Lost 29 straight JoB hands

[blubber]

At Monte Casino which uses B3W software, I played 20 hands and lost them all. Logged on the next day and played 9 more. Lost them all. I won my 30th with a high pair.
According to my calculations the odds of losing 29 in a row are about 1/33million.
Anyone have experience with this site or software?

I'm sure this could happen in theory - but I'd check out the 'English Harbour' thread over in the other forum... Showed everything that was great about this board, when a few players were able to test out - and quickly get a good sample size. Not familiar with this casino or software... Post up the details and I'm sure a few people will have a go!

Which details? I didn't use the double up feature like the English Harbour guys.

There was an earlier thread on this. The software is "bent" in that the game is NOT Video Poker at all but is actually a weighted slot machine with 5 cards instead of 5 reels. 20 to 30 losing spins on a slot is not uncommon, but the deception lies in the fact that the paytable does not give a guide to the house edge.
I tried this software in fun mode after reading the other thread, and it looked "bent" to me too!

Slotland VP all over again?

Do you know where that thread is? Terrible. So I win with the frequency of a slot machine but get paid like JoB? The game is actually named Jacks or Better Original. This is very deceptive and I wonder why B3W software isn't rogued. Are there any good B3W games?

Here's the game description for "Jacks or Better Original" from their site:
Jacks or Better

Thanks, that explains it. Nobody thinks they should be rogued for deception?

I have also played for real money at a casino with B3W software. About a year ago I lost my deposit at lightning speed at Aero Player playing Jacks Or Better Video Poker. I have played at hundreds of casinos over the last 5-6 years and only at a few I have had clear feeling that I was not offered a fair game. That was the feeling it got playing with B3W software.

If they're not rogued already I think they should be rogued without a second thought. It's a no-brainer, as our cousins over the pond say
