Golden Riviera - details

4th November 2008
Nearly a month ago I made $80 deposit at Golden Riviera Casino. Since the wagering requirement (WR) for blackjack was 1500 times the bonus amount, I decided not to claim the welcome bonus. Soon enough I lost all my deposit.

Now this is not much of a blog story, but the funny thing happened two days ago. I was investigating something for one of our LCB members, so I had to log into my Golden Riviera account. To my great surprise and pleasure I found my account to be credited with $80 welcome bonus (although I never claimed it).

Now I started playing 2x$10 hands (blackjack mutlihand). My goal was to try to reach $400 and then grind the rest of the WR playing casino war (120xbouns).

At one point I was down to last $20, but soon I recovered. After a while, I was at $225, still half way from the goal I had set. Then I did something that I almost never do, I turned to slots. Yes you are reading right, me the “BJ bonus whore” started playing slots.

I randomly selected a slot called 'Prime Property' , and after just few spins I hit 'free spins'.



Made $127 from those free spins, played some more and then switched to another slot??!! This time it was "The Osborne's", and you wouldn’t believe it, I hit another free spins round, which made me $203.



After a while I lost $100, and by then decided to grind my way through the rest of the WR playing casino war. That “grinding” soon turned to playing $10 a hand. To cut the story, after an hour or so I had met the WR and cashed out $500. Two days later the money was deposited on my MoneyBookers account.

I made $80 deposit, and went straight to the blackjack table. I played Multihand BJ gold, 2 x $2 hands, and soon switched to 2x$5 hands. Lady luck wasn’t on my side that day so I lost it all in matter of minutes.

After two days I received email from Platinum Play Casino customer support, explaining that they’ve granted my account with sign up bonus (since I never claimed it). That was very pleasant surprise; especially since I was given $120 bonus (they offer 150% up to $150 sign up bonus). So with new starting balance I decided to try to build my bankroll up to $500 and then to start grinding through the rest of the WR, or bust completely. My starting hand was $20 playing single deck BJ, and soon 2 x $15 hands at a Multihand table.

It wasn’t very long and I had reached the desired amount of $500, so I decided it was enough and turned to Casino War, and reduced my bets first at $10, then $5, (not the classical grinding , I know). After a couple of hundred hands I was down at $340. I would probably keep on loosing if it wasn’t for my good friends advice (btw cheers josh LCB admin), who suggested that I should make my withdrawal. So I took the advice, made a withdrawal of $290 ($50 was deducted from my balance, since it was the remaining bonus).

At the end instead of loosing $80, I made nice $210 profit. Thank you very much Platinum Play :)

Golden Tiger Casino - details

10th September 2008
Now the first thing to note about this blog entry is it’s not the normal Casino Whoring posts in the past, this one's got some serious deposits involved.

I had been playing blackjack at Golden Tiger Casino for the last week with fairly largish hands of around $75 each and in total depositing $7,000 and withdrawing $9,063... Not knowing much about the rewards program offered by Golden Tiger I thought that was that until I got an email letting me know I had been granted a "Casino Rewards High Roller Bonus". Now not knowing what this was exactly I logged into the rewards system and pleasantly found I had $780 in bonuses to claim, $380 of which was earned by playing that week and the other $350 as an extra bonus... So I sent $350 into Golden Tiger Casino and went in to see what exactly I had to do to cash out. Now going to the cashier I found that the $350 balance was bonus money and I had to play to cash it out. So I went straight into blackjack and started playing 2x $50 hands and ended up on $700 after playing for 10 minutes. I then proceeded to check the cashier and see if I could withdraw, and noticed that even though only $350 of the $700 was in the cash balance I could not withdraw as I had not met the requirements…Noticing blackjack was not helping any to reduce the bonus balance I tried American Roulette and placed $50 randomly on numbers in $5 lots and then one of my numbers hit! Luck was on my side so I played a little more and went back to look at the bank with $930 in my balance...

The Balance showed still $350 in bonus money and the rest in cash but I was still not able to withdraw… so checking the Golden Tiger Casino Review I noticed that American Roulette was at 1500 time the bonus and the next best game to work off the bonus was Casino War which was only 60 times the bonus, so I went to WAR! Now casino war is fast and I managed to stay on the side of lady luck and hit some very luck hands like this one below. With a high $1350 I took this cashier balance screen shot: (Notice you are able to withdraw at this point even though there is still money in the bonus balance).





I continued to play casino war and completed the wagering and cashed out a further $1,050 giving me a total of $3,113 profit for the week at Golden Tiger Casino :)

I made $100 deposit and was instantly granted with $100 bonus. Wagering requirements were 35 times the bonus amount and since blackjack was an excluded game, I decided to give Casino War a try. I started out betting $2 a hand, just to get a feel for the game, and soon switched to $5 a hand. I thought that the Gods of variance weren’t on my side since I started losing hand after hand. Soon I was $100 down, that’s when I decided to risk a bit and started betting $10 hand. After losing seven consecutive hands I was left with only $30 balance, but then things turned and soon enough I recovered. By this time I had cleared 2/3 of the WR, so I started minimizing my bets, and finally grinding $2 a hand. My final balance $300, or $200 profit.
