I'm new to online casino gambling and I have a question that may seem stupid.

[Addisyn]

And welcome Scounselor! There are no stupid questions in my book. I ask a lot of questions so don't feel shy.

Cash out when you win!

Going out on a limb here, of course this is just my opinion (I'm sure everyone will disagree)....but I DO think they are rigged. It's funny that when I take a bonus, (I don't do it very often) I get right up until I almosttttttt get past the 30x playthrough and bang, my money goes down down down......

That's not to say I have never won at a casino, or with a bonus, but yes I do think they are rigged. It's a machine, you can set a machine to however you want to set it. Yes, I know they supposidly can get into big trouble for doing that, and the good casinos get checked out all the time, but I still have my doubts.

Even casinos at Las Vegas get into trouble for doing that, so I'm assuming the ones online have also tried, or keep trying.

I think most of here would argue that MG casinos are not rigged.
We all have swings of good & bad luck - and that's all it is.
If anyone is interested I have uploaded 3 of my MG play logs onto my site (on the "Beginners guide to Slots" page) which show 3 contrasting runs of fortune:

A great winning run; $100 deposit led to $800 withdrawal – and I wagered more than 2x the WR!
A miracle recovery! $225 start crashed right down to $1.07, but recovered to cash out $200 profit!
A diabolical losing session: $240 start (100% bonus) – total blow out not even half way to WR.

(Hope the mods don't mind me posting this - if so just delete this post!)

If it is a Microgaming casino, the operator does not have control over the play of any of the machines - ie. there is no "switch". Other casinos/softwares, can't be too sure.

We are all aware that RTG slots can be set to three payout % levels...

Well here is some news that I'm sure not many know & if they do, they're kept in under the covers for years.

MG casinos can also adjust their payout % levels on slots too!

Up until a few weeks ago I would have never believed it, but this came from someone who has a solid reputation & has been in the industry for years.

Hmm thats quite a statement Trezz. I made some enquiries on this a while back and was told that an MG "installation" is standard and cannot be altered. Time to do some more digging

WOW - I am so shocked.

Next you will be trying to tell us that Diana wasn't really killed in an accident!!

Of course not, she's working at a 7-11 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Elvis is the store manager.

Well I for one think the casinos do have a handle they can pull to change the odds midstream. They only have to do it for a little while so as not to fiddle with their payout ratings for the month.

I just hit free spins on Thunderstruck. 15 free spins not one hit. Then I hit free spins on Tomb Raider. 10 spins one small hit. I hit free spins on Moonshine came away with $3.30 on 8 spins with a multipler of 3x. Huh? Same MG casino. Way too coincidental for me!

Or I am just bitter I didn't hit a damn thing!

[Simmo!]

I've been told by more than one "reliable" source that MG casinos cannot do this and I'm pretty sure in all the years they have been operating we'd have found out by now if they could. I also think it would probably reflect in the audited game payouts on a regular basis if they could. Just my own personal belief

That's crazy....!

I didn't know there was a 7-11 in Pine Bluff.
