I think with the removal of the 5-second rule and acceptable RTP values, there would be a bit of tinsel back in the slots area. But I have little hope for that either. Otherwise, I Deposit and play much less than before the regulation. An alternative would be to switch to sports betting, but somehow that still lacks a certain appeal.

what annoys me most is the 5 second rule and the lack of autospin. as I'm a classic Low Roller anyway, the €1 max limit doesn't bother me at all.

At least getting beer by bike makes total sense, but PSC cards are way too exhausting

Especially when you arrive at the gas station late in the evening, only to find out that no more PSCs can be issued because the daily limit is exhausted....


10 years ago I sometimes got 300-500€ in PSCs directly at once... today only 100-150€ is possible everywhere, depending on whether it's a gas station or a supermarket..

So you have to go to several places ..

There's only one gas station in my town. A round trip with 100 here and 100 there would be conceivable if I pedaled a bit and also went to the neighboring town, but that doesn't sound really great. I'd even walk all that for cigarettes if I had to, but not for a couple of old payment cards. But I've never been to the gas station...for that either. I think I got €150 at the ReWe once at the very beginning. After that, I never physically held a card like that in my hand again.

Awesome...tried Pragmaticplay again...free spins like never before...with 5 Lions Reborn alone 16 Super Free Spins....

a single free spin over x30....

Pragmatic play has something to hide, on Linkedin I politely wrote to two MAs that I find certain things suspicious and not normal. For example, I haven't had any free spins for two years when I spin normally, with Autospin or Quick Spin there are free spins. Or even, 15 super spins (each super free spin costs x500) and thousands of 0 win free spins..an underground RTP, extremely different from all other providers etc.. Streamers have proven to have a much too high RTP. I also play daily.

In short, was contacted by a lawyer afterwards.

So, whether there used to be more tinsel... I don't know. I used to lose more because I played higher bets, but the poor odds have made me cautious. What I didn't used to be is aggressive. Yes, it makes you angry when you spin for hours and nothing works. And yes, the dry spells are longer and after 3 months without a significant win you don't dare to Deposit any more. But there really are still some good casinos. I always have 1-2 that are still fun. If one doesn't work, I avoid it for 4 weeks and then play in the other one. I've never had any luck with Pragmatik play for years. Now in the Tournament I hit the 1000 multi at Sweet Bonanza 1000 and won €2000...the first time. I only ever deposit €30 or €50. I find the casinos with a German license frustrating, also because of the game selection and the lack of an auto function. If you have games from No Limit, for example, where you already have to run the slot 100-200 times, you'll go crazy with the pressing. All in all, control is everything.

They have nothing to hide.

You wrote to two employees. On the one hand, they are certainly not responsible for such requests and on the other hand, Linkedin is certainly not the place to make such requests. Linkedin is actually there to expand your professional network, but certainly not to send certain conspiracy theories to random employees.

They simply forwarded your request to their legal department. Maybe they were partly afraid?

Now ask yourself how you would react to such requests. I'm sure some would ignore the request completely, but depending on the content (and accusation), I can at least understand why they forwarded it to the legal department. Even if you were polite, it was inappropriate (I've already explained the reasons).

There used to be a vending machine near me where you could get your PSC at any time.

I think there are clear instructions in every company. At least that's the case for me.


If someone were to write to me now about my employer on Linkedin, and not the employer's page directly,
i would forward the message to my boss, who would take care of external communication.
It's not for nothing that there are jobs that do this from the company's point of view.

@ Bitcoin: How did you come to write to employees on LinkedIn? Did you simply search for "Pragmatic" on Linkedin and choose the next best person?
That sounds like a lot of frustration, Linkedin really isn't the right way. The employees there most likely have nothing to do with your free games.

Yes, so I can definitely confirm the statement from Slotliebe ☝️😂


I have seen three such machines in my life, once 20 meters from my former school, once in Aachen main station and once at a provincial station in Ingelheim (near Mainz)

I still wonder today whether the cheat with the knocked 20 cent coins would have worked with these machines ... 🤔🤔

Edit: About 10-15 years ago it was possible for a short time to buy pepper spray for 5 euros from a vending machine in the city center, without an age check of course, those were wild times back then 😂

That sounds like a lot of frustration, Linkedin really isn't the right way. The employees there most likely have nothing to do with your free games.

That's how I would do it myself (if I had Linkedin xD). That's right, PR (public relations) would get such requests these days. As you've already mentioned, this department is also responsible for statements, among other things.

I think it just depends on the request. If it's about jobs or work or projects, Linkedin is suitable for that. But if you just want to give your opinion about certain programming/logarithms, Linkedin (and especially any employees) is simply the wrong place. They were also the wrong people to talk to.

The request had no journalistic background either, but felt like a conspiracy theory that you get told in the pub. You still have to bear in mind that these people work for an employer that causes a lot of suffering/pain. It is therefore also normal that this employer has many haters. Due to recent events (I'll just say the USA and a CEO of United Healthcare), I would have been at least a little worried if someone had written to me with such nonsense on Linkedin. I certainly wouldn't classify him as normal (nothing personal against Bitcoin). It doesn't help that the message was written politely. Of course, I can only write for myself. Whether they were scared - I don't know, but they must have felt harassed.
