A Southern Life

Masquerade Ball

Carnival Season in New Orleans is a wonderful time. Then entire season assaults your senses with colors and sound. One of the most sensational events, for me, is the Nyx Myx Masquarade Ball. It is invitation only and formal tux and floor length gowns and masks are required.

I have lots and lots of pictures to share, but in this post, I’m going to concentrate on the tables and atmosphere of the room.

The colors, the lights (notice the stars on the ceiling and the colored uplights on the walls) everything sparkled and glittered, including the people.

This ball was held at the Hilton Riverside in their grand ballroom and, grand it was.

Here is a sparkling picture gallery of this event.

Hope you enjoyed the ball – more pics of the ball to come so you can see some of the beautiful gowns and masks!

    Such a glamorous event—the star-lit ceiling and colored uplights must have made the grand ballroom feel magical, and the formal tux and floor-length gowns add to the sense of occasion.

    So I’ve been using Craybet for roughly six weeks or so and thought I’d throw out my experience since I haven’t seen a ton of talk about this place on here. Signed up on a whim and the whole process took maybe 90 seconds. Minimum deposit is ten bucks which is normal for US-facing sites. They threw in a welcome bonus — 100% up to $500 and 50 free spins on Gates of Olympus. Wagering was 35x which could be lower but not the worst I’ve seen.

    The game library is decent honestly. There’s games from Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, plus Big Time Gaming — meaning Book of Dead, Starburst, all the popular ones. Somewhere around a couple thousand titles total if you count everything. The live dealer section runs on Evolution and it’s smooth — tried baccarat and Crazy Time with real dealers and had no complaints.

    Tbh the thing that annoyed me a little was how long cashouts take. Withdrew via Bitcoin and waited like a day and a half for my first withdrawal. Second time around things sped up. Payment options include credit cards, Skrill, Neteller, and crypto which covers most bases. I’d check out the full bonus details over at Craybet to see for yourself.

    Using Craybet from my iPhone is actually smooth. No dedicated app but the mobile site loads fast and all the games load without issues. Was playing some slots in bed and didn’t notice any lag or glitches.

    Support at Craybet is decent — live chat that gets you a person within a few minutes usually. Had to ask about a pending withdrawal and it was resolved within hours. I think they’re Curacao licensed which is typical of US-friendly sites. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect — the bonus wagering could be lower — but as a daily player I keep coming back.

    Been messing around on Craybet for like two months now and thought I’d throw out some thoughts since I haven’t seen much discussion about them around here. Registered on a whim and signing up literally took a couple minutes. Min deposit was $10 and that’s pretty standard. They threw in a sign-up bonus — 100% up to $500 plus 50 free spins on Sweet Bonanza. Wagering was 35 times the bonus which isn’t amazing but it’s manageable.

    Game selection is honestly pretty solid. There’s titles from Pragmatic Play, Evolution, plus Microgaming — meaning Gates of Olympus, Starburst, the usual heavy hitters. Somewhere around 1500-2000 slots when you add it all up. Live dealer stuff runs on Evolution and it’s quality — tried baccarat and Crazy Time with real dealers and had no complaints.

    One thing that kinda bugged me was how long cashouts take. I used Visa and it took like a day and a half the first time. Second time around it was faster. You can use credit cards, e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, and crypto so that covers pretty much everything you’d want. I’d look at the full bonus details over at Craybet before you sign up.

    Using Craybet on mobile worked better than expected. There’s no app to download — the mobile site runs well and slots and live games work no problem. Played Book of Dead on my commute and no lag or glitches.

    Customer service on Craybet is alright — live chat that gets you a person within a few minutes usually. Had to ask about a pending withdrawal and got it fixed within hours. Not sure about operating under a Curacao license and that’s standard for offshore casinos. Wouldn’t say it’s perfect — the bonus wagering could be lower — but for what it is I’m still using it.

    This discussion feels well-rounded and approachable since the topic is explained with clarity while still leaving room for different perspectives and opinions.

    So I’ve been using Craybet for roughly two months now and thought I’d throw out what I think since I haven’t seen many posts about them around here. I signed up on a whim and signing up was like 90 seconds. Minimum deposit is $10 which is normal for US-facing sites. They threw in a welcome bonus — matched my first deposit 100% up to 500 and fifty free spins on Sweet Bonanza. Playthrough requirements were 35 times the bonus which isn’t amazing but it’s manageable.

    Their slots catalog is decent honestly. There’s stuff from Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, and Play’n GO — meaning Gates of Olympus, Gonzo’s Quest, all the popular ones. I’d guess maybe 2000 games total if you count everything. Live casino is powered by Evolution and it’s legit — tried roulette and Lightning Roulette with real dealers and it worked great.

    Tbh the thing I wasn’t thrilled about was payout speed. Withdrew via Visa and it took like a day and a half for my first withdrawal. Second time around it dropped to like 24 hours. They accept Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, and crypto which is pretty much everything you’d want. I’d look at what they’ve got going on over at svnewtech to see for yourself.

    Using Craybet on my phone is actually smooth. No dedicated app though the mobile site is responsive and slots and live games work no problem. I played some slots on the bus and no lag or glitches.

    Customer service on Craybet has been alright — there’s a chat widget that gets you a person pretty quick when I’ve used it. I contacted them about a bonus that didn’t credit and they sorted it pretty quickly. Licensing is Curacao licensed which is what most offshore casinos. It’s not flawless — wish they had more payment options — but overall I keep coming back.

    Been using Craybet for like a couple months and thought I’d throw out what I think since there isn’t a ton of talk about this place in this forum. Registered randomly one night and signing up was like a couple minutes. Starting deposit was $10 and that’s about what you’d expect. Got a welcome bonus — 100 percent match to $500 and 50 free spins on Sweet Bonanza. Rollover is 35 times the bonus which isn’t amazing but it’s manageable.

    Game selection is bigger than I expected. You’ll find stuff from Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, plus Big Time Gaming — so like Gates of Olympus, Starburst, that kind of thing. Probably close to 1500-2000 slots including table games. The live dealer section uses Evolution and it’s smooth — tried roulette and Lightning Roulette with real dealers and it worked great.

    Now the one thing that annoyed me a little was payout speed. I used Skrill and it took like a day and a half for my first withdrawal. Once you’re verified though it was faster. You can use credit cards, e-wallets like Skrill and Neteller, and crypto which covers pretty much everything you’d want. I’d look at their current offers on Craybet review if you’re interested.

    Mobile experience on Craybet on my phone is actually smooth. There’s no app to download but the mobile site runs well and everything works fine. Was playing some slots in bed and no lag or glitches.

    Customer service on Craybet is alright — there’s a chat widget that gets you a person pretty quick usually. Had to ask about a pending withdrawal and got it fixed same day. Licensing is Curacao-based from what I can tell and that’s standard for platforms like this. Not everything is amazing — promo codes seem rare — but for what it is I’m still using it.

    Support at Craybet has been okay — live chat that actually connects within a few minutes usually. Had to ask about my verification docs and got it fixed same day. Not sure about operating under a Curacao license and that’s standard for US-friendly sites. Not everything is amazing — the bonus wagering could be lower — but for what it is it does the job for me.
