The sad thing about this is it led to me revert back to
RTG which I stopped playing because...well you guessed it.
I have come to accept that all software plays the same and is weighted but that should not necessarily mean the player gets screwed.
The big problem is that slot returns are altered without the players knowledge and it is not done through reel layout or paytable changes but through weighting.
I am certain there are times when I am playing games with payouts set to as low 35%
If the weighting is altered without the players knowledge then this constitutes a rigged game in my view because the player is deceived into playing a game they believe has 93%+ average return through every single spin and not a manufactured return over the course of a predefined period.
RTG, Playtech, MGS, Rival all use this system to control return and cashflow and if they did not I dare say Casinos would demand it.
The most subtle is MGS but since they have cut the returns of their slots it has become more noticeable.
The most blatant id Rival and how anyone can go near that software I have no idea then again I like
RTG slots but they are only a step up from Rival.
Then we have the New kids on the block like wizzard gaming and guess what... yeah the slots are weighted.
I still hope One Day a Casino will be brave enough to develop its own software (3Dice?) and just use natural variance as a means to control returns (It can be done with the right design) but so far there is no incentive for them to do so.
Why would they when they can have a
guaranteed income with controlled cash-flow and not have to worry about a Whale getting lucky and wiping out the profit for a Few Months.
Take X in then pay Y out.
If times are hard or slow lower the return to make up for it.
If online slots are your choice of drug then I'm afraid the best you can do is limit your deposits and low roll.
That or don't do drugs
