I play ddc every single day. I have been an active player for years and always enjoyed it, but now I am starting to get frustrated. I have noticed ever since IGT bought ddc, the wins have been less and less, and getting a bonus on a slot machine is a miracle. To top it off I also noticed when you increase your bet amount you start to win less!

What makes everything more frustrating is there's sadly nothing I can do. I could complain but that will get me nowhere. I feel like i'm at a real life casino playing these games and losing my money so quickly that it has become not so fun to play anymore.

Also I have found in tournaments you very rarely get a bonus, and when you're "on fire" you get no wins during your spins.

Anyone else feel the way I am feeling? Let me know!

Oh and Happy Holidays to all good luck!!

I agree. But you have to remember one thing. DDC doesn't exist for your enjoyment. They exist to make money, and make money they will. They know exactly how much to give and how much to take. And take they will.
I too have noticed if you bet minimum bet you will win constantly, but if you crank up the bet considerably, you can go through a lot of coins quickly. That is what they want, give you enough to come back, but take enough so you have to hit that buy coin icon.

I agree-I also play every day- I have been playing Santa's Cottage ( betting $100,000)-I am up to 152 gifts under the tree and still have not hit the open presents bonus in over 2 weeks! I guess I will lose all those after Christmas-like I did with the 4th of July firecrackers.

I always tell players NEVER to keep on playing a COLD slot since that is the easiest and fastest way to LOSE your chips.. Me personally, well I do not play them often since Poker & Bingo are my go to ddc games.. So when I do play the slots I only play them for FUN & I always set a certain amount I am willing to LOSE to the slots before I take my 1st spin(depending on what my bank balance looks like at the time.. So if I win great, but if I lose, I STOP when I hit the amount I set ahead of time in my head & move on... =)

It is not a cold slot (I never loose a lot before hitting something)-just will not hit the "Open Presents" bonus-when it first came out I would hit that bonus when I had between 4 and 30 "presents" under the tree. I did finally hit it after I posted the above-but by the time I did there were 182 presents! When you consider you only get a present under the tree every 5 to 10 spins that adds up to a lot of spins!

Decided to give Ol'Santa's Cottage a few spins myself & guess I got lucky since it didn't take long before I hit the "Presents Bonus" which was only up to 17 (but already had like 6 when I opened that slot)!!



Happy to hear you FINALLY hit as well and I'm sure that was a NICE chunk claiming 182 presents on the 1 Million bet line..

Sorry-I was not betting A Million- I was betting One Hundred Thousand....anyway the bonus was around $22 million-which just barley got back what I had into it before it hit. My only concern was loosing that bonus if I didn't hit it before they took the game down after the holidays-that hhad happened to me on another holiday special. I love DDC and enjoy the bonus points that are posted here-thank you for all you do.
