Non-Bonus Complaint Is anyone else finding Buzzluck Casino slots very, very tight?

[tklein]

Yes, all I can say is: It's BECOME totally tight !!

When I joined, it was like all RTG casinos, sometime up, sometime down.

But since 2 months, it's so tight, I never had this before at an RTG.

At least 20 deposits and with none of them I won even just a bit. With none of them I was at more then 2x my starting bankroll. And I dont play small stakes. When I deposit 50$, I play Slots like 2$-5$.

Even the bonuses didn't help. Its just nothing...

That explains it actually for me, because i make also only $50 deposits in every casino (specially RTG) and play only 20 cent bets, but the last month i had also not really much luck in the most casinos and could even never go about my balance, but i would never play with $2 or even $5 bets on such a small deposit, because even 40 cent is to high for this little deposit on a RTG Slot, because they eat your ass faster, as you can look

I think the bells and whistles are only on the website version. I use the download version and haven't seen anything different to other RTGs, perhaps I'm missing something though.

Well I too closed my account at Buzzluck for zero playtime and zero cashouts and i have NOT just made a few measly deposits. Even Christina was appalled at my`run of bad luck` So no more Buzz for me.

To be fair, at least i had much playtime in FUN Mode

Just for the record I've made 3 or 4 withdraws (one big one from my second or third deposit, a random jackpot) and probably double the deposits (50-100).

Buzzluck was the first ever RTG I'd ever made a withdraw from in all the years i've played online.

You have to remember RTG's can be all or nothing, I had 5 years plus of nothing before this year. All it takes is one session on a slot that just won't cough up a bonus round, and your deposit is gone. Balance that with the occasional big hit.

Surely you understand this is going to happen, you are playing slots. If you want the win potential of a RTG casino, there aren't any other places besides Buzzluck that offer their kind of service.

As we all know, the payback percentage on RTG slots can be adjusted by the operator, and the lowest setting (which I suspect many use) is a few percent lower than for example Microgaming slots. So poor payback may be an issue.

The thing with RTG slots, though, is that they're pretty much all high to extremely high variance (MG slots on the other hand are mostly lower variance). This means that you will often get little play time for you money on RTG since so much of the payout is locked into big wins. When you do win on RTG though, you often win a lot.

Microgaming, on the other hand, will slowly bleed you dry with lots of small and medium sized wins. The playtime is more uniform, but potential for big wins is very limited.

Point is: if you don't like variance (potential for very big wins, but most often little play time), don't play RTG slots.

THIS is the problem. We KNOW this, so it is a perfectly REASONABLE argument to imply that poor performance is due to the operator in question using the lowest of the possible settings available, which for most slots is 91%. Do not forget that part of this goes towards the Random Jackpot, so the base game, itself high variance, when set at 91% may only be producing an RTP of 89.5% for those players not lucky enough to win the odd RJ. The difference between 89.5%, and the 95% "standard" to which MG slots are set (within a % or so), is VERY significant, and players WILL notice the difference in overall playing time per unit of bankroll.

Try playing Mega Moolah, base game RTP near 88%, and you will see the same bankroll sapping results as RTG, even on the lowest stakes.
