    Default Insanely mad. Opinions please?

    Ok so here's the story.

    Every now and again when im bored i play a little bit of ThinkBingo. Mainly as something to do. I usually use a multiline slot called 'x factor video slots'. Usually, i bet 10p's. Now when you get 3 x Blue Microphones in a row, you win £50.00.

    Well yesterday, i was chatting to my brother and i opened up the slots and decided to play. I rolled, and got the 3 x Microphones on my first roll. I was over the moon at winning £50.00 from 10p. I carried on rolling and he said to me 'Sam you do realise you're betting 2.00 each time yeah?' and i was like ah god and changed it back to 10p and carried on playing. Now something hit me this morning. When you bet 10p the reward for 3 x Microphones is 500x however much you bet. So when i bet 10p's i get 50.00.

    So if i bet £2.00, that should have been £1000. Yet i got 50.00. So i went to the transaction history and checked my logs. Sure enough it shows:

    Code:
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Wager - X factor Video slot	£-2.00	£9.39
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Win - X factor Video slot	£50.00	£59.39
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Wager - X factor Video slot	£-2.00	£57.39
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Wager - X factor Video slot	£-2.00	£55.39
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Wager - X factor Video slot	£-2.00	£53.39
    So surely this is an error in their system right?. I reported it to them and im waiting for a reply, but what do you guys think are the chances of me being reimbursed my £950 which i should have been paid on top of the £50 i received.

    This is a lot of money so as you can imagine im livid! I sent a screenshot to them showing the screen which showed the information above too.

    + Rep to helpful responses. Im practically having a heart attack :L

    Are you sure you didn't win on a ten p one, rather than a £2 one?

    By default when you open the slots its on 2.00. I didnt change it because i forgot. As you can see from the posted log, a 2.00 stake was taken.

    Code:
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Wager - X factor Video slot	£-2.00	£9.39
    May 31 2011 7:52PM	Instant Win - X factor Video slot	£50.00	£59.39

    There is no max win. My friends mom plays it and bets 20p each time and she won 1,000 twice in one night on this game (she's insanely lucky).

    Thanks Greencrayons. Its weird because i didnt even realise i was betting 2.00. I just opened up the game and by default the wager is set to 2.00. I started rolling, won the 50, then carried on betting 2.00 without realising. I only noticed because the 50 went to 40 insanely fast :L

    Nope it isnt. As Green posted above its x500. They also have a page which shows you what you win and 3 x Microphones is x500 wager.

    EDIT: @ Green - Its not that because i won a 25.00 later on in the evening when i was betting 10p's again. + I've barely won anything i know people who have won well over 1000 in a night from the slots.

    I guess it depends on how it gets logged. If there isn't anything that says 500x or whatever then it's just your word against theirs and I highly doubt they'd want to give you the 950 lol

    Surely by law they have to have logs of all transactions?
