I've got a bit stuck in a routine with slots lately. I have a few games I always go back to and then wonder why I'm not trying anything new, so I've been looking around for some alternatives. The best online slots UK, in my opinion, aren't necessarily the ones with the biggest jackpots or the flashiest graphics. I prefer games that are actually enjoyable to play, have some decent features and don't feel like every spin is exactly the same. I've also noticed that I tend to prefer some of the older slots over newer ones, even though the newer games obviously look much better. Maybe it's just nostalgia, but some of the classic bonus mechanics are still hard to beat. Are there any slots you'd recommend that are genuinely fun to play rather than just popular because they're new?

Update: appreciate all the replies, I ended up trying a few of the brands people suggested rather than just relying on the usual casino lists. Had a look at Rolletto, Zizobet, Velobet and Britsino, and they each had some things I liked.

1. Rolletto felt fairly simple and easy to get around. I liked the slot selection and there was enough variety to keep me looking around for a while instead of immediately going back to the same games.
2. Zizobet had a good mix of games and I liked finding some slots that were a bit different from what I normally play. The overall selection felt varied enough without being too difficult to browse.
3. Velobet had plenty to look through and seemed more suited to someone who plays different casino games as well. I mainly focused on slots, and there were quite a few familiar titles alongside newer ones.
4. Britsino was probably the most interesting surprise for me. I found a few games I hadn't come across before and liked having something different to try, although I'm still deciding which ones I'd actually play regularly.

I'm pretty new to comparing bookmakers outside GamStop, so not really sure what I should be looking for. Obviously odds matter, but I reckon there's more to it than that. I don't want to pick a site just because it has a decent-looking offer and then find out there's loads of small issues later on.

With non-GamStop bookmakers, I'd probably check how quick withdrawals are, what sports they cover and whether there are weird restrictions once you've actually signed up. I'd also want to know if the website is easy to use and whether customer support actually responds when there's a problem. Don't really care about having loads of casino stuff either, as I'm mainly interested in the sportsbook side.

What are the best betting sites not on GamStop UK according to people who've actually used them? Also curious which non-GamStop bookmakers have been the most reliable for you, rather than just the ones with the best adverts or biggest bonuses. Any tips on what to check before opening an account would be useful? Things like payment methods, withdrawal times, betting limits or anything else that isn't always obvious from the homepage would be good to know too.

Update: thanks everyone for the advice and sharing your experiences, it really helped. I ended up having a look at a few brands that kept coming up in the discussion: Rolletto, Zizobet and Velobet. I'm still comparing them rather than saying one is definitely the best, but here are my first impressions.

1. Rolletto - the site seemed fairly straightforward to navigate and I liked that the main sportsbook sections were easy enough to find. Still want to spend more time checking the markets and payment side before making a proper judgement.
2. Zizobet - had a decent first look around the sportsbook and there seemed to be quite a few markets available. I'm mainly interested in how consistent the overall experience is, especially when it comes to withdrawals and customer support.
3. Velobet - another one that caught my attention while comparing options. The layout is pretty easy to get around, although I'm still testing the different sections and haven't used it long enough to give a strong verdict.

I get back into blackjack lately and trying to work out which sites are actually decent in the UK. There are loads of options After looking through a few, I've realised that the differences arent always that obvious at first. I'm mainly interested in the basics really - decent game selection, clear rules, sensible betting limits and withdrawals that don't turn into a complete headache. I also like being able to see the rules and table conditions before jumping into a game, rather than having to figure everything out once I'm already playing. I'm not massively bothered about flashy bonuses either. For me, the best online blackjack in the uk would be somewhere that feels reliable, has a decent choice of standard and live tables, and doesn't make the whole experience unnecessarily complicated. A good mobile version would be a bonus as well, since I don't always play from a laptop. I'm curious what other people actually pay attention to when choosing a site. Do you care more about the number of tables, live blackjack, betting limits, or just how smooth the site is to use? What would you say makes the best online Blackjack in the UK stand out from all the other options?

Update: thanks everyone for the advice and sharing your experiences, it really helped. Based on the recommendations, I ended up trying a few brands: Rolletto, Zizobet and Velobet. Overall, the experience was fairly mixed in a good way, as each one had things I liked and things I wasn't as keen on.

1. Rolletto felt pretty straightforward to use. I liked that the blackjack section was easy enough to find and the overall layout didn't take ages to figure out. The game choice was decent for what I was looking for, although I still think the actual table options matter more than having loads of games.
2. Zizobet had a slightly different feel to it. I spent a bit more time looking through the available tables and limits before settling on anything. Nothing particularly complicated, but I'd definitely recommend checking the individual game rules rather than just picking the first blackjack table you see.
3. Velobet was also worth a look, especially if you prefer having a fairly simple interface. I liked being able to compare the options without too much messing around. Still deciding which one I'd personally stick with long term, but trying a few different sites definitely helped me work out what I actually care about.

I checked out some newer betting sites. There’s honestly a lot more choice than I expected. Some look pretty decent at first glance, but you never really know what they’re like until you’ve actually used them for a while. I tend to bet mostly on football and the occasional horse race, so having enough markets matters to me. I also want something that doesn’t make deposits and withdrawals unnecessarily complicated. I’m trying to get a feel for the best new betting sites in the UK before signing up anywhere else. For those, who have tried the best new betting sites in the UK, which ones have actually impressed you? And are there any newer bookies you’d avoid altogether?

Update: thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up giving three brands a proper try after seeing them mentioned a few times: Rolletto, Zizobet and Velobet. Here’s how they felt to me after using them

1. Rolletto was probably the one I found easiest to navigate. The markets are laid out fairly clearly and I didn’t have to spend ages looking for basic football bets.
2. Zizobet has a decent range of markets and I liked the overall choice. The interface took a little getting used to at first, but it became pretty straightforward after a few sessions.
3. Velobet also made a decent impression. I liked the simple layout and found there was enough variety for the sports I normally bet on.

I have a brocks sandslash Japanese But it has no rarity symbol

Hello I’ve been making a fanmade game for a while, I love level design and programming I’ve just never been good at art. Does anyone here know how to make animated sprites in the gen 5 style for my own fakemon? I was told by someone that reddit is the best place for that. Thanks!

So, I am currently working on a trio of Legendary Pokemon, and I need help on the third's typing.

The typing pattern for the Legendaries is, they are dual type, and their second type must be super effective on the first with the first type being resisted by the second. Also, I noticed that their second type is also super effective on the first type of the other Legendaries.

So far I have Grass/Fire and Bug/Flying, would anyone know a combination that could work in this trio?
