I should also note that Slotland will include the bonuses they give you (signup, 10% after each $1000) as part of your WINNINGS from slot play. The only reason they would do such a thing is to try to trick players into thinking that they are experiencing a greater return than they actually are. Robert denies it, but I feel they include these bonuses as part of their advertised 98% payout. (Which they say is certified, but I have yet to find someone who will claim to have certified it).

If this is true then they are blatantly cheating and deciving their players.
The Video Poker games should return around 98% EXCLUDING the royal flush, and more than this when you count the royal flush.
If the game is indeed rigged in other ways, they are still deliberately setting out to deceive.
There is nothing wrong with offering slots - Microgaming do it, Cryptologic do it, etc. - but passing off a slot as a video poker game, albeit one where the Royal Flush does not pay naturally, when it is in fact not video poker at all is cheating.
If they were no trying to cheat and mislead people who would not otherwise play their, why would they not simply say 'Our Jacks or Better SLOT'. It's really simple to do, and no-one would complain....
Basically if you run a slots-only casino, it is impossible to be accused of cheating, as you can make your slots pay however you like.
If they are not playing fair video poker, they are no different from the other cheating rigged casinos & software providers and should be treated as rogues accordingly.
