    Jackpot factory VIP promo - waste of time?

    I decided to see how many throws I had for the Jackpot Factory VIP promotion "lucky 7".


    I had 40 throws, so I played them to see how many were winners.


    You have a pair of dice, and have to throw a 7 to win, all other numbers don't count for anything.


    Guess how many times I threw 7 out of 40 throws?

    Yes I agree.. I think this is just plain stupid and a waste of time..

    copy/paste/roll, copy/paste/roll, copy/paste/roll....

    out of 47 rolls, not one 7... a bit strange since you would say there is enough possible combinations to roll a 7 with two dices..

    The odds of rolling a 7 are 1in 6
    The odds of not rolling a 7 in 40 rolls are actually not that huge but it sounds like a pretty frustrating experience.
    Now go and play their craps and see how often you roll a 7 after you have made the point

    This is starting to look suspicious, like the English Harbour VP. The probability of no 7's in 40 rolls is about 1 in 1500, no 7's in 47 rolls is about 1 in 5000. It would be useful to hear about other people's experiences.

    That sure sucks Vinyl

    I've had 10 rolls and have won the sevens twice, hope you have better luck next time.

    It is beginning to look VERY suspicious now. TWO separate players have had a long sequence of rolls without a single 7. Given that 7 is the most likely outcome from a pair of dice, having 40 rolls with no 7 is VERY unlucky, but to repeat that kind of run is beginning to look positively RIGGED.

    Perhaps it is just "eye candy", with it already having been determined which players are going to win what total of bonus chips. Given that one roll is given for 1000 credits wagered on slots, this low level of wins is extremely disappointing. Jackpot Factory promos are not usually THIS bad, and the accompanying scoreboard one is at least down to wagering - I am pretty high up this week, but don't expect to remain there.

    That's was my thought also, and I think if this is the case they should have made it a different promo.. It would have been easier to just say "roll all" and then just get the results. Re-entering your accountnumber and rolling over and over again with no result what so ever is really dissapointing.

    Love to hear more experiences if availible
