    Same position here unfortunately. I lost £1300 in a ridculously small aount of wagering on multi hand VP. I never even made it close to meeting the playthrough for the first bonus, and its the first time i ever gave up on a bonus. I never noticed the recycles, but i knew something was not right!

    What was the bet size and # of hands played?

    You would have a high risk of busting under the current bonus setup requiring 40xB playthrough (on VP). With a £4 bet, ~5500 hands are required to meet the playthrough. There is a 13-30% chance of busting, depending on VP game. With a £16 bet ~1400 hands are required. There is a 35-80% chance of busting, depending on VP game.

    That's not the point.

    The point was that NannyRose was being ripped-off by Mansion casino with their short-pay video poker.

    There's nothing wrong with having short-pay video poker, but you have to tell people.

    On average they were taking at least 3% more than they claimed they were from the game description.

    This is unacceptable.

    I was fully aware i was playing "short-pay" VP. I was NOT aware just how "short" this VP actually is. It is a different game to the one described, and clearly I (and many others) would not have played this knowingly.

    It most certainly is. Could we hope for an explanation from the Mansion rep. here?

    Just spoke with the Mansion rep over the phone; the tech guys have fixed the problem, and they are going through player logs making compensations. They will be coming out with a statement soon - just wanted to give you a heads up.

    By compensate I hope they don't mean giving a dumb bonus or something -- I think the fair thing would be to compensate in full based on how much was wagered and the increase in house edge this problem caused. If this is done I may actually play there again.

    I don't think a lot of casinos would do this, but I think Mansion is a classy casino, at least that was my impression up untill this software glitch was discovered. Now they have a chance to prove it.

    I can't help but wonder though: are there "problems" with other games at this casino as well?

    Here is a new one on Mansion besides the ridiculous bonus rip off. I was playing in a poker tournament and was dealt the k of clubs and the 2 of spades which I folded of course. Imagine my surprise when the k of clubs hit the board. The hand ended before I could get a screenshot but that was the last dime of my money they will see. I went to withdrawl and discoverd the ridiculous policy of having to send an overseas fax to get "validated". Anyway the second K of clubs was one K of clubs too many for me to ever trust them!

    Question to CM: did they discover that only the Multihand was recycling cards? Or the single line as well?

    I had thought this (recycling cards) was just an idiosyncrasy of the site which reminded me not to play it. Seeing that things are happening, I guess I'm glad I brought it up.
