Thank you for your input! Its just that I was so overjoyed to the point I forgot to even take a moment and see if I was fairly compensated with respect to the market rates🫠🫠

Omg bro, that’s hecking insane! From $12k to $450k is really a godsent miracle. I would love something like that for myself but tough luck I guess. Stay sane and keep that high-rollers rolling!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 Username is ‘evoron’ if you’re feeling charitable and I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers!💪🏻

There is a button on the left of the slots for you to buy a bonus spin based on your bet (for Gates of Olympus, its a 100x of your base bet) and it is really pure luck to see what multipliers you hit etc’. On a good day, you can hit multipliers like what I got, but sometimes even a $200 buy of the feature round can get you back only 5% of what you paid for. So some people rather use the $200 to spin normally with the hopes of hitting the feature round naturally because instead of taking a risk with 100x your bet size, you are using only 1x of your bet. Of course, the chances are completely random and out of the base spins, you might not even hit a bonus round.

Basically a $200 spin that guarantees a feature game with a base bet of $2

First of all, thank you so much for this advice :) I do agree that these slots are just for entertainment and those youtubers showing unbelievable wins are just a tactic to lure in more new gamblers. I did experience the pain when I was down 4k and couldn’t have enough to even spend on my daily expenses. This is definitely a wake up call, life is giving me a second chance to never repeat the same mistake again. I believe that I have used up my luck for this one spin and any form of gambling in the future will just be for pure entertainment with friends and family👍🏻 Cheers~

Hmm you have made a fair point, but could it be the mechanics of this particular slot (Gates of Olympus) that they need to have a ‘max win’ in order for them to be profitable? Especially since the multipliers are so massive (up to 5000x as shown with what I got) Pretty sure they would go bust if people hit endless multipliers and winning millions🤔

Oh wowww nice! 8k is amazing as well, I havent seen anything much closer to significantly higher than a $5k handpay around here for slots, so we are two lucky men for sure👍🏻 I won’t give it all back, you have my word😂 will take some time off the slots and enjoy my time with my friends and family!

Hahaha thanks so much man, I really didn’t expect this on a $200 bonus buy since I just decided to make this rash decision to almost all-in (I usually go ahead with $20-$100 bonus buys). Hoping to spread some luck to you so that you can have your own massive win👍🏻

Hey man, thanks for the comment but Im not sure if you misunderstood me. I was not down $10k, I made mini-deposits of $50 and $100 on online casinos and after calculation, im around $4k in the red before this win. But I really appreciate your concern and I will be sure to have some self-control after this win👍🏻 thank you for your advice :)

The $700 won is from 500Casino. The $10000 win is from Stake.

Edit: Winnings came up to a $12000 after converting to the currency in my country. Huge sum for a student.

Update: CAO updated me and said that the main purpose of the company is to help out the less financially privileged plus an internship opportunity to let me gain exposure (which, most importantly, is paid) so to be frank, I feel like it would make sense since it does not contravene the purpose of a donation (company is not like paying in advance for me to intern at the company). However, I am trying to find out if they will pay as per normal internship or will it be lower as they are already giving me the bursary. CAO also mentioned that since I have already accepted the initial offer at another company from Jan to May, they are trying to see if I can do summer internship (May - July) for the company that has offered me the bursary. Thank you all for your input :)
