(3)Are you more apt to hit features if you take a bonus?..... unsure imo

I have noticed that when i take a bonus, i hit more features. When i meet the wagering requirements, the features seem to dry up, and i end up losing my deposit, because i expect a feature to be "around the corner". Could be timing--however i have decided to stop using bonuses--too frustrating.


(8) When a casino is stalling on a payout pending, are they hoping you will play it out?.......i say fact imo

Completely agree, the casinos are hoping that we play our winnings back while we wait.

(3)Are you more apt to hit features if you take a bonus?..... unsure imo

not from my experience but you are more likely to lose it all if you take a bonus

(4)On R.T.G casinos, when you see the random jackpot going up really fast, does this mean, the casino is adding money to the jackpot or are a crap load of people playing large amounts at the same time ?...... maybe fact imo

I never thought that casino will boost RJ by adding extra funds but i think the more payers are playing and the bigger the stakes are, the faster it goes. Check Fun mode, they always run very fast...

(5)Are c/s reps allowed to play on the job, while hoping to hit a jackpot to keep other players from hitting? .......rogues will do this i think imo

haha, i was thinking the same. They play and hit them and keep money. I don't expect anyone to confirm it but it must be a way to crack it imo....

(6)When a casino says when you log in that they are checking for updates , does this mean your deposit is doomed?........unsure of imo

In my opinion this one does not really makes sense. When its says "checking for updates", it will download updates for the client version but the poor results we get come from the server.

(7)Can you hit a random jackpot or any jackpot on under a min. bet , like under .20 cents or so?............i say myth imo

I saw an amazing screenie here from mystic i think (spelling?), she hit 12K with 20 cents on inet. She said she was running the game 24/7 for a week... that why i think there is must a way to crack it.
I can search for it later and post a link if you want top see.

(10) If you just hit a huge paying feature, is it better to change games pronto............fact imo

true i think because most likely it will take it back but 2 casino managers ( not from here) suggested me to stick to the same game.

[spearmaster]

LOL... interesting set of questions.

(1)Can a casino switch decks during blackjack?...... i say fact imo

In most online casinos, you are dealt cards from a full deck every single hand. So a casino has no reason to "switch" decks - the gaming servers do this automatically for every single hand.

(2) Can a casino change your % payout up or down a notch or two, while still being around the 96% payout? this im not sure on but i have heard this from other players.......fact, but not 100% sure imo

This doesn't make sense. How can you move up or down a notch and still be around 96%? In any case, if you are playing a reputable software, the answer to this should be no - casino operators should not have access to any payout switches, certainly not on a personal basis.

(3)Are you more apt to hit features if you take a bonus?..... unsure imo

Might seem that way - but logically it makes no sense. There is no good reason for a casino to offer you more features depending on whether you took a bonus or not - and as in (2), if you are playing a reputable software, operators should have no control.

(4)On R.T.G casinos, when you see the random jackpot going up really fast, does this mean, the casino is adding money to the jackpot or are a crap load of people playing large amounts at the same time ?...... maybe fact imo

Either way it would benefit the player - but I'd say this has to be because more people are playing, or some players are playing at higher stakes.

(5)Are c/s reps allowed to play on the job, while hoping to hit a jackpot to keep other players from hitting? .......rogues will do this i think imo

This better be a myth. No reputable casino should allow an employee to play at their casino, on the job or not.

(6)When a casino says when you log in that they are checking for updates , does this mean your deposit is doomed?........unsure of imo

Should be a myth on reputable software packages.

(7)Can you hit a random jackpot or any jackpot on under a min. bet , like under .20 cents or so?............i say myth imo

Probably fact, I seem to recall someone doing this on a small bet and winning a random jackpot. On some jackpot games, however, the answer would be no as the requirement is for max bet and should be stated as such.

(8) When a casino is stalling on a payout pending, are they hoping you will play it out?.......i say fact imo

Probably varies with different operators. In most cases there are reasons, such as ID, fraud detection, etc. that cause a payout to be delayed. Obviously when you play, you could win more as well, so I don't think it is necessarily an issue of them wanting you to play it out.

(9) If you hit a huge mega jackpot, will they pay you all of it upfront? ........not sure imo

At a land-based casino, it is usually over 20 years. Online, with the exception of Wagerworks, the jackpot is supposed to be paid in a single installment - ie. upfront.

