Cleopatras Gold (RTG) rigged?

[Rusty]

Has anyone else noticed this game playing differently?

The reason I ask is because there are Three strange statistical anomalies that have appeared that were not present before.

1) I have hit the First Two scatters (reel 1&2) over a Hundred times consecutively without initiating the Free spin round (previously it used trigger around 1 in 5)

2) I have not hit 5 of a kind on Two win lines (Two combos same spin) over the same period (Yet this used to happen reasonably often)

3) I have not had a Feature pay over 100Xbet over the same period even with retriggers. (Usually it is between 10 and 20X bet)

I am unsure of the start date but the period includes a great number of spins (5 figures) on this slot at various RTG.

Now the fact that all 3 massively unlikely events have coincided over the same period (must be many Millions to One) makes me think that this slot has been altered but since the Reels and paytable are the same that would mean it has been rigged by RTG to pay less.

Or is this just a case of 3 unrelated events coming together to make for One huge coincidence?

If you have played this slot a lot (Tens of Thousands of spins) both in the past and currently what are your experiences?
Are they similar to mine or are they completely different?

This same slot has given me issues also. Month back it started with soon a scatter landed no sound for it. If i heard the sound meant scatter only. I could not line up more then 3 symbols and lucky if that out of 100 spins one day.
And now im lucky if i even see scatter. One spin of mine i had 3 scatter one on the last one as the reel stopped the second reel spun again and away went my 3 scatters. So yes they have done something to this i barley play it any longer.

I have noticed that when I get a scatter on any of the first three reels, and there won't be another scatter on the screen at the end, then there's no sound for the scatter. Only if I will get at least two scatters the sound is present.

I don't know what it is, but I did notice before that I've only had bad luck on this slot for the last 10.000 something spins. I tend to avoid it now, while it used to be of my favorites

Yes and that is the same for everybody yet it never used to happen until an update.
That is proof at least that the code affecting the game has been changed.
This bug is not present in Cleo's Millions.

That is interesting because now the RJ on Cleopatras Gold increases more slowly than many other slots yet it used to be One that would increase the quickest intimating that many others have noticed the same issues.

Are you stretching this a bit? Over 100 times in a row? Or do you mean over 100 instances of this occurrence? Quite a difference. I would love to see those logs...

[ramones70]

that would mean it has been rigged by RTG to pay less.

Personally I think that's the case. I have noticed the same thing at some other games. Goldbeard which is one of my favorite games just frustrates me nowadays; free spins that suck and wild symbols that almost never appear in a winning line.

Obviously I do not mean 100 times in 100 spins if that is what you have inferred.

Unfortunately the playlog data I have access to does not show the reel positions of each spin so I am going off memory.
I naturally started taking note after noticing it was not hitting maybe 10 times or so in a row.
Since then many Thousands of spins later I have been looking out for it.
I don't set autoplay that often but hey it is possible the feature triggered with the First Two scatters and I've missed it but that is very unlikely.
I am not stretching it at all that is why it is so compelling.

I did manage it on a retrigger as I remember but not to initiate the free spins.
I am sure RTG have access to the full data and I will happily have them go over all my playlogs to see.

I have playlogs that prove the other Two anomalies and those alone are strong evidence something is amiss.

Last game I played was Gold Rush. 944 spins at 25 cents per spin.

Almost 96% hit less than one dollar. In fact 88% hit less than my 25 cent wager and I averaged a free spin feature at 1 out of 236 spins.

I've had better days.

Sometimes it seems like the longer I play on a deposit the worse the odds get.
