So you're saying they have a compensated RTP* then, i.e. they actually target their percentage payout? Does that mean that each player's session on one of the MG AWPs is not independent from every other session?
* i.e. The same way that traditional land-based UK AWPs always have? Such games have always been vulnerable to manipulation and player advantage.
Spot on!!!
They are not all the same, but quite a few are blatantly compensated games, and just like Fruities, playing them over the long term will allow you to learn the patterns, and get a feel for what is coming next.
As for outright manipulators and emptiers, not found one yet, but since these games are programmed to compensate, the possibilty exists that there could be a "steal", manipulator, or maybe even an emptier (where a win can be taken that does not get counted by the compensator).
If I find one, I will probably get banned by large numbers of MGS casinos, or a game will vanish without proper explanation and never come back - which brings me nicely on to Treasure Ireland, launched in EVERY Viper lobby, and then pulled in December 2009 because a "problem" was found with it. The problem was expected to take a couple of weeks to fix, yet the game has yet to come back to the majority of Viper casinos, even though all the others (except Gee Gees) that were pulled in Dec 2009 trickled back over the next year or two. Where it did come back, and quickly in some cases, it had changed the patterns that I used to predict what kind of "mood" it was in.
MGS are backed into a corner. Banning me would show that they had no confidence in the AWP platform, so other than an isolated "investigation" by Prime casino, I have been paid from AWP wins as normal.
Perhaps they feel that chipping them every now and then will prevent players learning how to beat them, a similar attitude to that taken by the likes of Barcrest, who repeatedly "chip" games so that players don't get overly familiar with the patterns, like knowing whether you have that "ÂŁ70 board" on DOND even though you can't see the value.
