clogs VS the casinos (rigged rtp, etc)

[clogs]

I play this game called shinning crown, it's such a scam. You hit a 10x an miss the next 10 spins, You hit a 50x, you miss the next 45 spins. I've had hundreds an hundreds an hundreds of sessions on this game an it just happens all the time, the bigger you hit, the more spins you will then miss, il never ever be convinced each spin is random, I've seen too many patterns of big hits then instantly machine goes deader than dead.

Another thing I noticed. Say I go from 50 to 200, it will eat everything until I go back down to 50 again an then hover around there for ages then just dead spin me out till I have a few spins left then hover around the 10 spins mark.

The game is 96.63% but I always lose, simply because as soon as you hit it just takes it all back immediately an then at some point you will get 10% rtp for 300 spins an you get wiped out

Shining crown an burning hot 20, one day the scandal will break that it's patterns of spins an not random individual spins an il say I knew it, I knew it, I knew it

Lets be honest, they're no way 96.63% is real when you lose every penny 95/100 times

 

[hubbadubbadingdong]

The RTP are exactly that or the fines places for cheating would be astronomical , you have to remember the RTP, is based on VLN Theory (VeryLarge Numbers) and not saying you spining 100 or 1000 or 10,000 Spins- You are looking at payouts over 10,000 of you spinning 10,000 times each second and then think of 10,000 players as a single set ; and then running 100,000 of these sets over a period of 4+ years , and RTP is averaged out over that time period.

While I do agree some slots the back end can be compremised; this would be site specific not so much legitimate verisons of the same recognized slot, Avoiding scams like anything is down to the end user , would be what site you play ?

 

[bamberfishcake]

Yes.

 

[The Reel Story]

Outside of (properly) regulated markets, anything is possible. Inside (properly) regulated markets, it's incredibly unlikely and also pretty pointless when considering the risk vs reward.

 

[clogs]

I play shining crown an burning hot 20, the problem is every 10 sessions you can build a good balance, but you never know when because say you double your balance the machine can easily give you back 10%rtp on the next 150 spins an because it's volatile you don't know to leave after 20, 40, 80, 100 dead spins because it could have dropped in a nice hit or stopped dead spinning at some point an you keep building.

Honestly it's the most demoralizing game, 1 second you are hitting 1/5 spins, next minute you can't hit 1/50 an then you hit a 10x an think ok it's stopped dead spinning, an then you miss the next 50 again.

Just wiped me out, built $900 profit all night, took it all off me in 15 mins, feeling so low.

 

[L&L-Jan]

Bounce after 5 of a kind melons/plums/sevens hit

 

[snorky510238]

I find the best rule of thumb is cash out when your balance drops by 10%. I only apply it to balances of £100 or more.

So once you have a balance of £500 (dreaming I know). Don’t go below £450, etc.

You would have cashed at £810.

 

[Deanna]

Ack, I know that feeling! I had almost $2300 last weekend off a $35 deposit. Ask me how much I cashed out? But that being said, I had hella fun playing on it for a few days.

 

[slotmaster]

Oh wow, $900 I am cashing out at least $500 but maybe more depends on how much more I want to play but do put too much back in now and again and probably everyone does.

 

[KasinoKing]

Just remember, if we all won and cashed-out all the time - there wouldn't be any online casinos!

Brings back memories for my local casino where they added a hotel and my grandma asked wonder where they got the money? My dad goes it was not built on winners. All the people who lost money.

 

[OliverCooper]

I can imagine how overwhelming it was in the moment. But don't think about it for long. Unfortunately there is no single working scheme. Most often you have to rely on chance

 

[clogs]

Yeah, up an down on an insanely tense all over the place sessions,, went down from a grand to 30 a few times an crash saved me, then sods law when I was 200 from my withdrawal goal crash took it back

Ironically on my last roll I went from 30 to 250 on crash to try to get to 1300, but got to 1150 an lost it all, but that crash went to 50x an I could a had it all then but bottled it even though I said just let it go up an up an see what happens

So gutted, was a win I needed to cover some future loses, an I just blew it

I never capitalise on lucky streaks where I'm up big after being saved a few times after battling for hours an hours, I always give it back in a short period once my brain is fried an I've upped the stakes but my luck has turned to dust an I can't appreciate to just take the win that was 90% of my top amount

Hate it when you lose 90% of the balance an you miraculously get back to touching distance to call it a night but it all goes

Worse is I was looking at shoes when Id withdrawn 700, which I later put back on an lost, an now google adds constantly showing me those shoes

 

[snorky510238]

@clogs, who needs shoes?

