This game is a masterpiece. (long post)
I love this game so much. I have been paying for this game for 5-7 years and my opinion has never changed. Everything is just so good. I am not going to put a section about side quests because I cover a few side quests in a few sections. I will briefly cover the main parts of the base game. ( maybe I will make a post covering the amazing DLC) SPOILERS AHEAD. I apologize in advance for tangents, grammatical and spelling issues. TLDR at the bottom START/TUTORIAL The way NV starts is a pretty good. It teaches you about the aspects of the game in the small town of Goodsprings. In "Ghost Town Gunfight", the game teaches you about skill checks. To convince Chet to help you pass a barter check, to convince Easy Pete, you pass an explosive check, Trudy requires a speech check, and Doc Mitchell requires a medicine check if you choose to do "Run Goodsprings Run". It also teaches you about the reputation with the two quests I just mentioned. If you help the Powder Gangers, they will like you, at the cost of wiping out Goodsprings, and if you choose to help the town, the Powder Gang hates you, but Goodsprings likes you. MORALITY Morality is not black and white in NV for the most part. For example, in the quest "The White Wash", you are asked to investigate the case of NCR Corporal White, a soldier who went missing. You face a dilemma at the end when you find out that a Follower Of The Apocalypse is taking water from the NCR to give to the people of Westside who really need it. He tells you that he killed White to hide the secret about the water, and he feels bad about it. So you have to choose what you think is the best option, do you (A) tell the NCR that their water is being stolen so they can use it, or (B) do you keep the secret at the cost of some NCR working peoples livelihoods? There is no clear good or clear bad, it's all grey. Of course there are some obviously evil people in NV like the Fiends, especially Cook-Cook. But there is a lot, and I mean a LOT of grey. MINOR FACTIONS The minor factions are really great in NV. You obviously have the Brotherhood of Steel, the tech hoarders themselves. But there are also other small factions, like the Followers of The Apocalypse. They are a group of scientists and doctors whose purpose is to help people (I believe they debuted in the original Fallout. Can't remember if it was the first or second one.) You also have the Great Khans, a group of nomads who are modeled after the Mongolians. They raid, take chems, sell chems, and kill anyone who gets in their way. But as I said earlier, the morality is not black and white. The Khans hate the NCR because of the Bitter Springs Massacre, an incident in which the NCR slaughtered Khan women, elders, and children. There is also the Boomers. The Boomers are a group of former vault dwellers who stay at Nellis Airforce base and shoot at any outsiders. This is because they do not trust them, but you can help them to prove that outsiders are not as bad as they think. The last minor factions I will cover are the Families of the Strip. The Omertas are an old school mafia inspired group that run the Gomorrah casino. They have shady business that ranges from abusing the prostitutes to killing everyone in the Strip for Caesar's Legion. The White Gloves are a society of people who see themselves as above everyone else in class. They run the Ultra Luxe casino. But there are a handful in the society who want to bring back their old tribal tradition of cannibalism. The Chairmen run the Tops casino and they are the "coolest" family. They use old school slang and are the most laid back family. Companions The companions are great. Although I want to cover every single detail about every companion, I will limit myself to brief explanations on my 2 favorite companions (I love the other but do not have the time to cover them) and why I like them. I will cover Arcade Gannon first. I love Arcade so much as a character. He is a Follower of The Apocolypse and he has an interesting origin and great writing. He has an intense hatred for Caesar's Legion. You trigger his personal quest by siding with anyone but the Legion (and maybe House. I have never tried siding with House while Arcade was in my company). He pulls you aside at certain places and, depending on how you reply, makes him like, or dislike you more. When you reach max affinity, he pulls you aside and reveals his story. He was born in the Enclave and he wants you to reunite the remnants that he knows to fight against the Legion at Hoover Dam. You can tell Arcade to stay in Freeside as a doctor to help people in the aftermath of the battle or you can tell him to fight with the remnants. If you tell him to stay in Freeside, he will give you his fathers Enclave tesla armor. If you tell him to fight, he will wear the armor at the battle for the dam. You will be rewarded with power armor training and remnants power armor. This will affect (effect?) his fate in the ending slides. The other companion I will cover is Boone. He is former NCR First Recon sniper who participated in the Bitter Springs Massacre that I mentioned earlier. You meet him in Novac and he asks you to find the person who sold his wife into slavery. You can either find who did it or you can make him kill a random person of your choice. By doing things he like and asking him about his past, Boone will open up about the Massacre and you can take him to Bitter Springs. After killing Many Legion bois, you can tell Boone to let go of the past and he will finally move on, or you can tell him to become vengeful and more aggressive. This will affect(effect?) his fate in the ending slides. MAIN QUEST LINE SUMMARY To keep this very short, the main plot is to decide who should win the second battle for the Hoover Dam. Your choices are the NCR, Caesar's Legion, Mr. House, an independent Vegas with the help of Yes Man. THE NCR The New California Republic is a, well, a republic whose goal is to recreate the government of the old world, like the U.S government. It is a bureaucracy and has the positives and negatives of one. The characters in the NCR are diverse and very well written. Like how Colonel Hsu is a sensible and calm man who can resolve violent situations, as seen in the "Kings Gambit" quest where if you go to Hsu, he offers Freeside extra food and water to stop the violence. But in the same quest, you can tell Colonel Moore about the Freeside situation. Moore is a no nonsense lady who will not hesitate to fight violence with violence, which is what happens if you tell her about the Freeside situation. She sends a squad of soldiers and you to the Kings school to give the King an ultimatum. In conclusion, the NCR is an army that wishes to use the governing methods of old world America. But they also have the flaws of that system, like corruption. CAESAR'S LEGION Caesar's Legion is more than a faux Roman Empire. Caesar is a man who is educated on the old world, on old world government and was even an NCR citizen and Follower of The Apocolypse. Caesar thinks that the best way to lead is through dictator control. He tells you this when you ask him about President Aaron Kimball. He says that democracy slows down progress. He actually has an amount of respect for Kimball. The Legion is made up of 86 tribes that Caesar has conquered. These tribals are stripped of their identity and are indoctrinated into essentially worshipping Caesar as a living deity, as Arcade Gannon said. The legion does not believe in modern medicine. They only use "natural" sources of healing like powder. Which is not great when (plot twist) you find out about Caesar's brain tumor. Lets talk about how women are used in the Legion. Woman are used as slaves and mates for the men. When tribes are conquered, the women are forced into slavery, while the boys and young men are made into Legion soldiers. The Legion see's women as less than men. The men are trained to fear their leaders rather than their enemies, because if they fail, they are killed, like what Caesar attempted to do to Joshua Graham when the Legion lost the First Battle for Hoover Dam. The Legate Lanius, who probably has the best voice in the game, is a figure of fear. He kills anyone that gets in his way and has been a full member of the Legion since he was a child. Caesar says that Lanius has no care for the men of the legion. In conclusion, the Legion is a slaver group that is led by an educated warlord who has interesting philosophies. MR. HOUSE Robert Edwin House is the founder of RobCo, the company responsible for many of creations in Fallout including the Pip Boy. He predicted the Great War and prepared to survive it, through weird means. The platinum Chip was running late for delivery while the Great War started, so House did not get it. House is very interesting. He is very smart, yet makes very risky gambles, like trusting you (a stranger) in not destroying his secret army of robots. He single handedly saved Vegas from the war and built it up again. He wants you to help him fulfill his wishes for the future. He thinks he deserves the Dam because of what he can do for Vegas. His plan is to remove the Legion and lower the influence of the NCR in the Mojave so that he can bring back the glory of pre war Las Vegas. As another redditor said on the fallout subreddit, House seems to be the only one with long term plans for the future, whether they are good or bad is your opinion. In conclusion, Mr. House is an ambitious man with ambitious plans for Vegas and the Mojave. He is very confident in himself and his ability to predict the outcome of situations. YES MAN/ INDEPENDANCE This is going to be the shortest description. Benny had help reprogramming a securitron to help with anything, most notably taking over Vegas. You choose what factions you like and which ones you do not like and you kick both the Legion and the NCR out of the Mojave wasteland to establish independence. FREEDOM AND DETAIL This game is a game where you have complete freedom. You don't like Caesar, go ahead and kill him. There's no quest to do it, but you can still do it. You can kill anyone you want and you can make many decisions that impact the world. If you allow the NCR train to blow up, or if you do it yourself with the Legion, people will talk about it. I made a post showing Legate Lanius's reaction to you confronting him while wearing Legion faction armor. Obsidian has done such an amazing job putting so much detail in this game. Another example of detail is wiping out Camp Forlorn Hope. The NCR will talk about that if you do it then talk to the troopers. There are more examples of this that you will see during your own gameplay. THE WORLD The games world is so good. The world is great, especially from a 2010 game. The locations are great. The unmarked spots like the Sarsaparilla sign where the Lonesome Drifter is are pretty cool. The spot where you find a dead person with remnants power armor is a pleasant surprise if you just find while exploring. I also feel very immersed in the world when I'm just walking around and see a legion patrolling or NCR patrolling.

