Probably stupid query about Avalon...

You mean the $120 entry fee one Vinyl???

Considering you would almost certainly have to use all the continues, its getting pretty expensive to enter.

it's only $100 for me as I won a satellite

There is certainly a need for MG to come clean about how much they are REALLY making on these, to be fair to players, they should not be keeping more than 5% of all entry and rebuy fees, as this is the accepted edge on normal slots.
While a $10,000 pool, if every player uses, say, $100, they would break even on a mere 100 entrants, more than 150 and they are making an unreasonably excessive profit without it being clear to players.
A fairer approach, mentioned before, would be to boost the pool as more players feed money into the tournament, with prizes being shown as a percentage of the final pool, the casino keeping its 5% as profit for running the event.
With eCogra now starting a service to evaluate the fairness of the games, perhaps they should force publication separately of the net payback from all the MG multiplayer tournaments so that we can see that fair play is taking place.

what if they put a cap on the number of spins per player? wouldn't that be "fairer"?

I use the 'Simmo method' of increasing bets as I go along in the hope that I'll get the features the average amount of times.
But that's all it is - hope. There's no guarantees.

Warning - stupid question alert - but I can't really get my head around this, probably because I was rubbish at maths and probability and all that at school...

Say, on average, you hit the feature on Avalon around every 250 spins, or something around that figure.

I've recently had two sessions on Avalon, and am up to about 200 very expensive spins with no feature. The question is - each time I log off the casino, and log back on again to start a new session, is the counter being reset? Or is it all still random?

Am I more likely to hit the feature if I play 250 spins in one sitting without logging off than I would be doing the same number of spins over several sessions?

Either way, should I give in to my temptation to go back again and chase those losses based on the fact that I'm 'due' a set of free spins, or do the sensible thing and uninstall every casino I have on my PC...

Thanks !

If the game is truly random, you should have the same chance of hitting a bonus round after 1000 spins without a bonus as you do on your first spin after a bonus round. Logging on and off the casino should not have an influence.