 

[clogs]

What are the odds that after you hit a 36x hit on a fruit game you get back a total of 10x from the next 100 spins. Anytime you build a bit of momentum and get your balance in profit your rtp drops to 10% for the next 200 spins an it just wipes you out. Seen it happen again an again an again. The uk was eating horsemeat in every supermarket product for years, so companies rigging slots would be no surprise.

 

[snorky510238]

Online gambling is a *>!~~*g disgrace. Absolutely blatant cheating going on and nobody can (or chooses not to) do a thing about it. The stats are disgusting. Not a cat in hells chance that you’re getting a fair game. It’s absolute bullshit!

 

[clogs]

I truly think it's rigged, not a chance these online casinos have 96% rtp games, give back 2% rtp in rakeback. An use the remaining 2% to pay all the providers, the live staff, the security teams, the internet providers, the power companies, the taxes, ,the backroom staff like, the lawyers an accountants, an then make a profit

 

[snorky510238]

And they used to give out 100% bonuses, like confetti, bonus spins and pay affiliates. Yeah go figure! It’s time to call foul (long overdue actually) on this cheating, scamming industry. It’s filth!

 

[Lemon]

You've got base games than return 30-40% RTP everywhere these days - of course your money's going to go down at a quicker rate. It's to entice you into committing to playing for a bonus, as that's where the money is. If the bonus hit rate is 1 in 150 spins, they want an average of 150 spins' worth of money in total play from you every time you load the game up.

The base game will not sustain your balance in any way on today's slots. Years ago you could easily float around the break-even mark on some base games for a reasonable amount of spins if you were lucky. You might get in front and leave early, and that's not what online casinos want.

Not a fucking chance in hell of that today; the base game is nothing more than a front-game where you pay for the bonus. Give us your fucking money quickly and we'll chuck a bonus at you, a lot of which are high-variance as well. There's nothing to match the feeling of losing £35 at 20p a spin in Sugar Rush to get a bonus that goes for £0.73 is there?

 

[clogs]

Sugar rush has been good to me lol, but shining crown which doesn't have bonuses is supposed to be 96.37%, but at times over 300 spins you are left with 10% of your balance

Yes, that is partly the problem and of course, because the all games nowadays are pretty much, high variance, their backs are covered all ways. If you hit 7 or 8 complete shockers in a row that pay less than x20, that could easily have cost you 1k, they just say, it’s to be expected with HV.

 

[clogs]

I'm not saying you never get in profit but if you get up 150x all of a sudden instead of bouncing around like you have been for 30 mins the slot just dies an in 200 spins it's just taken back every penny of profit, it's so rigged

 

[snorky510238]

Yep, just like a compensated slot would do. Which is exactly what these heaps of shit are. It’s just that sometimes/most-times, they forget to give you any compensation.

 

[clogs]

Each spin is supposed to be independent, yet suddenly I miss 50 spins after hitting a 50x, I just don't believe it

 

[snorky510238]

Each spin is supposed to be independent, yet suddenly I miss 50 spins after hitting a 50x, I just don't believe it

It’s complete and utter bullshit. Not a chance that each spin is independent. Providers try their best to disguise the FACT that they are compensated but you can’t fool all of the people, all of the time.

To the trained eye, it is impossible not to see what is going on. Some days, you can do thousands of spins and every result seems like it’s been pulled from the rng from hell.

Well guess what, that’s because it has. On certain days, the Hollywood spins are not even available. The mother compensator or whatever you want to call it, ensures that the game makes the required profit before spitting a bit back.

I guarantee this is how it works. Nothing random about it at all. But of course, the way it’s all set up means that these scamming, cheating thieves can never be questioned or have to answer to anybody.

