Has anyone else noticed this game playing differently?

The reason I ask is because there are Three strange statistical anomalies that have appeared that were not present before.

1) I have hit the First Two scatters (reel 1&2) over a Hundred times consecutively without initiating the Free spin round (previously it used trigger around 1 in 5)

2) I have not hit 5 of a kind on Two win lines (Two combos same spin) over the same period (Yet this used to happen reasonably often)

3) I have not had a Feature pay over 100Xbet over the same period even with retriggers. (Usually it is between 10 and 20X bet)

I am unsure of the start date but the period includes a great number of spins (5 figures) on this slot at various RTG.

Now the fact that all 3 massively unlikely events have coincided over the same period (must be many Millions to One) makes me think that this slot has been altered but since the Reels and paytable are the same that would mean it has been rigged by RTG to pay less.

Or is this just a case of 3 unrelated events coming together to make for One huge coincidence?

If you have played this slot a lot (Tens of Thousands of spins) both in the past and currently what are your experiences?
Are they similar to mine or are they completely different?
 
This same slot has given me issues also. Month back it started with soon a scatter landed no sound for it. If i heard the sound meant scatter only. I could not line up more then 3 symbols and lucky if that out of 100 spins one day.
And now im lucky if i even see scatter. One spin of mine i had 3 scatter one on the last one as the reel stopped the second reel spun again and away went my 3 scatters. So yes they have done something to this i barley play it any longer.
 
I have noticed that when I get a scatter on any of the first three reels, and there won't be another scatter on the screen at the end, then there's no sound for the scatter. Only if I will get at least two scatters the sound is present.

Yes and that is the same for everybody yet it never used to happen until an update.
That is proof at least that the code affecting the game has been changed.
This bug is not present in Cleo's Millions.
 
I don't know what it is, but I did notice before that I've only had bad luck on this slot for the last 10.000 something spins. I tend to avoid it now, while it used to be of my favorites :(

That is interesting because now the RJ on Cleopatras Gold increases more slowly than many other slots yet it used to be One that would increase the quickest intimating that many others have noticed the same issues.

Are you stretching this a bit? Over 100 times in a row? Or do you mean over 100 instances of this occurrence? Quite a difference. :) I would love to see those logs...
 
that would mean it has been rigged by RTG to pay less.

Personally I think that's the case. I have noticed the same thing at some other games. Goldbeard which is one of my favorite games just frustrates me nowadays; free spins that suck and wild symbols that almost never appear in a winning line.

Obviously I do not mean 100 times in 100 spins if that is what you have inferred.

Unfortunately the playlog data I have access to does not show the reel positions of each spin so I am going off memory.
I naturally started taking note after noticing it was not hitting maybe 10 times or so in a row.
Since then many Thousands of spins later I have been looking out for it.
I don't set autoplay that often but hey it is possible the feature triggered with the First Two scatters and I've missed it but that is very unlikely.
I am not stretching it at all that is why it is so compelling.

I did manage it on a retrigger as I remember but not to initiate the free spins.
I am sure RTG have access to the full data and I will happily have them go over all my playlogs to see.

I have playlogs that prove the other Two anomalies and those alone are strong evidence something is amiss.
 
Gold Rush

Last game I played was Gold Rush. 944 spins at 25 cents per spin.

Almost 96% hit less than one dollar. In fact 88% hit less than my 25 cent wager and I averaged a free spin feature at 1 out of 236 spins.

I've had better days.

Sometimes it seems like the longer I play on a deposit the worse the odds get.
 
I noticed the no sound issue for the scatters back before Christmas. Cleopatras Gold used to be one of my favorite games. I find it very difficult to hit a bonus round, and when I do the pay out is far less than what I have invested in the game. Example, playing Fruit Frenzy (another one of my favorite games), it took me 250 spins before the bonus round hit. I was making small wins, enough to keep me playing. The bonus round netted me 10 free spins to a whopping total of $12 and some change. I was playing .50 a spin.
***I am one of those players who will keep spinning hoping that "great" bonus round will hit within the next few spins***
 
I have not had a Feature pay over 100Xbet
Been saying this numerous times for the last many months...especially after every "update" that seems to be done.

All RTG's have been affected. I said it before and I say it again..the changes have been subtle for the new player not to notice , but the old players such as me that has been playing since 1996 or earlier (can't remember but know it is at least then), knows when something is not quite the same..

I played Inetbet all weekend and the RJ spinner was barely moving on all the huge jackpots which we know always spin faster when it gets super high. One was over 14,000 and the other over 10,000 and barely crawling...they didn't change hardly at all all weekend. What are the odds of that???

Are they similar to mine or are they completely different?
They have been for months..Yes, things are definitley changing and not for the better. I have stopped playing a lot because of this. I still dabble here and there but not like I used to.

I am waiting for the other shoe to drop where it becomes legal and then I will come back on board full force knowing someone is watching these places and keeping them honest . Right now..I think they are falling to the wayside from greed maybe?

Can't be lack of players because they all claim huge signups...If Intercasino would open their doors again, that would be my main spot...I know they are on the up and up for I have played there early on...and actually hit their Rapid Fire jackpots on and off with different denominations played unlike RTG....not one in all these years playing 20 cents to over $5 a spin..

