Just read it all.
ONE player stated that the paytable had changed on frankencash and boogeymonsters. No screenies, no evidence at all.....not even which combinations had been reduced.....which is extremely odd. I mean, if I stated that the paytable had changed on xyz slot, but couldn't/wouldn't say what, how seriously would you take me?
You neef to look at that thread in the context of who was posting.....many are avid conspiracy theorists who find conspiracies in their weetabix, some are just sore losers who just say "yeah yeah" to anything suggesting casinos are rigged, and the rest are those who think they DO have solid proof only to be proven wrong (like where kimss IIRC tells VWM the "suspicious updates" he found in the game files were actually just graphics and sounds files).
Sorry, but its your bog standard "It's rigged I tells ya!!" thread of the common-or-garden variety. You will find them all over CM since year dot, and the common denominator amongst all is that NO proof whatsoever apart from "it FEELS like its paying less than it used to" complaints, and a generous helping of adding 2 and 2 and getting 268.
If MGS had actually reduced their RTPs every time some sore loser bellyaches about not winning, nobody, including me, would be playing at MGS as the T-RTP would be somewhere in the vicinity of 25%.
I'm surprised you would buy into this stuff ChopChop. I really am. I thought you were intellectually above it TBH. I would advise you as a friend to read these kinds of threads with an open mind, and see how many times any of the posters have hit a really HOT winning streak (which we all have) and started a thread about how it must be rigged....I guarantee if it was a cold streak they would be there in a flash. Seriously, how many "its rigged .....I've won on my last 4 deposits and every game is hitting...it can't be random" posts have you seen?
It's really about psychology a lot of the time. When we lose, we look to blame rigged siftware etc, and when we win its yippee this casino is awesome I love these games. See wjat I'm driving at? If it IS rigged and non-random, it runs both ways. Players are happy to accept "odd/unusual" runs of good luck without question, but the moment they lose in the same fashion, there must be something wrong.
I certainly don't know everything, but the advantage of being here so long is that the bigger picture gets bigger, and it is easier to see changes over time. Personally, I don't win more or less than I did 5 years ago, save for the pendulum swinging wider, due to my choice to play high variance games. My bankroll control and playing methods continue to refine over time, and this has probably contributed to me being further ahead at times then I otherwise would.
Bottom line.....IMO the games are not rigged, and I haven't seen any changes in any games over the years, and for someone playing constantly over a long time like myself, it should be even more apparent if payouts were reduced to me than to many others....and i just don't see it. Mind you, I don't base my opinions on a months gambling or even a few months.....some who consistently complain do so based on a few deposits or even over a week, and these are the sore losers who don't understand what they're doing, and I pretty much ignore them, as any realistic sensible person should.
