<div class="bbWrapper">I will admit, and this is the only thing I really seem them changing that makes the games really in there favor.<br />
Alright remember when slots used to be one line. Well back then you were most of the times guaranteed to at least get your bet back if you actually hit something.<br />
These days the only thing the casino is doing to make it seem more thrilling and less of a return to the player.<br />
Which I caught onto once I saw the first 50 line machine from IGT.<br />
Is there adding more lines with the same payouts as a normal slot machine. Just the catch was. You could quote unquote, win multiple times over multiple lines. <br />
That my friends is where the unfairness is coming into play. Everyone is wanting new games, new chances to win, more thrilling slots, tables, etc, etc. When all your really doing is now allowing them to create more opportunities to win more on your dime.<br />
Sure 25 lines, 100 lines, or even 200 lines seems thrilling. May ways to win, but this is where the unfairness these days is coming into play. Were not expecting so much more out of slot machines to provide that entertainment factor. Were expecting bonuses, ways to win more than one way, ways to win big. Which was the same basic principal that happened with the 1 liner machine. Yet except for when you did win 99 out of 100 times. The machine would at least reimburse you for your bet and actually give you either a free spin or more than that. Like an actual jackpot.<br />
This is where I think the industry is getting smart on us. When were starting to call foul because of it. They realize we want more interaction with the slots, we want those bonus features that kill the RTP, we want something that gives us that thrill of gambling.<br />
Same goes with card games. Everyone wanted more than your basic black jack and poker. Now look at casinos these days. We have 3 card poker, texas holdem bonus poker, caribbean stud. All games with horrible odd stacked in favor of the house.<br />
So if anyone wants to cry foul RTP. It's the fact of course the RTP is going to suck, because naturally multi-line slot machines really in all honestly. According to most audits I've seen. Pay like 82% of the total income back to the player. Just because there's more lines to win on and less of a chance for you to win.<br />
We the players caused this monster, by embracing the fact that hey video slots. Pretty thrilling, allows more ways to win.<br />
Now yes, now that people have realized after a long haul. That there getting screwed. Of course you don't have to embrace it. You can stop making deposits, telling the software manufacturers and casinos to stop making such ridiculous configurations for slot machines. Then people might start seeing a better RTP.<br />
When this thread was started, the generally analogy. Was that bodog doesn't make a fair return because they've enhanced there software. Mostly because it was RTG makes an unfair product.<br />
The reason why the software was enhanced was to make for a more thrilling gaming experience for you. Creating new lines, new games, new ways to win. Yet we as a player, we do have a right to say no. We don't care for a 50 line machine. We don't care for the random jackpot tying us down.<br />
I dunno I guess my point is. It's all because of player demand that were seeing our downfall.<br />
Now I'm not saying everyone is gambling to get out of debt, but I've read a fair number of people dreaming. To pay off those credit cards, go on vacation, do several things with the extra money they might earn gaming.<br />
Anyways I can see all sides to this. I really can, but I'm just saying. We as a player base also need to realize we asked for this by asking for higher paying games, better returns, blah, blah, blah.<br />
So anyways, I dunno... I realize this was a bit scatter brained, but this is my understanding of whats going on in the industry.</div>
