Bgo falsely displaying Starburst in ad campaign?

[dave1888]

Check this screenshot I took of Bgo advert on facebook. Why is it showing 5 starburst expanding wilds? This is poor form if you ask me as the slot can only produce 3 stars which expand.

Another casino did this a while ago too(again an advertisement online) and when I alerted them they gave me free spins and assured me it would be rectified.

Here's the screenshot I took...

Facebook is full of 'questionable' ads like that.
Even some from several CM Accredited casinos

Yep totally agree.

Recall seeing the original 'Rainbow Riches' (Barcrest) showing a 'Pot' on all 5 reels whereas they only appear 2,3 and 4.

Poor research and lazy ad designers

What I want to know is are the casinos aware promoters are making these questionable ads...

Some of them are from the actual casinos, or at least on their official facebook pages, and not from affiliates

I love it how when you play microgamings hitman the reels spinning show an expanding wild symbol on all reels, but in reality you can only ever hit it on 2,3,4

For that I give them a pass and assume it to just be bad sloppy programming, but really it is a little deceptive.

That's pretty bad if you ask me. I reckon it's to make the ad more attractive. People love 5 expanding wild symbols after all...maybe I'm just being cynical..

like this... implying that a £35k win is possible on starburst, which coincidently is the game that they give free spins on as part of their SUB (@ 10p a spin )

You'd need to be betting 1-200£ a pop to get a win like that on Starburst surely?! Yes, that's even worse!!

It's IMPOSSIBLE to get a win like that!
Maybe you could win 35K, but not some figure ending in 91p - unless the slot lets you bet something like £100.79 per spin!
Totally made up marketing drivel - something I hate.

KK

Looking forward to my 4.5p spins on DOA soon then

This is what I was going to say. It's like they've just pulled a "big win" figure out of their ass without the slightest bit of information on how the slot plays and pays.

Utter nonsense.

 

[goatwack]

I await the DOA ad with a pumping techno soundtrack and full screen of wilds with bated breath

You too can win 50K with 36p, honest!

That has to be a breach of ASA guidlines.

Your making a mountain out of a molehill. I often wager £9k per spin to win £35k on 3 purple lines in Starburst. But that's small fry compared to when I hit the 20 free spins with sticky wilds on the game.

BTW, this isn't from BGO. But from a CM accredited casino

hahahaha that was terrific!

Look at this shit from a BGO affiliate, not sure how they manage to advertise on facebook considering the advertising rules on there regarding gambling

I can see now, where I've been going wrong

I should be playing more Starburst

"The high variance machines such as Starburst and Wild Rockets are the machines that will pay out larger amounts of money but the wins will happen less frequently]"

Yes because 500xlinebet jackpot for the best 5 of a kind and frequent hits is soooo high variance right enough...pull the other one!
