File under "I'm just sayin'" - $400 in RTG spins, NOT ONE FREE SPIN

[Jockohomo]

Feels like RTG slots have been set to NO FEATURE mode at [unnamed casino]. Coincidentally, this is the first deposit I've made since I made withdrawal of significant (3K) winnings (this being the 2nd time I've played there).

Started in T-Rex, moved to Green Light, then to Ronin. Played with various wagers of .50-2.25. Not a single bonus/feature/free spin in 500? 600? 700? spins. Really, not one.

It feels like nothing more than the exigencies of randomness, so I won't name the casino, but here I am.

I'm just sayin'...

Green Light was one of my favorite games and the bonus features appeared often. Now I don't remember the last time I got the bonus feature. Seems like a tight game at several RTGs.

I thought id try inetbet casino but everytime i play there notta thing no bonus rounds once in a blue moon youll win but mostly bust out they have that no feature guarantee lol if they can set a feature guarantee on a game i dont see why they cant set it for no features frankly the machines are fixed and i feel like an atm machine.

I wonder if any of this can relate to 3dice post about slots using up wins etc. early in their life which would leave the reel strip barren of wins for quite somtime. Perhaps a useful technique would be in depth research into which games have yet to show big wins or frequent wins and start playing them.

OK -- I'm happily playing RTG slots at a "very good" casino. I'm playing T-Rex, which is pretty much ALL bonus spins, and other favorites. It feels as if I'm starting fresh with these games and I cannot lose (so of course I lose, but it's a blast). I re-up for the 3rd time using their Sunday bonus (you can't visit the cashier w/o being waylaid by a chat window and generous offer).

I've been on these games ALL day. I leave the casino to visit the cashier -- an errand that takes me away from what felt like 'normal' (losing) play for maybe 5 minutes...

Upon my return the casino, I cannot hit a bonus feature for love or money. 100s of spins, across multiple games (in Green Light, they're all red). Anybody gone 100+ spins in T-Rex w/o a single free spin? How about 300? 500?

The probability of hitting the bleakest bit of the bell curve on 5 different slots is not high. For the behavior of multiple slots to change not only radically, but in the same particular way (no bonus features awarded) is highly suspect. Each game has its own standard deviation and, presumably, is independently 'controlled' by its own RNG. Some of these games use bonus features to return almost all RTP; others do not. Some are high variance games: their bonus features occur infrequently, but with big wins. Lower variance games award lower-paying bonus features with detectable, if not predictable, regularity.

The slots I play have one thing in common: that I play them. So assuming they are similar in variance and character is it possible that these 'soft' machines, which all got turned on at the same time on the same day, are coincidentally and *randomly* displaying like behavior so conspicuously? Have I stumbled upon a timeframe (end of quarter, week, fiscal year, suppertime) when these games are, in concert, adjusting actual RTP to meet expected RTP?

Anybody else crazy like me? Chime in!