Hmmm... your maths is a bit off there buddy!
They make 4% off every single bet (in the long run)
If you kept playing even a 99.9% RTP game indefinitely, you would eventually bust out. So the casino would take 100% of your money, not just 0.1%.

But I get your point, and it certainly does feel that way sometimes: big win followed by crap-all.

What game were you referring to in your opening post?

KK

 

[clogs]

Shining crown. You do 500 spins up an down, finally hit a 100-200x an boom , 200 spins later that money is gone

 

[clogs]

What I think they do is have groups of outcomes an it switches to generating a result from a group with much worse outcomes as soon as you make a profit or hit big.

 

[YouTubeSlots]

So glad I stumbled upon this topic and people are thinking exactly what I have been for a while now. Makes me feel slightly less like its just me going mad.

It all started to feel very noticeable around the time the slots got converted from flash to html in my opinion.

And I would say at the very early doors of slot streaming on twitch. Which I was part of for around a year or 2 back when the slot section had like 15 people streaming, on a busy night! Before nickslots existed. So I'm not someone who's just talking out my arse. Just wanted to be clear.

That just happened to be around the same time all of sudden the slots went to html. I know why they went to html. I'm sure it was to do with a security breach on flash. So it had to be done. I get that. But you have to ask yourself.......

Did they change anything else?

Not only did the quality drop on the games them self's in terms of music, style, of the slots. But the way they pay now is not the same as they did say roughly 6 years ago. Its very noticeable and you can use many games as an example.

Let me list games that Do NOT pay like they used to. Don't care what anyone says, not out of ignorance. But I know damn well I and many others have played these games a hell of a lot to justify what I and many others are saying.

So if your gonna come in here as a software dev or what ever. And tell me online slots are 100% random and every spin is a totally random event and not based on player spend and patterns, algorithms etc.

Please don't bother.

And no im not wearing a tin foil hat either. It's a tesco carrier bag. So let's get that right

The same people that defend this b.s is either people that make money based on this industry.

Or some one that plays on a weekend for a few hours so would never notice patterns like this anyway.



Raging rhino
( And all other WMS html re releases)
Amazon Queen montezuma Bruce Lee etc

Drad or alive 1 Gonzos quest ( and every single other net ent game converted to html) flowers, steam tower, etc

I know there's way more games that aren't the same as they used to be But they are some for example.

Like others have said in this thread. These games now are literally 90 percent of your spins are dead. None existent base games. Feel blessed by mother Theresa if you land a bonus. That's the vibe you get now playing them.

And that's how the slots are being produced now. Aimed at bonus buys and new creative ways of getting as much money out the player as fast as they can

No limit citys (Idiot spin) is a great example

Fuck the normal guy that wants to actually spin the reels.

Money money money that's all its about for them obviously now seeing the introduction of things such as no limit city stupid 1 click win or lose scams,

They are not even bonus buys and should be illegal if you ask me. There bullshit actually cost me a week of chasing up b.c games live chat. Silly me thought he'd bought a bonus on there new 9-5 game.

Turns out I had actually purchased some new Bullshit they do.
Were you click and either win or lose.

I had thought I had purchased a bonus round that never started. So yeah they got me good with that shit.

Sorry for going off topic....

Back to the matter at hand

my thoughts on what's going on Is that the huge leap online slots took when the streaming game got involved, May actually be a reason as to why these games no longer feel as generous as they used to with the huge jump of players from the mid 2000's to now.

Or give you the hours and hours of play time like they used to most of the time when betting on moderate stakes.

Maybe the huge jump of players in the rng pool is what caused it?


We will never know.
But we 100% do know

They are not the same as they once were.

 

[clogs]

I joined duelbits an my luck was crazy good, then went back to unlucky.

Makes me wonder, do they have algorythms that get you to go on tilt.

I've also noticed they can tell when a player will not leave a slot until they get back to what they lost, an will give them amazing luck to get back to 85-90%. An then just for again an take it all back really quickly making you go on tilt an keep depositing

 

[Jono777]

Just to add to the above, can only comment on Dead or Alive really as that's all I can afford to play since they rigged them

There is definatley a "server switch" at some point with this game.

