Is this a issue?

[W|nd0wPa|n]

I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else at Inter after a big hit on the slots? Please PM me if you have.
They do have a policy in there terms and conditions saying they can shut off a game to a player but i kinda took it as a player that was abusing that game.
But in the end i hope after the last email from them that they are not finished with this issue.
And after this is finished i would hope they put this policy some where on there site so we as slotsters know that when we hit a certain limit on a certain game it will be shut off.
Because i have wagered over $100,000 in the last two weeks and if i have no chance of hitting on some game to make some back then what am i doing there.

Let me take this a bit further.

In Las Vegas, it is not unusual for a machine to lock up after a big win. For example, if someone hits a jackpot, the machine locks up - the attendant comes over and reads the data, calls someone else to verify the data, then the machine is unlocked and the person paid. Same thing happens with video poker wins over a certain amount.

This is exactly what I was talking about (though I was using a card reference) way back in ...

Since everyone seems to like comparing online casinos to B&M ones, what's the difference between this online casino doing this and a B&M casino switching dealers, cutting a shoe off early and forcing a reshuffle ... or, in the extreme, just telling a winning player that s/he is not welcome at their casino?

If it's a big enough win, it may be more than just a few minutes before the machine is unlocked. The casino may, in fact, take it off the casino floor to be inspected and make sure it hasn't been tampered with.

Of course, spear simply said it better than me.

LOL, I must've skimmed that part... but you did remind me of something I was going to say:

Casinos have every right to refuse your business at any time for any reason, provided that they pay all amounts due up to that point. This is the same online as it is offline.

In Vegas, if your action is not welcome (usually happens at the blackjack tables), you will be asked to leave the table, and then either escorted out of the casino with a warning that future entry will not be permitted, or else told that you are welcome in the casino but not at the blackjack tables.

In some casinos, they spot people who sit around and drink, only sticking a nickel into the slot machine when the waitress is nearby. These people are also escorted out of the casino.

And - believe it or not - bonus hunters too are escorted out of the casino - if staff spot a player who only plays bonus machines visibly in certain high states, they will also escort these players out.

In short - it's the casino's right to do so for whatever reason they feel like, especially as it is private property.

There is no difference online. You are not guaranteed the right to access the casino servers at any time, nor are you guaranteed the availability of any particular game.

As long as they are paying what is due to you, and not manipulating the results, we as players don't have much right to argue.

But, like I said elsewhere, probably in another thread LOL - ultimately you, the player, have the greatest weapon of all - the right to decide whether you will play or not. And, as I said elsewhere, if you don't like the rules at the establishment, don't play.

I've never seen a machine taken off the floor... LOL... in Vegas that would probably require the presence of a gaming board representative...

One last thing - if you've ever been to Vegas, the one thing you notice the most as you walk about or play in the casino, is the sound of a bell clanging endlessly until an attendant shuts it off, usually accompanied by much screaming and yelling from some yahoo who just hit a jackpot of sorts. That is also a sure sign that the machine has been locked up... LOL...
