is it just me or have you (microgaming)

[rockycatt]

is it just me /or have i had better than fair session's in the past , in the past i always felt that in a acceptable time range that i could cash out even . up 100% or down a fraction from my deposite

Now last 4 or five sessions its been dry gulch .ghost town, nada .no hope

i must say Pryor to this i felt it was like putting money in the bank because my losses were directly related to me coming from a winning position in my sessions either for more pleasure play or taking a conscious shot to get a big score

could they have rotated the liquidity of my favorite games to another group that i must ferret out [ inspector CATT at your service )

No, Micro has been good for me lately.
I was out of playbudget, so I joined some tourneys to see if I could win any.
Won 7,50 in Nedplay's Avalon tourney and got it up to 150, played most of it back and cashed out 60.
Then I got lucky at Spin Palace playing their 100% new month bonus tuesday, put in 30, cashed 225.
Mostly Centre Court and BDBA.
Yesterday I cashed out 120 at 32RED from a 10 deposit, so no complaints here.
Rival and RTG, thats a different story..

The sensible bit of me who understands how slots and gambling in general works, tells me that there's just a house edge there... That's it - sometimes you have a good session, sometimes you don't. Sometimes you get a lot of good sessions in a row, sometimes you get some bad ones.

I know this. I understand it.

I'm with you though; sometimes after some good wins - it feels like the whole of Microgaming is ganging up on you, dangling you upside down by your legs and shaking every last penny out of your pockets and the fillings out of your teeth. Flipping you back over - ripping the shirt off your back and violating you with a broken broom handle. Then casually strolling off. Laughing.

I have to just keep reminding myself that, when slots are absolutely and openly -- blatantly set out to cheat you out of your money, what on earth is the point of making it any more complicated?

It is, I think, all psychology. The euphoria of a fleeting big win then elongates and exacerbates the duration and emotion of the subsequent inevitable loss.

ok I'm treasure hunter at heart and i bounce/bounced around /and i found solid returns on these games fortune lounge,international games the cruise one, agent Jane blond, reel fishing, kathmandu, and what was good about these was that there all small line games so I'm wondering if
Th engineers /man behind the curtain phantom guy rotates the cycle of winning machines to level out the game play on all machines [just a thought ]

because I'm thinking that there's work for these people to do on a daily basis
or everyone in the world would own a casino on line ,[like rotating food in a grocery store shelf :noteworthy

now this is only fun thinking remember that your pal rocky

I have been getting spanked from M/G lately, no bonus rounds and when the odd one comes its only been 10x or so......

Great session at Red Flush recently, around £6,000 - AND I managed to find the cash-out button in time

32Red, bets of 0.09p and 0.18p on Thunderstruck clones, and they are paying well. 100% over 82K spins (Slotsmeister, eat your heart out sjn)

I will probably get a session soon where nothing goes right, this seems to be what happens at Microgaming. The games are either friendly or evil, rarely do they tick along close to the House Edge.

This forum has had this for years, one month all is well at MG, and the next all is NOT. We have more softwares to choose from now, with more being developed all the time. MGS could lose it's dominance of the market, especially now that the myth of players' funds being protected by MGS has been blown out of the water.

How many 'sets of five' Sheep/Strippers/BeachRings/Crosshairs/Trumpets you snagged?

Based on your usual average, I'd guess around 410

Oddly enough, these ALL came during a short spell of three months, and all but one at Casino Action. Since then, I have had only ONE set of Lara scatters in a $60 Tomb Raider tournament (the wrong one, too).

I have had 5 squirrels on Cabin Fever once, and 5 biscuits on Munchkins a couple of times.

I have had the Jackpot on 5 Reel Drive ONCE, but in FUN MODE

I have had jackpots twice on Carnaval, twice on Diamond Deal, and Once on Spectacular Wheel of Wealth (3 reel).

I have had more Jackpots than I can remember on Treasure Ireland

I find MG slots are still paying ok as long as you move around a lot, quite often I am seeing the bonus rounds either in the first 20 spins or watching the bankroll shrink waiting for them to hit.

I suppose everyone has there own favourite hardcore of a dozen slots they will always concentrate on, hoping for a repeat of previous experiences.
Personally I try to vary the play, particularly at the start of a session, I wonder how many people always open a session with the same slot, hoping to get off to a flyer. As always prudence and patience oh and lots of luck is what wins the day.

I can't see MG's dominance been broken for a very long time, if at all.
Quite likely the platform that does eventually end their dominance hasn't even been invented yet, something better always comes along eventually although MG has been there pretty much from the start.

In 1999 it was almost inconceivable to think that ICQ would have its dominance of the online messenger and chat programs broken, low and behold a decade later its a lightweight, met with comments like oh I remember that!

Well, 110K in the Slotsmeister, cashed out with £110 profit, and am STILL going strong on the £60 I left behind. This is micro betting though, absolute minimum on Thunderstruck & clones. This is a VERY long spell of 100%+ overall payout, so in this case MGS is performing VERY well indeed. I know how FAST these particular games can suck money, even at 9p bets, when they turn nasty. I have had £100 polished off in 7000 spins at 9p before in the Slotsmeister.

I bet things would be different at £45 a spin
