For those who can and do play identical titles in B&M Casinos and online does it feel to you that the B&M version has higher variance particularly in the features?

It sure does seem that way to me.

For example, IGT's Kitty Glitter; I can play that over several different sessions in a B&M casino and never get the feature but when I finally do it seems I get a much larger payout than when I play it online and get the feature every 100 spins or so. So the RTP may be the same or very similar but the payouts much different.

The WMS games also, very few features in B&M but when you do get one it seems it really pays much larger than online.

Of course I don't have any big amount of data to back up these claims and I'm not saying either type of casino is doing anything wrong but it seems that way to me.

Any thoughts?

It absolutely a noticeable difference, simply because most Land Based Casinos have a significant lower TRTP setting on most slots, especially the ones from WMS, Aristocrat and IGT

On average i believe Land based slots are set at anywhere from 76% up to 97% in small pubs and arcade halls and Online slots are set rather high on average from 88% to 98%

Don't quote me on that one, but thats roughly correct.
