MG Inconsistancies

[vinylweatherman]

I have played a large number of MG casinos over the years, and have often noticed how streaky the games and casinos can be. Other than the average and unremarkable sessions, I have some where i can do nothing right, yet others where I can do nothing wrong. There are also MG casinos where I seem to have lucky accounts overall, and others that just suck and suck for YEARS on end.

My worst ever accounts are VIP Lounge, All Slots, and Music Hall. My star accounts are All Jackpots, 32Red, and Purple Lounge. 25K ahead at Purple Lounge, and around 45K ahead at 32Red and All Jackpots.

GNUF I am down over 6K, but had I cashed out more aggressively and not bothered retaining my Platinum VIP status, I could easily be 10K ahead or more, but probably with a bonus ban.

I notice that my bonus bans are almost all at accounts where I am well ahead, and the best bonuses come to accounts I am down on. My strategy is to play more where I am already down, as I am given a better chance to get ahead through getting more boni.

The last couple of weeks has again seen 3 Card Poker heat up considerably, but I came to grief in the end at VIP Lounge with "normal service has been resumed" seeing me get barely a straight every 50 hands, whilst the dealer rattles off straights, fushes, 3ok and straight flushes beating my constant high cards and pairs.

I went up at Royal vegas on 3 card poker, only to have it sucked back. I did at least win the 777 Bling MPV for $3000, and made a total profit of £200.

32 Red saw my £4000 of deposits, mostly on 3 card poker, come close to vanishing, only to have several surges with a second peak of £5000 being where I quit for £1000 profit. Next day it was the store for the bonus, and then onward to play off my £280 worth of comps. These ended up with another £3000 on top of the £5000. Today, stone cold dead on the store bonus.

I am sure next time will see other accounts playing well, and some that played well last year sucking much of it back.

My bad session at VIP Lounge has at least got me on "the list" for up to 2 months provided I don't make a withdrawal. Werewolf bonuses there tonight, followed by my 10% tomorrow. WR for VIPs is only 15x B (in other words, +EV over the long term). I will also find out whether being on "the list" is worth the bother, as this is my first time.

My strategies are based on my belief that operators CANNOT mess with RTP, and that over time things will balance out. What makes the difference is marketing, and whether some offers are better than others. I also know that by playing a fair bit on the AWP games, I will occasionally hit one of the "megastreaks" that can turn things right round, turning a losing account into a winning one. My last megastreak was at Casino Classic, which turned this from a losing account to a winning one. Maybe I will get a HipHopOMegapotamus at VIP lounge and turn this from the worst performing account to one that is more average.

I wasn't on "the list" for long. I worked my 10% cashback up to £5000 and decided to withdraw it, rather than leave it there to remain on "the list". Getting on this list requires £5000 to be deposited and played through, so in most cases it is something that happens after a bad session or two, rather than something to aim for. Last night's werewolf bonus was 50% up to £500, and doesn't rely on being on this list. It is therefore going to be early February before much of this 5K finds it's way back to VIP Lounge.

Nice start to this week's 777 Bling at Fortune Lounge, and this leads me to try to see how far I can get over the 100 continues. Only first and second place is worth the bother, and makes a profit on the overall $700 now required to be deposited and spent on doing the 100 continues. This will be £500 of last week's £2K withdrawal to see if I can produce another 2K next weekend