After Intro: The season begins with the eighteen contestants inside the patented Hell’s Kitchen bus making the trip to Las Vegas. Robby especially is excited to show Chef Ramsay his stuff while Eleanor is just hoping that her local babysitter is keeping a good eye on her children. During the ride, Vince begins to chirp a bit about how he’s ready to mop the competition, only for Sidney to say that she’ll make sure to dump the water on him. Vince and Sidney both consider themselves passionate people and know that Chef Ramsay will see it. Upon arriving, the contestants see that the inside of the restaurant has been decorated to the gills in celebration of the show’s twentieth season. Inez and Trina marvel in all its beauty, but Vince notices eighteen chefs inside the kitchen and wonders how many people he needs to stab in order to get the position. Marino welcomes them to Hell’s Kitchen and gets them seated, saying that Chef Ramsay will arrive shortly. As time passes, Courtney notices all the former winners of Hell’s Kitchen and quietly asks Trent who they are, admitting to having never watched the show before being given their meal. Unsurprisingly, everyone enjoys it. Barney especially discusses how amazing the flavors are. Eventually, Chef Ramsay comes up in front of the kitchen to make an announcement. He thanks everyone for attending the grand reopening of Hell’s Kitchen, the twentieth in history. He begins to discuss this year’s prize. A $250,000 contract to work as an executive chef in Hell’s Kitchen at Lake Tahoe. Trina expresses excitement, wanting to be known as Trina, the girl who won Hell’s Kitchen. Chef Ramsay then acknowledges the former winners that were able to attend (Rock, both Christinas, Nona, Paul, Scott, LaTasha, Michelle, Ariel) and makes one more announcement. The people competing this year are in this very same restaurant and shines a spotlight on the contestants table. Shocked at being mentioned, Evan asks to himself if he can go to the bathroom first. No such luck as Chef Ramsay welcomes them into Hell’s Kitchen Season 20. Signature Dish Challenge: After the grand reopening, Chef Ramsay takes some time to hear what everyone is doing for a signature dish. Barney immediately brings up the idea of barbecue chicken wings, claiming it to be part of his Southern heritage. Inez hopes to make a Cuban styled dish called Ropa Viera. Meanwhile J.P is having trouble trying to figure something out. It is there Ramsay reveals a twist. As this is the 20th season, he’s putting this crop of contestants on a higher level than any other before them, revealing a slot machine. Two contestants will face off and spin the machine. Whatever three ingredients they get will be what they will use for their dish. Barney and Lulu go first, Lulu admits that she’s terrible at gambling while Barney hopes he doesn’t get anything fish-related. The two receive Halibut, Green Beans and Pasta. Immediately Barney curses his bad luck, saying he’s terrible at fish. Alberto and Inez go up second, receiving Pork, white rice and brussel sprouts. Inez begins to picture her dish in her mind, putting all the ingredients together. Vince and Katherine are third, garnering Scallops, apple, and potatoes. Vince already knows that he can defeat Katherine with this combination. Next up, Robby and Rita roll for Filet, asparagus, and coleslaw. Being from Texas, Rita expresses full confidence that she can nail this dish. For the fifth pair, Oscar and Trina obtain Chicken, spinach, and yams. Having had no experience with chicken, Oscar just prays that he can get it right. Up sixth, Evan and Sidney roll for New York Strip, cauliflower, and brown rice. Sidney confesses that she didn’t even know there were other types of rice, but rolls with it. J.P and Eleanor roll next, garnering Salmon, eggplant, and quinoa. Eleanor has no idea how to pronounce the final ingredient but is happy regardless. The penultimate pairing of Harold and Courtney go up, garnering a Rack of Lamb, lettuce, and couscous. Courtney finds humor in pronouncing the word 'couscous'. Finally, Trent and Gina go up. Both competitors detail their experiences before spinning the slot machine. They receive Duck, zucchini, and jasmine rice. As the cooking portion of the challenge begins, Alberto expresses his intent to make his family proud. Growing up in Puerto Rico, he should know how to cook a perfectly good pork chop. Trina proclaims how excited she is to cook for Chef Ramsay and hopes to do her best for her. Outside of her confessional, Tina drops a pot onto the floor, sheepishly looking around in embarrassment. Fifteen minutes pass and most of the contestants are hard at work with their signature dishes. Gina especially is going into overtime, trying her best to figure out what goes best with her dish. The art of a perfect signature dish is carefully crafted so you have to be precise with everything. It's not a race. Halfway through the cooking portion, Barney looks over all the ingredients for his signature dish and realizes that he forgot the pasta. Having never cooked in any place like this before, Barney knows he has his work cut out for him. Harold stands by with his dish, looking over his other competitors. He finds them unable to match his expertise and twenty years of experience and expresses confidence that he will prevail. The thirty minutes pass by and the eighteen chefs stand in their respective groups (men blue, women red) while Chef Ramsay explains the grading system. Once finished, he begins with the battle of the New York Strip. Evan goes first, winning praise for his 'beautifully cooked' strip and scoring a 4. Ramsay then looks at Sidney's attire, asking if she missed the high school reunion. Sidney knows that people underestimate her because of how she looks but she's never been afraid of a challenge and isn't planning to start today. Her strip is cooked perfectly as well, but less than stellar presentation limits her to only three, knotting the score at four to three. The battle of the porkchop is the second round as Alberto and Inez step up. This time Inez is the one that goes first. As Ramsay observes her dish, she talks about her nervousness watching Ramsey's facial expressions. To her relief, her chop is cooked perfectly, giving her a very strong 4. Alberto comes next, bringing up his Puerto Rican heritage again and claiming to have 'got this'. Sure enough, Ramsay declares his dish to be 'absolutely stunning' and awards him the honor of being the first 5 of the day, putting the men firmly in the lead at nine to seven. Harold and Courtney are next, embarking on the battle of the lamb. As Ramsay tastes Harold's dish, he brings up his twenty years of experience. It impresses Ramsay...but the dish does not. The presentation is nice but the Lamb is overcooked to hell, forcing him to settle with a 2. Courtney's dish comes next as Ramsay asks what people back home describe her as. Flushing red with embarrassment, she says they call her 'hot'. As Ramsay tries her dish, Courtney talks about how everyone sees her as the 'hot chick' and how it's been a part of her life. She hopes it won't be used against her. To her relief, the lamb is cooked properly, her inability to fit the lettuce in without it seeming awkward however leaves her with a 3. The men continue to cling to a one-point lead. Round 4 features Barney and Lulu in the battle of the halibut. Lulu goes first, receiving critique for her raw green beans and bland pasta and scoring only a 2 much to her embarrassment. Barney goes next, presenting his halibut dish. Surprisingly, it looks relatively promising. Ramsay asks Barney how he cooked the pasta, only for him to ask if that was what they had to do. Embarrassed, he discovers that his fish is raw and receives the dreaded 1 out of 5, putting the red team in the lead and making Lulu feel a little better about herself. Trent and Gina hope to get the groove back for both teams in the battle of the duck. Sure enough, both receive praise for their efforts. Only one garners a five however, the honor going to Gina for creating a dish that belongs in a three Michelin star restaurant. Trent does receive a 4 however, keeping things close. Next, the battle of the chicken starts with Ramsay asking what Oscar is wearing. He calls it his 'Sunday' wear and explains that people call him 'fly for a white guy'. To him, however, this is how he expresses his confidence. Despite earlier concerns, the duck is cooked well. The rest of the dish however is a mess, scoring him a 3. It is better than Trina's debacle, one so bad that Ramsay spits it out upon trying it. To no one's surprise, it's a 1. This puts the men back out in front at 19-18. Robby and Rita go next in the battle of the filet where Ramsay compliments Robby's shades. Robby sees himself as a laid-back person and tries his best to let mistakes roll off of him. Ramsay struggles to find fault with the dish, praising his usage of coleslaw and awarding him a strong 4. Rita also performs well, scoring a very strong 3. The men still lead 22-21. The penultimate round sees J.P and Eleanor pitted against each other in the battle of salmon. After J.P mentions his name, Ramsay brings up former Maître D Jean-Phillipe. J.P doesn't know who he is but plays along for the heck of it. Unfortunately for him, the clunky usage of his ingredients and raw salmon scores him only a 2. Eleanor fares no better with her dish being a 'future horror villain in the making'. She becomes the third 1 of the day, leaving the score 24-22. At last, the main event arrives. The battle of the scallops. Katherine goes first, revealing her age and being an executive chef. This gives Ramsay shivers and reminds her about a chef who was similar to hers who didn't pan out. Despite her youth, Katherine has already won the praises of multiple chefs for her work-ethic and expresses confidence that she can win. Vince goes up to present his dish and reveals that he's been a chef for fifteen years, ready to finally make his mark in the industry and years of being in food trucks and small business. Vince and Katherine return to their teams, leaving Ramsay to decide a winner. Vince scores a 3, his scallops being just a touch over. Katherine however becomes the third 5 of the day, her dish being praised for absolutely nailing everything. With a tie, Ramsay brings back the top four best dishes and discusses them with sous chefs Christina and Jay. In the end, they agree that Katherine had the best dish, clinching the challenge for the red team. Ramsay goes even further, considering it the best signature dish he's tried in the twenty season lifespan of Hell's Kitchen. As a reward for their efforts, the red team will be spending the day at one of Las Vegas's finest restaurants. Top of the World at the 106th floor of the Stratospheric Tower. A reward so intriguing, even Ramsay wants to come along. While the red team dines, the blue team will be cleaning up both kitchens in preparation for service. Ramsay warns them that both are quite messy. Reward: Upon entering the dorms, Vince makes it clear that Barney, J.P, and Harold were the ones that cost them the challenge and lectures them about setting the standard. J.P immediately shuts Vince up by mentioning how he had the chance to win the challenge and failed to do so. In confessionals, Vince brushes it off as J.P being 'ignorant' and predicts that he'll be exposed in due time. The red team arrives at the Stratosphere, reaching the 106th floor with great intrigue. The group is astounded to find the restaurant at the floor, Gordon Ramsay preceding. He welcomes them inside and everyone sits down. Katherine expresses how much of an honor it is to be dining with her idol and excitedly begins to ask him many questions. Rita makes fun of how much of a suck-up Katherine comes off as but Eleanor feels that she's earned the right seeing as she won the challenge for the team. Later on, the red team reaches the top of the stratosphere, getting a bird's eye view of Las Vegas while drinking champagne. Being an adrenaline junky, Lulu expresses her love of heights. Gina looks around, commending her team for such a strong start and reminding them to keep the momentum strong throughout the season. Punishment: Sous chef Jay leads the blue team inside the blue kitchen and reminds them that Ramsay wants both kitchens to be spotless. Alberto takes charge, letting four work in the red team (the three low-scorers and Oscar) while the rest work in the blue kitchen. Oscar expresses frustration with how Vince practically blew it and yet he still gets to be with 'the cool kids'. As the team scrubs away, Harold tries to lead his group, claiming to be the person they need to rally behind. Still infuriated, Oscar back mouths him. Seeing the tense look on Oscar’s face, Barney offers to let him help out with his station. He hopes not to get into any further hot water as he already made a bad first impression with his signature dish. Later that evening, the red team returns from their reward and make their way to the dorms. Rita and Gina stay behind however to discuss the challenge. Rita mentions how Eleanor and Trina almost blew it for them. Gina isn't worried, she knows the two of them are the first ones gone should they ever struggle during a service. Inside the blue team's dorm, the contestants deal with an issue of their own. Harold. JP and Oscar quietly discuss his arrogant behavior and agree to target him if they lose service. Meanwhile, Harold begins to talk to Barney about how combative and 'disrespectful' Vince is. Barney doesn't deny it but says that they should stay on his good side for now. He could be an asset to the team. Pre Individual Challenge: The next morning, sous chefs Christina and Jay wake up the teams and follow them to the kitchen where Chef Ramsay is busy giving a press conference. Seeing all the lights and cameras, Trent wonders if they're famous by association. Evan looks at the crowd of people, fearing that his mom may be among the crowd. Rita however doesn't care. Whatever happens, she's ready for it.
