Gala, the rigged casino....

[deletedaccount20240507]

no matter what game I play, no matter what stake, no matter what time....I ALWAYS lose. ALWAYS. I get gambling is meant to be fun but what is the point when there is absolutely no chance of ever winning? Been with Gala for almost 12 months and still yet to withdraw a single penny....I've screenshotted some of daily sessions, monthly sessions and total loss so you can see not only does this casino take it all, but it it takes it FAST.

 

[Jono777]

Have we been here before?

Not sure?

Ageing Memory Jon?

Who knows?

Seriously mate, I'd quit, it is hard enough to get a game play these days even on the half-rigged versions so Gala with their full-rigged versions you've got no chance.

 

[Avernite]

Why do you keep making threads complaining about the same problem? Lower the stakes, play lower volatility games and don't expect to win. It's supposed to be entertainment. If it's no longer enjoyable stop playing.

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

yep. Just put a tenner in, played lower stakes....and of course lost very quickly. It's honestly an absolute joke how fast I lose every time. Didn't even get a single win above 2x which is bad even for me.

So these stats are showing between 90 and 96% returns on your stake each month which is well within parameters of expectations depending on what slots you are playing.
Slots are meant to take your money and that’s what they are doing and they are doing it within the expected range.

 

[DreamRJ]

Just my 2 pennies worth. Frame of mind matters a lot when gambling - if your frame of mind is always "Money will be deleted in minutes" then you will be always struggling.

When you gamble you need to remember casinos always win in the end, but you should be gambling not to win but for entertainment if you win thats great but you also need to make sure you are gambling within your means and not gambling money you can not afford to lose as everyone always states.

So many get into debt because of gambling it also causes breakups and causes rifts in family's loss of friends because you beg for money to gamble etc. Sell everything you have just to get another fix. That is when you know you have a gambling problem.

Number 1 tip is only gamble for entertainment (not to win).

We'd all be fighting over that one these days

Maybe a "Lose very quickly and get over to CM to whinge within 60 seconds of busting" award

 

[justdoit]

17mins boom £320 profit ?

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

Thank you for taking the piss out of me guys, always an idiot on here. Anyway, another £15 quid put in tonight, doing lower stakes this time. Of course I lost again, but at least this time I kept getting little wins of around 3-4x before it went on a long run of dead spins to finish me off.

You need to take a break and maybe come back but play at a different casino Gala is not a good brand. Try Videoslots or MrVegas

 

[DreddBeat]

Try Mr Q.

And again, the results he’s getting are within the expected range for the types of games he’s playing. Switching to a different site running at the same RTP won’t make any difference.

What he needs to do is stop playing and expecting to win, or stop playing entirely.

You are supposed to lose. It's what the house edge is for. If you aren't playing 96% slots and they are 94 or 92% then you will lose 50% and 100% faster respectively on average, than you're maybe used to.

 

[satchnz]

Would one of the mods please add a ‘tedious’ tag to this thread?

The superstition about the casino's influence on the outcome still lives strong in player circles. Sure, it doesn't matter which casino you play at as long as the theoretical returns in the games are the same

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

not too bad a session tonight...almost 3,000 spins and about 5 hours of play....unfortunately didn't hit a single bonus feature in any game but I did get a win of 6x on one of the games, a very decent £6 from a pound spin. Lost about £3,000 overall again, but I'm happy enough with the 6x win. Of course I'm never ever going to even make a penny over what i deposit on any session but at least it kept me going for a bit

 

[Avernite]

At this stage I'm convinced you're trolling.

Go on then I will bite, so what games did you play for 5 hours without a win over 6x and not a single feature?

Wouldn't even bother wasting your time
Asking anymore. No doubt there will be another hundred posts stating the same garbage.

 

[TheAddict]

To be as polite as possible, please wack a session or 2 (preferably lower stakes) on youtube, it would be the only video of its kind available, very unique. You could make a channel, the gambler who never wins anything. Fuck all, forever. Mr. Unlucky.
Or, you could stop talking out of your ass.

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

you lot are just taking the piss. Fine. I won't bother posting anymore. I've posted numerous screenshots already of my losses and gameplay. I ain't doing it again.

 

[itsme123]

But not once have you responded when it’s been pointed out that you’re posting stats that show 90-96% return to your stake each month.
When you post stats like that it basically shows the opposite to everything you are saying.

Exactly this - for your July-March screenshot the RTP is 90.75% which is slightly below target (of I assume 94%).

The only anomaly there is your March session, and the sample size is small enough that it can be explained in a number of ways (high bets, ultra-high variance slot etc).

As the number of spins increases, the trend will be towards RTP - that's why the house edge exists.

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

I don't care about all that. All I care about is the fact I've lost nearly £9000 on this site and have yet to withdraw asingle penny because every single session without fail I never even get a penny above what i deposit.

 

[itsme123]

But “all that” basically disproves everything that you say…. You never say what slots you play or what stakes but everything you display shows pretty much normal gameplay.

 

[The Dude]

Then it's a good time to lick your wounds and move on. The house's odd are not in your favour, and the more you play, the more this will ring true.

 

[slot_zombie]

Thh if there is any valid point in this thread, it's that slotting genuinely doesn't favour the low roller any more.

I did a $100 deposit last night on max RTP casino and lasted 40 minutes on 0.40 stake without a single bonus, playing Play n Go "medium to medium high variance" stuff. Could have got several nights out of that low stake a few years ago.

It's very poor entertainment value these days, and the thought of just packing in the hobby has crossed my mind recently.

