Rusty, thanks for the head up on this slot. I thought it was just me. I have opened accounts at all 3 of Cherry Red, Rushmore and Slot Oasis. I used the 400% coupon at all three with $300 deposits each. I could not get any traction whatsoever on the Cleopatras, at any of three of the casinos. Infact, my bank roll was exhausted before being anywhere near playthru at each.
You'd think you have a pretty good shot in the arm betting 2-5 dollars per spin on a $1500 bankroll on each. Not so. What the hell is going on?
Your first two reel observation is absolutely correct. I wonder how many people are gonna have to bitch about this before they fix this gaffed bullshit?
Rusty, I played Cleopatra on and off for in my 4 hour marathon and I did see what you were saying..about the first two reels wiuth the scatter...it did not hit the bonus round when they feel on those reels....but I did hit 1 bonus round on 3 scatters on different lines..nothing exciting to talk about on 15 free spins either...
.
I expect it to be fixed fairly soon because it makes it obvious the slot is not entirely random. (Breaking News, haha)
It is a massive anomaly because when initiating a bonus round of 3 pyramids all combinations should be just as likely.
Combinations 1,3,4 1,3,5 1,4,5 2,3,4 2,3,5 2,4,5 3,4,5 seem generally unaffected.
Combinations 1,2,3 1,2,4 1,2,5 seem to have been weighted out of the game as I have not triggered any of them for many Thousands of spins and dozens of Feature wins.
That statistic is so unlikely as to be as good as impossible in a genuine random unweighted game.
That means that 30% of my possible triggering combinations have been AWOL for a prolonged period of play which goes someway to explaining why the feature round triggers less.
I am currently well over a 1000 consecutive spins on this slot without triggering a feature round.
It used to trigger around 1/130 spins but over the last Few Months I am probably around 1/160 spins. Roughly a 30% drop off
As I say the other obvious stand out anomalies are never hitting 5 of a kind on more than One line at the same time (Used to win on 2 lines at same time with reasonable frequency)
This actually extends to other slots too, especially Achilles and has occurred for well over 50,000 spins possibly 100,000.
Nobody else has commented on if this is the same for them.
Retriggers are less frequent and Free spin round wins seem to be limited to below 50 times bet.
Seriously, how can you go over 50 consecutive Free spins round (15 Free spins X3 multiplier) and almost exclusively win between 10 and 30 times bet?
Even more pathetic that includes retriggers.
Everyone should check their playlogs for these sort of anomalies if they think they are having suspiciously bad luck.
Don't worry about the shills telling you it is just sour grapes or you are a bad loser, that is their job.
The more these anomalous stats are brought to forums such as this the more the Casinos and software companies have to take notice.
That can only result in fairer games for everybody.
If you are unsure what your playlogs show then feel free to PM me and I will look at them for you.
Sometimes though it is just about observation, such as the scatter problem above which can not be proved through playlogs, but can be qualified through shared experience.
Of course there will always be freak events occur even in unweighted software but when the same freak events keep occurring and are observable by different people it becomes a phenomenon.
What is the cause of this phenomenon?
Weighted slots.
