Never in my life have I played slots that are so blatantly fixed over 500 spins no bonus biggest win £3 after taking over £100 in spins. Recorded gameplay and sent to the Gambling Commission. I absolutely cannot believe this site can get away with what it does 100% fixed. PLEASE AVOID THIS SITE I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL THANK ME LATER. ABSOLUTE disgrace and needs investigating and closing down. All 1.5 hours of the gameplay will be posted on my YouTube and social media as a warning to anyone thinking of joining.

Hello Simon, thank you very much for taking the time to write us a review. We appreciate your feedback and we understand how important your experience is. The excitement of our games is that anything can happen to anyone. We ensure that all our games are fair for everyone by using a Random Number Generator. This tool assures that all outcomes are unknown and impossible to predict.

As well as this, Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) tests, audits, and certifies all our games before they go live on our website.
We measure the profitability of our Slots games through the Return to Player (RTP). This number is the theoretical percentage of winnings that a Slot game will pay back to a player over time expressed as a percentage of total amount wagered.

How does it work?
This theoretical percentage is expected through millions of plays that a player will perform on our website over a long period of time. The outcome of our Slot games is totally random because it's the result of our Random Number Generator. The tool ensures all the outcomes are unknown and impossible to predict. The companies that create our slot games are world leaders in online casino game supply. They provide the same games to many other online casinos.

Where can I find the RTP of a Slot game?
You can check the RTP for all Slots we have on offer. Just start the game you're interested in and go to 'Game Rules' or 'Help'.
We hope you have a nice day.

By far the worst of the poker sites

By far the worst of the poker sites. Completely unreliable software that often crashes. Terrible customer services who are often aggressive In their responses. A pool of players that are now mainly limited to Brazilians and Eastern Europeans who sledge and bait other players. No wider community. A shadow of its former self.
