Thoughts

You are not the only one who finds it hard to believe that free spins are played out in exactly the same way as normal spins. I find it seems more than coincidence that 20 free spins often "just happen" to fall into one of those long dry spells that slots have, only to have a few wins hit in the first 10 spins straight after. It could be that the free spins are weighted, so that monster totals will sometimes happen which really gets players excited, but more poor results than expected pay for this.
I have noticed that scatters seem more likely to appear when the reels are consistently hitting nothing, and this might also explain away the poor results from free spins.

I wonder what casino operators think of this MG quirk where you can park an unfinished game but do not get automatically put back to it at next log on. While the servers are supposed to hold the data indefinitely, will too many players doing this overload the memory capacity of the servers and bring down the casinos (possibly all MG!). I am surprised the MG casino does not put you back to the same game like others do. I found this quirk out ages ago because I was continually being disconnected from the casino server, and I "found" unfinished hands that I thought never got dealt due to the disconnection. I wonder how many players have a little "nest egg" waiting in some slot for them but have not come upon it?

If enough players do this at the end of the month it may distort the payback figures a little for slots.
