Decent Winning Runs

[jonevegas]

Is it just me or is anybody finding it harder with M/G to get a decent winning streak going. In the past, especially before Viper I could hit a decent hit $250-$300.00 and switch games and lots of times end up with $1000.00 plus, nowadays I can get a $250.00 hit but its all down hill after that. So please respond and let me know if it is my shitty luck or a trend in the software.

Absolutely agree with that one. Getting to $250 isn't a problem, I can do it frequently. And considering most of my deposits are in the $25-$50 range, if I were smart (stfu everyone), I'd cashout. But I keep thinking I can take it a little bit higher. HA!! What happens instead is that you steadily decline until you're back where you started, and then you really can't hit shit.

I haven't even played in about a week and a half so I'm judging it by the few weeks previous to that.

Hello "jonevegas",


I could count the number of times I've reached $1,000 off of an MG casino with my hands (or perhaps with the addition of a couple of toes). But I would concur that it seems that getting around the $250-300 range seems to happen quit a bit (in my experience), off of let's say... a $50-100 deposit. Getting over that hump though? I can't say it happens too often. It almost feels as though I can't quite get over the $300 range at best (although if and when I do... which isn't very often... I generally make it to the $850-900 range for whatever reason... ).


The two hardest points for me to reach are:


- Getting from $300 to the next step of $400


- Getting from $900 to the next step of $1,000


There was a long stretch for me, where whenever I would deposit $100, I couldn't reach the $200 target. For all the dumb luck, whenever I set low (meager) targets, I NEVER reach them.

It's been months since I have been able to get above my deposit ! Longest dry spell I have ever dealt with.

 

[belgamo]

I feel the same way, but I do believe it is changing. I play spring break and thunderstruck mostly , but the bonus rounds are getting farther apart. So this weekend i thought I'd try that clone game at fortune lounge casinos called " fortune lounge" , well if I wasn't quite pleasantly surprised. I deposited 50.00 at platinum flushed out 950.00 , then I redeemed 12.00 of loyalty points at havana,flushed 550.00 there. So i was suspecting that they loosened up this slot so I went to royal vegas deposited 50.00 flushed 300.00.
Then off to vegas palms deposited 50.00 , flushed 400.00 , then to vegas towers dep 50.00 -busted out.No worries off to 7sultans dep 50.00 flushed out another 300.00. today all 2500.00 (2,250.00 gain) in my neteller account all from playing "fortune lounge" , not one bet above .90 . This is my new favorite!

Thats awesome, send some of that luck this way.

The same here and also in $50-$100 range deposits. Except Trident Lounge I have no luck at MG since December. I am trying now sobald I won something around $100 - cash out, leaving a little to play, if I win again about $100, again cashout. Seems that casinos have a limit for each player (maybe depending on deposit?)

 

[retlaw]

The same problem with me.
Last week I made deposits at 32Red for 1450 euro (25 - 50 range) and only was able to cash out 2 times 100 euro.
Never had such a bad run since I play there .

 

[Simmo!]

Me too - but I'm pretty laissez-faire about it. After all, i tend to play bonus-slots and thats their nature. 3 months with nothing, then one big spin.

 

[CasinoForumu]

Mee too, with mg casinos.But for last days,I am extremely luck at playtechs.

This thread hit the nail right on the head! On those lucky few occassions when the credits start climbing up rather easily and steadily no matter what you do, there comes a point when you hit what I call the "wall". At this point, no matter what you play or however much you wager you are destined to lose it back. I've been there a million times, and although I can see when it switches, I almost always hang around too long and give most or all of it back. The few times I get to eight or nine hundred dollars, the wall never lets me reach a thousand. Someone once posted that he was told that MG software is programmed to payout during certain time periods of the day for a limited time frame. This sounded silly to me at first, but through experience I have found that when I'm hitting, I can play a variety of games and still win, but when I am losing, no matter what I play I still lose. This experience over and over gives credence to the theory of payouts coming at certain time periods of the day. What do you think?

In my experience, I can't count how many times I could make 400-500 from 50, and then as you say 'the wall' comes and forces me gradually lose it all, if I dont't cashout in time. But it happened to me at different time of day and week, so my personal feeling is that casino let you win to certain amount and no more, depending maybe on your deposit, your previous payout or whatever...

Similar thoughts via experience on this one "tim5ny". We might be wrong, but from what consistently happens, I wouldn't discard that "theory" (although that's all it is at the end of the day... a "theory"). I seem to recall it being "Vinylweatherman" mentioning that (although he already has that "cycle" theory) in a thread several months back.