S11E1 Recap: Aliens, Pregnancies, and Another Gender Reveal
Gather up, friends, it’s time for the recap of the season 11 premiere of Counting On. This episode is titled La La Land, which is pretty cruel considering the description of the episode contains the plotline: “In Arkansas, Joy and Austin grieve the loss of their baby girl.” I guess the theory that Joystin nope’d out of this season of filming because they didn’t want their stillbirth being a TV show plotline no longer stands. Ok I know i shouldn’t snark on them too much because they suffered a real loss but holy crap Austin’s facial hair is godawful, and we’re just in the preview of the episode to come. The first shot of the entire episode is “Duggar Home”(TTH) and Michelle starts talking. So in other words a giant “fuck you” to anyone who thought this show was going to focus on the grown up children instead of Michelle and JB. Jinger explains that Jeremy got admitted to Masters Seminary in LA but that before they were going to leave they found out that Grandma Duggar had passed away. *flashback of Grandma Mary’s funeral* As we watched JinJer say goodbye to the family, Jeremy does this dumb head grab move to Josie which i think is supposed to replicate those metal scalp massager things but I have no idea why he thinks that’s the appropriate thing to do to a 10 year old. Maybe a 3 year old? But it’s condescending and weird as hell. Jinger says she always thought it would be cool to “marry someone in a big city” which reveals that she always knew the only way she could move to a big city like she wanted was through marriage. JinJer and Prop get in the car and Jeremy says “Off we go, Noodle!” and I’m still not sure if he was talking to Prop or Jinger since while he turned around to look in the back where Prop is, he was also pulling out of his parking spot and may have just been looking where he was driving. Ok, I think he was talking to Prop because then he mumbles “She’s ready.” Ready for what? How could this infant possibly be “ready” for anything? It’s not like he’s teaching “Noodle” how to pass her written permit test or something. Noodle just has to be carried around from location to location in her new life in LA. We get a shot of a map indicating the key spots that JinJer will be hitting on their trek to LA and there’s just so much to unpack here. First off, why is Armarillo represented by an armadillo? Do the TLC producers think “armarillo” is armadillo in Spanish? Also, are they seriously going to be checking out aliens in NM? Are Duggars allowed to believe in aliens? I think their hero, Ken Ham of the creation museum, said aliens can’t go to heaven so we shouldn’t bother looking for them. And then Vegas is represented by dice as if the Duggars were actually going to gamble or do anything fun in Vegas. Jinjer says they’re nervous about Felicity on the drive because she loves to move and doesn’t want to sit still, which is depressing when you consider what her life becomes in LA. Jinger tells Jeremy she’s “so glad we’re taking the interstate” and tells the story of when they took backroads on a roadtrip once and saved 30 minutes gross but not net(my words, not hers. I don’t think Jinger knows what net or gross means) because they had to keep pulling over to let the kids throw up on the side of the road since they were motion sick. Flashback to when they first get the RV, the kids are lined up outside, and Jim Bob says “rule number 1” and all the kids say “obey all rules.” Is this fight club?? Apparently one time they drove and got to their location and Josiah’s shoes were missing. There is no resolution or conclusion or explanation to that story. They just kind of leave it there. Meanwhile, at Jessa and Ben’s place they’re making some sort of baked good. Henry is apparently getting better at speaking and making words. Spurgeon is getting better at helping. And Ivy is the happiest, chillest baby, and definitely the favorite child. Ben mentions after breakfast that he needs to trim his beard. Jessa asks if he means trim or shave it off all the way. We get backstory on Ben’s beard. This truly is the most interesting thing they could show us about the Seewalds’ lives. They’re gonna shave Ben’s beard and see if the kids recognize him. They call it an “experiment” which really reveals a lot about what these people consider to be science. Ben says for a few days he wanted to go with a “hipster”(his words) mustache. Jessa says she thinks it’s very cute. Ben puts on a weird outfit, sneaks around the back of the house, and knocks on the door at the front and shows up with an accent pretending to be someone else. He asks Henry and Spurgeon to go get daddy but they can’t find him. Ben then shows them a video of him shaving and reveals that it’s been daddy the whole time. Henry laughs and it’s actually very cute. JinJer is in Roswell and they explain that supposedly there were aliens there in the 40s but that the government covered it up and they’re there to “figure out the truth.” It’s just a little strange to me that they think it’s fun and quirky to investigate a conspiracy cover-up knowing everything that went on in Jinger’s home growing up. Jinger looks at the aliens in the exhibit and just says “strange” which honestly must be how it feels if you never grew up with even cartoon aliens as a piece of cultural knowledge. Felicity laughs and seems to enjoy the aliens and Jeremy has a good time while Jinger takes a photo of them while awkwardly laughing and it’s very reminiscent of the time Jeremy was dancing with Prop and Jinger was awkwardly fixing her hair. The producers ask everyone in their talking heads if they believe there are aliens on there. Johannah and Jennifer both look absolutely befuddled. Johannah says, “What? Is that seriously a question?” Jessa says sarcastically “Oh totally” and then “No.” Ben says “I think there are flying things that are unidentified, but do I think there are little green men in them from mars? Not exactly.” Jim Bob says “We’re not into believing in aliens but we do believe there is a whole spirit world that we can’t see.” John David says “I don’t think there are UFOs and if there were, why would they only be in New Mexico?” Abbie says “I feel like an alien sometimes.” Cut to JoKendra’s home where Kendra explains “Today we are prepping for baby #2.” Kendra says she’s 30 weeks along and they’re choosing today to set up Garret’s new car seat and the double stroller. JoKendra struggles to put together the double stroller and I just feel terrible watching them try to figure it out because it feels like an episode of Teen Mom. After reading the instructions they realize that the car seat they haven’t isn’t compatible with that stroller. Thus ends the JoKendra check-in for this episode. Now we hear about the JoyStin Annabell story and I don’t have snark for it. They went in for a 20 week ultrasound and couldn’t detect a heartbeat. They go to Fort Rock, the camp that Austin’s family owns, to place a headstone and plant an oak sapling where they had buried her. OH GOD here we go we cut to SiRen and Lauren starts talking about how much Jessa supported her when she lost Asa and that Lauren’s trying to do the same for Joy. Michelle says when they were at the hospital Austin mentioned to her to make sure that everyone else doesn’t feel like they need to tip toe around them and that they can freely be excited and happy for their own babies, and I kind of think that’s pretty mature of Austin. JinJer arrives in Vegas, with Jinger donning a pretty revealing sleeveless dress. Jeremy says he’s never been to vegas, while Jinger says she’s been before. Jim Bob explains that when they went to Vegas they didn’t go to the strip but to the Hoover Dam. When asked what they think of when they hear Vegas, Joy says “gambling” and Austin says “roulette, craps” and I literally gasp because I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Duggar say “crap” ??/ The producers ask, “Have you heard of Elvis?” SiRen says “Yes.” James and Justin say “I think he was gone before we were born”(as if that’s the reason they don’t know certain pop culture figures). The producers ask for their best Elvis impression. Michelle says “I know he jiggled his knees back and forth” and Jim Bob says “He jiggled a lot of things” and they bust up laughing. JD does a weird ass impression and Abbie loves it. Joe does his own impression and Kendra says “I’m sure you did great, babe. I don’t know who Elvis is.” Jeremy says he’s going to do the sky jump in Vegas which is just like a bungee jump. Jeremy says he hasn’t done anything this intense but that he generally enjoys “the heights.” There’s a “celebrity skyjumpers” list on the wall and I wonder if Jeremy think he’s gonna make that list because he married a Duggar. Jeremy while getting set up keeps saying stuff like “poor decision making” and “I’m an idiot” and I feel so bad for the employees there who have to put up with a customer who keeps shitting on the service while simultaneously consenting to partake in it. Jeremy jumps, makes it, and literally kisses the ground when he lands. Back at TTH, it’s time for a jinder reveal. Abbie is 16 weeks along and they’re having a jinder reveal party. Abbie says “Flight is kind of our signature thing” and that they wanna bring the baby into the aviation theme. I guess they have pink and blue boarding passes each with a flight number on them. Jeremiah will fly the plane over three times and it will reveal “two numbers” each time and I guess the what the final 6 digit code he reveals will correspond to the ticket with the color of the gender? But he also says the boarding passes will have 4 digit numbers on them? I can’t believe I’m saying this but I think the Duggars have come up with a game that is on a level of intricacy I cannot understand. Jeremiah says, “I feel kind of honored that John David asked me to fly the plane for the gender reveal.” What an odd sentence. Josiah says, “I could see John David with a little boy, but I can also see him with a little girl.” Ok. Jeremiah flies by, and the cameras I guess don’t pick up what number it is because the producers have to throw in an animated plane with the number on it. Like thanks i guess, but it’s not like those of us watching have a corresponding boarding pass and are gonna get excited when we see two random digits. Jeremiah comes back around and JD says they’re looking for a number on the side of the plane this time. I don’t know how the 7 got placed there or where the other numbers were for the first pass? The logistics of this are confusing. Jeremiah flies by again, it’s a 3 and therefore it’s a girl because it matches Abbie’s sister's pink boarding pass. I still don’t understand why JD says he was going to fly by 6 times. I also don’t know where or how the last digit got placed on the plane. JinJer arrive in LA in their insanely nice house for LA, fully furnished. Later this season on Counting On we find out that Joystin are expecting again, we see some gender reveal involving a helicopter and pink confetti(spoiler alert), Jana gets roped into dumb dress up, the Duggars have an ugly sweater Christmas party, and JIM BOB PLAYS A DONKEY IN A CHRISTMAS PAGEANT?? Anyway, tune in next week for another snarker’s recap! Thank you to the mods for bestowing on me the honor of kicking off this season of snark. ETA - Thank you for the awards, kind humans!
Genocide, Crime, and Subterfuge in the 20th Century - Common Setting Discussions
A common trait Assassin’s Creed groups have is the constant theorizing about future settings, because historical tourism is one of the best parts of the series. This series of posts will act as a counter to my Mildly Obscure setting discussions, but rather than looking at a single point, I will be taking a broad setting that is popular and looking at several potential settings to explore within it. Today’s setting is the 20th century. References and spoilers for recent comics including Bloodstone are below. World Wars I want to start with the obvious setting of World War 1 and 2. Both could contain interesting lore for sure, but I don’t feel either would fit AC very well for a full title. Both wars took place all around Europe, Asia, and Africa, meaning we’d likely only experience a single theatre (Europe most likely), which has first of all been done a lot by other games like Call of Duty; and second of all the two big cities of Paris and London were shown just before the 20th century (and both games featured part of the 20th century). World War 1 is honestly inaccessible for the most part due to trench warfare. I don’t deny sneaking through the trenches to assassinate a German Templar leading the other side could be fun, but I think the best way to handle the game would be to just focus on a single city like Berlin. If we see Berlin, it’d obviously be during World War 2, and Nazi Architecture would be incredible to parkour on, but the city was almost completely destroyed by the Russians, and the brutality of both wars is on a scale that I don’t feel Ubisoft can truly represent. That’s also ignoring the bigger elephant of the holocaust, in which the Nazi party had ghettoized millions of Jews, transported them out of the country, and put them in death camps with all other undesirables including Slavs, gypsies, and gays. On the low end they killed 6 million people, and on the high end may have killed up to 17 million. Making a game in World War 2 Berlin cannot ignore this, but I honestly would fear seeing a modern open-world AC game in Germany and the lack of respect or tact for the holocaust. Like I’d half expect that we’re Kilroy, and all the concentration camps are PoI for us to clear and free the prisoners from. This setting should just be left to the expanded universe and the few rifts