I see this thread is descending into the realms of insanity so ill try to address what I can where I can :
1. Baseless Accusations Aside the first thing that has to be considered is what is actual fact and not speculation
making false statements without proving them is madness in itself.
2. I see there have been some casino's mentioned by poster Sophie I can only relate to one of them being Guts
Casino the others that you mentioned I haven't noticed any error problems within games : regards to Guts I know
they have been experiencing general issues which are not of the type of error that I'm referring too.
3. How did the topic of New Zealand come up and to what end does that serve sounds like a school yard debate
other than anything constructive.

The base RTP gets reset upon a crash? That doesn't make any sense. Are you saying these types of slots are compensated like the pub fruities alluded to earlier?
And, casinos have no control of the RTP settings of their slots. That is built in by the slot designers. Besides, there is no need to control any of that. As long as the TRTP is less than 100% the casinos will win in the long run and that's what they do.
This has been debated here for a long time and with all the members here who have been involved in the casinos end of the business no one has ever been able to show any of these types of behavior from reputable software suppliers and I believe the cost to the industry would be too high to play games like you are describing.
Bigjohn with regards to Casino's being able to set their RTP Michael Shackleford responded to an ask the wizard question regarding this very question I'm currently trying to find the exact
quote but he made it quite clear that the RTP's can be set for land based casinos and for online casino's : as previously explained (seems i'm going to have to quote everything)
1. EPROM is an acronym standing for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. More importantly EPROMs are a microchip used in slot machines that determine the theoretical return of the game. A slot manager can change the return of a slot machine by simply replacing the EPROM chip, although regulations may require additional paperwork.

2. So we get things right here Let it be known that the SOFTWARE COMPANIES set the RTP when they provide the software that does not mean this is set in stone :
Reference 2: (a) Real Series Slots RTP’s – If you are playing at a Real Time Gaming software powered casino, then there is something important that you need to know in regards to the payout percentages of their Real Series slot games. This is that the operators of RTG casino sites are given one of three different RTP settings which they can set their Real Series slot games to play out on.
These figures are generally 91.00%, 95.00% and 97.50%, and sadly the operators of Real Time Gaming powered casino sites do not let you now just which RTP their slot games are programmed to play and pay out at, so be wary of playing these types of online slots unless you know which one of those RTP’s are in play, and stick to those sites offering the 97.50% option, if you can find any!

Online Slot Game Myths
You should never listen to rumours or gossip in regards to online casino slot machines, for due to the way the internet works, anyone can say anything about a slot game whether it is based on fact or fiction! With this in mind we would like to give you peace of mind in regards to playing slot machines online by exposing some of these myths!
Altering RTP’s – You may read online that some online casinos can alter the payout percentages of their slot games at will, and that could mean you may be thinking you are playing a high paying slot when the opposite is true!
The four software providers who are listed above do not give the operators of their casino gaming platforms the option of amending or altering the payout percentages, and as such the RTP’s of their slot games are set in stone and cannot be changed once they have gone live.
Some online casino software companies can alter the RTP’s of their slot games, and as such this is why it is always important to stick to those casinos that utilize the major gaming platforms.
Far as I'm concerned nothing is set in stone are you telling me because someone hands a guy a lump of clay and tells him not to sculpt he's not going do it but that is speculation
and that's as far as ill go regards to Net Ent and MGS but whole thing is one hell of a grey area if you ask me.

Unfortunately, these rules do not count here. It's the forum rules set by CM that count that matter, and even if you decide not to participate further, it won't shut the debate down. Besides, you already said this earlier, but decided to continue to participate again when others decided to carry on debating the issue without you, which is STILL going to happen with or without further input from yourself.
The problem is that you have told us that there is some pretty serious rogue practice going on where we didn't expect to find it, and then you try to give the impression that these trusted software suppliers and operators have thrown their lawyers at you in an attempt to cover it up. We now have to debate the issues if only to reassure ourselves that this is merely another applicant for one of Dunover's foil hats, and that we can go back to playing our favourite games as before without a serious concern that we are getting screwed.
If we lose 5% of every Dollar, Euro, or Pound that we have ever wagered, then we are getting a FAIR GAME, not getting screwed.
I have not said anything of the sort i'm simply not going to start pointing fingers randomly is what the case is , the software suppliers were never in question , no operator lawyers are in question , and the things I have observed are indeed questionable regarding certain operators but its 50/50 I mean if i'm wrong if its a bloody adobe flash player bug which caused it ...hell of a roll of the dice ..but logic dictates that is not the case .
