Skip to paragraph 5 for software manipulation.
Hi everybody---I know I don't post here much, and I know most people only post when they have something bad to say, but I wanted to at least get this out there. Hopefully it will stop some people from depositing at All Star Slots (RTG).
I've played at just about every RTG there is; lost thousands obv., but I decided to narrow my play down to 2 casinos---Intertops (because I did well there when I could play Microgaming), and All Star Slots (because they were "new casino of the year" here). Anyway, here's what happened:
After a couple dozen losing sessions at All Star Slots, without my balance ever going above $50 (usually depositing between $25-$40), I asked them to close the account. They emailed me back with a no deposit bonus, so I played it (obv). As a side note --- as soon as I played the bonus money, the odds swung in my favor (at least for the beginning of the first session). I put $5 in nickel Bonus Deuces and was dealt 4 deuces (1000 credits), and then put $5 in All American Poker and got a Straight Flush in my first 25 or so spins (1000 credits). It went down from there, but I thought that was interesting.
Before I lost it all back, I tried to make a withdrawal of $50 (this was 2 or 3 nights ago, and its still "pending"---no emails, nothing). This is still not the issue, I'm just curious to see if they'll process my withdrawal to QT (Intertops does it in 24 hours usually, but I've never been able to attempt a withdraw from All Star).
Finally, here's what happened. I was left with 275 comp points, so I converted those today and started spinning Golden Lotus at 5 cents a spin. I hit the Golden Lotus bonus in the first 10 spins. I picked the Lotus on the bottom right corner for my first pick. The Lotus became "grayed-out", but I was given the prize for the Lotus above it. I thought "misclick?" maybe, and tried to pick the one I picked the first time, but I couldn't because it was still grayed-out with no prize showing. I still had 3 picks left (I didn't take a screenshot, because I'm stupid, and I didn't think what happened next would happen). Essentially, I was only allowed to choose from 7 Lotuses (Loti?) instead of the usual 8. So I pick my other 3 picks and they're all for 2x my original bet for a total of $0.80 I believe. In this game, after your last Lotus is picked, they will display the prizes for the ones you didn't pick. So after my 4th pick, the prizes pop up, and to my surprise, the Lotus I originally picked displays 100x bet over it! It would have only been for $5, but if they could do this on a $5 win, they could try to do it on a $500 win.
I opened live chat, but they couldn't look at the screen shot. All they could do was email the "tech team". I also emailed the person who sent the bonus to let him know and ask him to close my account again.
Cliff notes: Golden Lotus feature was won. I picked one Lotus but was given the prize for a different one. For the next 3 picks, I could not pick the one I originally picked because it was grayed-out. The original one ended being worth 100x bet, the one they gave me was 2x bet.
Lesson: Do not deposit at All Star Slots (it might be best to avoid all Club World casinos). I will post back here if they have any explanation for the "software glitch". They usually don't respond to emails for a few days.