we already have had. Russian Revolution In the Russian Empire, Templars had been attempting to use the royal family for years. Notably, Rasputin was a Templar agent who stole a staff of Eden from Tsar Nicholas II which was mostly destroyed in the Tunguska Event at the hands of Nikolai Orlev and his accomplices. A single shard remained which Rasputin held onto, likely allowing him to survive several more assassination attempts until 1916 when he was finally killed by Felix Yusupov. In March of 1917 amidst the revolution calling for the Tsar to abdicate, Nikolai Orlev was searching for the staff, breaking into the Tsar’s home in Petrograd, confronting the Tsar, and leaving after breaking the staff despite a request from Vladimir Lenin to assassinate him. Nikolai eventually found Rasputin’s grave and the staff shard still on his body. Tsar Nicholas would abdicate a few days later. Despite Lenin’s affiliations to the Assassins, Templars infiltrated his ranks and in November of 1917, he began the October Revolution with the intention of ending the provisional government and creating the Congress of Soviets for the Bolshevik Party. The armed insurrection began in Petrograd which split the assassins, and further split them as Templars executed Tsar Nicholas and his entire family save for Anastasia who was rescued by Nikolai Orlev who then fled to America. This was a major point that began the armed conflict between the Red Army of the Bolsheviks and the White Army of Supporters for the Russian Empire known as the Russian Civil War. During this, it appears the Assassins largely collapsed under the weight of the Templars that controlled both the Red and White army. In 1924, after Vladimir Lenin died of a sickness, Joseph Stalin rose to become the first Premier of the newly formed Soviet Union which during the course of the war conquered central Asia and Siberia. Personally, I’d rather see Imperial Russia like Ivan the Terrible, Peter the Great, or Catherine the Great, or Napoleon’s Invasion with a focus on Moscow(1)(7).jpg) and Petrograd (St Petersburg). Prohibition US Personally, this is my favored setting for an AC game in the 20th century. Women gained the right to vote in 1920 just after the prohibition of alcohol due to pressure from Feminist and Christian groups sparking the creation of Organized Crime throughout major cities and rumrunners smuggling alcohol. By 1925 New York City had over 10,000 speakeasies to illegal buy alcohol. The Creation of the mafias led to the US federal government responding with a 3000 man task force and later creation of the FBI. In this, we have the rise of notorious gangsters like Al Capone who orchestrated the St Valentine’s Day Massacre, Dutch Schultz, and Chester La Mare in Chicago, New York, and Detroit respectively. Las Vegas was just getting off its feet due to new laws relaxing the restrictions on Gambling creating new Crime bosses there. The Ohio Gang in Congress was at the heart of corruption in the Harding administration. The Pinkerton Detective Agency also continued and expanded to other countries in this time, being sent to investigate union disputes, during which Gangsters began taking control of unions for their racketeering schemes. I can’t deny that it’d be fun to be able to explore the Boroughs of New York/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/63839281/GettyImages_3089399.0.jpg), Chicago, Detroit, and Vegas at the heart of prohibition (though we’d need the rope launcher again), and maybe take contracts for the crime lords, or fight against them maybe as a detective part of the Pinkertons. It’d certainly be interesting to assassinate the most notorious crime lords in American history. It would likely take more of a 3rd person shooter vibe with Tommy Guns, Shotguns, Rifles, and pistols, but I can see cane swords and Hidden Blades being useful for combat too. I feel this game would be Syndicate-Esque with maybe Film-Noir vibes, and the occasional car chase. This setting was really popularized due to the “Jazz Age Junkies” in Unity in which a character in this setting was also in contact with Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Stein (famous American Writers). The Summer of Love In 1967 over 100,000 people entered the city of San Francisco to smoke pot, do psychedelic drugs, promote free love, and music as a form of protest against the Vietnam War and consumerism. I admit the era is fantastic in terms of lore potential. In 1963 JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald a Templar sleeper agent, during which JFK's driver was under the influence of a PoE which also caused the illusion of a man on the hill creating the multiple shooter conspiracy theory. The Space Race was really a contest between Assassins and Templars to get to the apple on the moon first, as Assassins largely backed US presidents (Save for a few who were tied to Templars like FDR and Truman), while the USSR was largely controlled by Templars. The CIA began experimenting massively in attempts to defeat Russia, including looking at the effects of a LSD sex house in San Francisco during the Summer of Love, and even used LSD to attempt to facilitate psychic powers including the ability to kill someone by staring at them, which was tested on Goats in the Stargate Project which attempted to “Unlock the human potential for military applications”. At this time during the cold war, conspiracies and alien sightings were pretty common leading to sightings of bigfoot and Mothman for example, the latter of which allegedly caused Men in Black to harass locals in West Virginia. Perhaps a lore explanation of these phenomena and mass hysteria was Templar or Assassin experimentation with PoE and psychedelics which they would then make disappear with the alleged Men in Black. The US did experiment with the potential for weather changing technology and biological warfare via dropping bacteria and chemicals from high altitude, which gave way to conspiracies about chemtrails. While chemtrails as the modern conspiracy isn't true, the US experimented A LOT with honestly really fucked up things like incendiary bats which destroyed a military base in New Mexico; or in 1967 they scrapped the Acoustic Kitty Project where the US government implanted listening devices in cats and tried to train them to follow people and listen to conversations. Spoiler Alert, the cats refused to be trained. Though this could be an interesting skill in an AC game in this era. It wasn’t just animals that were experimented on, as there were unethical human experimentations done on soldiers, criminally insane, and orphaned children across the US including testing radiation effects, injecting diseases, poor health standards, drug treatments, and of course rumors with no actual reports on attempts to create child soldiers. While this is thus far an unproven conspiracy theory, FOIA requests of FBI reports do show a potential CIA Human/ Sex Trafficking ring called the Finders from the late 80s and early 90s operating throughout the US which many conspiracy theorists were quick to point similarities to conspiracies about the current Government’s and Elites’ relation to pedophile rings including one at least partially operated by Jeffrey Epstein. Pair this with other real projects including MKUltra, Artichoke, and Bluebird which attempted to brainwash - sometimes with drugs and drug addiction to morphine - people to attempt assassinations and act as sleeper cells. This era in the 60s and 70s was the birth of Abstergo and the Animus program which Vidic began testing on subjects in 1980. In 2000 Abstergo’s creation of a Sleeper Cell ala Daniel Cross, succeeded by having him assassinate the mentor and starting the Great Purge. Sleeper cells, spies, espionage, and subterfuge are nothing new in media and video games. Even the most recent Call of Duty game has been marketed with Yuri Bezmenov’s speeches on Russian Subversion tactics in relation to a sleeper cell in America. This is to say nothing of the countless US interventions during the Cold War and later including a coup in Argentina and Chile the latter of which the US-supported Pinochet who subsequently executed thousands of political dissidents; firebombed Laos and Cambodia, supported Papa Doc who used death squads of the Tonton Macoutes in Haiti to enforce his rule, invaded the Bay of Pigs and had several attempts at assassinating Castro, and the US’s support for terrorists and dictators in the middle east including Afghanistan and Iraq leading the rise and creation of cells like Al Qaeda and ISIS. I know the majority of this has been looking away from the Summer of Love, but I’m using all the conspiracies and actual projects mentioned here that actually happened during the cold war as a potential basis for what can be explored in a game in San Francisco or New York in 1967. While the game idea was only popularized due to a joke from the Simpsons later posted in AC4, the lore potential is very real. 21st Century and beyond People have been asking for a modern-day Assassin’s Creed for years now, due in part to the original plan for AC3 being modern-day only or not having to use an animus to go to the past due to the bleeding effect. This luckily never came to fruition, which is good. Assassin’s Creed is meant to be a primarily historical game, and a large part of the draw is historical tourism. That said, I do like the modern-day in the series, and think we should see a time jump forward to like 2030 and have the series slowly work towards that date so we can have successive games like Desmond had, rather than the disjointed nature Layla’s Saga has had.
So, my girlfriend and I are, quite frankly, very bored. So very bored. We’re too chickenshit to go out for the most part because of COVID so we’ve been pretty much playing video games, watching Netflix, swimming, and binging anime. Netflix is nice and all and I feel very blessed to have access to a pool just for ourselves, but we need something new to do! What have all of you been doing? We moved here very recently (due to family reasons) so we are pretty unfamiliar with the area. Housing was already secured and we’ve always worked remotely, which we were very thankful for. We’ve already decided that, although we do enjoy gambling and all that, we will probably be avoiding all of that until late next year unless things drastically change. Any and all input would be most appreciated as long as it is COVID-friendly and responsible. We really, REALLY don’t want to infect others and ourselves. Thank you very much in advance. A little bit about us... we’re in our late 20s, love video games of all types (mostly Nintendo/party/co-op games), love watching anime, like gambling, drinking, smoking weed, socializing/playing jackbox on Discord, and LOVE good food and a great deal. We were getting into hiking before we moved, but from what I’ve read up we should probably wait until the fall/winter months, right? We are located like 5-10 mins east of the strip if knowing the general location helps. Any suggestions for video games? PC/Switch/PS4 are what we have so we have a variety of options. Single player or co-op that's fun or cute would be great. Or maybe some kind of board game/card game that works well with two people? A nice hobby shop or vintage game shop or something would be nice, but we don't want to go to places that are too crowded quite yet. Legal weed is amazing and I am loving it. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I really like the fact that it is not persecuted in this state. Are there like any cool products I should try, a certain dispensary I should visit, et cetera? Anything that is COVID-friendly would be great. Same with certain liquor stores/alcohol, although I drink bottom-shelf rail shit so I'm not sure what my options would be haha. As for gambling, we really want to visit the Strip but we're not comfortable going this year or probably even next year. I was thinking about trying online video poker, especially with the signup bonuses, but I was worried about how/if they are regulated. Any insight? Not a huge deal though as we don't like gambling THAT much. Food, food, food. We love food, and even more so at a low price. There's this taco truck that's like a 5-10 minute drive from where we live that has the best tacos I've ever had for $1.50 to $2.00. It is heavenly. Any tips as to where the best grub is? We're going to be here for the foreseeable future so we want to make a list and try them all someday. Hit us with your best shot! It can be expensive or it can be cheap, as long as it is yummy! Any other good deals around? Vons had these $5.00 sandwiches that were enormous and the dollar stores have so much variety it is insane! Oh, and Five Below opened up recently. We love good deals like that... anything that comes in mind? I think as for hiking, we will be waiting until the winter unless you all think otherwise. Hmm, I suppose this ended up being a pretty long question and I'm sorry I droned on haha but I didn't want to ask a generic "What to do in Las Vegas" question, you know? I wanted to get some ideas on what all of you are doing to pass the time during the pandemic. Please feel free to add any additional clarity or tips on living in Las Vegas if you'd like, but I'm sure you're tired of answering that for the 100th time now lol. Please feel free to give us any and all suggestions; activities/games/video games indoors would be ideal but if we have to go out, it would be great if you know the place enforces the mask policy. Definitely nothing like a bar or nightclub though, please! If we do have to go out to visit a certain shop for a certain deal or a certain meal, we'd like to be in and out and back home ASAP. I know I am asking a lot so seriously, thank you again.
