Another nail in the online casino coffin?

[SlotsBlogger]

Hey all

I play a fair bit of live games (Roulette, baccarat), I've now noticed as of today that the 'autoplay' feature on roulette (certainly evolution) has now gone! I don't use the feature a great deal but it was dead handy when grosvernor (my main online casino) ran roulette tournaments. You stick the minimum bet on red/black, set the autoplay to 100 spins and get on with your day while it did it's thing. Now if they run another tournament, i'd have to sit in front of my laptop manually spinning which is really inconvenient and yet another pain point gambling online.

The only other place I play is Party Casino and the auto feature is gone there too.

Anybody else use this feature? or even bothered if it's been removed?

Sounds like regulatory change, as there is no way that casinos are removing auto-play out of the goodness of their heart. I haven't seen any announcements about this, so maybe it has been done quietly between regulator and operator.

When are max spins of 1p being introduced?

There are providers also bulk deprecating games due to this regulatory requirement, namely MG (GG) have today sent through a list of over 300 games, most video poker and roulette variants.

300 games, most video poker and roulette variants.

ffs - generic mail or from your AM? I haven't got any.

Videoslots & Mr Vegas still have autoplay but Paddy, Unibet and 32red dropped it yesterday, it is virtually impossible to play Crazy Time effectively now, Crazy Balls is a bit easier as it is a slower game and takes about 1m 45 whereas crazy time is about 40 secs between rounds.

I wonder if Crazy Time will start to fall out of favour without the autoplay.
