Arghhhh! Reels spinning too long!

Well, management got back to me today and said technical department monitored it and there is no problem. Coincidently, my last several sessions when the software was doing this were losers for me. I've uninstalled the casino and won't be going back there for a long time, if ever. I won there before and am now convinced that they are trying to retaliate for this.

Classic problem. There is OBVIOUSLY an issue, but the casinos LIE about it REPEATEDLY, saying they have checked, and there is no problem. Well, if it's not a problem, it is a DELIBERATE FEATURE encoded into the software.

Since players are frustrated, and the games are too slow, then there ARE far fewer feature rounds, but this is because there are fewer spins, hence fewer feature rounds PER UNIT OF TIME.
IF players are having less fun because of such problems, then they believe they are being "ripped off" by the software, since they feel the negative aspects more painfully than they would if it ran smoothly.

IF it runs better with MORE applications open, then it MUST be a problem with the coding on the client side. It has FAILED to do something that other applications are doing as routine, and that the RTG client then benefits from.

Hi Guys,

I'm too nice of a guy to be doing this .. I happen to know exactly why all of you are seeing the behavior you are .. so if someone asks the RTG guys to include the following single line of code anywhere in their startup .. it will be solved.

TimeBeginPeriod(1);

Not that difficult huh ?

Here's a little utility I made for you guys that executes only that one line of code .. keep it running while you play .. proof of concept ..

Cheers,

Enzo

(It switches default time behavior in windows to be 1ms based instead of 15 - this is a system wide setting so the rtg developers probably have something running that does that and so they wouldn't be seeing this problem. Players that don't have anything running that made this call would see it. It's a beginner mistake.)

lol too great 3dice steps in to fix rtg

@ enzo: does this fix need to be running during play on rtg or does one have to just run it one single time?

thx for the great fix. that was what i was looking for longtime now ;-)

cheers

Hi Coxwell,

You want to keep it running yes. (also you should redownload, I recompiled with optimising - smaller version now

).

Cheers,

Enzo

Hi Enzo

May you could also fix the Microgaming fetaure to reset the
display-settings of the new casino?

I played at inet and lock tonight and they were ok without opening youTube videos or any other tricks (both sucking money in very fast too lol). Tried Cherry Red - very sloooooow and could not even load games at Rushmore. If they say that they don't have problems with their server, it might be a problem with their client because something is definitely screwed up.
Too bad because its the only group who still offer normal weekend bonuses, all other RTGs got so cheap.

I am bored tonight...yawn

**AudiManinBoro** · 30th January 2010, 02:19 PM

Titan and AllStar normally offer 100 % match bonuses every weekend as well

I had this too at all rushmore casinos and this reason and their ridiculous payout was for me the reason, to never play there again and since they're no more offering
weekend bonuses with Moneybookers/Neteller deposits and their ridiculous "we need your password to close your account" rule, i know now at least, that i've done the very right thing!
