The gambler gobbles up free spins and no deposit bonuses like a delectable gourmet dessert. On the hand the max cash-out is miserly and there is this gnawing concern that dances around in their heads “what if I win a jackpot” but it is quickly dismissed as we merrily spin away. Ah, those terms and conditions can be the death of us as that moment of victory suddenly turns to complete defeat.
LCB member since 2012 Sapit222 experienced the euphoria of a random jackpot to only watch it slip through his hands. Playing the Three Stooges slot, it could be straight out of a scene of the classic television comedy show – Curly wins the big one and buys a round of beers for the house when Moe comes up behind him, clunks the side of his head with a frying pan shouting “YOU ONLY WON $50!"
His bittersweet win happened at Casino Extreme and yes, extreme, it truly was when the free spins bonus triggered the Three Stooges Jackpot for €479.24. Sapit222 sadly enough, like the fictitious story of Curly can only walk away with 50 Euros. He shared his winning screen shot at the LCB forum and I was able to do a follow up with him.
Swedish born, he could have sorely used the extra cash as he currently is unemployed and actively “Looking for a job”. Thankfully it was not his biggest win and has had the pleasure of winning more cash than this jackpot was.
Besides playing online I asked if he ever goes to the land-based casinos:
“Yes, i have been to a few. Mostly to Casino Cosmopol in Stockholm”
A good sport about it, he is not bitter after all, something is better than nothing. In his free time, he likes to spend it with his girlfriend and daughter watching films. At least he is not unlucky in love!

I did this exact thing at Sunrise. I was so frustrated. But I get it, if we all were able to take home jackpot wins off NDB and free spins, theyd go bankrupt. Hopefully this player has gotten better luck since. I have wondered though if some places allow you to hit the jackpot knowing you cant cash it out therefore they...

Hopefully this player has gotten better luck since. I have wondered though if some places allow you to hit the jackpot knowing you cant cash it out therefore they pocket those winnings making more from a hit.

This definitely happens, it has happened to me, and it has happened when I was playing free tournaments too. But if you look at it in a different way you do have that Jackpot win to wager to get the max cash out of a no deposit bonus, which he did it looks like, nice to have some money at least, but yes, to have won that...

OMG! That is the part of the free bonuses that are given out. That's always about the time that you would hit a major, or minor jackpot only to find out the you have a withdrawal limit that is pennies on the dollar basically on a big win like that. As a matter of fact, I never take a deposit bonus anymore that has a limit on the withdrawal like that anymore. I was burnt a couple times on something like that and I don't even go near them anymore. Red Stag does that on most of there free bonuses but not the deposit bonuses. You just have to be careful and read the fine print as they say and go accordingly. I chose not to ever be disappointed like that ever again myself!

I won a $10,000 jackpot one time on a free chip playing Super 7s slot at a bingo site. It was still a head rush to see those symbols line up across my screen. In reality, I can't help but think I won cuz it was a free chip. If I had played with real moolah would the outcome be the same?

When I play games with a random jackpot and I'm on a no deposit bonus or some free spins, I keep my mind away from the jackpot . You gotta make the playthrough and if you don't , nothing else matters. If I do hit the jackpot, hey, I'm a heck of a lot closer to the end of the playthrough and can start thinking about...

You gotta make the playthrough and if you don't , nothing else matters. If I do hit the jackpot, hey, I'm a heck of a lot closer to the end of the playthrough and can start thinking about withdrawing what I can. We all know going in with some kind of bonus that there is a max cashout !

i would like to write my first try at a free chip,i was a total newbie and did not understand the rules. the casino was shark casino long defunt now but i hit my first royal flush there and had got my free $7 chip up to 50+ dollars at that time so i started playing video poker (which was legal at the time with free chips) at $2.50 a spin,i was told i would get $49 for that but the head manager poked in and said (it was on a forum called something like "pig pen" or close, that since it was my first time they would pay me the whole thing,now that gave them some powerful pr but they kept their word so i ended up collecting $2,000 at $400 a day,they used to let you collect right off your visa card back then,that was a long time ago but that was what i called a casino that went above and beyond. to bad they went out of buissness or id still be playing there now,yobaboy