The Mojave Wasteland was left almost completely unscathed by the nuclear holocaust that was the Great War. The city that was once Las Vegas alone was targeted with well over 77 nuclear warheads. Thanks to the efforts of billionaire genius Robert Edwin House, all but 9 of the nuclear warheads were successfully destroyed and rendered harmless to what would become New Vegas. Having suffered only minor damage from the Great War, what is now the Mojave Wasteland was, and still is, extremely fertile ground for the beginning of the return of human civilization. Filled to the brim with countless treasures, essentially unlimited natural resources and mammoth economic/financial value, the Mojave Wasteland can be the staging ground for the great rejuvenation of humanity. A great rejuvenation with the Republic at the helm. Look at Hoover Dam, for instance. When the NCR first found it, it was a dilapidated mess that had sat there derelict for centuries. Years later, they managed to single-handedly restore it to operational condition (they had as many as 6-out-of-8 if its energy turbines operational before 2 of those were jammed not long afterwards) and transformed it into a magnificently invaluable power station that churns out gargantuan levels of energy for the Republic. Enough energy to fuel every last major city, town, settlement and community in the whole of the NCR. And that's only at 50% capacity! Just imagine what it could do once fully-restored. The NCR also shares Hoover Dam's titanic energy output with not only the Strip, but with the rest of New Vegas (albeit at almost non-existent levels), as well. Hoover Dam alone could very well be the key to the full restoration of human civilization in not only the Mojave Wasteland, but across the entirety of the post-apocalyptic world. Then, of course, we also have the virtually limitless supply of fresh, radiation-free water that lies within Lake Mead. Aside from serving as a drink, this water could also be used to massively upgrade and improve the already-colossal agricultural production of the Republic and, eventually, be of immense assistance to the whole of the Mojave Wasteland's own young, underdeveloped agriculture (more on that soon). In the right hands, Lake Mead could be a major component in the rebirth of civilization. Speaking of water, it was also the NCR that repaired the regional network of water cisterns and pumping stations, as well. Granting much easier, much more available, access to fresh water for not only NCR soldiers and citizens, but also denizens of New Vegas (albeit for a fee) as well. While very small in significance, for the time being, and not of any meaningful help to New Vegas citizens, as of now, that will all change in due time once the Mojave Wasteland is finally annexed by the Republic (more on that, soon). There's also the matter of infrastructure. As is the case back West, the NCR has tirelessly toiled away to repair and restore all manner of infrastructure across the Mojave Wasteland. Aside from the most obvious example, Hoover Dam, the NCR has also restored power plants (i.e. HELIOS One, which, unfortunately, is only running at 1% capacity, and the El Dorado Substation), mines (i.e. Quarry Junction, prior to it getting overrun with Deathclaws), factories (i.e. the Gun Runners' New Vegas weapons factory) and even roads and railroads (for instance, the reason why the Powder Gangers are in the Mojave Wasteland is because they were meant to be the penal labor force responsible for said infrastructural overhaul). True, the NCR's massive overhaul of the Mojave Wasteland's heavily degraded infrastructure primarily benefits their military, as of now, but that will no longer be the case once the NCR formally annexes the region. Once that happens, not only the Mojave Wasteland, but the entirety of the post-apocalyptic world, will benefit gloriously. Now we examine the highly invaluable field of agriculture. Taking full advantage of its centuries worth of infinite knowledge and boundless experience with its own painstakingly extensive, but ultimately unimaginably successful, agricultural restoration efforts back home, the Republic has taken it upon itself to replicate that success in the Mojave Wasteland with the NCR Sharecropper Farms project (not to mention Thomas Hildern's plan to acquire the agricultural research of Vault 22). An experiment that's dedicated to bringing the Mojave Wasteland's enormously gargantuan agricultural potential to life, its success could have ludicrously gigantic benefits and rewards for not only the region and the NCR, but also the whole of the Wastelands, as well. And given that the NCR Sharecropper Farms are already producing more than enough food to supply all of the tens of thousands of NCR soldiers across the region as it is, I do believe that I'm more than safe in saying that said potential is most certainly well on its way to being achieved. Now sure, the project was originally designed to provide landless farmers and ranchers back West with jobs and sure, the project has run into some major problems (i.e. Westside stealing NCR water and radiation leakage from Vault 34's reactor that's contaminating the soil) but, at the end of the day, the potential rewards of the project's success can't be ignored. Last but not least, we have the New Vegas Strip. Having spent well over 7 years getting ludicrously wealthy and fat off of impossibly massive sums of NCR cash due to its thriving gambling/tourism industry, a Republic annexation of the prosperous resort community would go a long way towards making humanity great again. Not only would it more than enable the NCR to very easily reimburse all of its financial costs and losses from years of protecting the Mojave by taxing the Strip and its casinos, but it would also spark a colossally titanic flood of tax caps that'll virtually swell the Republic's already-near-boundless wealth. Money that could go a very long way towards additional improvements to the Republic's already-unrivaled infrastructure, already-unmatched healthcare, already-titanic industry, already-unequalled agricultural production and already-gargantuan military might in addition to the Mojave Wasteland's own well-being. With the immense wealth of the New Vegas Strip, the NCR could help make both the Mojave Wasteland and, eventually, the rest of the Wastes a vastly better place. [Note: the following assumes that the Courier both helped the NCR and took the absolute best route possible]. Here's my vision of a newly-annexed Mojave Wasteland that's now under the full control of the Republic. I see a Mojave Wasteland that's filled to the brim with fields that are chock full of maize, beans, tobacco and cotton as well as immensely bountiful scores of trees with branches hanging low to the ground, fat with ripe, juicy oranges and apples, amongst innumerable other produce. Farms and ranches as far as the eye can see that are teeming with Brahmin and Bighorners. I also envision a Mojave Wasteland that has become the new industrial heartland of the Republic. A massively gargantuan industrial/manufacturing powerhouse that's splitting at the seams with factories, weapons foundries, workshops, mines and construction sites in addition to a finely-crafted, highly-extensive network of roads and railroads at a level that's unseen even back West. I see a New Vegas that has been entirely restored to its former Old World glory, a gloriously titanic city of limitless wealth, unmatched splendor and unrivaled beauty. A city that is bulging with casinos, resorts, skyscrapers, apartment complexes and even seas upon seas of suburbs amongst a vast plethora of other features. All of which is powered, supported and sustained by the colossally mammoth energy output of a now-fully-operational Hoover Dam, with additional support from a now-fully-functional HELIOS One, as well as hugely endless supplies of fresh water from Lake Mead, Lake Las Vegas and the numerous aquifers that are scattered all across the Mojave Wasteland. Water that is distributed by the regional network of pristine water cisterns and pumping stations. This new-and-improved Mojave Wasteland will go on to transform the NCR from what's already the dominant superpower of the post-apocalyptic world with essentially infinite wealth, the most powerful military in all of the Wastes, the absolute finest infrastructure, the most bountiful agricultural production, the most advanced technology, the most gargantuan industry and the greatest healthcare into a god-like entity with limitless power. An entity that could go on to begin the great rejuvenation of human civilization and bring an end to the post-apocalyptic era once and for all. A great rejuvenation with the NCR at its head, and New Vegas at its heart. That is why the NCR must not fail in annexing the Mojave Wasteland. The future of humanity depends on it.

Are you ready to take a closer look at Spin Casino?
And it’s not just you — the name reminds us of another casino too — Spin Palace. The crazy thing is that it’s not just a coincidence. Spin Casino is owned and operated by the same company that owns and operates Spin Palace. The name isn’t the only thing these two casinos have in common, though. They also have a similar, if not identical, casino. The games, graphics, and stakes are alike. If playing at identical casinos isn’t your cup of tea, we totally understand. There are tons of unique places to play online. You can browse our review section and find dozens of them. However, if this doesn’t bother you, then the upside is that you know that you can expect a high-quality and enjoyable experience at Spin Casino. That said, we aren’t about to rest on our laurels just because Spin Casino is similar to its sister casinos. This is why we still reviewed Spin Casino with the same scrutiny we do when we review other casinos. This means our review below includes both the good and the bad information that we found. It means we didn’t take money for a fluffy review or inflated rating. And it also means that we’re going to tell you exactly what you need to hear so that you can decide whether Spin Casino is the right site for you to join. If that sounds like a review that you want to read, then we have good news for you — it starts in the next section >>Claim Free Spins Now<<

The Casino
In the following sections, we’re going to look at Spin Casino’s games. That way, you can get an idea of the games they offer so that you can decide if they’ll be a good fit for you. Unlike most casinos nowadays, Spin Casino uses only Microgaming software for its animated casino games. There’s nothing wrong with this. It’s just that you won’t have the game or graphics variety that you will have at casinos that work with multiple software providers. Trust us, though; this casino is plenty good enough. Spin Casino offers a little bit of everything here including slots, video poker, and table games. They have a live dealer casino, too. Their live games come from Evolution and Ezugi, who are heavy hitters in the live gaming space. The result is a robust selection of live games. We’ll look at these later. The one confusing aspect of their casino is that there are three sections — a casino, live casino, and Vegas (casino). We’re going to list some of their games below, but we’re only going to make a distinction between their animated and live dealer games. We also noticed that their Vegas casino section doesn’t have any filters. You can’t select the type of games (slots, table games, video poker, etc.) that you want to see. This can make it tough to find the type of game you’re looking for unless you already know what it’s called. The good news is that most, if not all, of their Vegas games, are also available in their main casino. This means there’s a chance you won’t need to visit the Vegas section at all. Anyway, that covers the basics. Let’s now jump into each section and look at some specific examples of casino games you can play at Spin Casino.
Table Games
We’re going to start with Spin Casino’s table games. The following is a list of card and poker games that we found during our review.
Atlantic City Blackjack
Baccarat
Roulette
3 Card Poker
Card Climber
Classic Blackjack
Craps
Double Exposure Blackjack
European Blackjack
European Roulette
Flip Card
High-Speed Poker
Hold’em High
Vegas Downtown Blackjack
Multi Wheel Roulette
Red Dog
Super Fun 21
Vegas Strip Blackjack
Spanish Blackjack
Triple Pocket Hold’em Poker
Cyberstud
And more!
There are both pluses and minuses to Spin Casino’s table game section. We’ll start with the downsides. The most frustrating thing about their table games is that there’s no way to filter for specific games in the Vegas section. This can make it incredibly tough to find the games you want to play unless you already know what they’re called. Another thing we were sort of unimpressed with is the lack of non-blackjack and roulette games. There are not enough games to offset all the blackjack and roulette options. However, that brings us to one of the good things about their table game selection. They have lots of blackjack and roulette games. In fact, you’ll find more than 30 blackjack games and more than 10 roulette games. Some of these are merely high-stakes variants or duplicate titles with improved graphics. Even discounting those, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better selection elsewhere. Another thing we’re fans of is some of the unique games that you’ll find at Spin Casino that aren’t readily available elsewhere. For example, we can’t think of another casino that offers Triple Pocket Hold’em, Hold’em High, or Card Climber. That’s always a good thing. Table Game Testing, Graphics, and Stakes Once we were done browsing their games, we opened a few of them up to make sure they worked well and to see what their graphics and stakes are like. The graphics for the games we tested are pretty good. They’re not glossy, overly polished, or even realistic. They look more like animated games. There’s nothing wrong with that, though. They don’t make it clear the stakes you can play for. We had to manually decrease and increase our bets to figure out the limits. The stakes we found varied from $2/hand or round to as much as $1,000. But keep in mind that this may vary depending on the game you play. These aren’t bad limits — they’re higher than what many casinos offer. No t only that, but we also anticipated their live dealer casino offering even higher stakes. This means that we’re less concerned about how high the stakes are in this section of their casino. We’ll look at their live dealer section in a few minutes.
Video Poker
The next section we checked out was Spin Casino’s video poker games. Here are the games we found during our review.
Aces & Eights Poker
Aces and Faces
All Aces Poker
Deuces Wild Poker
Deuces Wild Bonus Poker
Double Double Bonus Poker
Jacks or Better Poker
All American
Bonus Poker
Deuces & Joker Poker
Joker Poker
Louisiana Double Poker
Tens or Better Poker
This is an okay selection. On top of this, you’ll find “power,” “multi-hand,” and “Gold Series” variants that you can also choose from. We counted nearly 25 poker games in their main casino. There are video poker machines in the Vegas section too, but we didn’t find anything different than what’s listed above. Testing Their Games, Graphics, and Stakes We tested a couple of their poker games during our review. The games we played had average graphics, but that’s to be expected with video poker machines. They’re not meant to be fancy. They worked great, though. We experienced no lagging or bugs. Some of them had neat features, too. For example, the machines we played offered the chance to double your winnings. When you make a winning hand, you can click the “double” button to play a mini-game to see if you can double up. Keep in mind that if you lose this game, you lose everything. The best feature, though, had to be the automatic hold. Many video poker machines will tell you when you made a winning hand so that you don’t forget to hold those cards. However, one of the machines we played automatically held the best cards according to the common video poker strategy. Now, we don’t know what strategy these machines are using or how optimal that strategy is. However, they did hold the cards we would have had this feature not existed. This is a neat option if you’re new to video poker and aren’t sure how to play optimally. As far as stakes go, we found machines that let us play for as little as $0.25 per coin to as much as $50 per round. We recommend you bet the max number of coins, though, which means your minimum bet will be $1.25. This will vary from machine to machine, though. Overall, we liked Spin Casino’s video poker section. We’d like to see more unique titles to choose from, but our opinion is that this lineup will work for most people reading this.
Slots
Next up is Spin Casino’s slot selection. They have far too many slot machines to list here, but here is a small sample to give you an idea of what you’ll be able to play.

And more!
