First, I did like to apologize in advance if something like this have been discussed previously and recently, I obviously took no notice of it and why I decided to make this thread. And also, the thread is based on my own personal experiences.
Hi gamblers, i did like to first say that I have gotten free spins from different casinos In time past, and they all gave me this very same result, but to cut the whole thing short, i will use my last two experiences for references.
I usually play very often on a telegram casino known as Whale 🐳, and the first time I join the casino, they gave me 50 free spins after reaching a certain level in their casino, I played the free spins on the casino game they tied to it, I was expecting to make good winning, but alas, at the end of it all, what I managed to win was just a little above $3.
And recently, about 4 or 5 days ago, they gave me another 20 free spins to be played on gates of Olympus, again, I was expecting that I did be very lucky to win a really handsome amount of money since gates of Olympus is a very popular slot game, and possibly with better house edge or something, but alas, after spending the whole 20 free spins, what I managed to make was just around $2.01.
I was obviously disappointed, and I kept asking myself, is it that those guys have programmed the system not to allow players win any good amount of money any time they play slot with free spins given to then by the casino?
And to confirm if this thought is true, I will like to have other gamblers share their own experiences too, maybe I am right, or not, let know what you think.
I understand your frustration with free spins. It may seem like the house has arranged things to provide the bare minimum when you use the bonus. My experience with free spins from many online casinos is similar. Where victories are often small And I hardly hit anything important.
I think that though free spins, are often tied with tight wagering requirement or minimal wincaps. These are used by casinos as a form of promotion to keep players from leaving rather than an actual way of making huge profits. It is the same reason when I get free spins. I try to view it as just some meager honor or a fun way of prolonging the playing time instead of looking for large profits.
I'd love to hear if anyone else has had a different experience. There may be some games or casinos where free spins give better returns. Or as you mentioned Perhaps there is a pattern in every casino where the rewards from free spins are fixed to be low.
I got around 80 bucks once. But then again, this was a very rare event.
Free spins feel unluckier to me, as if though you do not always win as much or as often as with paid spins. But I am sure that is just a personal bias.
Usually I win small amounts, but even those are quite rare.
Luck of the draw! Free spins are at times so in fashion; still, though you said, those are really rare. Free spins do seem to be 'Unpleasant', and I feel it's just psychological or maybe a bit different from paid spins. It makes sense that casinos might not want to give away big prizes with free spins. Because it is for promotional purposes. Even though I won small prizes, I still felt like it kept me playing more than actually winning big prizes.
I once got a significant or quite big win from free spins, The incident was so short where I was working away from home with a life situation that really depended on me, in this situation I had to be able to manage my finances well. At that time I received wages from my work I divided it evenly but there were still shortcomings or urgent circumstances that made me short of money, and for some reason I ran to gambling by doing it full of hope.
I gambled in my room resting resignedly because the balance I had was almost gone but I was very lucky I was able to get a free spin with a fairly large bet amount and unexpectedly I also got a big multiplier that surprised me. Honestly the results of that gambling made me have enough money, I could even fulfill what I wanted at a fairly high price.
It happened because luck was on my side, I'm sure of that. Because if I'm not lucky then I won't get a big enough win for myself.
Wow, that sounds incredibly fun! It's amazing how big wins can happen when you least expect it. Especially when they loom large in your own life. I can imagine this will bring you relief in such a difficult situation. In fact It shows how unpredictable gambling can be. And sometimes luck plays a key role in turning the tables.
But hearing your story makes me think that while victories like yours are possible, But this seems to be the exception rather than the rule. For most of us Free spins tend to result in small wins. And it's easy to get caught up in the hope that there will be. Another 'big explosion' is a reminder that luck is fleeting. And relying on luck can be dangerous.
