Random Jackpot by RTG Casinos

[guesswest]

I once read on www.wizardofodds.com that Nevada has a law that says
all slot machines must have at least 97%(cant remember excact number)
payout. Shame there is no such law for online slots.

I know you said you couldn't remember the exact number, but that needs correction cos it's miles off. I'm not 100% sure but from memory NV gaming laws set a minimum payout of 75%, if that's not exactly right it's very close. If you play slots on the strip etc you'll generally find high payouts in the 95%+ range, because they're competing with the casino next door and oftentimes advertising their payout as a means of attracting customers. If you play in an isolated market, like at a gas station or airport the payout is terrible and close if not bang on the minimum legally allowed (so read a book instead next time you're killing time waiting for your flight to board).

I'm all for regulation of online casinos and I'd have no problem with a min payout % if there was someway of enforcing one. But in real terms I don't think it'd make any difference, if it was set to similar levels applied by land-based gaming regulators all major online casinos would be well over that minimum level already.

You are right. I read it again.

This was for bank slot machines with a signage stating payout%.

75%... Wow.. Why make a law at all then.

Ban online gambling but allow US citizens to get robbed by playing 75% slots in B&M casinos...

That's why you only hit the ones that do advertise 98% or higher ...Which is quite a few. If they advertise that, they definately have to get their records audited to back it up.

I only play RTG at Bodog, and recently the slots have gotten better. I prefer Aztecs treasure, outta this world, fruit frenzy and also cleopatras. The biggest problem for me with them is that I never seem to hit anything real big. I will get some decent hits ($50-$75) off of $1 bets, but it always, without fail goes totally cold thereafter. Even if I manage to get up a couple of hundred dollars, it always turns quickly to crap. So, I guess if winning a hundred bucks off of a $50 deposit is your idea of some great windfall, this is an alright place for you. I probably won't play much anymore online since I recently moved to northern california and have access to the Indian casinos very nearby. Just so many fewer hassles that way. I do like the RTG real series slots though, wish they could take them to the land based casinos. The other night I was picking the planets on Outta this World feature and got to use every planet for my multipliers and free spins. Got the 100X plus several other assorted multipliers!! Totalled 135X and 10 free spins. Unfortunately the spins were stingy (typical RTG) and I wound up with around $150 for the feature. Like I said though, I like the indian casino by my house, so that is my future gambling destination for now. Hit the Wheel of Fortune machine for $1000 twice the other day within 1 hour of play. I'll take that any day!!

I like ronin. I hit the feature there pretty regulary, but aztec does not like me at all. The new one, realm of riches, I have yet to ever hit the feature.

Latley though it does seem I never get those good wins on the real series anymore. Now I pretty much play rtg for the video poker , as it pays better than mg . I also like playing the nickle progressives there to kill time.

I have indian casinos nearby by I hate dealing with the crowds. PLus you have to wait in line to even get a machine . I like to play flaming sevens and
I hit the 7's more times on rtg than in the land casino. So I see the odds are much better on the regualr slots on rtg than land based. When you hit 3 mixed on land based you get 150 credits, where online you get 200, plus they hit more. I have hit 2 flmaing 7's jackpots on land, compared to at least 12 online in the the last year.

As for video slots, MG's older games you can get some better wins on.
I do not like the newer ones with the smaller wins. Seems you never get that far ahead, but now I would say MG has better odds on winning bigger on thier video slots, than rtg, though I find the MG's video slots rather boring.

I hit a random of almost $8000 on cleopatras gold slot. I started out betting 20 cents and kept getting the bonus and went up to 40 cents and kept getting the bonus so of course I went up to a $1 and thats when it hit. I was very surprised considering it was my first deposit ever at that casino and I only deposited $5.
