My understanding is that NO operator has TOTAL control over RTP settings, but rather limited preset options. In other cases like MG the slots have a static RTP.

But then, you knew all that already, so I'm sure you had a follow up question coming or some other point as Max alluded to. Maybe an RTG-related question? :rolleyes:

Was that really necessary?

Oh geez not THAT old chestnut again.

We have already been through this same argument when you claimed to have 'ultra secret' information for which your sources were 'paid a visit'. It turned out to be nothing at all and you haven't provided any credible evidence to suggest that operators have full unfettered control over the RTP.

Bryan and others, including those who help design and test the games, have stated that there are three RTP settings available to operators.

I see no reason to take the word of a conspiracy theorist over that of someone like Bryan who who's integrity and credibility has been proven over and over.

The accredited list is a resource for members to use when selecting a place to play. I think its great there is a wide choice. If it were to be pruned back it would IMO give the impression that CM might be 'in bed' with those small handful of operators. At least now you can safely say that isn't the case given how many competing casinos are listed.

If you want a list of five elite casinos, do some further research yourself and narrow down what is there already....at least then there would be no room for conspiracy theoriesabout CM favoring one over another.

Again, was that necessary?

Jod is right, everyone has the right to post their thoughts and ask questions, but for cryin' out loud, are these snarky remarks really necessary Nifty? Some posters could say the sky is blue, and you would bring crap up from months ago in a snarky reply. Lighten up for cryin out loud, lay off these people.

Sorry for the derail, but this is really starting to get under skin. I am sure I am not the only one either.

It is my understanding that Real Time Gaming (RTG) software providers offer their operators much more then just limited preset RTP settings. I’ve been led to believe that not only do some RTG operators have complete control of any RTP settings they desire, they could also activate these desired settings in real time 24/7.

In addition I also believe that the accredited list here is getting somewhat watered down. There are presently 106 accredited casinos with 5 more soon to be added. I understand the need for more online casinos then you could find walking the strip in Las Vegas, considering online is world wide. But does the list have to be this large and always getting bigger? Regardless of their software, why not just have a top 5 elite list for U.S. players, 5 for EU, and so on? When I was playing online I usually played only 2 different casinos with an occasional stray. If a session was that bad I’d move to my second casino, and if it continued my bankroll for the day would usually be exhausted after two bad sessions. I’m not sure why so many casinos are listed here, but I do have my personal opinions.

If you’re a bonus hunter I understand the need for so many different options, but it should be obvious to most by now that the casinos have adjusted to bonus abuse and are no longer letting anyone have their way with them with their own casino money. Bonuses offered today for the most part are for the low roller looking to kill time. And should the rare bonus winner slip through the cracks and make a decent strike, there are always the “spirit of the bonuses” protection clauses available to throw at the winner. I think it’s fair to say that bonuses have completed their cycle.

Personally I would prefer a high powered elite list, then throwing a dart at a list this big if I had to choose a casino to play at.

Placing an arbitrary limit on the number of casinos that can be accredited does NOTHING to encourage the rest to "up their game" so that they also meet the standards, and can be added to the list.

We should be worried about any watering down of the STANDARDS, rather than the number of casinos that meet them.

If anything, the standards were recently made MORE demanding.

Being "Snarky" is not a bad thing. As long as it is balanced with normal interaction. Nifty is a knowledgeable guy, he knows his stuff but sometimes gets frustrated, for whatever reason. Then he becomes "overly" Snarky and that is NOT good.

I believe that is the point you are trying to make is it not, LHofsdal? A little goes a long way?

Cmon jod. You've had your fair share of snarky comments over the years.

I get snarky when I see someone ask a loaded question I.e they already know the answer. Just as you said, everyone is entitled to their opinion, including me, and I didn't say for a second that anyone else couldnt express theirs. I just happen to disagree with them which is not the same thing.

The first comment re RTG question was sarcastic u got me there.

The second one re finding your own elite casinos was not snarky. I was simply saying that as soon as Bryan starts an 'elite' list the accusations and insinuations will come from everywhere. The strength of CM is that he has a set of standards and you will be accredited if you meet them. No favorites no appearance of bias. If a player wants the best if the best then the CM awards are a good place to start.
