Thoughts on New Software For (formerly) MGS Casinos?

**bb1webs** · 29th May 2010, 07:38 AM

Hi and thanks for coming in,

Just curious if anybody likes the new software?

I figured there'd surely be some looser slots etc, to ease in the new.

Anybody at least able to say they won?

The video slots look fun!

I do think it's a slap in the face to US players, the whole change led us to believe it was more US friendly (at least I did)

and now I'm burning with envy to play this enticing pulse racing variety of 171 video slots with bonus rounds galore just to find out I can't play because we live in the USA, FML!

ooops this is me posting and not knowing what I'm doing, sorry...

I did play the old slots on the new platform like Loaded, Avalon & a couple others and they were pretty tight, doesn't look like they loosened up for the grand opening

I'm a little upset that most of my favorite games are gone...
Thunderstruck, Alaskan fishing, Frankencash, snow honeys, polar bash, boogie monsters (just to name a few).
Haven't tried AllSlots USA yet as it takes forever for the casino to fully load all the games for me without killing my internet connection (am on satellite and I often exceed my fair access policy).
Has anyone had any issues depositing yet?

Well, they DID say they wanted to offer games more focussed on the US market.

I have deposited and played at CasinoShare US, had a great time the first day, a couple of the slots were really loose, like Adventure Palace and a couple others. Deposit was no problem, used my debit as always, cashed out $800 on the 21rst and received it in my bank on the 26th?

Now I was thinking wow, maybe since we have been cut from the herd, lost half or more of the accustomed games, no awp's, no tournies and so on, that maybe we would be getting some really loose games in exchange for the loses, but as in all things, they are the same type of play you get anywhere, but that's okay, as long as we can expect a nice little win once in awhile. Can't have big cashouts all the time. Played the other day and did really well on moonshiners, which kept me playing for quite awhile. So can't really complain, but feels a bit like the twilight zone when I'm there, like we have been transported a million miles into space so that when we explode, the rest of the MG world won't get splashed with our goop.

The screenshots are from my first day.

Ive been playing at the two Big casinos for over 3 years. Wont mention "A"ny names, but the new "USA" format has not only taken away the slots that you were more likely to hit a big jackpot on, but (here comes the educated opion)they have also adjusted the remaining slots payout percentages to decrease your chances of winning.
I think it's a joke, and i am interrested in any comments by anybody who knows any casino (such as Royal Vegas Online Casino) that still has the old games available.

Did you happen to notice if the card processor changed?

The indentifier on my bank statement is different, but would have to check for sure. But it all went the same as usual, so far so good.

Well, unlike Microgaming, this is UNVALIDATED SOFTWARE, even though it has the "look and feel" of MGS, and MGS has licensed some of it's games to the new provider. Nobody knows, not even eCogra, who have validated MGS for fairness. According to official statements, this software is NOT MGS, therefore is NOT covered by any seals of fairness earned by MGS. It will have to be tested separately, and checked for fairness.

One test PLAYERS can do though, is to figure out the full reelstrips of some of the games that this has already been done for, and see whether they are the same. The new provider will probably still be using the same engine to drive the games, which would be an RNG driving unweighted reels.

Adventure Palace is a clone of Thunderstruck, so in a sense, you DO have Thunderstruck after all. It looks like only SOME of the 5 (6 including Summertime) variants of the Thunderstruck game engine have been migrated.
Pity you don't have "My Slot", otherwise you could all make your own Thunderstruck original.

PS - you might be able to anyway, but it would not be for the faint hearted
