Shafted By Fruit Machine

[Greigssy]

Just having a wee rant ,was playing @ ladbrokes had £15.00 left in my account so thought I would give "billion dollar gran" fruit a try.Thought 0.50 a spin was low enough 10 spins later had £10 remaining.Reduced my stake to 0.20 50 spins later had 0.00 in my account so rtp on that slots is ZERO,ZILCH,NADA,NANE,NONE,BLANK. Waiting for a message to come up "thank you for your donation come again soon!",shafted! But least it was only £15.

I played million dollar gran about a month ago i deposited £30 (can remember which casino) thought it might be an easy slot to play make a few extra quids to play elsewhere as i dont do those type of slots normally only video slots, i never got more than the bottom two symbols on the main game screen, on the feature most i won was £15 and on the big bowls ball feature each time i surprisingly always ended up furthest away from the jack. I never made more than the deposit on the few times i played it.

On the upside the Scottish gran voice amused me greatly. "Well done deary!"

That is an AWP game if I'm not mistaken? A recent post from a Casino Rep sums this up:

.. AWP games are programmed quite differently. They are setup to never pay out above a preset percentage. For the old UK fruity's the technique commonly used was to have a machine that pays naturally over 100% and redraw spins that would put the current RTP over a set percentage. The net result of this is a machine that never pays out more than the total stake made on it. Experienced players would be able to play these machines and get a feel of whether or not hits were being capped. (i.e. with enough play you would be able to notice if the machine had room for a payout). This forum has some players who's hobby it used to be to drive from pub to pub cashing out on the machines that were 'hot'.

Take note that it is NOT related to AWP's but RTP on games..
