Microgaming again.

[vinylweatherman]

OK - any casino rep prepared to come clean about the across the board update to all MG casinos that took place today?

This was unannounced, but it has screwed up all the MG casinos I updated with the new games on Feb 1st, and they cough & splutter again, take forever to launch, and refuse to launch some games, after which they briefly turn red in the menu and seem to re-download. WHY has "Double Magic", had to update yet again!


UPDATE

I have added a screenshot of UK Casino Club caught red handed, note how the old games of 3 card poker and Atlantic City Blackjack have that progress bar as they have become stuck, and are now unavailable again. While the entry flash movie, and lobby design have changed, why is it necessary to re-download the whole damn 600Megabyte casino suite all over again mere days after the 8 new games were added.
ALL MG casinos are doing this, but there is no obvious change in the lobby in most.
Perhaps they ARE changing the game odds across the board in the case of the slots that are redownloading. It would be necessary to redownload any slot whose odds were being changed as it would have to be done by altering the reelbands or paytables.
Unlike the fanfare surrounding the new games last week, this major upgrade has been advertised by a wall of silence.

It's an interesting game due to the low variance, only having a 1000 coin Jackpot. It does not seem as good as Carnaval for cleaning off slot WR though.

Wonder if this is linked to the new-style lobby that Allslots have just introduced?

I hope not. I tried All Slots again, and for the third time in a row it corrupted my OS on exit. This time it overwrote a whole load of system RAM and I lost the "three fingered salute", my display, and windows shutdown.

On exit, it says "thank you for playing", then it repeated "for playing" "for playing" over and over again, even after a complete exit. Even when my display was screwed up, 3x BSD, and a corrupt shutdown screen, it was STILL repeating "for playing, for playing, for playing........" until I held down the off switch.

If MG tested this first, then I'm George Bush

i was having hang up problems trying to open Allsots (they were trying to update?) but I uninstalled, used CCleaner to rid the registry and reinstalled the new lobby (slow and a pain, agreed.) Left it to load games in the background and it didn't slow other things down too much. using XP sp2 btw, with good bandwidth and system is defragged. The thing I really like about the new lobby is the hat I'll get in the mail and the 'switch view' button, but once I get used to it, I'll probably like it. Someone's bound to came around and address the payout percentage question?

One does wonder what MG are playing at with these 'upgrades' of existing games...

On a similar theme, 32Red refused to connect to the upgrade server after several attempts (could not even log in!) , so I'm trying the old 'uninstall' and 're-install' routine...

i guess that means your stuck with this avatar forever as I don't believe I've yet to see a slot based on a blue porta-potty.