You’ll find all these slots in the main casino. There are plenty more where this comes from too. You’ll also find more slots — including unique titles not found in the main casino — inside the Vegas section. That said, their selection of slots is much smaller than we expected considering that they work with Microgaming. We still can’t complain, though, especially after seeing some of the titles that you can play here. For example, the slots that stood out to us are the licensed/branded slots. Licensed slots are machines that revolve around IP that other companies own. This includes movies (Jurassic Park), video games (Hitman), TV shows (Game of Thrones), and more. These are fun to play because it’s highly likely that you’re going to be a fan of whatever the slot machine is about. For example, we like Jurassic Park. This means we get to kill two birds with one stone — play slots about a theme we really like. Not only that, but you can play many of these slot machines in brick-and-mortar casinos. We’ve played Game of Thrones countless times during our trips to Las Vegas. And this is just the licensed slots. You still have all the other slots that Spin Casino has to offer. This includes slots with bonus rounds, 3 and 5 reels, progressive jackpots, and features such as free spins, wilds, scatters, and more. As for stakes, they vary so much that it’s hard to give concrete numbers. That said, we found machines that allowed us to play for as little as $0.10/spin to as much as $200. Most of the machines we looked at maxed out at $30 or less, though. This means that you might have to do some digging to find the machines with higher limits. Overall, while Spin Casino’s slot section can definitely be bigger given that they’re powered by Microgaming, what they do have will be more than enough for most people. >>Claim Free Spins Now<<
Live Dealer Games
Last up is Spin Casino’s live dealer section. Here are the games we found during our review.
Dragon Tiger
Private Blackjack
Shangri La Roulette
Dream Catcher
Casino Hold’em
Baccarat
Football Studio
Roulette
Ultimate Texas Hold’em
Lightning Roulette
Infinite Blackjack
Baccarat Super 6
Evolution Party Table
This is a solid selection of live games, especially when compared to other online casinos. But that’s not a surprise since some of these games come from Evolution Gaming, who’s a heavy hitter in the live gaming space. Once you click on one of these games, you’ll be redirected to a section where you’ll find several tables to choose from (depending on the game). You’ll also find a navigation bar at the top with several filters to help you quickly find the game you want to play. The lowest stakes we found for these games is $5 for blackjack. This is sort of a bummer since some live blackjack games can be played for as little as $1. However, $5 is pretty standard for a live game, so it’s not something we can hold against them. You can play some of their other games, like baccarat or roulette, for $0.10-$1 per round. The highest stakes we found were $5,000 for blackjack, $2,000 for roulette, and as much as $5,000 for everything else. These aren’t th highest stakes online, but they should work for most people. One of the most impressive things about their games is the camera work. The different angles they use and the close-ups make it look like you’re watching a movie. Depending on the game, you can also change the camera option. For example, the roulette game lets you choose from 3D, immersive, or classic camera angles The streams were very good considering how good the camera work was. We noticed a few lags, but they didn’t take away from the game much. The resolution was pretty good regardless. Other features include the option to chat with your tablemates and the dealer, adjust the sound and camera angles, bet behind, and set up automatic actions. You can even multi-table several games at once. Overall, we’re impressed with the live dealer casino at Spin Casino. You’ll have plenty of games to choose from, stakes, features, and men and women dealers that speak different languages. We recommend you check it out. >>Claim Free Spins Now<<
The Sportsbook
Spin Casino is unique from some of the other casinos under The Palace Group brand in that they also have a sportsbook. It’s called Spin Sports. Here’s what you can expect to find if you choose to bet here.
Sports, Market, and Betting Options
Spin Sports has an excellent selection of sports that you can bet on. Here’s what we found during our review.
Soccer
Basketball
Tennis
Ice Hockey
American Football
Handball
Volleyball
Cricket
Rugby Union
Rugby League
Esports
Specials
Virtual Sports
Boxing
Gold
Badminton
Winter Sports
MMA
Darts
Snooker and Pool
Baseball
Cycling
Motor Racing
Speedway
Floorball
Table Tennis
Bandy
Aussie Rules
Surfing
Netball
Gaelic Football
Gaelic Hurling
Super Spin Specials
Many of these options have dropdown menus, too. For example, click on the soccer option, and a dropdown menu containing options such as England, Europe, Spain, Italy, and Germany will appear. This goes for many of the other options, too — you’ll find countries as subcategories. You’ll need to click on these to find the different leagues that play in those countries. Your betting options will obviously depend on the sport you bet on. We found plenty of choices, though. For example, you can bet outrights or money lines for Europa basketball. You’ll find spread betting, more money lines, oveunder, and outrights for NBA games. Click on a match, and you’ll find additional markets. For example, we checked out an NBA game and found options to bet on different quarters, total points, team points per quarter or half, overtime, and more. There are plenty of betting options here, which was a surprise, honestly, considering who’s running this sportsbook.
Live Betting
Spin Sports also offers live sports betting. When we were there, you could bet on soccer, basketball, tennis, ice hockey, and cricket. We wouldn’t be surprised if they covered more matches than this (when those games are available). In fact, we know that’s the case since we looked at their Event View and Live Schedule tabs. This is where you’ll see all the sports you can bet on, all the matches, and the number of betting opportunities available for each one. And that’s about it for their live sportsbook. The one thing we’d really like to see added in the future is the option to watch live streams. It’d make sense to add a racebook too. Here’s hoping that Spin Sports has both items on their to-do list. >>Claim Free Spins Now<<
Final Thoughts
Spin Sports is a much better sportsbook than we expected. It’s hard to expect something this impressive from a company that has been running only casinos for more than a decade. We’re fans, though. There are plenty of sports and markets to bet on. You also have your standard options for betting in American, fractional, or decimal odds, as well as using the sportsbook in different languages. That said, there is room for improvement. They could add a racebook, live streaming, and additional features and build out their esports section. But we think they’ve done a good job so far, and it’ll be more than enough for your typical casino player or recreational bettor.
Banking Options
Something we noticed during our review is that there’s the option to deposit inside both the casino and the sportsbook. As far as we can tell, it looks like you’ll want to deposit to the section you plan to spend your time in. In other words, if you want to bet sports, you’ll want to deposit to your sportsbook account. If you want to play blackjack or slots, you’ll want to make your deposit to the casino. The good news is that it looks like the same banking options are accepted in both sections. Find an option that works for you, and you can use it in both places. When we reviewed Spin Casino, we didn’t find any evidence that suggests they charge fees on their deposits. This is great news. However, it’s not clear whether they charge fees on withdrawals. As for limits, you can cash out as much as €4,000 per week if the amount you’re trying to cash out is more than 5x the amount that you’ve deposited over the life of your account. Otherwise, it looks like you can cash out as much as £10,000 in a 24-hour period. This will depend on the banking option you use, of course. Progressive jackpots are exempt from these rules, which is great to see. It’s no surprise, though, considering that they work with Microgaming. That wraps up their banking details. The following two sections will list the banking methods you can use to fund and cash out your account.
You can claim a few promotions as a customer of Spin Casino and Spin Sports. The following sections summarize the offers you can claim and the terms you need to fulfill if you do.
Spin Casino Promotions
The following are offers that you’ll find under the promotions tab on the casino side of things.
New Player Bonus
This is an offer available to first-time customers. Spin Casino is offering a 100% match bonus of up to $1,000. It’s spread out over your first three deposits like this.
First Deposit – 100% match up to $400
Second Deposit – 100% match up to $300
Third Deposit – 100% match up to $300
This is a nice offer because you have multiple opportunities to claim as much as you can. It’s especially helpful for players on a budget who can’t deposit $1,000 in one shot. You will need to roll over this bonus 50x, though the playthrough will depend on the casino game you play. We recommend reading their terms if you plan to play a game other than slots. The downside to this offer is that if you do happen to complete the playthrough with money to spare, and you want to withdraw it, cash-outs will be limited to 100 casino credits. You’ll forfeit the rest of the bonus. That being the case, it might make more sense to play the bonus (and lose money) until you only have 100 credits left. Then make a withdrawal if you want. That way, you can enjoy the bonus money/winnings for as long as possible. And that’s all they have for bonus offers. Spin Casino does say that they offer bonuses on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. We have no idea what those offers look like, though. While we were there, we did notice that they have a “bonus wheel.” You spin the wheel, and you can earn prizes, such as bonuses to claim. It looks like you can spin the wheel once every couple of hours. This is pretty neat.
Loyalty Club
Spin Casino also offers a loyalty club. This is a multi-tier program that awards more perks the higher your status. This program has six levels.
Blue
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Privé
As you ascend, you’ll receive additional perks such as bonus points, more entry points, exclusive tournaments, VIP support, phone support, and exclusive gifts and bonuses. You can receive monthly bonuses too. Climb the ladder to the very top of their VIP program, and you can receive more than $10,000 every month in bonuses. Getting to each tier is straightforward — you need to earn so many points to reach a specific status, and then so many points to maintain that status each month. You’ll earn 1 point for every $10 you spend in the casino. We recommend you read their promotions page to determine for sure if this program will be a good fit for you. But if we understand their points setup and minimum point requirements correctly, then this looks like a good program to use — even for low-stakes players!
Spin Sports Promotions
You’ll need to be in the sportsbook section in order to find their sports betting promotions. The following are the promotions we found during our review, including what you can get and the terms you need to fulfill. Free Bet – First-time sports bettors will be able to claim a free bet bonus. This is a 100% match up to $200. To claim the offer, deposit at least $10. This offer has a 5x rollover ($1,000 if you claim the entire $200) before you can withdraw any winnings. We recommend you read their terms and conditions for their other rules, as you’ll need to abide by odd minimums/maximums when you make your bets. And that’s the only offer we found for sports bettors during our review. This isn’t a bad offer by any means. That said, it would be great if they had a few other promotions running. It’d be nice to see some kind of cashback or rebate offer or additional bonuses. But as the saying goes, something is better than nothing.
Mobile Friendliness
Both Spin Casino and Spin Sports are mobile-friendly. You don’t need to download any apps. All you need to do is go to the casino or sportsbook from your phone or tablet and log in. You’ll be able to play all games and make bets from your browser. It looks like you’ll have the full sportsbook at your disposal. And considering that they work with Microgaming and Evolution Gaming, we wouldn’t be surprised if most or even all of their casino games are available. >>Claim Free Spins Now<<
Customer Support
You can use the following options to contact Spin Casino.
The email address above is addressed to the parent company of Spin Casino. The issue with that is they manage several other casinos. For that reason, we recommend that you make it clear that you’re a Spin Casino customer when you contact them. That way, you eliminate any confusion and reduce the chances of any unnecessary back and forth. We were disappointed to see that they don’t offer phone support despite saying they do in multiple places throughout their website. That said, phone support still isn’t a standard communication method offered by online gambling sites. It wouldn’t be fair if we held the lack of phone support against Spin Casino. Besides, you can contact them 24/7 using the methods above. We sent Spin Casino an email, and we were surprised to receive a response less than two hours later. They answered our questions, too. That’s better than the average casino for sure. For that reason, we give Spin Casino’s support two virtual thumbs up.

SPIN CASINO REVIEW
Are you ready to take a closer look at Spin Casino? And it’s not just you — the name reminds us of another casino too — Spin Palace. The crazy thing is that it’s not just a coincidence. Spin Casino is owned and operated by the same company that owns and operates Spin Palace. The name isn’t the only thing these two casinos have in common, though. They also have a similar, if not identical, casino. The games, graphics, and stakes are alike. If playing at identical casinos isn’t your cup of tea, we totally understand. There are tons of unique places to play online. You can browse our review section and find dozens of them. However, if this doesn’t bother you, then the upside is that you know that you can expect a high-quality and enjoyable experience at Spin Casino. That said, we aren’t about to rest on our laurels just because Spin Casino is similar to its sister casinos. This is why we still reviewed Spin Casino with the same scrutiny we do when we review other casinos. This means our review below includes both the good and the bad information that we found. It means we didn’t take money for a fluffy review or inflated rating. And it also means that we’re going to tell you exactly what you need to hear so that you can decide whether Spin Casino is the right site for you to join. If that sounds like a review that you want to read, then we have good news for you — it starts in the next section.
