Q&A Ask Me Anything about Slots (AMA) 2020 with Trancemonkey

Last weel I gave a bash to last decent "classic" MG slot, Exotic Cats. Turned over 8000 spins, True, 60-70% were quickspins, but still I had only four wins over 100x (100, 112 and twice 120). I had four 3-reelers (wild reels) and only one of then produced 120x, but even that one didn't connect 5OAK premiums. In the past I had success with this slot, it has bigger potential than Pretty Kitty, more features and it is not so harsh balance wise.

I can't believe that I stumbled upon such a cold streak (number of spins is way to high) or MG changed RTP (casino where I play claims they didn't do anything).

Or is it player pressure? MG is melting down with every coming week and maybe just IR and GOT are somewhat popular. Exotic Cats never was (and it is good med-high slot) but without players. Somehow I do believe that slot will pay more if it is played more.

IR & GOT have been tinkered with without a doubt, they've been gimped.

For example a odd string of spins that happens to repeat themselves paying exactly the same - Book of Dead different features paying the same amount, down to cents, not many spins apart each other, example 0.80 bet 13.30 total win.

Reading this (jut this excerpt, not the larger post it's from) just now reminded me of something...

The pic I'm attaching is from my own facebook post, I just cropped my name and pic out. What are the odds of this occurring? My guess would be approximately 1 in never lol.

Edit: Twinspin Megaways, iirc both spins synced all 6 reels (which is very infrequent in and of itself).

That entirely depends on how how have done the maths.

If they only have one set of reel bands for when 6 reels sync, with say 100 positions on it, and the positions are evenly weighted, then the chance would be 1 in 100 for each six reel sync.

If they using a ticket system, like Jammin Jars, then it would depend on what weight they have given that specific ticket.
 
Can feature buys have an RTP different from the slots main RTP, and if so is there any rules on what variation is allowed? Are feature buys even tested when slots are certified?

I ask because I seem to recall seeing two different RTP listed for a slot with the feature buy one being slightly higher, however in my experience you seem to average pretty poorly when doing bulk feature buys...

So I'm just wondering if there's any rules against having a slot with 97% base game RTP but a feature buy that pays on average say 90% RTP?
 
From the slots ive seen some seem to keep the rtp the same, but the majority have a slightly higher rtp for the bonus buy.

Usually a different rtp for those 'super stake/extra bet' things aswell.
On Pragmatics Buffalo king megaways you actually lose a very small amount of rtp by enabling the ante-bet.

Pay more to get less, great deal.

Feature buys are just a shortcut to the 'won' or 'lost part of you deposit.
Casinos probably think its pretty great.
 
Is volatility measured to a universal standard?

I am wondering if all game developers confirm to a standard measurement/grading in volatility or if volatility is listed according to their own catalogue of games.

For example, if Relax lists a game as being highly volatile, could an Yggdrasil high volatility game be equivalent to Relax's medium volatility rating.
 
No they don't, all providers have their own volatility measurement which is why in some ways its fairly useless it would be nice if they did all use the same formula to rate it but alas that's not likely to happen. Its one of my list of things I feel the UKGC should implement instead of the crap they doing like banning auto play. But as its Trance's thread I will let him chip in as well :)

Yes they can be, though in jurisdictions where the RTP is stated, it would have to state the different RTPs.

There is no standard, which I admit is silly, but that's just how it is for now.
 
@trancemonkey
On Mega Jackpot slots wolf run and wheel of fortune on air it says in the paytable Each spin in the base game offers a behind-the-scenes Second Chance drawing to win the MegaJackpots progressive. Do you know how that is shown and how it is done? As that is all it says about it and I am really curious.

What is the most volatile IGT slot?

Cleopatra 2 I'd say. My old favourite Dungeons & Dragons Fortress of Fortunes (IMO one of the top 5 slots ever made) was not far behind. But that's only my take.

If slots are not rigged, how can we know their rtp?
Click to expand...
Same as the 'slots are rigged' argument, the rtp showed in the helpfile is just the theoretical rtp, right?
I mean, thats why its called theoretical rtp, and not just rtp, because there is no way to tell if you would end up with the same rtp % even if you did the same amount of spins as they did in testing.

Nice try industry shill, but we want evidence, not theories.