I still say only new players are now allowed to hit them and it is proven almost every time by the signups at CM (screenshots) How many oldies have hit it recently? (in the last few months)? I can count them on one hand...how many newbies, you have to use your fingers and toes and the person next to you too..so that too has changed...and I have given up all hope on hitting one ever now at any RTG..and I played RTG 90% of the time so you figure it out...the odds should have been with me a long time ago...


Pretty soon, the bonus rounds will be just a dream the way they keep "updating" these games..

I've been complaining about the lack of bonus features on the real series slot games for quite a while but I just get told I have bad luck.

What do I know? Maybe I do have bad luck.

4 bonus features out of almost 1000 spins seems a little harsh though. Specially when the last two only earn about 5 bucks each.
 
No problem in my case. As regular as the other slots. In fact a bit better than some.

Thanks.
Have you activated the feature when hitting the First Two Scatters and have you hit bonus rounds of over 100X bet recently?
Also have you managed a win of 5 of a kind on more than 1 line on 1 spin?
At which Casinos do you play this slot?

Thanks again.
 
Now after posting about the lack of bonus features I hit 10 free spins in Achilles and then hit the bonus spins 4 more times during the free spin feature making a total of 50 consecutive free spins.

Course at only a 20 cent bet the entire thing only paid about 14 bucks. :p

I guess they gave you a star by your name after posting :lolup:

Yes it is playing very differently!! When I first started playing it I used to hit the scatters so often I was shocked...I even hit the 5 scatters once and four scatters quite frequently to...now it's very random and when you do hit you don't win anything even with the retriggers..hit for three retriggers for a total of 40 spins at .75 cent and didn't break 20.00:confused:
 
Every time I play these RTG slots I see exactly the same pattern.

I deposit. Win for a short time a little amount and then hit a losing streak until my balance hits zero.

I just dropped from $55 to $14 at minimum bet on real series slots before finally hitting a 2 bonus features and both of them won me back less than a dollar each.

I've even tried quitting and coming back but the streak carries on till the money is gone.

Of course I'm always told it's just my bad luck. Odds have nothing to do with gambling. :rolleyes:

Interestingly enough but this often works for me. :rolleyes:
Most resent experiences: Started with 120, played 2 games at $1 with no bonus, lost almost half. Had to close and re-open casino because the lobby was not responding. Playing the same 2 games after restarting, hit bonus rounds on both within 10 first spins, both more then x100. Then I had to restart a few times but my luck was pretty much steady till i finished play-thru.

Not complaining, just find this streakiness rather weird, seems like "predetermined" at login time.

Or sometimes i cant hit bonus round, i just leave it sitting there for 5-10 min and often hit a bonus within 10 first spins. And usually i switch game after i hit a bonus. If i lost 1 or 2 games, i know its time to logout... ( the hardest thing for me to do).

Coincidences - may be - but similar happened more then once.

I don't find the same with MG slots.

:rolleyes:
 
Thanks to everyone who has posted so far.

What I am really interested in is not just if you have found the slot to be tighter but in what ways.
Have you noticed specific events that are not in keeping with previous play?

Those of you who have said the slots is different have you hit 5 of a kind on multiple win lines recently?
Have you been triggering the feature when hitting the first 2 Scatters?

I note that most of you said how the Free spin rounds generally pay less and this seems to be a fact which proves free spin rounds are predetermined...and if Free spin rounds are predetermined, well...

If you have seen no change in this slot (You must have played it Tens of Thousands of spins and for over a Year) then please do not be afraid to post.
I am interested in all accounts but please ensure good or bad you can back up what you say with statistics.
Remember you can request playlogs for just Cleopatra's Gold to see if it is just perception or reality.

Many thanks.
 
I played Inetbet all weekend and the RJ spinner was barely moving on all the huge jackpots which we know always spin faster when it gets super high.


I was losing most of the night at Sun Palace last night and the Random Jackpots weren't moving either. I asked another casino about that once a while back and they had no real answer.

I think it's about time for me to give up on RTG slots. I used to enjoy them and I don't really mind losing sometimes but it would be nice to close the casino with more money than you opened it with once in a while.

I think I only win long enough to keep the payout percentage up and then I play one step forward and 3 steps back until I'm broke. If you question any casino about the behaviour of the slot games they basically tell you that The RNG is tested so it has to be fair because it's random. I tell them randomly losing every spin is still losing. They also tell me I just have bad luck. If my luck was this bad for this long I'd have been hit by a bus years ago.

I know it's just entertainment. I'm not a big spender and I only play what I can afford to lose. Still, I don't like paying to see a bad movie or eat a bad meal either.

If I just want to watch things spin for nothing I'd sit on my bed and spin my chair around. I can do that for free.
 
I dont play

Cleo as much as I do some of the others, but yes those rounds are far harder to come upon than they used to be for certain,.

In saying that Im finding most of the games I generally play are terrible, I play green light a lot, features harder to hit, if you do hit them, impossible to hit the second round, and $ for rounds poor, yesterdays for instance, were all under $15 on $1 bets when I was lucky to hit them, and no retriggers at all.

Archilles is another that getting the bonus is like winning lotto. Ive noticed these changes a lot in the last week or two, and its not just one RTG Ive played 4 different and they are all playing the same,.

Sorry if this is not solely about Cleo, but I really do think its a general thing, and when we play them a lot we notice the changes, because we are not stupid and it cant all be bad luck if a lot of us notice.

Things are getting interesting with RTGs with there changes in deposit bonus etc asc well, whats next I wonder.