Spin Casino Basic Information
Spin Casino has a license with the Malta Gaming Authority and Kahnawake Gaming Commission. They’re licensed under the names Bayton Ltd and Baytree Ltd. Bayton Ltd and Baytree Ltd are both managed by The Palace Group. There’s a good chance that you’ve heard of The Palace Group, or at least heard of or played at one of their brands. Some of the other brands they operate include Spin Palace, Ruby Fortune, and Mummy’s Gold. The Palace Group has been in business a long time, too — since 2001. This means that they’re getting close to their 20th anniversary online, which is light years compared to other casinos.
The Casino Games
In the following sections, we’re going to look at Spin Casino’s games. That way, you can get an idea of the games they offer so that you can decide if they’ll be a good fit for you. Unlike most casinos nowadays, Spin Casino uses only Microgaming software for their animated casino games. There’s nothing wrong with this. It’s just that you won’t have the game or graphics variety that you will have at casinos that work with multiple software providers. Trust us, though; this casino is plenty good enough. Spin Casino offers a little bit of everything here including slots, video poker, and table games. They have a live dealer casino, too. Their live games come from Evolution and Ezugi, who are heavy hitters in the live gaming space. The result is a robust selection of live games. We’ll look at these later. The one confusing aspect of their casino is that there are three sections — a casino, live casino, and Vegas (casino). We’re going to list some of their games below, but we’re only going to make a distinction between their animated and live dealer games. We also noticed that their Vegas casino section doesn’t have any filters. You can’t select the type of games (slots, table games, video poker, etc.) that you want to see. This can make it tough to find the type of game you’re looking for unless you already know what it’s called. The good news is that most, if not all, of their Vegas games are also available in their main casino. This means there’s a chance you won’t need to visit the Vegas section at all. Anyway, that covers the basics. Let’s now jump into each section and look at some specific examples of casino games you can play at Spin Casino. >>Get Your Free Bonus Now<<
Table Games
We’re going to start with Spin Casino’s table games. The following is a list of card and poker games that we found during our review.
Atlantic City Blackjack
Baccarat
Roulette
3 Card Poker
Card Climber
Classic Blackjack
Craps
Double Exposure Blackjack
European Blackjack
European Roulette
Flip Card
High Speed Poker
Hold’em High
Vegas Downtown Blackjack
Multi Wheel Roulette
Red Dog
Super Fun 21
Vegas Strip Blackjack
Spanish Blackjack
Triple Pocket Hold’em Poker
Cyberstud
And more!
There are both pluses and minuses to Spin Casino’s table game section. We’ll start with the downsides. The most frustrating thing about their table games is that there’s no way to filter for specific games in the Vegas section. This can make it incredibly tough to find the games you want to play unless you already know what they’re called. Another thing we were sort of unimpressed with is the lack of non-blackjack and roulette games. There are not enough games to offset all the blackjack and roulette options. However, that brings us to one of the good things about their table game selection. They have lots of blackjack and roulette games. In fact, you’ll find more than 30 blackjack games and more than 10 roulette games. Some of these are merely high-stakes variants or duplicate titles with improved graphics. Even discounting those, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better selection elsewhere. Another thing we’re fans of is some of the unique games that you’ll find at Spin Casino that aren’t readily available elsewhere. For example, we can’t think of another casino that offers Triple Pocket Hold’em, Hold’em High, or Card Climber. That’s always a good thing. Table Game Testing, Graphics, and Stakes Once we were done browsing their games, we opened a few of them up to make sure they worked well and to see what their graphics and stakes are like. The graphics for the games we tested are pretty good. They’re not glossy, overly polished, or even realistic. They look more like animated games. There’s nothing wrong with that, though. They don’t make it clear the stakes you can play for. We had to manually decrease and increase our bets to figure out the limits. The stakes we found varied from $2/hand or round to as much as $1,000. But keep in mind that this may vary depending on the game you play. These aren’t bad limits — they’re higher than what many casinos offer. Not only that, but we also anticipated their live dealer casino offering even higher stakes. This means that we’re less concerned about how high the stakes are in this section of their casino. We’ll look at their live dealer section in a few minutes.
Video Poker
The next section we checked out was Spin Casino’s video poker games. Here are the games we found during our review.
Aces & Eights Poker

All Aces Poker
Deuces Wild Poker

Your betting options will obviously depend on the sport you bet on. We found plenty of choices, though. For example, you can bet outrights or moneylines for Europa basketball. You’ll find spread betting, moneylines, oveunders, and outrights for NBA games. Click on a match, and you’ll find additional markets. For example, we checked out an NBA game and found options to bet on different quarters, total points, team points per quarter or half, overtime, and more. There are plenty of betting options here, which was a surprise, honestly, considering who’s running this sportsbook.
Live Betting
Spin Sports also offers live sports betting. When we were there, you could bet on soccer, basketball, tennis, ice hockey, and cricket. We wouldn’t be surprised if they covered more matches than this (when those games are available). In fact, we know that’s the case since we looked at their Event View and Live Schedule tabs. This is where you’ll see all the sports you can bet on, all the matches, and the number of betting opportunities available for each one. And that’s about it for their live sportsbook. The one thing we’d really like to see added in the future is the option to watch live streams. It’d make sense to add a racebook too. Here’s hoping that Spin Sports has both items on their to-do list.
Final Thoughts
Spin Sports is a much better sportsbook than we expected. It’s hard to expect something this impressive from a company that has been running only casinos for more than a decade. We’re fans, though. There are plenty of sports and markets to bet on. You also have your standard options for betting in American, fractional, or decimal odds, as well as using the sportsbook in different languages. That said, there is room for improvement. They could add a racebook, live streaming, and additional features and build out their esports section. But we think they’ve done a good job so far, and it’ll be more than enough for your typical casino player or recreational bettor. >>Get Your Free Bonus Now<<
Banking Options
Something we noticed during our review is that there’s the option to deposit inside both the casino and the sportsbook. As far as we can tell, it looks like you’ll want to deposit to the section you plan to spend your time in. In other words, if you want to bet sports, you’ll want to deposit to your sportsbook account. If you want to play blackjack or slots, you’ll want to make your deposit to the casino. The good news is that it looks like the same banking options are accepted in both sections. Find an option that works for you, and you can use it in both places. When we reviewed Spin Casino, we didn’t find any evidence that suggests they charge fees on their deposits. This is great news. However, it’s not clear whether they charge fees on withdrawals. As for limits, you can cash out as much as €4,000 per week if the amount you’re trying to cash out is more than 5x the amount that you’ve deposited over the life of your account. Otherwise, it looks like you can cash out as much as £10,000 in a 24-hour period. This will depend on the banking option you use, of course. Progressive jackpots are exempt from these rules, which is great to see. It’s no surprise, though, considering that they work with Microgaming. That wraps up their banking details. The following two sections will list the banking methods you can use to fund and cash out your account.

Bonus Promotions
You can claim a few promotions as a customer of Spin Casino and Spin Sports. The following sections summarize the offers you can claim and terms you need to fulfill if you do.
Spin Casino Promotions
The following are offers that you’ll find under the promotions tab on the casino side of things.
New Player Bonus
This is an offer available to first-time customers. Spin Casino is offering a 100% match bonus up to $1,000. It’s spread out over your first three deposits like this.
First Deposit – 100% match up to $400
Second Deposit – 100% match up to $300
Third Deposit – 100% match up to $300
This is a nice offer because you have multiple opportunities to claim as much as you can. It’s especially helpful for players on a budget who can’t deposit $1,000 in one shot. You will need to roll over this bonus 50x, though the playthrough will depend on the casino game you play. We recommend reading their terms if you plan to play a game other than slots. The downside to this offer is that if you do happen to complete the playthrough with money to spare, and you want to withdraw it, cash-outs will be limited to 100 casino credits. You’ll forfeit the rest of the bonus. That being the case, it might make more sense to play the bonus (and lose money) until you only have 100 credits left. Then make a withdrawal if you want. That way, you can enjoy the bonus money/winnings for as long as possible. And that’s all they have for bonus offers. Spin Casino does say that they offer bonuses on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. We have no idea what those offers look like, though. While we were there, we did notice that they have a “bonus wheel.” You spin the wheel, and you can earn prizes, such as bonuses to claim. It looks like you can spin the wheel once every couple of hours. This is pretty neat.
Loyalty Club
Spin Casino also offers a loyalty club. This is a multi-tier program that awards more perks the higher your status. This program has six levels.
Blue
Silver
Gold
Platinum
Diamond
Privé
As you ascend, you’ll receive additional perks such as bonus points, more entry points, exclusive tournaments, VIP support, phone support, and exclusive gifts and bonuses. You can receive monthly bonuses too. Climb the ladder to the very top of their VIP program, and you can receive more than $10,000 every month in bonuses. Getting to each tier is straightforward — you need to earn so many points to reach a specific status, and then so many points to maintain that status each month. You’ll earn 1 point for every $10 you spend in the casino. We recommend you read their promotions page to determine for sure if this program will be a good fit for you. But if we understand their points setup and minimum point requirements correctly, then this looks like a good program to us — even for low-stakes players! >>Get Your Free Bonus Now<<
Spin Sports Promotions
You’ll need to be in the sportsbook section in order to find their sports betting promotions. The following are the promotions we found during our review, including what you can get and the terms you need to fulfill. Free Bet – First-time sports bettors will be able to claim a free bet bonus. This is a 100% match up to $200. To claim the offer, deposit at least $10. This offer has a 5x rollover ($1,000 if you claim the entire $200) before you can withdraw any winnings. We recommend you read their terms and conditions for their other rules, as you’ll need to abide by odd minimums/maximums when you make your bets. And that’s the only offer we found for sports bettors during our review. This isn’t a bad offer by any means. That said, it would be great if they had a few other promotions running. It’d be nice to see some kind of cashback or rebate offer or additional bonuses. But as the saying goes, something is better than nothing.
Mobile Friendliness
Both Spin Casino and Spin Sports are mobile friendly. You don’t need to download any apps. All you need to do is go to the casino or sportsbook from your phone or tablet and log in. You’ll be able to play all games and make bets from your browser. It looks like you’ll have the full sportsbook at your disposal. And considering that they work with Microgaming and Evolution Gaming, we wouldn’t be surprised if most or even all of their casino games are available.
Customer Support
You can use the following options to contact Spin Casino.
