RTG reducing their slots payouts?

[trips to win]

hmmm OMENIC - what casino do you play at? I have never encountered this before. Every casino I play at you can lower the bet down to 40 or 20 cents.
I agree with the bonus spins on the games you mentioned. The lowest amount of spins is the norm for me too. I do better on Paris Beauty than the other new ones. The bonus rounds seem to pay better. (when you can get them!).
The Derby Dollar game really aggravates me. 2 coins for 5 spins seems to be all I can get anymore. I think I may have angered the bonus round devils with all of my loud hollering and profanities.

It would no doubt be due to pressure by the operators.

Here's another 'conspiracy theory' for you (as has been touched on in other threads), maybe with the impending possibility of online gambling being banned in the US, some of the operators are trying to grab what they can before they lose this major source of income....

It's quite a sensible 'conspiracy theory'. The US is a big market and if there is a ban there, the whole online gambling market will shrink and each casinos market share will also be reduced. Many of the lesser ones will go out of business and if RTG conspires with some of these 'crooks' one of the best ways to get more $ would be to reduce slots payouts across the Board and then state there had been technical glitches and then restore things back to their normal payout levels. The crunch will come when RTG decides whether to compensate players for the "Fruit Frenzy' fiasco. If there is adequate compensation, this would be seen as some sincerity on their part. Otherwise, with the reduced slots payouts in recent weeks, most casinos would have gotten a windfall from slots players with only Inetbet and a couple of the 'good RTGs' coming to the senses and withdraw the questionable games so as not to be involved in all this furore.

There is another possibility. Since the majority of RTG operators are underfunded and cannot pay their winners, perhaps they tightened up the slots enough to guarantee that there would be no winners (aside from the occasional blackjack/video poker player). Then non-payment problems are precluded and the operators can be guaranteed to make a profit.

It seems that the table games ie baccarat and paikow poker have been tightened up too. I have just had one of my worst streaks ever at both 2 games in an RTG casino. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm not sure if it was an update glitch or what. But it happened at Real Vegas Online.

So how exactly DOES one tighten a RANDOM game (as they have been telling us they are whenever it is suggested otherwise). If they can set a lower payout without changing the paytables or reel bands, it would seem the mythical "lose switch" is no myth!!!

It is now my opinion that the tip off & screenshot I received earlier after another thread relates to RTG. It was of a selection menu on a web page, games to the left and a drop-down list on the right against each where a % payput could be selected. The selection possibilities went lower than 90% too!!!

If RTG want to clean up their image this is not the way to go about it!

I have removed all Realtime Gaming casinos and advertisements from my web site. I certainly hope that this is temporary.

I am not easily convinced that something is rigged, fixed or whatever. But I have seen enough to convince me that something is very wrong with the RTG games - and not just the new ones, the old ones as well.

I am not simply mad over a little bit of bad luck - I honestly believe that these games have had their payout levels significantly reduced. In the $850 I deposited in the last week, I did not hit one single bonus round on any of the slot games (average bet size $1 to $2).

Something has clearly changed.

I think an explanation and/or audit from RTG is warranted.

I used to like the RTG's just to take a bonus and lose it, yep I am one of those gluttons who gamble for the thrill of losing. I quit smoking so I spend that money to gamble and I will withdraw sometimes but not often and usually take a bonus to just prolong the thrill but lately even I have found that the RTG's are tight as heck in card games as well. I thought it was just me with even worse luck than usual but this thread makes me consider sticking with MG and losing slower lol. I just wish I could find a MG casino that would allow me to play Let em ride in fun mode so I could see if there is a huge difference but all the MG's I have seen have poker ride or whatever they call it as a real money progressive only game and you can't practice with it. Oh well.

When did you get that awesome run? For the past week or so, none of the posters here seemed to get more than the minimum 5 spins on fruit frenzy with one poster not getting anything more than the minimum on 63 hits. So, Mike I am glad that you are one of the first to get a taste of the revitalised Fruit Frenzy Slot and hope the game stays that way.