(10) If you just hit a huge paying feature, is it better to change games pronto............fact imo

Funnily enough, though I am certain this is myth, it sure does seem to be fact. But I have hit consecutive large features on a number of occasions so I'd definitely lean towards myth.

On the other hand, I also often change games after a big hit!

(11)You cant seem to do any good at a casino, is it better to log off, wait a few , then log back in?................fact imo

Well, this could indeed have the desired effect, and I also do this quite often - but it's really hard to call this fact or myth.

(12) If you sign up to play at a casino using a affiliates site, is it better for you as a player or the affiliate?...........dont know yet

Given that there is a house edge at every game, the correct answer should be better for the affiliate. Certainly should be over the long run. But over any short period, it is possible that the players actually beat the house edge so it's not unusual for an affiliate to have a bad month or two.

(8) When a casino is stalling on a payout pending, are they hoping you will play it out?.......i say fact imo
This depends on the casino. Some will do it with ill-intent. Other times, as mentioned previously, there are other factors that can come to play. Not only are there fraud and security checks that need to be done, but especially if sending funds to the US, things can get tricky. Not all casinos have the same capacity to get funds quickly to the US, so when doing research (always do), make sure that if you are in the US, and are expecting quick payment, the casino you are dealing with is able to provide it.


(9) If you hit a huge mega jackpot, will they pay you all of it upfront? ........not sure imo
That would depend on the T&Cs of each casino.


(11)You cant seem to do any good at a casino, is it better to log off, wait a few , then log back in?................fact imo
In any reputable software this should not matter.


(12) If you sign up to play at a casino using a affiliates site, is it better for you as a player or the affiliate?...........dont know yet
That would depend on the affiliate. Some affiliates are really good people who work hard and give great advice free, with the only hope of you signing up under him/her. Then if you have an issue, they will help you out. I know a few affiliates who have contacted me with player issues. For the players that signed up under that affiliate, it was a benefit to the player, the affiliate, and even the casino (as we caught something that might have slipped between the cracks.

Then there are affiliates who spam and cause havoc. If you sign up under one of those, you are only aiding evil causes.

All I want to know is...Who Are You and What have You Done With Our Laurie ??

[anniemac]

This may be a derail but maybe not. Since I've never hit a RJ I don't know about them. I don't think it would matter if I played $.20 or $20 per spin.

But on that thought, Mystic won hers on Green Light (I believe). Since it is a pick feature game, does it pick the features for you or what if you put it on autoplay?

I kinda believe that if you take a bonus, you hit better features. Then when you make playthrough, it all goes to heck. This is from my experience.

Games of chance, so I've been told.

i wondered about that myself to annie when she won and said it was on auto, i guess it does pick for you after a while, im not sure, could be fact though @ rob, its me, no one else, no other personas, just laurie with crap i have always wanted to know...................laurie(real)

I think basically there are Two questions here,

Can payout percentages be changed at online Casinos without the player being informed?

Are the payout percentages changed at online Casinos without the player being informed?

I think my views are well known.

[zap987]

(3)Are you more apt to hit features if you take a bonus?..... unsure imo

If anyone actually believes the casino can change the payouts of games depending on factors like bonus, previous results or time of day, then it would make no sense whatsoever to play? The reels should be the same no matter what.

(5)Are c/s reps allowed to play on the job, while hoping to hit a jackpot to keep other players from hitting? .......rogues will do this i think imo

While it would certainly be dodgy, it shouldn't matter? If a c/s rep plays to hit a jackpot he will be feeding the same % as anyone else and the casino would be more likely to lose money from it, just like any player. If they want to cheat with jackpots there certainly has to be better ways than having employees playing.

(6)When a casino says when you log in that they are checking for updates , does this mean your deposit is doomed?........unsure of imo

Anything affecting payouts should be server side so updates shouldn't matter.

(8) When a casino is stalling on a payout pending, are they hoping you will play it out?.......i say fact imo

All casinos that refuse to flush withdrawals should be rogued!

(10) If you just hit a huge paying feature, is it better to change games pronto............fact imo

Same as (3), it shouldn't matter and anyone that thinks it does would be better off not playing on what they think is a cheating casino.
