    Valid point, I'm sure other operators have bad terms also. We actually streamlined our casino SUB from the previous 2 (a slots only bonus and an all games bonus) in order to simplify the players experience. Obviously we should have re-visted the general conditions.

    However, this was at the time not a perceived problem, rather a real major issue for us as operators. The term was added due to technical issues in our system which needed fixing with regards to the 'gamble' and 'double' features.

    Regards,
    This is fixable, although from other posts it seems you have found out how.

    My experience is that operators can set a paramter that limits the size of win that can be gambled, as well as the size of bet that can be made. In VP, I have seen a few casinos that allow a RF to be doubled, however most do not, and simply pay this large win. It is also possible to lower the max coin size allowed for the games.

    The greatest vulnerability is now confined to those games that allow both a large bet and the gamble feature, yet are relatively low variance. Jacks or Better VP (50/100 hand) is one such. A single deal at max coins would be $125, but the outcome is likely to at least return half that, and often more. This win can then be doubled, and this is nearly equivalent to the practice of making one big bet on Blackjack for example.

    It should be possible to disable this feature for the 50 and 100 hand variants, and perhaps even the 10 hand variant. For the 4 hand variant, only allow coin values up to $2, or even $1, a max stake of $40 or $20, such that a fair degree of risk has to be taken to work up the balance.

    It shouldn't matter so much for slots, as it needs a big win in the first place, and with slots there is no way to manipulate this on just one or two big stake spins.

    I would expect a look in the manual might reveal a way for operators to remove the gamble feature altogether from some games, and this would be enforcement through the software. A few casinos have indeed removed the autoplay feature from nearly all the games, highly unusual, but it shows that these unlikely options do exist.
