Halloween has come and gone, but it seems like our squad missed the memo. We were hoping to see a few costumed influencers roaming the casino, but the jackpots continued as usual while our under-dressed YouTube pals captured mind-blowing wins and massive bonuses on video.
Welcome to The Respin. Every week, our experts browse YouTube to see what’s happening live from the casino floor. Then, we narrate the action in short-form to accommodate players who’re crunched for time. There might not be many costumes, but this week’s jackpots are super-scary.
Firstly, let’s take a look at Pompsie’s trick-or-treating haul.
1. Pompsie Pockets His Largest-Ever Jackpot on Mo’ Mummy
As Pompsie Slots reluctantly sunk a $1,000 cash voucher into Mo’ Mummy, he couldn’t have expected to leave the casino a significantly richer man. Despite an expressionless intro that implied he might be questioning his career choices, he knuckled up with max bet $50.00 spins.
His first $1,000 went quickly as expected, but his luck was just starting to change for the better. Just a few $50 spins into his next $1,000 voucher, he triggered the “Cash Collect” bonus game. As the mummy chased after several green diamonds, he turned into a much larger monster.
By the end of this bonus feature, Pompsie won $5,895. Feeling emboldened by his abrupt luck change, Pompsie spent the rest of his bankroll in a hurry. Before loading a third $1,000 voucher in the game, he changed to a $0.50 bet denomination. Unfortunately, this didn’t save his cash.
Sometimes, it pays to “hit it and quit it” (Pompsie’s words, not mine) before giving it all back.
2. Ruby Gets Into A Hit-And-Run, Sues the Slots, and Wins Big
Ruby Slots has been getting into quite a number of “hit-and-runs” lately, but we’re not talking about car accidents. Ruby’s hit-and-run strategy involves a single $100 bill, lots of luck, and a healthy dose of perseverance. The rules are simple: play ‘till she gets a bonus game, then run.
Jewel of the Dragon was her first target, and she quickly doubled her money with a $115 bonus. Rising Rockets Emperor was unforgiving, taking every dollar she had with no return. Bang Bam Boom was next on the chopping block. She made her money back with a lucky, $123.75 bonus.
Tian Ci Jin Lu spit back a bonus feature immediately, crediting her bankroll with a $102.90 win. By the time she decided to cash out $600 and wrap it up, Ruby Slots had earned a $100 profit.
3. Albert’s Slot Channel Locks Down A Handpay at the Peppermill
Albert’s Slot Channel is known for stringing together the world’s unlikeliest slot bonuses. Last night’s session was no different for the man of the hour as he played Fu Dai Lian Lian with four simultaneously active bonus grids. He started recording in the middle of a $149.70 bonus win.
His next Super Feature was far more profitable, putting $490.54 back in his pocket. At the time, Albert was betting a lofty $6 per spin on each grid. In total, he was spending $24 to spin through four grids at once. His aggressive strategy quickly paid off with yet another 28-spin bonus round.
He’d originally triggered just ten free games with the Super Mega Feature applied, but constant re-triggers kept Albert’s bankroll intact as he raked in the dough. He saved his most impressive handpay for last, adding $1,727.58 to his bankroll. In total, Albert won an estimated $2,367.82.
4. Old-School Slots Tests His Mettle With $10 Bets on Triple Stars
Old-School Slots doesn’t bother with Huff N’ Puff, flashy progressives or new-age slot machines in the slightest. This week, he tested his quote-on-quote “winning method” on Triple Stars at the Foxwoods Casino & Resort in Connecticut. This 3-reel game has a $5 bet minimum/credit size.
He chose to spend two credits at a time, equating to $10 per spin. As he commanded the right symbols to appear with every spin, the excitement was palpable. Once his $60 in free play was gone like the wind, he loaded $100 in cash (and enjoyed a much better ratio of wins to losses).
His thinking? Get the slot “tired” with free play and save the good spins for later. We can’t attest to the reliability of this method, but more money always means more (potential) chances to win.
5. Stacey’s High-Limit Slots Records A Casino Trip Back In Time
Last but not least, Stacey’s High-Limit Slots was feeling nostalgic at the Hollywood Casino. She decided to quell viewers’ thirst for excitement with the venue’s remaining vintage slot machines.
While she didn’t give it all away in the introduction, she picked three hard-to-find games and got to work. First up, she took a swing at “I Dream of Jeannie.” This old-school, 3-reel machine was happy to see Stacey! The robotic voice echoed “Hello, Master” when she loaded up a $100 bill.
In something that could have been taken from an episode of The Jetsons, Stacey blew the dust off this machine and secured a $60 win on her first spin. Next up, she played “S’Mores” by IGT. The game’s $10 minimum bet threw her off, but she broke even after a few minutes of spinning.
Finally, she played “Triple Double Butterfly Sevens” – a game she claims she hasn’t seen in 20 years. Unfortunately, her financial sacrifice was necessary for this video and our entertainment.