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

Put another £50 quid in tonight and decided to try the lowest stake possible....I did manage to trigger the bonus feature once and unfortunately for the 9th bonus in a row again didn't quite give me 1x, almost 0.5x so I guess that's ok. Will keep trying.

 

[thr0b]

Again - you're playing high variance slots at low RTPs. This is not a shock!

 

[clogs]

Managed to turn 50 into 350 tonight. Then my luck changed and lost it all, so gutted. Really needed the win after 10 losing sessions in a row

 

[Lalka001]

Why do you keep playing at this casino then try another one and you'll probably start winning! I wish uou the best of Luck at another Casino!

no matter what game I play, no matter what stake, no matter what time....I ALWAYS lose. ALWAYS.

[TheSchwad]

Thought I'd give Gala Casino a go myself to see how 'bad' it was.

Its the exact same layout, games, RTP as Party Casino/Ladbrokes (casinos I've won plenty at), and Welcome deal of wager £5 get £30 bonus seemed decent.
Took all of 12 mins to get an above 7x win, even on Bonanza, one of the 12 games you can use Bonus on (as I'd swore I'd never play it again). The bonus is front loaded, so if you can wager the 5 without loss you can withdraw the deposit once the bonus is lost. I didn't but got 40 min playtime for £5 on 60p.

Doubt I'll play here again, but its no different to any other casino. Game selection is key, and its impossible not to win 7x+ in a 30 min session, never mind days on end.

Why didn't you cash out the profit?

When you're lucky enough to x7 your deposit, you should always set a profitable bottom line. If it hits that bottom, call it a night!

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

So obviously you will all know how much I have lost on Gala already this year (£9000 plus), still yet to withdraw a single penny.....but tonight was a new low. I spun the reward wheel, you know the one where you get 3 free dead 10p spins if you deposit a tenner, however tonight it landed on £100! It even said 'Congratulations, you have won £100 cash!' However it never got a paid into my account. When I checked my rewards I had seen it gave me 3 free spins again, which of course were dead. I've never landed on another segment of the wheel in all my time being on the site. I spoke to customer service who said there is no record of me landing on £100. Unfortanately I didn't screenshot it as I was excited and assumed it would pay me just fine. I told them I had literally just spun it and that's what it landed on, and they basically said I was lying before sending me a final warning and then banning me from the chat. Absolutely disgusting. What do I do about this site that is clearly scamming me? Is there anyway of getting my deposits back because I have evidence now that they are liars and cheats.

If you have had issues before with gala why are you still playing there 2ndly why on earth didnt u SS it.

". Unfortanately I didn't screenshot it as I was excited and assumed it would pay me just fine."

But at same time you say they have been rigging you so when you say the assumed it would pay fine just does not add up.

If I felt like i was getting scammed out of money not getting anywins the latest the thing I would think is they would pay me just fine, its just does not add up.

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

Well because it was the first time I actually won any money so I didn't have any reason to doubt it wouldn't be paid, obviously it's a website that is fake.

 

[scott dickson]

What evidence do you have that they are liars and cheats? If I'm not mistaken you said in your post you didn't take a screenshot of it landing on £100.

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

Because I know what I saw!! As I said, I didn't know at the time it wouldn't pay me which is why I didn't feel the need to screenshot it. Looks like based on the comments I'm getting it's MY fault for not taking a photo to prove they are scammers. Great.

 

[scott dickson]

Nobody said it was your fault but you can't really go trying to claim your deposits back when your evidence is you saw something with no actual proof to back It up.

Now as many others have said if you truly believe gala casino is rigged then why are you still playing there? There are plenty of other casino to choose from.

 

[DreddBeat]

Why do you continue to play at Gala?

 

[deletedaccount20240507]

I won't be anymore.

 

[thr0b]

“I’m closing the Bureau…for an hour”

 

[Brewslee]

I hear what you’re saying, and I can see why this whole situation has left a bad taste in some mouths. It's never fun when you feel like you’ve drawn the short straw, especially in an online slot game.

 

[The Dude]

I'm kinda wondering how the chat session went - getting banned from chat is a pretty big deal

 

[mcgameboy]

I don't care about all that. All I care about is the fact I've lost nearly £9000 on this site and have yet to withdraw asingle penny because every single session without fail I never even get a penny above what i deposit.

Are you curremon's even unluckier cousin?

On a serious note, I'd have to ask what games you are playing and at what bet size. Or whether you are just bullshitting us all with your tissue of whoppers.

Are you playing Pragmatics at 94% RTP? Or Play N Gos at 94%? If you are, good luck trying to win on those!

Personally, I have done ok there playing the likes of Golden Fishtank 2, Eye Of Horus, Bonanza (yes really!), Playboy, Vikings Go Berserk, Razor Returns, a couple of Playtechs (Buffalo Blitz, Epic Ape) and a few Novos (Dolphins Pearl, Book Of Ra Deluxe *, Lucky Lady's Charm)

* oddly enough, I think BORD runs at 94% RTP at Gala, yet I once hit a 1,250x win on it).
I've also had some decent wins (over 300x) playing Money Cart 4 (94%) and Big Bass Splash (also at 94%).

I'd be going through the games checking the RTP if I were you.
If you find that you are playing games at 94% RTP, maybe consider making some changes to your game selections?

 

[Jono777]

Wait! - games above 94% are still available

Had no idea they had playboy, I quite liked that, used to play it on stan James but when unibet took them over it vanished. Couldn't find it on any of my other uk haunts [like whill etc..] I supposed it was too racy or family unfriendly.

If I ever get a half decent balance again on there, I'll keenly search it out and give it a blast!
