Well it was my birthday a few days ago – Saturday January 23rd to be exact. Now usually when it’s your birthday you get e-mailed special bonus offers from online casinos. Nothing usually too special, but better than their regular reload bonuses.

Slots Oasis Casino went a step further, as they gave me $20 free of charge in my account! Thank you Slots Oasis, and now your free birthday cash gains you an additional blog!
If you don’t remember my initial Slots Oasis Casino blog it was a BLAST – it went ten days, and I was all over the place with my balance. The highlight was when I was down to my last few bets then won a big $500 and change win, to move me back up above my starting balance. Click here to read: Slots Oasis Casino Blog.

I ultimately lost, but I did have a lot of fun, so let’s revisit Slots Oasis Casino as a thank you for the birthday bonus. If any other online casinos want to throw me some free cash, I’ll be sure to blog about it too!

Oh and if you have a birthday coming up - get registered at Slots Oasis Casino in case they want to give you some free cash!

We had $0.89 left from our original blog at Slots Oasis:

So our balance is $20.89. I decide to hit up a $5 MANO a MANO Blackjack Tournament. Oops actually no I won’t – I need real money to enter these, and I only have the $20 bonus money. Oh well.

I’ll go with the Bonkers slot machine. It’s a classic three reel slot. Here’s how it looks:

And we’ll bet $0.25 a credit, the max 3 coins so $0.75 per spin. Also for fun, every time I win anything – even if it’s just my money back, we’ll bump that up to $0.50 for the next 3 spins. Nothing like using a progressive betting system on a slot machine!

First spin is a win, as we get our money back by getting a Bonkers on the payline:

So as promised, up to $0.50 for the next 3 spins, or $1.50 total per spin. So I click spin, and then…..

“Progressive Casino balance error. This game cannot be played at this time. Please contact Customer Support.” Um, what? It did refund my money though and that spin didn’t take place – but yeah, time to talk to support!

To talk to support all you do is click live chat and a popup opens with a chat person to talk to. I get someone within seconds.

Lucy: Hi and welcome. How can I help you?

DansCasinoBlog: Hi Lucy. I was playing the Bonkers slot machine. On my 2nd spin it said: “Progressive Casino balance error. This game cannot be played at this time. Please contact Customer Support.”

Lucy: One moment please, I’m just checking your account.

DansCasinoBlog: Thanks

Lucy: Well, Graeme. I’m going to look like an idiot here I’m going to have to ask the manager to contact our technical guys to have a look at the game to see if there is a problem There is not local problem on your account.

Lucy: My manager is not in at the moment – she’s on a break – but will be back in 10~15 mins

Lucy: So I can only ask her to have a look then

DansCasinoBlog: Haha, no worries its no big deal. Plenty of other games to play. As long as its not an issue with my acct thats all that matters. Thank you very much

So there we go. Seems like some sort of server wide issue with the progressive jackpot or something.

I have to go pack anyway, as I’m actually heading to London, England in just a few hours. I come back and play and it all seems to work fine again. Alright we’re back. So $0.50 for next 3 spins, which is $1.50 per spin. First spin is a return of my $1.50. Second spin another return of $1.50. Then nothing the next spin.

Time to drop to $0.25 till we win again. my very next spin I get two bonkers symbols which actually unlocks free spins – and I end up winning 15 credits overall:

Time to go back to $0.50 for 3 spins and we get an instant return of 3 credits. And another return of 3 credits. Then nothing. Deja vu. Back to $0.25 where we hit another bonkers symbol, to allow us to move up to $0.50 again.

However you know what – I’m feeling lucky. Well, not really. But I do have to fly soon, so I better wrap this blog up haha. $20.14 left, let’s do $1 per credit, for $3 per spin of this Bonkers Slot Machine.

First spin is the bonkers symbol for a return of $3. Then the bonkers symbol again. And again. And again for 4 in a row. Then we hit a nice big win of $30:

I actually have no clue how much the wagering requriement is. I go off to check, and our playthrough requirement remaining is $1473. With $47.14 in the kitty, we’ll ride this Bonkers slot into the sunset. A few spins in, we get another 2 bonkers symbol for free slots spins woohoo. During that we hit a nice $30 win:

And overall we win $42 on that. Sweet deal, and our balance is at $77 now.

Nothing else to do but keep spinning, and hope we get those lucky red 7s for a $1200 payout. Oh boy wouldn’t that be nice. We’d finish up a winner FOR SURE if we hit that.

A few spins in we AGAIN hit two bonkers symbols for the free spins, and end up with $15 there.

We come agonizingly close to a $240 win here:

Then a few spins later we get free spins, where we get a total of $105 return, thanks in part to this:

Man, this is tough. Part of you thinks “I’ve ridden my luck on this slot, time to move on” while the other part thinks “It’s paying out, I should keep playing”. Of course both theories are complete crap – but hey it’s human nature!

I play and play for a while, we hit a high of $210 for awhile – and OH BOY was this one close:

And ultimately – I CLEAR THE BONUS. I clear the bonus, and get to withdraw. Oh man. I forgot what winning felt like haha – THIS is what it feels like, and it feels good. I end up with $68.14 off the original $20 – sweet deal, thank you Slots Oasis!

I have to say – the Bonkers Slot is great for clearing a bonus. You get a LOT of those bonkers symbols which return your initial bet – and every time you get one, you’ve wagered that amount. So yeah that was really sweet. I didn’t hit any big prize, but I just kept grinding and managed to clear the bonus.

So thank you Slots Oasis for the Birthday Bonus. Be sure to register and get your birthday bonus at Slots Oasis Casino.
