DO CASINOS TIGHTEN UP AFTER A CASH IN ?

[wayram]

Had a 2000 cash in at Roadhouse and since then have got absolutely Jack sh----!!..I have noticed before once you cash in they tighten so that nothing pays and if you get the free spins, again they pay very poor...My wife and I both have a computer each, and separate accounts and she seems to still get drops with hers but she has not had a payout....Does anyone else find that they tighten after a pay out and how long do they stay tight.????

Confirmation bias ...

It happens all the time to me in 90% casinos that I play, even in reputable casinos (nice exception is Harrods). After payout I usually don't win anything until my deposits are equal or more than my win.

LOL. Same here but with good reason i think. I tend to cash out after a winning streak. Note i say "after" - by this time i have detected a downward turn. Therefore its kinda logical that i'm not finished on this downward turn as i just cashed out, so it will continue next time. Usually - not always

Or a more mathematical way of looking at it:

House Edge = 5%
Simmo! deposits $1,000
Wins $3,000
Cashes out $2,000
Loses $1,000
Goes on a date.
Comes back. ( next day )
Deposits $2,000
Loses $2,050
---------------------------------------
Total Loss = $50
House Edge on Initial Deposit = 5%
Expected Loss $50
---------------------------------------
Dumps date claiming financial irregularities.
("Its not you, it's me...")

Starts over.

In the RTG casino I oversaw their was no way of customizing the casino for one player. What we would do on a more consistent winner was to flag them and give them smaller bonuses. As for the software went it had no idea if you were winning or losing. Anything more than that is a case for the X-Files.

It makes sense, seems likely to be true, and now there's an ex casino manager (apparently) confirming it. Thanks for posting this.

I like the way you put it: The software has no idea if you're winning or losing.

i.e. no Win Switch (or rather, Lose Switch...) guys! (Even in RTG)

Cheers,

But the RTG casinos can change the payout % for all slot machines (just not individual ones).

Thx for the info phynqster.

I think it's true that if a casino pays out rather more than it would like, it tends to recover profit by having tighter promotions the next time round. I have certainly noticed this at Spin Palace, where it looks like the profit from the previous month determines how tight or loose the new promotions will be.
Currently, WR on bonuses has crept up to 15x from 12x a couple of months ago, and Blackjack is weighted at 10% rather than 20%. This WR "inflation" rarely goes back the other way
