Let's take a look at the last 9 releases by NLC
Remember when a new NLC release was exciting? Usually something fun to play with a great chance for wins? Doesn't seem the way anymore.
Seems standard now to have the option to guarantee a scatter(s) for more money. I don't like the extra bet option in any game. It's just another way to take more money from you.
I've only played the bottom 3 above on real money before now and none are any that I have revisited. Rock Bottom, Pearl Harbour and Dead Canary are AWFUL games. I don't understand why anyone would play them. The new Walk of Shame is soooo basic.....you aren't winning anything good unless you get a few walking wilds.
I suppose it is hard to keep quality up and not settle into the production line model of releasing games like Pragmatic and PlayNGo do. NLC are not releasing that often yet but any thought of quality for their games seems to have disappeared. It's a shame.
It is very rare I post here I read a lot of stuff and keep my views to myself been following the lads for over 7/8 years now and they are great no bullshit with these boys I’ve had the odd giveaway win etc .
My post today focuses on UK slots , now I know most of us already know reasons such as auto spins no bonus buys etc are fucking annoying. I have managed just about to fight through the annoying things using auto click software is one shortcut and just accepting some games whilst they are the higher variance are just not feasible in the UK without buys.
What I have finally begun to not accept and has ruined slots for me is simply the amount of money these games take to even bonus or to begin thinking about giving a bonus just dead spin after dead spin and no base game wins of note. I generally play 40/60/80p some games it’s £40-50 for a bonus that pays 10x and yes that’s just slots I get that but now we also have to factor in because of how slow these things play now it’s half an hour of time and £40-50 quid loss for 10x becomes unbearable . I think right now we’re just being completely fingered and actually it’s becoming a complete robbery , yes i expect to lose each deposit of course I do but where has the fun gone for that cash .
Sometimes I resort to playing low variance games that I don’t particularly like but will do it just for a few bonuses and a bit of fun , golden colts the easiest game on planet earth to bonus 40 p stakes £23 pound it took for a bonus that paid £4.
Pragmatic I think there games are great I enjoy them but why have they become games that basically are bonus or bust , there base game wins are lower than the stake majority of the time so even a winning spin becomes a losing one and with dead spins ultimately your balance is bartered . There bonuses also put of 10 spins you might get one winning spin the rest dead . It is not about losing money just but where is the excitement in a bonus that pays on one spin of 10 and the rest dead it doesn’t make sense to me . Are we just mugs in the UK feeding these things and getting laughed at are we simply filling the bankroll for there out of UK offerings for bonus buyers etc ?
BTG and megaways - where to even begin with these , firstly they are slower than ever Jesus it’s dull but my main gripe with BTG is again the bonuses not only does it takes hours and a shit load of money to land if your lucky enough to land it but then the bonus is just dead spins nearly 90% of the time there’s no fun in these bonus games anymore it’s completely fucked . Also building a 10-15x multi in the first few spins to then get dead spins for every other spin is draining on excitement we all know the potential of a win has gone when really it should bring that excitement of hope and for regular players it’s so obvious that the bonus is done and you’ve not even hit anything of note .
Lil devil needs a forum post of its own I’ve personally played 10s of thousands of spins on this game the heartstopper thing is one of the worst things I’ve ever witnessed and been a part of , 5x for hours of spins and nowadays you can go the whole 40 hearts without hitting a single bonus
i know this has turned into a bit of a rant so I’ll stop moaning my main point is not money loss that’s my responsibility and my own doing for playing on , it’s more the fun has gone these providers are not interesting on making games that play well anymore just games that can take money and pay one person on Sweden once every 60 weeks .
what can be done to fix this ? I am not sure anything can be done the UK shaw become a market that just accepts losing money to games that have no intention of paying or providing enjoyment .
is it just me that has sank to this feeling that slots are finished in the UK , am I being to negative ?

Hi everyone, just found this site while browsing for vids on YouTube, very interesting and happy to have joined,
I'm not a high stakes player, on quite a few of the White Hat sites grabbing their bonuses and moving around, love that poeple here can share their experiances with dfifferent games and casinos and how they pay out, Went in blind so may times and bust its not even funny...
Haha funny you mention that shakin. First time I played wanted dead or a wild I lost around £100 on 40p a spin waiting for one tease. One that never came. Didn't realise until I saw it on a stream that a tease is a guaranteed bonus. Bloody moron. 😂
Our revenue is a mixture of hybrids and CPA Only, so some brands we run we see nothing in terms of revenue share and others is mixed for a first time deposit and further revenue generated by continued play.
And for the giveaways themselves, we fund them all.
There's been plenty of posts about Las Vegas Casino so I thought I'd review it fairly for anyone interested.
SIGN UP
Easy enough to do with standard information asked for. GD members must use the promo code to get the 100% bonus match which holds a 35x conversion to real cash on the bonus amount. Winning from converted bonus are not capped for GD members but otherwise are capped (more on that under bonuses)
SITE LAYOUT
Simple and easy layout with standard search box but also the option to choose by provider. Everything is easy to find. Nothing flash and does the job
GAME SELECTION
This is an area where the site really suffers at the moment. They are in the process of bringing more games in but you will not find all your favourite games. That said, there are enough games to choose from to make for a session of play. Well worth checking before depositing to see if the games available are ones you play or whether your favourites are available.
