Rival sots, how can you stand them?

[Rusty]

Rival slots have to be the worse and tightest on the net.
They make RTG look like the real deal!
How anyone can give them their own money after understanding how they play is beyond me.
I only play free money now just to prove how crooked they are.
How about my latest stats following from the last rip off at Rival.

231 spins
6 spins yielding higher than bet
highest win on spin X5
1 feature triggered
Feature win X5
Payout 18%

How can that be possible if the slots are not weighted?
How can you see Two scatters every other spin but 3 Once in a Blue moon?
Yes you can hit some big wins on the feature but only after you have been slaughtered.
I do not see the fun in playing hundreds of spins where you can not possibly win in the hope that they will decide to give you your money back when you hit the feature.

By the way Rival my open letter still stands for you to explain my stats and show how your slots make up the return you claim.

Strange that you might ask....

Rival sots, how can you stand them?

This week, there has been 2 strange "updates" on all games and one update on the casino itself with no new games...whether that had anything to do with the play I received just recently which is ...none to nil...all of a sudden...I am wondering if the "switch" has been hit

I love their games, but when an update is performed on all games and then next day another update on the loading of the casino, and then another the following day again on the games, one has to wonder the reasoning why....
I guess it's just my imagination (paranoia (sp)?

Rusty,

While I have been doing well at Rival slots lately, I do find it irritating when a slot is simply dead and it does not seem to be only variance. I have had dreadful runs at several of the slots but there seems to be only one at each casino. No matter how low I bet there were no features after $60-$80 worth of $0,15/0.20 spins at Hobo's Hoard, Cleopatra's Coins and Travel Bug each at a different casino. I tend to think that if you play enough spins you recoup most your wagers back and that usually works but when they are really dead you get less than 35% payout for a prolonged period and that just sucks.

That is why Ive uninstalled all Rivals. If it wasnt fro this fluke of a win at Superior I wouldnt have any of them

Superior has been pretty good to me so far so no complaints so far on this particular one. My past experience with Rival is that as soon as I win and cashout, I start losing fast but this isnt the case so far. Ive still been hitting nice hits even after cashing out.

I still havnt made a decision yet, I need more time.

That is my problem with them, they can not be unweighted unless the feature accounts for 70%+ of the payouts which is absurd.
It is not unusual to get between 15& and 40% payback even when hitting the features.
The reason they do not attempt to explain their slot mechanics is because there is no explanation other than they are weighted.

Which slot are you playing? I wouldn't be surprised if the features on ATRT3 are over 70% of the payback. Rival have some VERY high variance slots where your stats look normal, either you hit nothing for a long time or you get 500x bet.

I dont understand the updates this week either.I play only video poker on the rival sites,and doing pretty well.Now since the updates,it has went down hill fast.I have been hitting four of a kind alot,and now that has all gone south.Seems odd to me that it just changed since the updates,and ive been playing there for months,with some success.Does anyone else play video poker at rival?If so has anyone ever hit a royal there?My wife and i have hit 6 royals on the rtg sites in about 5 months,all for only 5 cents,but still we have hit them.Ive played thousands of hands at rival,and no royals.Im not sure they will ever hit on there software.
