I look forward to hearing from you.

I thought it was my connection that accounted for the "lag" and the software taking time to "highlight" every payline when you get a pay in the bonus section of the slots.
The other real pain is when you are in the middle of a bonus round, you are kicked out of the tournament when the time is up!
The system should count the bonus round as "continuous play" and allow the bonus round to finish before closing...
Just my 2 cents .. (it's about all I can afford anyway  ) |
In the past, it was possible to continue during a bonus round by clicking "spin" and hurrying the slot up. Now, this can no longer be done, and even clicking the screen to complete the count up, a tip David himself gives in the blog, has been stopped from working by recent "upgrades", as all that happens is the countup completes, but the spins do not continue till EVERY winline is shown for about a second. Win on 10 lines, and sit waiting for 10 seconds doing nothing
When the MG tournaments first came out, these problems simply didn't exist. There was NO noticeable lag, but suddenly there was a step change from NO lag, to the terrible lag that we experience now. This was also related to the tournaments not working over that weekend because the EXISTING tournament slots were included in the "new games update" that took place over the same weekend, causing failures when players tried to play what they considered the existing tournament slots.
Microgaming continue to lie about what happened, and since then are only prepared to say that "internet traffic" has been the cause behind these problems of "server lag". A plausable explanation, and almost impossible to prove UNLESS you are able to compare the old with the new, and note how the explanation is inconsistent with the evidence.
MG also botched the MG bonus system while attempting to fix an exploitable loophole in the original implementation, which is probably why operators seem to know little or nothing about the ongoing problems created by this bodged up fix.
