I think this is more for the Slots Fairness Discussion, there Bloaty and Tourettes will tell you it's all rigged, and all pre-decided, predetermined...
Let me ask you a question... How many games have you played at stakes over €4 compared to stakes under €4 - just as a ratio (i.e 50% over, 50% under)...
Try and answer honestly...
Why do i ask? Well - consider the proportion of your play on high stakes. If you nearly always play at €2, then of course nearly all your big wins will come from that stake.
If you've only played 1,000 games at a higher stake, then the chance of a big win (say 100x+) is extremely unlikely - although from what you said you were unlucky in the Free Games, but all of those games can and do regularly do free games like you say at low stakes too...
There is no pool of wins for different bet sizes - every outcome has the same chance of happening at every stake... < you don't have to believe this, but it's true whether you believe it or not
Hi Trancemonkey,
I understand 100% on what you are explaining, however two things.
I remember reading a couple of years ago about organised gangs that would target Netent games specifically with bonuses at the same casino, and have heard similar stories before.
So my questions are
1. Why would they all target the same games at the same times if all the games are random, if there is no patterned rtp paycycle?
As if each spin is entirely random, there would be absolutey NO benefit in doing this collectively, at the same time. And by doing this collectively as a team, at the same time, they are also massively increasing their chances of detection, so why take that risk?
Yet if they games were compensated in the fashion that everyone could still call them random (random with compensation would stil be “random” after all), then this would entirely make sense as a method to take advantage of the Casino:
10 players do max bet on a high variance slot with bonus.
The machine hits “tipping point” and pays out to one of the team. The winnings are then shared.
This leads me on to the second question:
2. If each spin is entirely random, then why over a large number spins can a session be entirely hot or cold.
This is much pronounced on high variance games such as Dead or Alive and Bonanza? You can have a 2000 spin session on each that play entirely differantly to a ridiculous level i.e 20 bonus rounds in a session and many micro wind against no bonus and a complete balance drop.
I would “get” such variation over 100 spins, or even pushing it 500, but not 2000. The common occurrence of such deviation (very good session vs very bad session) defies reasonable doubt, even with a rudimentary understanding of Maths and Variance.
If it was truly “random” in the wider sense you would expect sessions to be all over the place, even on high variance games, however they are generally not. This is obvious to any regular player.
Any regular player will tell also tell you, the more microwinning and slight blance increases you get, the more likely a good bonus session is coming. Thats not to say you are not “surprised” sometimes at a sudden balance saver bonus round, but its rare (so random, but weighted chance of outcome) - but there definately seems to be a link between the two.
Sorry mate
