One question, Why would anyone bother taking the time to create false screenies, what is to be gained from it, we don't get paid or anything from receiving 'Thanks' or 'WTG's' etc?
I personally cannot see the point. Call me gullible (go on go for it) but I think they are genuine and doubters wouldn't convince me otherwise.
I have had all 5 scatters on Thunderstruck (original one) 11 times when I played it daily 'back in the day' so with the right volume of play I really do believe it is possible.
Well said my friend
Now I am not going to speculate as to how rolastan plays DOA, but it is not totally inconceivable that he COULD be playing this game for 5 or 6
hours daily AND at more than one casino simultaneously.
There was a post the other day made by Nicola where (IIRC) she said she got six hours play out of DOA at 9p per spin with a starting bankroll of a mere £50. And then she got her money hit.
Who is to say that rolastan (or anyone else for that matter) could not do the same at 45p/c per spin with a starting bankroll of £250/$/euro?
Better than that, who is to say that rolastan (or anyone else for that matter) could win (for arguments sake) £1,125/$/euro on a 45p/c spin for getting 5 scatters or a wildline one day and THEN the following day.....
Split that £1,125/$/euro five ways...into 5 lots of £225/$/euro and THEN....
Sign up at five new casinos that offer DOA and take SUBs at all five and THEN (with the aid of a mobile phone, a laptop, a tablet or desktop
and a really good solid internet connection)....
Hammer the holy f**king crap out of DOA on autoplay for 5 or 6 hours at 5 different casinos simultaneously.
Now at first thought, that does sound like a "crazy notion", but don't try and tell me that it hasn't crossed the minds of many DOA players at least once. If you have the bankroll, the time, the patience, the tolerance/ability to withstand the incessant and unrelenting boredom that DOA can and inevitably will bring, then such a plan could at least be tried. Whether it ends with a successful outcome is another matter. All I know is that it IS possible to NOT get a wildline or 5 scatters and still be AHEAD after 6 hours of play. And my luck on DOA is "not great" to say the least.
I myself COULD try such a plan like the one I described. But I would never do it. I just find DOA too boring and my luck on the game is
nowhere near good enough to make me think that it's "worth trying". But would someone else out there be very willing to take on such a plan?
I would say yes, there would be plenty. We're all different. What seems like a crazy notion to one person, may sound like a clever idea to someone else.
But to get back to rolastan himself for a moment....do I think his luck is "hard to believe"? Yes I do. BUT that is partly because it hasn't happened
to me. Do I think his luck is "impossible to achieve"? No I don't. I would say it is "highly unlikely", but not "impossible". And if it is "not impossible", then
by definition, it must be "possible". And that means he has to be given the benefit of the doubt. In my world, you're innocent until proven guilty.
I believe his screenies ARE genuine.
In fact, it may well be the case that he is NOT alone in achieving such exploits on DOA. Just because he is the only CM member who
chooses to publish such prolific winning exploits on DOA, doesn't mean he is the only one on the planet who is winning on DOA as often as he is.
For all we know, there could be dozens of people out there with "rolastan-esque luck" on DOA. But they are either A. not CM members or B. keeping VERY quiet about it or C. both
