Interesting

So, now even playing slots with a 5% house edge on a bonus with 20x WR AND a requirement to exit with D+2xB at the end can not only be beaten, but in an exploitative manner.
Clearly, playing slots on a slots only bonus is now bonus abuse (the more common term for exploitative play). This amounts to saying players are not permitted to even TRY to win with the sign-up bonus.
This is often the WHOLE DAMN POINT of signing up, you see the terms, and feel you have at least a fair chance of winning enough to make it worth while placing your own funds at risk. This is NOT a "free chip" players deposited their own funds as well, and these were most certainly at risk.

It would seem that Vegas Affiliates and players are suggesting that the explotation was to play "certain specific slot games", and in a "certain manner".
WTF, press "spin"!!! It's bloody RANDOM, and with a house edge of 5%!
The only strategy on slots is to press "spin". We have been told there are NO PATTERNS, NO NON-RANDOM STRATEGIES/CYCLES in these slots. Yet not only do these players claim to have a winning slots system, the damn casino has admitted it is TRUE that "RANDOM" slot games can be beaten, and have reignited a debate about the possibility of the online games being "RIGGED" by inadvertantly suggesting that, perhaps, maybe, in some way they are!

The only comparison to this affair is getting banned for playing and winning on a UK pub "Fruit Machine", games that are about as random as Newtonian mechanics and planetary orbits.

I am sure many other players will be interested, and I suspect the endorsement of the casino industry will make these players a tidy sum and create a big headache for the industry.
If this turns out to be a software bug it will be too funny It takes MG forever to fix these!