You can chuck £20 in and be plodding along nicely, lose a bit, win a bit, odd 5OAK premium (Glass, Boots, Hats - Forget the rest they don't exist anymore, maybe ONCE a year for Guns and Stars) Odd feature for between 10x and 50x every 100 spins or so, 4OAK premiums quite often to at least hold the balance, you get he general idea.

Then BOOM! - After the preset "timer" has elapsed, all that goes and it is BLATANT. No more 50AK, maybe, just maybe the 'K' or 'A' if your super lucky, basically wins only reach reel 3 and scatters seems to be removed from the reel sets, you'll struggle to even see a "teaser" spin (I refer to this as "Game over - The single scatter show is in town!")

I will eventually get RSI typing this last bit but I only depo lightly and what I'm willing to lose and the casino is welcome to it but PLEASE, now and again just take it s-l-o-w-l-y.

 

[clogs]

Happens on shinning crown, plod along with 100x up an down an then boom, you get to 300x an it's just down down down, all then nice little hits that kept your balance ok for the last hour have disappeared an it sends you back down to 100x again in 2 minutes, seen it happen 100 times

This is also my exact same experience mate. How is that even possible?

It's same every month with d.o.a and its just got to the point in month We're like every month. No matter what casino I play the game on, I tried 3 different ones, Bonus impossible to land. Scatters rare. Wins rare. Game totally dead. It just turns off for me almost like it wants to shaft way more money while I'm still depositing before it resumes to its normal self. I find if I keep depositing to play the game on any site. It will run like this until it wants to return to being normal and not robbing me. I usually wait a week to play and All of a sudden you put 20 quid into videos lots. Bonuses first press or some shit like that. And you just laugh at the riggedness of it all.

Riggedness is a word I made up. Sounds good though. Lol

Why do slots do this?

Player deposits 20 pounds
Player loses down to 3.91 left im the balance.

Bonus round lands, and randomly out of all the amounts it could randomly select. It happens to put you right back to the balance you just had. This can happen over and over through out sessions were it almost feels like there a thresholds in place.

Random burgers with chips ?

 

[sufferinsilence]

Happens on shinning crown, plod along with 100x up an down an then boom, you get to 300x an it's just down down down, all then nice little hits that kept your balance ok for the last hour have disappeared an it sends you back down to 100x again in 2 minutes, seen it happen 100 times

When you hit one of the top prizes on a fruit game like that, take it and run. It's very rare to go on a run on any slot, let alone one of those.

 

[clogs]

It's just before you hit say the 500x you were never more than 70 down after 30 mins of play so you figure enjoy the moment an keep spinning, but then 5 mins later it's already taken back 200x an you think ok im due after this worst possible run, then 5 mins later your down another 200x an your thinking wait a min l, 30 mins an only went down 70x at one point but now you hit big your down 400x in 10 minutes an your there thinking, where is the investigation into this

Very well put. Exactly my thoughts as well. Base game nowadays pays fuck all and the only way to win is to either buy a bonus or wait until one lands. And even then absolutely nothing is guaranteed. The bonus could pay 5x bet.

There's not really any point in playing slots anymore. I get no kick out of buying bonuses on slots and the base game is dead spin city on most slots, so it's become fucking boring to look at 200-300 spins that are mostly dead spins and just wait for the bonus to come in.

 

[The Reel Story]

That just happened to be around the same time all of sudden the slots went to html. I know why they went to html. I'm sure it was to do with a security breach on flash. So it had to be done. I get that. But you have to ask yourself.......

Games were changed to HTML for several reasons, but the main two were:

1. Apple blocked flash on iPhones
2. Adobe were floating some bonkers policy of taking a revenue share of any app built in Flash. They walked it back after massive backlash (same as what happened with Unity), but combined with point 1 it caused people to jump ship. Imagine adobe taking 3% of all your gambling revenue? No chance were the Casino's or platforms going to do that.

It was a huge pain, because HTML is a shite technology and it made producing games much harder and more expensive (which is also why the production values went down). Flash was a much better technology (and more performant than HTML on mobile). Apple just wanted to push their app store, and Flash could do anything their apps could do but on the web, so they blocked it so people would go buy apps. Thanks Apple, set web technology back years.

