Sorry if this appears twice, I was convinced I posted it correctly earlier .... anyway here it is again:
Hi chaps, I've been playing an online game for a few months (Rainbow Riches) ... it's been fun, sort of, I'd played, up to the end of March 31,000 GBP getting back 30,000 ie a loss of about 1,000 GBP which I kind of felt acceptable given the game has a 97.8% RTP and to be honest I was 'up' on a couple of occasions and only the greed thing made me continue ... so "fair" I'd say.
However since the beginning of this month I've hit a real bad patch ... I've played 8,500 GBP with only 1,300 GBP return an RTP of 15%, madness !
I've had to stop now as a 7K loss has seriously hit me. I was guilty of chasing but in my previous experience whenever I got more than 1,000 or so behind I'd get a little encouraging win which kept me going but suddenly it was as though the RTP switch was turned off !
It seems to me that RTP % is therefore worthless as a guide if the casino can point out that it is based on "many thousands of plays" ... in money terms what is "many thousands".
Forgive this 'rant' but I'm really feeling stupid and sorry for myself, I hope that my post is in the 'spirit' of the site.
Many thanks to those taking the time to read it.