The email address above is addressed to the parent company of Spin Casino. The issue with that is they manage several other casinos. For that reason, we recommend that you make it clear that you’re a Spin Casino customer when you contact them. That way, you eliminate any confusion and reduce the chances of any unnecessary back and forth. We were disappointed to see that they don’t offer phone support despite saying they do in multiple places throughout their website. That said, phone support still isn’t a standard communication method offered by online gambling sites. It wouldn’t be fair if we held the lack of phone support against Spin Casino. Besides, you can contact them 24/7 using the methods above. We sent Spin Casino an email, and we were surprised to receive a response less than two hours later. They answered our questions, too. That’s better than the average casino for sure. For that reason, we give Spin Casino’s support two virtual thumbs up. >>Get Your Free Bonus Now<<
Getting Andrew Yang to the White House Part 5: The Yang Gang’s Last Stand
I’ve been seeing a lot of negativity around here recently, and rightfully so. We lost Iowa. I know that’s not an easy fact to take in given the amount of time and effort put into the state from the campaign, staff, and volunteers, but we have to face the truth. We got out-organized. So what do we do about it? I’m the author of these previous 4 posts if you have the time to read them. If not, its ok. This post is very much a standalone post. And probably my most important post thus far: Part 1: https://www.reddit.com/YangForPresidentHQ/comments/b17slb/ive_worked_on_multiple_campaigns_and_managed_a/ Part 2: https://www.reddit.com/YangForPresidentHQ/comments/b9yyyh/getting_andrew_yang_to_the_white_house_step_2/ Part 3: https://www.reddit.com/YangForPresidentHQ/comments/c1h0lj/getting_andrew_yang_to_the_white_house_part_3_at/ Part 4: https://www.reddit.com/YangForPresidentHQ/comments/ds6rh0/getting_andrew_to_the_white_house_part_4/ In this post, I will detail our best path forward. Our best path to shock the political world and get the American people and the media to take us seriously. And it’s not what you think. Andrew has been campaigning tirelessly in IA and NH, but his best chances are not there. Our entire campaign, our entire country’s future rests on us winning Nevada. There is no other state more prime for our message and our vision than Nevada. I’ve been canvassing in Nevada since November of 2019. I have knocked on hundreds of doors and spoken to hundreds, maybe thousands of Nevadans. We have a chance to take top 3 in Nevada. When textbankers told me to go to IA, I chose to travel to Nevada. And I’m glad I did. The political environment and campaign infrastructure are much better in Nevada. Nevada (and more specifically one city in NV) is a state full of Yang Gang, they just don’t know it yet. Nevada has early voting which has already begun, but their caucus is on Feb 22nd. Nevada is our last stand. And I will detail in this post exactly why we can and should win Nevada. If we don’t, that could very well be the end of this campaign. So buckle up, this is important. Nevada is the third state to vote. In addition, like Iowa they are also a caucus state. No one was expecting us to win Iowa. Heck, it’s probably a good thing we didn’t win Iowa. With the debacle going on there, our win would have been overshadowed by the IA Democratic Party screwup anyways. That being said, no one is expecting us to win NH either. (If you want to go to NH, please still go. But from this time of posting, we have 5 days to convince NH, we have two weeks to convince NV – do the math). If we lose Nevada however, that is three in a row. More than enough reason for the media to write us off for the rest of the primary cycle. We need to prove them all wrong. We SHALL NOT let the Bernie Bros pass! We can do this because Nevada has favorable Demographics, the Issues/Politics resonate with its voters, and the Nevada Staff/Campaign are the best I’ve seen. Demographics: To win Nevada, we only need to focus on one location. Unlike Iowa and New Hampshire where the population is spread out (there are 99 counties throughout the state of IA), Nevada only has 16 counties and most of them are very sparsely populated. The most important county is Clark County, and the most important city in that county is…..you guessed it, LAS VEGAS. The Las Vegas metropolitan area includes Boulder City, Enterprise, Henderson, North Las Vegas, Summerlin, Winchester, Paradise…etc. The Las Vegas Metro area has 2.2 Million people living in it. The entire state of Nevada has a population of ~ 3 Million people. The Las Vegas metro area comprises of more than 70% of the entire population of Nevada. If we win Las Vegas, we win Nevada. Its that simple. In addition, you know what Las Vegas has that IA and NH did not? A group of people whom tend to like Yang automatically: MINORITIES!! Las Vegas has a huge Chinatown and we have a Yang office there! Las Vegas had a Chinese New Year’s parade two weeks ago! Did NH or IA have a Luna New Year Parade? FUCK NO! Yang Gang was there and walked in it! We got cheers from the audience! Yang Gang has ran ads in Chinese media for Yang. There are at least several precincts that are majority Asian people! That better be automatic delegate pickups for us. We just need to turn them out! Las Vegas, unlike Iowa or NH, is very compact. You can finish canvassing 50 doors easily because the houses are close to each other. If you’re really hitting it, you can easily do 100 doors a day. You dont need to hit a few, then drive several blocks. You can simply drive to a neighborhood and bang out door to door very efficiently. Also, unlike IA and NH, it’s a sunny/cool 60-70 degrees in Las Vegas. So people are actually out doing stuff. The Issues/Politics: There is no other city where the narrative and issues Andrew Yang champions appear more salient than in Las Vegas. Las Vegas is at the center of the automation revolution, and you can look no further than the famous Las Vegas strip. If you have the money (seriously, it can get pricey) stay on the strip and talk to every bartender, waitress, blackjack dealer, housekeeper, bellman, etc you can. In Las Vegas, the service employees win the elections. This New York Times article details it very well. (If you cant read it due to paywall, don’t worry, I’ll explain) (https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/12/us/politics/nevada-caucus-2020-culinary-union.html) The most important special interest groups in Las Vegas are the culinary workers union, Local 226, and the bartenders union, Local 165. These unions see automation in front of them every day. MGM recently automated most of their backhouse bartenders. Servers now pick up drinks from a robot and deliver them to customers. I spoke with a bar manager in the Bellagio and he said that in their contracts, there are clauses that dictate they can be automated away by a machine anytime. And they have to be ok with that. So Andrew Yang's message of the Freedom Dividend resonates. In addition, there is one issue the unions care about more than anything else and that is Healthcare. However, this is the best part: they HATE Medicare for All. Not one union worker I spoke with wanted Medicare for All. Why? Because their unions have negotiated for them stellar healthcare for years and years. They love their healthcare. And they don’t want the government coming in and taking away all the hard work their union has done for them. If you bring up Yang to your housekeeper, your waiter, your bartender, I guarantee you their first question to you will be: “What will happen to my healthcare?”. And unlike Bernie, we can say “You can keep it”. (Note: Biden also said that when he visited the unions). If Andrew Yang can win the endorsements of the Local 226 and Local 165, we win Las Vegas/NV. It was these unions whom delivered Hillary Clinton her victory in 2016. Now Andrew has not met with the unions and their leaders yet, and I hope that the campaign is reaching out to them. But until that happens, it us up to US to talk to as many union members as possible. (Note also: Nevadans have a bad taste in their mouth for Bernie, especially after how the Bernie people acted in the NV State convention in 2016. Maybe using death threats was not the best look for the Bernie campaign. Just sayin: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/17/us/politics/bernie-sanders-supporters-nevada.html) If you stay on the strip, talk to every employee you can. You can change minds. I Yanged an entire bar by myself when I spoke with the Bar Manager about the Freedom Dividend, automation, and that Yang wont take away his Healthcare. He then bought me a free drink, gave me his card, and committed to taking all his employees to the caucus. Imagine if the Yang Gang descended onto Vegas and did this at every restaurant, every bar, every hotel, and every venue. We would win Las Vegas, and get free shots too. After speaking to many Las Vegas voters, I’ve come to believe that they don’t like politicians. There’s a reason why Tom Steyer has blanketed the state with his ads. Because Nevadans don’t trust politicians. Thus, Yang is a natural alternative to the rest of the field. Steyer may have some traction, but almost everyone I spoke with didn’t like the fact that Steyer was trying to buy the election. Everyone from Uber drivers to strippers (seriously) found Steyer annoying. Something unique to Vegas that you don’t see anywhere else is the way wealth inequality unravels itself. Las Vegas is the place where the rich and famous come to party and blow their money away. Yet the residents here don’t scorn or hate them. Bernie and Warren’s rhetoric of the “greed and the corruption” fall on deaf ears here because in Las Vegas, the rich treat service employees well. Talk to any bartendeserver long enough and they’ll tell you about that one time when Rihanna came in and left a $10K tip on her tab. The rich come here to live out their vices, yet they are gracious and generous to the people who serve them. You can spend upwards of $5000 at a nightclub and $20 for a drink on the strip, but once you leave the strip prices drop by at least 75%. So residents don’t feel the price inflation. Don’t want to spend money? Party in downtown Vegas, where a drink is only $3- $4. The residents of Las Vegas don’t hate the rich, and they don’t want a “revolution”. They just want to make enough money so that sometimes they can sit down and enjoy a football game with the high rollers. The Freedom Dividend is the ticket to that life. The Staff Last, but not least, is the staff. Speaking from meeting as many of them as I have, the Las Vegas campaign staff are absolutely phenomenal. Mark Peckham, the NV state director did a great job picking his team and it shows. Reading through the threads I see talk about the Iowa staff being unprofessional and not ready for the caucus. I see talk about IA not training their precinct captains correctly, and offices hiring people with no experience. I can tell you, that is certainly NOT the case in Las Vegas. Almost every staff member I spoke with was professional and experienced. I consider myself pretty experienced in politics. There was not one staff member I met who didn’t know their shit. Precinct captain training? The NV staff has been doing that on a WEEKLY basis since November! Sign up for canvassing and are late 30 mins, you bet your ass a staffer will call you up and find out where you are. I remembered when I was considering going to IA and I wanted to know if the IA campaign needed a data analytics guy (my specialty). I asked several staff and never got an answer back. I asked the same question to Las Vegas staff and I got an answer back in seconds. The Las Vegas staff know their shit and they’re here to win. Even their volunteer coordinators are dedicated and knowledgeable. They have daily tables at UNLV, and weekly well attended Yang Hangs. Their offices are clean and open on time. Yang Gangs have houses you can stay in free of charge, and volunteers happily drive you around in a Tesla to get you to your canvassing locations. They’re that fucking good. Convinced yet? Here are the contacts you should add/follow on facebook: Eileen Patterson, Las Vegas Volunteer Director Gavin Williams, Field Organizer Alex Pitarro, Field Organizer Alyssa Monet Manson, Yang Gang House Leader Nick Joke (not his real name, but his name on facebook), Volunteer organizer (these are not all the staff, just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. There are several others, almost all are sharp). Join the Vegas Yang Gang Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/vegasyanggang/ The Las Vegas Yang Gang has a website: https://vegasyanggang.com/ The following are their active offices and hours: Addresses: Chinatown Office 4276 Spring Mountain Rd Suite 203 Las Vegas, NV 89102 Henderson Office 580 E. Windmill Lane Suite 130 Las Vegas, NV 89123 North Las Vegas Office 2815 W Lake Mead Blvd Las Vegas, NV 89106 Hours Monday—Saturday: 10:00AM–8:00PM Sunday: 12:00PM–8:00PM (Note: I emphasize Vegas because it is the population center of Nevada. However, if you would like to help win other parts of Nevada, Reno is worthy of helping too. I’ve met several Reno organizers and they are all very capable people.) Lastly, Las Vegas is truly an amazing city. Nothing beats canvassing 50 doors a day and then settling down to a workout, a spa, and a buffet. Want to Yang marijuana aficionados because Yang has the best drug policy? Great, its legal to buy weed in NV. Go to one of the hundreds of dispensaries in Vegas. Want to Yang sex workers and strippers because Yang wants to decriminalize sex work? Great, Vegas has the best strip clubs in the world. Want to party hard and work hard? Great, Vegas has the best nightclubs and bars you could ever dream of. Want to Yang sports gamblers because Yang wants to legalize online gambling, you can do that too! So lets leave all our chips on the table Yang Gang. There is no other city more prepared to be won than Las Vegas. Lets lay it all out on the floor and say we did our best. Make Las Vegas our Last Stand. And if we win, if we do, that will be more than enough momentum to carry us to victory on Super Tuesday. Nevada/Las Vegas is better representative of America than any other state/city so far, and America will recognize that. If we win Vegas, we carry enough momentum to finish well in Super Tuesday, guaranteeing our bargaining power in a brokered convention in July. I hope this is not the last time I write these posts. And I hope you all can join me. What are you waiting for? Buy your ticket. We’re going to Vegas baby. thank u, next. Note: last but not least, if you can donate, please donate to the Ken Jeong fundraiser this coming 2/13, will help us hit NV campaigning strong!: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ay-events-lv-1215 Edit: Thank you so much for everyone giving me awards! I just want Yang to win and I firmly believe this is our last stand. We’re in the Endgame now....