The front end being changed from Flash to HTML did not affect the back ends. They all used the same game engine they always did (It's possible providers took the opportunity to update math models for higher volatility if they felt like it though. I can't say I ever saw this happen to a single game that ran through my area).

As for the rest of this thread, no, they're not rigged. You won't believe me, but the real reason was already addressed above around volatility and pushes towards all the payback being in bonuses. If you have infinite balance, sure, you'll get 96% return, but when you have a finite balance, high volatility means you bust out and don't get a chance to hit the 'big one' that levels out your return. This is the trend of slots these days (and I agree, it's not really great).

Flash was outdated and filled with holes. It was just a matter of time before it was canned. Apple or not.

 

[The Reel Story]

Flash was outdated and filled with holes. It was just a matter of time before it was canned. Apple or not.

It really wasn't. Security wise it was actually pretty solid for something that had billions of users. And technology wise it was far in advance of today's web technologies. Code something once using an event driven OO language and it would work everywhere vs HTML and JS which is totally standards based, and relies on every browser developer to implement everything in exactly the same way.

Having been on the front line of the change from Flash to HTML5, I can tell you, the cost of production and testing of games increased about 8 fold and the quality reduced. If Flash was outdated, then HTML is neolithic.

It was actually its accessibility that was the problem. It made it so easy for people to make stuff, that people who didn't really know what they were doing became 'flash developers', and they made trash apps with loads of security holes in them. The number of 'developers' I worked with who didn't know up from down was astonishing.

I will never be convinced online slots are totally random and not based on patterns of play deposits etc. I have seen way too much evidence first hand for me to think anything other than rigged burgers with ?

High volatility is what they say when everyone is used to losing all their money

 

[snorky510238]

The thing that doesn’t add up, is when you have players that have hammered certain games for years and know exactly what to expect, suddenly finding that the game no longer pays or plays, like it used to do.

There is overwhelming evidence to support these findings on games such as Bonanza, that allegedly, still runs at full rtp.

As mentioned, the vast majority (cant say all because I don’t play them) of Netent’s portfolio pay nowhere near like they did. Jungle Spirit is a prime example. Never had a great base game but x500 in the bonus was reasonably frequent. Then all of a sudden hitting a bonus that paid x100 was virtually impossible.

These aren’t coincides or huge runs of bad luck. At best it’s because the maths model has been changed but I honestly think providers are running games at lower rtp’s than advertised.

Let’s be honest, why wouldn’t they? Don’t tell me for a second that they are regulated worth a shite because I don’t believe that either, not for a second. The way the whole thing is set up makes it impossible to nail providers. There are too many outs for them.

 

[TheAddict]

After spending however long it takes to get 100+ wild lines on DOA, prior to Evo, and then donating 20,000 x stake after evo got their demonic paws all over it, to enjoy getting 5 lots of extra spins from the features accumulated within ( lets ignore the fact 5x sherriff badges or gun holsters now consistently disappear for 5x longer gaps than before during he basegame, cause its ok, because according to my play during that time, you can now actually land 5xwilds in the base game to make up for it, isn't that fucking fantasticly great, I'd never hihat prior to evo, neither hardly has anyone, so who the fuck needs a sticky wildline?!)

oh shit, where was I, ah yes, 20,000 loss, in return for 5x lots of extra spins, where 4 paid below 40x, one above 40x, paying 300x.

Sure, it spat out 5 scatters during that time, but any seasoned DOA pro will tell you this never used to happen. Ceartinly didn't happen once during the ten years I accumulated 100+ WL's anyway. Jono777's description is exactly what wha I endured with the 5oak absentees , too.

Obviously, I no longer play the game. Or any for tha matter. It was fun though, once upon a time.

Player loses down to 3.91 left im the balance.

Bonus round lands, and randomly out of all the amounts it could randomly select. It happens to put you right back to the balance you just had. This can happen over and over through out sessions were it almost feels like there a thresholds in place.

Random burgers with chips ?

Was gonna say this, happens to me all the time. Bonus game takes me back up to within a few pence of my starting balance, which is routinely destroyed thereafter.

L’il Devil is the worst for it. Finally unlock heartstopper spins and win just enough to take me to the start of my last deposit. Sigh…
