After playing a bit Spin & Gold $0.25 3hd I made it to $4.81.
After quite a lot $0.75 Spin awards the last one stopped at $2.50. Was first surprised that I only won $2, but nice to see that even the 2nd is winning $0.50.

The biggest mulitpliers pay money to all three players — I've never seen one — the biggest for me was $6.25
All the best,

Little update for people thinking to move to a little island for playing poker there:
Party Poker is not operating in the jurisdiction of Mauritius. So it is probably at least two, them and Unibet. Will later check with Unibet if they are still not accepting people from here.
GG, 888 and BetOnline are working so far.
Later more and a longer text about if it makes sense to play poker here.
This was a good early morning, got up at 4:50, which is 2:50cet to play some BetOnline Hyper 6s $3.5. I passed the 800 games and finished today 3x 1st, 2x 2nd and 4x bust, which brought me to a new high.
But still QQ are mean bitches. Raised an 8BB allin to 10BB allin myself, hit my 3rd Q, but the wrong one...flush on the river.
Below are pure winnings, without cash in, this would be about 56,20 more (50 cash in 6,20 bonus)
Overview:
Today my bankroll made a nice $42.34 plus.
I thought I give a shot to a Tourney, $1.10 and had my first ever MTT win. Need to mention that I had to rebuy once and got an addon, so all in all I paid $3.30.
At the final table it went suddenly quite quick. I think I made it in 8th place to it. It looked a while as if I would just make it into the money (22nd to 26th).
On the final table suddenly the chip lead knocked out 2 or 3 in a row. I was at 4/5 and quite ok with it, when the short stack got kicked, so 4 was secured, then 2nd and 3rd took a quick exit having me with 28k chips vs about 144k.
I have to admit it was much luck involved in the final heads up, as I was ok with 2nd I played it much loose.
One hand I limped in with Q9o and flopped the straight (8TJ). Luckily Villain called my allin c/r on the turn with J3S and a flush draw
Towards the end I was down to 44k vs 65k made definitely another desperately stupid but lucky attempt to finish the game c/r allin only w/ JT on a xJK board and villain being aggressor, he called with K7s and I got QA.
Final hand I went in w/ A3 when villain went allin with 22k 97s hitting his flush draw but also an A on the board.
All in all a different experience than SnG but playing SnG helped me to get more confident here.
I am back, after about 8 month. Couldn't just get the motivation up, while the stack was decreasing.
So now I thought, on the other hand, it doesn't help, leaving that currently dead money at Bet Online. Cashout is not possible, I am not into any active coins, I am not opening an account somewhere for this. So I see that I get my bum in some areas where I can use the transfer method, we old guys use.
Bet Online kinda sucked, I used to play SnG only but at times it was hard to get a table full. Now I diversified a bit and play more often in Tourneys. Unfortunately NL only starts from NL10.
Apart from this I could get my one digit stack in GG up to $38 and am now, after a $25 cash in and some more wins close to $67.
I also got me through now to have a monthly prepaid internet service for my phone, so I am able to play while commuting to work.
Yes you really can commute on a 80 x 40 km small island in the Indian Ocean. And yes, i am still on this strange volcanic rock where it appears that nature will be replaced by sustainable housing projects...I often dream of the real green island, I love so well.
We are now in the midst of summer, it is feckin hot and the next tropical cyclone is heading in our direction:
Forecasted trail of the coming storm. Unfortunately the picture is not being inserted via the button.
We had one about 3 weeks ago, which past our island luckily quite far from east towards Madagascar, but also luckily, it left a lot of rain, after the last month's of drought. A bit much of a rain. They had a picture from the capitial, where the new tram and the motorway ended up in deep water.
Seems they have a mall fetish here just opening a new not fully operational huge mall a km away from the former biggest mall and in the vicinity of 4 other maiis and shopping centres... because they think the tourist paying thousands of euros to come to the island to go shopping (instead of buying it at home in a place not so remote and prone to exaggerated prices for imported stuff) 
Yet another power cut... It is good to have new laptop battery. When my first one went to Walhalla, I had about some seconds to shutdown the computer, when I experienced a power cut.
The last one I bought 2021 in Germany, was now totally blanked...meaning power cut, laptop off. Was always a bit spicy feeling especially with a Linux system. But so far nothing in the system was really damaged from those frequent cuts. Now, finally a friend found a guy who is selling batteries in masses and even had one for my old Toshiba Satellite. Nice to have a two hour window again... Well this battery should do it till end of the year. Then I will be hopefully able to get a new computer with my side job I have with a swedish company.
But I don't really wanna buy a new laptop here. Everything is too expensive. Unlike in Germany, were you can go or order anywhere (even across the border) your stuff and get a good price, here you are screwed. You have to pick your parcel at the post office, where the Tax Office will open it to check what's in it. Meaning they charge you an additional VAT on the price they would sell the laptop here.
You can also have it sent to your house, then they look into the parcel without you, and still charge you the above. It really sucks.
Btw. electricity. At the moment the pilgrims are walking again, bring their way to high so called Kanwar to the holy lake. This one touched an electric cable...
Yesterday I did something you shouldn't try at home. 
Playing was kind of like a roller coaster, up down up down, nicely balanced around the previous bankroll amount.
Since Bet Online NL only starts as from NL10 (and my BR is still a bit under this), I tried to hopefully get something out of it. JJ pf with some action already, flop brought me another J, villain was quite aggressive, we went to an all in and luckily on turn and river no K. I closed after this with $21.16.
Another bleedn SnG session, can only say this:
Bet Online: $158.30
GG-Poker : $67.49

Do they always involve fire?
No not at all. They are getting crazier each year and in my opinion it has nothing to do anymore with pilgrimage. The trunk of their cars are filled out with speakers and the play loud disco music. I'd slightly understand if it were some kind of bollywood or prayer music, but nowadays it has to be this disco crap, and their objects they build to bring to the holy lake have to be higher, wider and better than the others. People are complaining that they are playing this music even during night time when walking through cities and villages. Yesterday I drove by some of the pilgrims and had the feeling my car was hopping of the street from the constant and strong bass beat.
It later came out that two guys of our village got killed in that, they were inside this Kanvar when it touched the power line. In the Kanvar they had a generator or must have caught fire and exploded.
This hindu holiday is called Maha Shivaratree here and during the week prior to this holiday (which is actually tomorrow) they are walking to the holy lake and back from all over the island. Walking and rolling their objects even on the motorway.
Today I went to the capital and had a nice walk in the heat. Since I used the bus I used the time to play a bit on Bet Online and caught some crazy nut:
He min raised from CO
I 3b and he called . Bet flop he called, bet turn, he reraised to a bit more than the double. River he went all in, and now I know why you should always reset the chips to 100BB when lower:
Turn:
River:

I wasn't familiar with that festival. In British Columbia the most widely known festival is Diwali. They light up their homes and businesses, and have parades — no flaming statues
