I think casino owners, reps and affiliates should be lobbying to bring true fair play back to online gaming. Now I don't want to hear the bull about Variances, RNG's or any technical baloney to explain away why the majority of players are dissapointed so many times.
I have noticed a new slight to even drastic trend of decreased prizes on line wins, decreased to never getting bonus rounds and if you do get bonus rounds decreased chances that the round will outshine the regular play.
A few months back I had posted a winning screenshot of $500 playing at 75 cents a spin and hit wilds and pistols on Fandango, a couple months later playing the Pharoah game at the same casino I hit wilds and the Pharoahs for 5 of a kind on a payline, playing 75 cents and was paid $100. The pharoah is equivalent to pistols.
So okay, maybe the $500 was excessive, but to cut it down to $100 is a bit drastic. Now this is just one example.
I believe that wins at any and all casinos has been decreased but maybe not as noticeable as some are.
It is also not fair play when for instance playing RTG's, spending a good amount of money and time and not getting any bonus rounds what so ever, time and time again! A couple times on my last play at an RTG casino I hit the T-Rex bonus rounds 4 times, every time the 3 eggs only gave 2 spins per egg, so each time I only won 6 free spins. Then to add insult to injury not once did the dino's come toghether to make a decent win. One round was a grand total win of $1.65 or so and none were higher than $6.00. On the new x-mas themed games, santa has never won during my many sessions and the other one which I played at least 6 times for extended periods never once gave a bonus round.
The thing that makes these games at any and all of the casino's is the bonus rounds, this is the fun and exciting part of playing, but if they are going to continually being watered down and feel more like a lottery than a slot, then the whole reason why you want us to play is only down to the money and not to give your customers a true and fun experience.
Sure there will always be the die hard gamer out there that will continue to play no matter what, but there is also I'm sure a good portion of small time revenue that will be lost because of these on going changes. These things will effect the pocketbooks of the Owners, Reps and Affiliates one day just as it is affecting players pocketbooks now.
So please, no tech excuses.
