RTG's and Random Jackpots Over The Top? Detriment to players?

[silcnlayc]

I was playing earlier today and found a regular slot game that I played for as long as it was out, reach an unimaginable amount in the random jackpot at Rushmore. It is now over $100,000 when all these slots hardly ever used to go over $5000 before they hit.

What is wrong with this picture?

Now, I went and checked my log deposit at Inetbet and noticed that I deposited and played at Inetbet for 30 days straight (missing at the most 5 days if that much in playing at this one casino) depositing anywhere from $20-80 in a sitting ( sometimes 2 $40 deposits back to back) and did not catch one good hit to withdraw, and I played Incan Goddess and Treasure Hunter 99% of the time for these 30 days because I noticed that the jackpots have reached an unimaginable amount ever even at Inetbet.

Again I ask, whats wrong with this picture?

What I see is that the casino must have asked the software provider to max out the Random Jackpots IMO. What I mean by that is to not allow it to hit at a lower level as much as it used too. The reason I say this is because this has only been happening in the last 2 years I would say, the increasing of random jackpots to enormous proportions and the lack of playtime for players being reduced at the same time they upped the jackpot averages.

I feel these casinos have gotten out of hand just as the random jackpots have. Why the need for these enormous pots LATELY? IMO it is to sucker in the average joe to continue deposting so a high roller would have the pleasure of hitting it.

I really am dumbfounded over this. Especially when I saw the $100,000 jackpot on a regular slot. Does anyone see how wrong this is when these jackpots were shared by all level of players, now only a few select will be winning them?

Maybe I am wrong..maybe I am seeing it in a different light than many, but what is this need for these jackpots to be so huge except for the casinos to keep raking in money without a true % return to the player.


I am still pondering this realization of these lottery jackpots....they used to be fun to chase (I never had the pleasure of hitting one) because you at least got your monies worth playing...but not no more...and this is where I think something is definitly wrong with this picture.

Done with my musings and ramblings...

It seems as of lately that people deposit big amounts of money hit those big jackpots, I can't afford it so I am not even going to try to get no random period no matter how big the jackpot is.

Another thing here is if you read most of the rtg terms, if you are a new player with a bonus on your first 3 deposits max cashout is anywhere from 2k to 5k.
So if that 100k jackpot went the most that person will get from it is 2k or 5k.
Does the casino place the rest of the funds back into the jackpot? I recall i was playing one day when a new member had joined us here at cm then posted she won the rj. Later she said she could only claim 2k from it, yet on that game the following day it was still reset the money never at least that i noticed got placed back in for another player to win. Anyone else care to share on this please.

Jackpots at Rushmore are seeded at 5000 and several games linked together and share the same random jackpot. So they grow bigger.

That is interesting. Why did they get linked? What was the reasoning behind it? Are others linked?

When did these casino owners/software suppliers decide to do this at some and not all or did they do this at all?

Something does not make sense here...even if some were linked as Clubworld (they show this on the main page), they have NEVER gotten as big as this one over $100,000 on a regular slot group if they are linked.

What makes Rushmore special and now Inetbet following in Clubworlds footsteps? (jackpot size)

I am trying to find some understanding why this has been done , if it has and why the jackpots are reaching these levels that were never done before..

All I know is the players return has dropped terribly to around 60% (as in Rusty's case and many more IMO) to give casinos the ability to hold on to the jackpot money much longer before jackpots are hit by higher rollers, which leaves the little guy eating dust all the way around such as playtime and returns.....

I am truly baffled, getting slightly uncomfortable and a little worried on where these casinos are actually trying to take the honest players lately.

Hopefully, they get these laws changed soon so we can have a true accounting and maybe get back to some real honest dealings with everyone at all casinos and some new competition for the ones already online from major players such as Harrahs, and such.

Maybe then the casinos that have been online now will have to change back for the better to where they were before all the adjustings of slots to keep players at their casinos once this is in place.

I think a random jackpot is just that. Random. The casino portions a part of each play towards the pot. On the RJS they never loose so it makes no odds to them if its won at $1.00 or $1000.00. We can speak forever on the myths surrounding RJs but I have a feeling the truth is rather boring and straight forward. And remember if you dont like or trust a casino then move on. They are 100s more out there in "blow your mind land" to choose from. In my next life I will be born as Casino Software tech then come back here and tell you all about it. Until then ... I say have fun try win and dont biatch when we loose (which I do hourly ....

I just have a few answers.

When did these casino owners/software suppliers decide to do this at some and not all or did they do this at all?

Louise posted regarding Rushmore a few month ago. Other casinos from their group have individual jackpot for each RSVS same as iNet. By the way, Jackpot Capital links RJs too. I play at all these casinos and i check when i am bored.

even if some were linked as Clubworld (they show this on the main page), they have NEVER gotten as big as this one over $100,000 on a regular slot group if they are linked.

The difference is the seed amount is CW is 1000 and 5000 at Rusmore. So i am guessing that why they are bigger.

Why did they get linked?

I dunno, may be its for high rollers who play 100 bucks a spin to have fun.... however someone from here won 21k betting $5 at Rushmore just a couple of days ago.

EDIT:
oh and by the way, 100K jackpot was just gone. Oh well, I was going to play....

I saw that. Didn't this person put in around $2000 to start with spinning at the $5 level to try and catch it? How many of us average players can start with a large enough bankroll do this...this is what I was getting at. My bet limit is 40 cents to $2...I know anyone can win....but I do not think just anyone, DOES win...

Interesting to see if anyone else is noticing the difference from the way it used to be to the way it is now.

oh and by the way, 100K jackpot was just gone. Oh well, I was going to play....

Played it too for a while today. Will be interesting to see if anyone on here hit it and at what level.

Not a high roller then? lol I stay clear of Rushmore personally, its a casino only available to high depositers and hi rollers if you want to win one of those randoms

I don't understand this idea people have that you shouldn't complain when you think a casino is doing players wrong. The entire idea behind having an open forum is so you can discuss the topic for better or worse. Nobody should be doing anything with their mouths, ears and eyes shut.

If you don't like or trust a casino then yes you should move on. You should also explain to other players why you distrust or dislike this casino so they can make informed opinions of whether or not they should play there.

If players only came here to tell each other when they won it wouldn't be a very useful forum.
