Day 45 - Gopher Gold

A nice weekend is coming to an end. Great weather, family time and lots of laughs with good friends. It feels good to log in and see that the bank roll really is at €450. It wasn´t just a dream. Time for a video slot called Gopher Gold. First time playing this one.

This seems like a simple one in terms of betting options and wins. There are only 5 lines and 1 coin, and you simply set the stakes. I choose to play all 5 lines and set the lowest bet, which is €1,25. Hmmm, that is usually the highest stake in a video slot. I would have to consider this game to be perfect for high rollers, since the max bet is €25 per spin.

Regarding the wins, there are no free spins or extra features to enter. There is a wild of course and it replaces any symbols in a winning line, but apart from that you just chase as high win as possible on the reels.

I am dropping fast from €450 to €396. Winning frequently but not enough. In poker you say that you “tilt” when you get frustrated and lose it. I don´t know if the same wording apply in the casino world, but now I tilt. I decide to raise my bets to €5 per spin and set a lowest limit for my bank roll to €350. After a few minutes I hit rock bottom. I went from €396 to €351 without winning a single game. Tilt.

This is when it happens. I lower the stakes back to €1,25 to end at an even €350 and click spin. Believe it or not, I hit one of the big ones winning me €250! Single biggest win so far and the bank roll is now at record level €600. Wow!

I land after a few minutes, hardly believing what just happened. I also realize that if I had not lowered my bet I would have won €1000. Doh.

Nah, I should not complain. I´ll say it again. Almost 40 days of play, starting with €10 and now a bank roll of €600. Anyone have a story that beat that? Email mike@videoslots.com or comment on Facebook, and I´ll tell it here.

Responsible? Well, mostly lucky I would say after my tilt. Still a winner though.
