I recently noticed I am no longer able to access tournaments without creating a new alias. I queried this with the casino I first discovered this, and they said this was something MGS had recently "cobbled together" having noticed that some players were ALREADY playing more than one alias through several MGS casino accounts.
This is a loophole I discovered last year, but it was not picked up - even though I mentioned it here. I found that at Ladbrokes, unlike all other MGS casinos, I was NOT allowed to use my usual alias. It did NOT say "vinylweatherman - if this is not you......etc.." as has happened every other time I first played a tournament at any MGS casino. I could not even TELL it that it was me, as when I tried to enter MY alias, it was rejected as "belonging to somebody else". I complained to Ladbrokes support, who simply said "you have to create a new alias for Ladbrokes". I asked again, pointing out I already had one for the MGS network, and wanted to use it as it was stipulated in the MGS network terms. Ladbrokes support said again this was NOT possible, and I had to create a second alias just for them.
This is the "back door" by which it became possible, even compulsory, to have multiple aliases. It can. of course, be abused when the casino lobby DOES detect you have a network alias, simply by selecting "not me" when it asks.
There have been many posts discussing this, where it looked pretty obvious that a few players were abusing the system. This was flatly denied by those reps that responded to the allegations - but it seems they were lying, possibly because MGS lied to THEM when they asked about it.
Now it seems MGS have woken up to this, and I was told that MGS will NOW allow players to use different aliases for different casino accounts. Since the introduction of the "rebuy", the multiple alias issue has been far less relevant as a means to "abuse" the MGS tournament system, other than perhaps "free" tournaments, and those such as the weekender with only limited rebuys allowed.
Autoplay is irrelevant as far as the Grand Slam is concerned, as is lag. 8000 coins and 60 minutes to play them. Even the SLOWEST computer would get through these coins in 20 minutes MAXIMUM if there were lots of bonus rounds. My fast PC could handle 1000 coins per minute, and with bonus rounds too. Only rarely did I find I could get less than this rate, usually due to extended periods of lag and more than the usual number of bonus rounds.
Autoplay would make ONE difference though - MGS would MAKE MORE MONEY from the Grand Slam. No resting of tired wrists and fingers needed between rounds, which would encourage MORE continues and rebuys, something far more likely with €1,000,000 on offer for perhaps that ONE lucky spin in the round, such as 5 scatters or 4 wilds in free spins. The selected slot, Tomb Raider, is low variance, so it would be these types of wins that would make an overall winner, and the more rebuys - the greater the chance of being the overall winner.
Another thing that may have happened is that MGS have read (or been told of) posts about "autoclickers" being used with some success, and have decided they had better make this kind of thing available to ALL players, otherwise players might react by AVOIDING the paid tournaments if they believe they are playing against "bots" (not that autoclickers give any real advantage, since they don't make decisions, they just click, and may well miss bonus rounds if the player looks away from the screen thinking their autoclicker is doing all the work)