GAME RTP
This has vastly improved especially for Hacksaw games which are now 93% rather than the abysmal 88%. That said, certain providers are on the low end especially PlayNGo with the games I have tried at 91%. There are casinos out there with a better RTP on games. As with game selection, highly advise to check RTP's on games before playing.
BONUSES
Offers of 10 free spins on selected games usually are offered around once a week which is nice. Deposit match bonuses are also available by email offer but these are not worth taking unless you want to extend your play or if you are making a video and want more content. Let's look at an example of a bonus that is a 100% match:
You deposit £10 and get a £10 match. You use your cash first and enter bonus money. The wagering 40x the bonus amount which is £400. Tall order to achieve the wagering. If you do complete the wagering the withdrawal amount is capped at 4x the bonus amount meaning the most you can withdraw is £40. In short, I wouldn't look at the bonus money as a way of rescuing your deposit.
There is hopefully a chance that GD members will not have the withdrawal cap in the future but at the time of writing this is not active.
VERIFICATION
Only asked for when making the first deposit. You will be asked for the standard docs and proof of all deposit methods you have used. Docs can be uploaded to the site nice and easily. Verification for me took 2 days. Not the quickest but I can not comment as to whether this is standard.
LOYALTY
There is a loyalty program and points are gathered by completing tasks such as playing 3 different slot, x amount of table games or 10 different slots. Points can be used to exchange for bonus money in the value of £20, £30 or £50. The values have 50x wagering but it is not stated if winnings are capped should wagering be completed. It is a nice feature.
WITHDRAWALS
Not automated and have to manually approved. I have made 3 withdrawals with no consistency on time ranging from 90min approval to 48hr approval.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Plenty of room to improve in the area of game selection, RTP, bonuses and withdrawals. The bonus conversion rate is inconsistent and needs to be set at one rate and to even make it worth taking the winnings cap needs to be removed. Withdrawals could do with being moved to automated and maybe this is something that will happen in the future but a set processing time needs to be chosen and stuck to (2rs, 24hr, 48hr) so that the player knows when they can expect their money.
There are positives to the site but everything is early days. There are much better casino's out there and I would use this casino as a back up for now and then but not as a main casino.
UPDATE:
I have been paid the £4,500 owed.
I have also been "silenced" by some legal team in regards to some things i have been saying that are supposedly not public and defamation of the company.
You will never take away my opinion though.
Scamming fucks and i hope i have cost them a gold mines worth of revenue.
I had to take down my last video (sunday slots part 8) but it is coming back with the mr vegas rant edited out (again, had my hand forced)
Just watched your video
One of the reasons all of us watch you and Jimbo is because you're honest and you're using your own money. You are both of the rare group of 'real' streamers/content makers.
You're right, £500 a week is a lot of money to make a video. Me personally, I think you should drop the stake to £1 spins and increase if you hit something. I know you have your style of play and set stake but if needed lower the stake. I think the majority of regulars on here play less than a quid as standard but most of your viewers will not care if you drop the stake.
You can't do a video at Las Vegas Casino because the RTP is so poor. Counterproductive doing so just to get a bonus.
Why not give us spud loving every 2 weeks?........and,,,,,,I'm guilty of this but I put fuck all videos out.......you're just playing the same old same old. You gotta branch out on the game selection if doing videos.
I tend to stay away from games that allow you to gamble your hard earned spins for more, gamble cash for spins or allow you to lock a reel for money (most Oz games).
Given how hard it is to get a bonus sometimes I think it is out of order of the providers to include such a function. You want to ban a bonus buy, ban these games also. Once again the UKGC having no idea of the industry with their inconsistency.
Oh, all games should have a bonus guarantee as well.
Rant over.

Hopefully in time the game selection gets expanded as well... as a Relax gaming fan it is sad to see them and Push amongst the brands seemingly absent from the site, as well quite a few more recent releases from the likes of BTG and NLC missing.
BTW does anyone know what game the free spins are for on the sign up?
The registration free spins are on Book of Dead, once or twice a week I am also giving away free spins upon login (I used to be able to only do depositing players) But I am arranging for all players.
Free Spins this week will be for Riches of Robin, next week: Forge of Gems and Centurion Megaways.
Regarding the providers, I am working as we speak to get a lot more games etc added.
Finally got a first place and won 100 free spins (which only paid about £18, but free money is free money), dident even see the win as was quick spinning and not paying attention lol. But yeah, must have played literally 100s of these battles and believed it was always bots that won them.
Nice. Them caps are pure aids like.
To me the RTP is something that is very important and you are correct and if it were highlighted on every game at the outset of clicking it I have no doubt it would raise awareness ( and be a good thing) I am however always amazed that so few people actually even know or care about what it is.
I had planned to do a post on this a while ago but never had the time to do so.
Ah they are entitled to moan for sure, just as they do so in the right manner.
People are always quick to try and blame others for their mistakes, problem gamblers included!
Easiest way to look at this is as follows
You're playing the game on a 20p stake and after 10, 100 or 1000 spins a bonus comes in and gives you a 2000x win. Your stake was 20p for the spin and as such the game just gave £400 and a 2000x win. It may have cost you £2, £20 or £200 in spins to get that bonus (based on the example values).
All you are doing with a bonus buy is consolidating the amount of spins it may take to get that bonus because as we know, that bonus may never drop within the example values. Via free play it may have come in but who knows.
In my view you are getting the x value win regardless of how much you spent to buy the bonus because when looking at it on free play spins does anyone ever go 'well done but it cost you x amount of your balance to get so let's take that into account'?. No, they don't.
