@appolo it just so happened that my older daughter went to Sochi a week before me with her boyfriend, I thought she was at the beach, and then she sent photos and what do I see:))))) – in a casino!
@lexantim never envy anyone, ever!! Go if you really want to, you’ll find everything for that: both time and money! Be sure to go, and more than once!
@gans2115 basically, in Azov City at first, for a couple of years it was like in all the Vulkans and Jackpots, you had to shove money into the machine, cash out by pressing a button, a receipt would crawl out, and you took it to the cashier (though at the start the administrators seemed to write the cashout on paper, something like that). We used to come there sometimes and it would pay out so hard that with a grand you could play all night, 2k from one machine, 1k from another, 5k cashouts from a third… Drinks were free, beer free, vodka free, real coffee free, canapes, pies, all free! A buddy even hauled away 100k a couple of times…
Then when they announced the shutdown of the gaming zone and its move to Sochi, but left it open until the Football World Cup, they introduced the GUEST CARD, you had to top it up at the cashier and stick it into the machine, and for a couple of years WE NEVER WON ANYTHING THERE, we were always losing, if one machine gave a bonus, that was it, you wouldn’t win anywhere else…. That is, when the player was anonymous, there were profits every other time, and as soon as they introduced the guest card, where all the players are visible on the server, all the money got drained …
@appolo That is what “fair” RTP is!)))
@gans2115 and that’s usually how it is when you psych yourself up for something awful, everything turns out exactly the opposite.
@gans2115 yeah, even like that it looks pretty atmospheric, sitting with a cig by a slot machine is total bliss)))
@lexantim That’s exactly how people used to sit in gaming halls back then, until they got shut down + beer on the house (at least it was like that in the “Jackpot” chain).
@reddog123 here in St. Petersburg, “Jackpot” wasn’t especially popular. Our top chain was “Crazy Fruits”, second place was “Volcanoes”, and then “Anchor”, and only after that, probably, “Jackpot”.
@gans2115 not Vitos, but Vitya Vantus, a scammer, fant.okrut, a swindler.))) He wolfed down some smoked Atlantic eel.?
@vasabi no:))) I don’t like things that don’t look very alive:)))
@gans2115 yeah, but who even goes to offline casinos here, maybe 5 people at most, the rest are in the know, snagging no-deposit bonuses for 200 rubles.
@gans2115 no, I went last year, bought some eel at the market, treated my coworkers at work, a bit too fatty of course, but solid.))) And I wanted to go to the casino, but didn’t make it there. And as for that, you’re right, listening to people is the last thing, everyone has their own tastes, you have to try everything and see for yourself, it’s usually the Navalny crowd shouting “outside the MKAD, outside the MKAD”, and nooo, Russia, no matter how much they try to strangle it, is developing. Head to the Far East if you get the chance, you’ll be blown away by the nature and everything.
@vasabi I haven’t been that way, I’ve mostly been to the west and Asia:))) I haven’t been east of Kazan in Russia, I’ve traveled all over the central part and the south, by car, by train, and by plane.
My plan, if I do Russia next time, is Altai. And, by the way, there’s a gambling zone there too:)))
@vasabi when I registered here on the forum, I thought it would be the other way around, that there would be more people with money, pro players and the like, but yeah, a lot of people really are here only for no-deposit bonuses. Still, credit where it’s due, there are a lot of good people, both with money and without. Of course, there are also those who try to scam you and get something out of it, that is, not the target audience…
Basically, like everywhere else in life.
@gans2115 this year we wanted to go to the sea, but these nazis have gotten everyone fed up with their drones, so we decided to go have some fun in Altai in August, think about joining us, it’ll be more fun with a crowd….
@gans2115 great story, now I also dream of going and trying offline myself, but as far as I know, are the slots boring there or can you find something to your taste?
