The worst mistake I have ever made by playing Slotocash RTG Casino first time.

Yes that is fairly possible they have imported a few rules coming from Rival into RTG to modified it. Thats interesting though! Wonder why they want to move from Rival to there. Maybe they want to give them opportunity to play plenty of slots game with random jackpot to give them chance to win rather than just progressive jackpot slot. So it is a good thing for player that they can bet anything as they like and it still will trigger jackpot at a rare rate if they are lucky to. Compare to progressive jackpot you need to have fixed max bet and get 5 of a kind highest paid symbol on a payline to trigger the jackpot which is the most difficult to win, it is costing you more to play than other slots game with random jackpot. I think it was a good move for Slotocash to move from Rival to RTG actually. I noticed RTG payout rate is a lot better than Rival, like reliable pay percentage. It is to keep it consistent with what they can offer.

The main reason is that Rival decided to stop allowing the software to be used within the US. Initially this was for new players only, but in the past such bans have quickly been followed by operators being forced to ditch ALL their US players. Sloto moved to RTG before they were pushed by Rival.

The fact that players are actually WORSE OFF playing the "symbol driven progressives" than the RJs is what makes this a "stupid rule". Further, it is RTG, not the operator, that has to pay a big win from such a progressive, whereas the RJs are internal to individual operators.

Players are actually MORE likely to beat a Sloto bonus by sticking to this rule, and playing only the RJ slots.

In choosing which RJ to go for, they should bear in mind any max cashout cap that will lead to much of their win ending up back with the casino.

Perhaps RTG themselves have some "dark" clause in their contracts with operators that makes allowing players to use bonuses on "symbol driven progressives" a VERY high risk for individual operators.

Their loophole to the bonus may be, we offer a list of included games. It's the players' responsibility to check and make sure the game they wish to play is on the list....Once again, making it the players' responsibility to read through eye numbing T&Cs to ensure they are following the bonus to the letter of the law (so to speak). So, the playing of a symbol driven progressive falls back onto the player, voiding out winnings.

Now, I would have been one of those players to lose on this bonus, simply because I didn't have the foggiest notion what a "symbol driven progressive" slot was until it was explained several posts ago. And I probably wouldn't have been 'smart' enough to ask in live chat what it was either. So it would have been a lose/lose bonus for me as a player if I had chosen to play with this type of bonus (thank goodness I seldom used bonuses when I WAS playing. It's because of circumstances such as this that I didn't used them).

Yeah very true. We all have to be careful and read everything before we start to play. Thats the best way we can do about.
