke 40% RTP on the games?????? 41 consecutive tries with most running sub 30% RTP and not a single feature hit. Same games at $25 and under, I see features hitting all the time, but the moment I go $40 or above they completely disappear. Not sure if anyone else plays there, but does anyone else feel like the site is managing to the player's RTP versus providing true random slot play? Hard to believe after 41 consecutive tries I haven't even broke 40% RTP??? I win there every now and then but they did a maintenance about six months ago and since then I have only been able to get up to a certain amount and then after that the games run sub 50% RTP until the balance is gone. Now I have to just hit and run small dollar amounts there because nothing hits. The other night I made 4 deposits...played 5 games all sub 30%. I even tried three different platforms...all the same. I ran a little test at my own expense. Random generator means I can lose my tail in one session and come back and win in the next...because it is random right...no such thing as a dead machine. Played Big Money Bigfoot 4 sessions in a row...deposit, play, lose, deposit, play, lose repeat. 4 sessions all nearly exactly 36% RTP on the nose and no features in 4 tries...Guess random took a break for the holidays .

I think one thing that people fail to realize is most of these platforms are cyclical. When big hits happen they enter into a cycle...does that mean you cannot win, nope, but the odds of winning have decreased. Random is simply the break in the pattern at that point. As a numbers guy I understand achieving 97% RTP for a platform can be done mathematically numerous ways. I.E. one player hits big...everyone else suffers. I see this commonly on Slots-lv. I cash out there so don't get me wrong...I do well on that site, but in three years never a cash out in the first three weeks of the month. I still play in the first 3 weeks even though the data says I should avoid it completely, but I play lower wage amounts. Average RTP over 3 years the first 3 weeks of the month is 52.5%...yeah that is it. Last week of the month 98.7%. By the way for their Rival and RTG games over three years every time two jackpots have hit within 24 hours, my RTP on those platforms drops to 40%. It is so consistent that I actually log the jackpots at the beginning of my session then before I go and play one of the games I check to make sure no more than one jackpot has been hit. If there has...well I know better than to play. Again not saying this is science, it is my 3 years of data...with my own play. I can say though I cash out more than I lose...most of the RTG casinos have locked my account claiming I am a skilled player...all I have done is tracked my play and simply avoided periods of time and play when certain events have transpired. For example Club World locked my account because I won...yeah casinos love to take our money but they are the sorest losers by a mile. I kept to a simple strategy...no bonus because they stopped letting me use bonuses , never play a game that is under $4k jackpot, and when I raise my waged amount I do it on the games where the jackpots are above $8k as they commonly hit between $8k - $10k on Club World and I am wagering with more to win. Doing that I deposited $8k and withdrew $35k. That was enough to lock my account. The reality though is there are cycles and patterns in some of the games. Yes I said patterns. That does not mean that they are not random...random simply means the pattern was broke. Pay attention to them for example my experience with three games: Lion's Roar - If a free spins happens within the first 10 spins...I leave. Why because in all my sessions only 1 time out of 35 when that happened did I actually post a positive RTP. The other 34 times the feature never fired again and the first feature paid less than 10x the waged amount. Average RTP 60% roughly. Vintage Vegas - Same deal, but even worse 0 out of 40 times the feature hit again and or the initial feature paid more than 10x the waged amount. Average RTP only 30%. Golden Gorilla - This one is less consistent. Three coins with a wild hits, only 5 times out of 42 times after that hit have I posted a positive RTP. Average RTP about 65%. Blazing Buffalo - If bonus hits before the Blazing Buffalo I take the bonus and leave. Why because in only 2 out of 25 events I have posted a positive RTP. Most of the time the money maker (The blazing buffalos) doesn't hit or it hits and pays less than 10x the waged amount. So not saying this works for anyone else, but for me I see the pattern and based on the data my probability of winning is decreased so I leave the game when that pattern hits. I know I could technically still hit something randomly, but we are already playing against significant odds in the casino's favor...so whatever I can do to reduce their odds I simply do. By the way for some of you the data tracking may seem extreme, but for me that is the fun of it. Just like fantasy football where people track every statistic they can. For me, I like tracking data and looking for patterns. It is my analysis and interpretation...it could be completely wrong, but is mine and it makes me feel like I have an edge. So it makes it more entertaining. By the way if you want to try this yourself track the rare items...you can't track every pattern unless you limit yourself to only one game. Free spins in the first 10 spins is rare...so I track that. Certain combinations in specific games that rarely hit, I track the data. For example I see this happen in more than 99% of the times. If I hit Cash Money bonus I look at how much I have spent to reach the bonus...if the bonus pays less than 70% of what I spent to get it...the feature will actually hit again and will typically hit much higher. Again this is my play only so don't take it as tips on how to beat the casino . Your play may be completely different with different waged amounts for example. If you like data though...try it out. You will find it makes it more fun.

Posted over 100% RTP at Club World...so then they closed my account and said I was a "skilled player". I hit two lucky slots Count Spectacular for $18k and Loch Ness Loot for $12k. I had numerous losing sessions, but the manager said I was up on them $15k and was no longer allowed to deposit. They initially started with no bonuses for you...and then I actually won without the bonus so locked my account. I would stay away from them. A casino is happy to take our money all day long...no way they should be allowed to lock accounts because a player actually won. A skilled slot player lol...I have heard everything.

Anyone play the Bovada table games? I was up on them and requested a withdrawal. I normally do not play again after requesting a withdrawal because I noticed you absolutely do not hit anything after a withdraw has been requested. Played Good Girl Bad Girl - $1800 16 free spins - 150 credits, 10 free spins, 350 credits, no other feature. So I though well maybe go to the table games. They might let me play a bit there. I go to Carribean Stud. For about ten minutes it was back and forth...not winning not losing too much. Then I start to get good hands. A straight, dealer rivers a higher straight, two pair, dealer has a full house. Get the picture? So here is eight consecutive hands: Dealer: Higher straight Full House Four of a Kind Full House Full House Two Pair Flush Higher Flush How is that statistically possible? Has anyone in the history of poker every had 8 straight hands like that in Hold 'Em? Can you imagine? You would be lucky to get to your car. The casino would probably ban you just because it was too fishy. Yet it just happened on Bovada. Players beware...those tables games are beyond rigged. Stick to the slots, cash out, don't go back for a week.

I like playing Good Girl Bad Girl, but the money just goes so fast. My casino host even admitted that the average of my sessions on that game were 36% payout over three weeks of play. Nice games by Betsoft, but they tend to taper back the games quite a bit and honestly it feels like they look at your balance and based on the balance they will run you down before a feature hits. I can start with $1600, $400, $1200 it doesn't matter. It will run me down to $200 and then a feature will hit to bring me back up to maybe half, and then all the way down to zero balance. Might be different for other players as I only play 10 cent denomination.

The only caution I would provide as I have played at 7bet and BitStarz is understand the math. I was on the 10 cent denomination is what I thought like I would use for Good Girl Bad Girl on any other site, and I hit 48,000 credits. Well on a 10 cent denomination that is an awesome hit, but when you are the 10 denomination on BitStarz it was only $400 . The math is completely different in terms of wager versus return and honestly it was so difficult for me to the math on the fly in my head I just stopped with the Bitcoin gaming. It is convenient though but be prepared as it does take time at least for my bitcoin wallet to process deposits. It is like request the withdrawal to BitStarz today and maybe tomorrow you can play.

Are there any websites for US Players where you can play NETENT games?
