The new relaunch took place this morning...

www.slotsmagic.com --- formerly known as Jackpot Party.

Gone are the Progressive Random jackpot awards... gone are the Progressive slots Wicked Witches and Life of Luxury too - gone are 15 WMS games from their library (including 3 Star Trek series slots) and all badges earned on them have been reset to 0 (I had 2004!). The online chat facility to talk to other players has also been removed, and their is a completely new lot of Live support personnel - the really great guys of Jackpot Party Live support have been moved into other company departments!

Along have come some whole new variety of games, not belonging to WMS at all - it was the Progressives and the WMS slots that made Jackpot Party unique, now, when I logged in earlier, it is just like any other online casino, and for me, the magic just left me there and then... I have even closed my account with the £10 in that they gave me, because I couldn't even withdraw until I had made a deposit for the first time (a f*****g joke to say I have deposited £1000s in the past few years)!!

I WILL NOT BE RETURNING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN - WHAT A TRAGIC JOKE AND SHAME IT IS!

I wasted my £10 and also won't be going back. Stayed up 'til about 2am playing it on freeplay (I was on a 6 month self-exclusion but liked logging in to free play only mode).

 

Couldn't believe it when I saw it this morning. I guess they weren't allowed to disclose the details beforehand, but I honestly expected some nice new features, not for it to be sold by WMS to some godawful casino operator elsewhere, who have removed everything the site had going for it.

 

I wonder why it was sold? Was it not doing well? Never saw it advertised anywhere (only joined up after seeing one of your wins Daryl!) but it was something refreshing compared to all other casino sites which just seem to share the same software.

 

[edit - happy not to gamble anymore but I did s**t myself when I won this a few months back - couple of spins later another £700 dropped in so withdrew £2400 on my first night there!]

Jackpot Party had a number of good unique selling points and now they've been taken away, leaving a bog-standard slot site in an already saturated market.  What the f*** are they playing at?

[vectra666]

Wouldn't call it a shame as never really won out of jackpot party only had a proggy twice one star never really won although regularly put 20 on a week over a few years. Yes it may be the same all the others hopefully they'll pay better percentages this time. If it's a new site and the first deposits 100% i'll give it a go. If I lose then that's it. Quicksilver.com wad good till they changed got rid of crazy fruits used yo do ok on that. I rather play online bingo sites like Costa as get deposit bonuses all the time

They sold it. WMS sold it to SkillOnNet :

 

On 18/02/2014, SkillOnNet Ltd, in order to continue to offer you online casino games and services using the same login details and bankroll, purchased the customer database of WMS Alderney 2 (operators of jackpotparty.com). As such your customer details have been transferred to SkillOnNet Ltd, ( "company number C50024 whose registered office is at Level 5, Quantum House, 75, Abate Rigord Street, Ta' Xbiex, XBX 1120, Malta".) who will process all your personal data fairly and lawfully in accordance with the principles of the Data Protection Act 1998.

You are not under any obligation to join SlotsMagic and in case you choose not to join we are happy to remit any withdrawable balance you have in your account. If you have any queries, or would like to have your personal data removed from the database, please contact support@jackpotparty.com..quote]

Well I just logged in, and I gotta say, this is just horrific and very disappointing.

 

I loved Jackpot Party, loved the fact you could chat to other players, really liked the variety of games, and of course the slim chance at that big progressive.

Can't see me playing at this new one very often (or at all)

 

Safe to say I'm glad i got this before they sold out.

What a shame, as was said the unique selling points have gone, now It's just another run of the mill casino. What worries me though Is I had a withdrawal In place overnight It's now showing In my account, not there as balance & I haven't received any email stating It's been processed

 

I also don't like how I have to re-deposit to activate my account despite having made numerous deposits In the past!

[vectra666]

the chat on j/p never really worked well only showing what everyone else has won, people moaning, falling asleep and talking shite, a bit like what the Shoutbox was like on here many moons ago!!!

[duplu]

 
I know how Daryl feels. Completely agree with you Ric.  Please can we have our shoutbox back here?
 
bj

That will be up to the new owner

[Daryl]

in all fairness, I never hardly used the Chat facility at all - it was Live Support Chat I was referring to mainly, but it has changed completely now and a new Live personnel team are at the helm - those guys who I got to know, and completely trust have been moved to other departments within the takeover (should I ever really have trusted them that much, for what has happened, and them not saying anything... mmm)

 

I just used to love seeing what 'Lucky Player' had won, watching 'marie09' keep saying every time 'this is my final deposit here, they are rubbish' - well, Marie gal - you got your wish, you've made your last deposit at Jackpot Party and I know you will bitterly regret your witty outbursts there now.

 

As for Chat here, you have it! ...  http://www.fruit-emu.com/forums/chat/

 

I suppose it will be up to the new site owners, if any, whether ShoutBox returns... as I will probably not be a Moderator, I won't be able to oppose it then

[Atlantis7]

I too am sad to see Jackpotparty.com go as was a very loyal player, having no chat option only adds to the disappointment i would have purchased the site and kept it how it was.

The site clearly made money and was the only site i know to have the progressive stars which were actually achievable, please all jackpotparty users give me your email address's  so we can find somewhere to all play together again.

 

 

Got this win just before the closing of jackpotparty.com

so long my favourite site.

 

 

[vectra666]

Congrads Atlantis7 on your win just in time.I had 4 wilds off Glenda on jp and Costa Bingo only about a £100 each time and welcome to the site. Slightly off topic but congrads on the sale of this site it wouldn't be aamusements would it as noticed he was a red admin yesterday evening and I hope you duplu. Stay with the site for years to come.

[chasnbons]

I'd also noticed that vecs, and it did make me wonder.

 

No doubt all will be revealed in time

[nick_uk_911]

I thought id try it as i nver played on jp party, got a £10 welcome bonus turned into £250 but can only withdrawal £100, im still trying o make a £5 min deposit to make the withdraw, the site is extremely slow,each spin takes an age, the cashier area wont even allow me to make a deposit! So far very disappointed although if i can actually get £100 off them ill be happy, wont play again though far too choppy and unreliable.
