M G TOURNAMENTS

Classic-rebuys = classic bending over

After registering and playing for 4 minutes I was booted out of the tournament and told I needed to rebuy, so much for 10 minute rounds. I refuse to rebuy, but I can see MG giving ALOT of refunds if they only let you play 5 minutes.

And I just noticed on the rebuys that your winbox score is reset to 0 and they use the highest score of all of your tournament play. I guess that thwarts the people who buy their way to first place.

Someone didnt think this through very well at MG - or maybe the did....

My 10000 coins lasted me 4.5 minutes at max bet, and I hit one feature.

Gimme a break!!

I didn't even get a chance to run out of coins, 4 minutes and I was kicked to the rebuy screen, must be a glitch. They do need to rethink the coinage on this game, since it's 200 coins a push 10,000 probably wouldn't last the 10 minutes anyway. They give 10,000 for weekenders on tomb raider and it's only 75 a push, fools.

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.

Jas I got the same email a day or two ago. Note the mistake in the top of the email that says loaded and the bottom says avalon. So much for proofing promotions before they're sent.
