real time gaming ( rtg ) casinos or reps., be so kind as to address some questions?

[KasinoKing]

why wouldn't such a big group of casinos and a big software provider not have credible audits and payout percentages? well, if a casino can change its payouts at anytime without discretion, the results would be devastating as a public record. who knows? was the fruit frenzy incident really a bug? or was it an accidental or overzealous "tightening" of a slot game? who knows?
sadly, the answer to any of the questions posed by myself and others is : who knows? of course, that could easily be changed by anyone who took the time to address any of these issues.

While I totally agree with the sentiments of your posts, what were you expecting; An RTG or casino rep to post here saying 'Yep - hands up, it's a fair cop - were HAVE reduced the pay %'s of our games!' ?

Of course that was never going to happen. Whether their silence in not denying these issues means anything is down to the individual.

Following SlotJunkie's recent run of luck, I decided to play at an RTG yesterday for the first time since early Sept. And I have to say it did seem better. Played a few slots & hit an acceptable number of bonus rounds - nothing mega, but OK.
So maybe they've switched back to 'normal' payouts, or maybe they never changed them if the first place & we were just all very unlucky.

As you say, we'll never know...

Your quite welcome!! And your right!!!! everytime I play wheel of fortune at the casino and someone gets the "spin" I always get up and cheer for them to get the 1000 (hehe)

I can't help it, I love seeing people happy, EXCEPT that one person who slams down on the buttons becuase they arn't winning LOL Ummmmm sir? That"s why it's called gambling

INetBet answered a few of these questions in this post:

Bascially INetBet has not changed the slot payout% for months, and currently it was 94.8% for this year. (this is 1-2% below MG slots payout%). Since RTG information always is kept very secret (why?..), I really appreciate this honesty from INetBet.

But of course while MG slot payout% are fixed(same slot always have same payout%) and the same for all casinos and can not be changed, this is not the case for RTG casino. And from my experience I actually believe InetBet has better payout% than most other RTG casinos I have tried (those with good bonuses). So you never know what you get when playing RTG slots. Not even if it is the same slot, but from different casinos. Several people, including me, believe this hurts the RTG brand.

But the point is that RTG should publish their slot payout% every month like MG casinos. Since they dont, maybe they have something to hide?

i think i have to agree that some rtg's seem to definitely rise above the rest. Inet and Bodog's still seem to have some of the best customer service in the business. Though Bodog's was my favorite, i didn't stop playing there because i had a "bad streak" for a whole month. it was actually because of an insulting $5 comp after playing some serious playthrough and being ahead a few bucks when i decided to quit. their comp system doesn't reward play, only loss (then the comp is pretty good.)

i would actually still recommend Bodog to people because their reputation IMO is still solid, but the issues may be more with the software and smaller casinos. (though many people did experience the payout dip at Inet and Bodog too.)

i think published, audited payout %'s would seriously help rtg's reputation. though it may hurt a lot of the smaller rtg casinos, at least the big ones may have more validity and sites like inet and bodog could lead the way.

i think it will always be bad for rtg that players may feel payouts go up and down depending on what the casino feels like that day. players will always question those "updates" on signing in. huge bonuses will make players suspicious at rtg casinos and for good reason.

these things are easy to address and fix, but im worrying that there just is not any incentive for the time being. but i also think that if casinos like inet and bodog still work hard to keep players happy through these hard times, they will have proven themselves to be the best. i mean, if they don't set a standard for rtg, who will?
