Looks like the online shafting is set to continue. I have just mentioned earlier how it was possible to estimate the house edge by using coins left to estimate how many continues have been made. This new format makes it impossible, and the fact there is no limit to the number of rebuys can make the house edge absolutely HUGE without players having any idea.
Already, some events look like having a house edge of around 50%, but if players can just keep on rebuying for ever, with 100% of this going back to the casinos as pure hold, then they could make far more this way that giving us an honest 95% average payout on the slots in general.
Players need to look very carefully at the tournaments, as they could find that players can buy their way to first place even more easily, and without it looking at all obvious. If you play 1000+ times, you are bound to get a couple of decent rounds, but those just playing a couple of times always stand to be beaten by players buying in again and again till they win.
If MG want to give us confidence, they MUST make available the average monthly payout to stake ratio for these tournaments. It is absolutely CLEAR that the sit & go events have a payout of 90%, and since this is such a blatant rip-off ("normal" slots are 95%), how are we supposed to trust that the ones where the figures are shrouded in secrecy are only that bad, and not even worse.