The most forgettable moments occur whenever I get over the $450 mark (which is usually after a long struggle between $100-400... up and down). It seems that whenever I pass that point (once in a while), literally each time, I shoot up from $450 to the $850-$950 range with great ease (in a short amount of time on top of that... thus I don't remember it like I remember the prolonged dog-fight in the $100-400 range). Getting that final $50 to make a nice even $1,000 cash-out has been my greatest downfall.


If there really is a "wall", I feel as though I've hit it many times. And I've only had that feeling while playing at various (not all) MG casinos. When you're losing at those times, it's like jumping off an incredibly tall mountain without being able to clutch and grab onto anything on the way down. Listening to the slots on "AUTO-SPIN", all you'll hear is the spinning of the reel, with the occasional sound (for example on "Thunderstruck") of one of those "wins" that don't even recoup the bet of the spin (minor wins in the sound of "minor"). Depressing thinking about it...

That's exactly how I feel during these phase!

Thanks to all whom have replied to this thread so far your input is valued.

 

[AussieDave]

tim5ny,

That wall theory rings true to me too. Thanks I was starting to think maybe I'd lost a few more marbles while further digging that hole


From reading everyone's posts I see an evident layer that mostly every one is experiencing shitty play right now at MG casinos. Sure things were easier back in the days pre Viper and even pre Thumper but the slots really sucked way back then.

I've really cut my wagering down and most bets are no more than 45cents on the 9lines (Spring Break, Ladies Night, Thunderstruck). I drop $50 - $100 max and don't chase wins anymore either. But even at that price I used to be able to gain some type of fun, these days I blink and I've been suckered $30 bucks in no time, with little or no wins to show.

My theory...

When MG started to push out new games each month these have imo altered the % payouts of all games. From my understanding the win/loss percentage is taken over all games. So would it not be a factor if the number of games increased, would this not deflate the overall casino payout percentage?

Other than that I'll bury my head in the sand and call for the bastards to flick the switch back on.

I'm not having any fun anymore.

PS As side thought I've seen this before going back as far as Pre Thumper. No matter what MG I played for 3 months or so I could'nt hit a barn door with a tractor. Then all of a sudden, Whamo sh^t started hitting again.

LOL Lydia...me too!! My term for it is a War of Attrition. Who's gonna last longer...me or the slot? All I know for sure is that when you're gonna win, or meant to win, it's not that hard.

 

[venetian]

johnsteed, when you talk about the dog fight to get up to 100-400 and then if you get there you can shoot up somewhat easily. I know for me that the reason it's such a battle to get up is that I am betting conservativley to that point. But when I get to 300-500 range it's balls to the walls and I raise my bet sometime double what I would normally. Bet bigger and win bigger. That is why I think it is easier to get into the 600-900 range. But that aside, I have noticed that in the forum that we are all having tough times. I have stopped playing for the last week or so because it doesn't matter where or how much I play...I cannot win. The last straw was at spin palace this weekend, deposited $300 and only once got over my deposit (barely). I'm with you Trezz...I am having no fun at all!

I totally agree with this also ! I go through phases where I will will only at 1-4 AM and then other times where I will only win at 6-11 in the evening. I can deal with that ! It's the times where no matter what time of the day I play I can not hit on anything at all that makes me absolutely crazy !

I like that Venetian....only a real woman could use that phrase and actually carry if off, lol.

Funny sidenote...I was talking to a friend of mine the other night and happened to say that I "wish I had the balls to do something"....he replied with "no comment on that one, cause no matter what I say, it's a no-win situation"......

.

I think there's alot of truth to your theory Trezz. Most or even all players have a certain few games that they play, so even if a casino had the same payout percentage as they did pre-viper ( and I think it's gotten much tighter since pre-viper ) , then the payouts per individual game would be higher due to the fact that there were only a few games to choose from compared with now. So spreading the same payout percentage over 100 games as opposed to say 20 would drastically decrease someones chance of winning if they only played 4 or 5 of their favorite games which I think most slot players do. So the adding of new and exciting games has taken a payout percentage and spread it out over a much broader playing field and therefore lessens a players chance.

Decent Runs...

...I had one last week, but that quickly came to an end. It's almost as if they all of a sudden turned off all the slots!

 

[Mousey]

It's been months since I have been able to get above my deposit ! Longest dry spell I have ever dealt with.

It's been horrible.

Forget about me hitting anything on slots worth a mention -- my $25 deposits disappear in 2 - 10 minutes. I can't even get any playing time, and that kills any entertainment value. If I ever do get a couple of halfway decent hits then it's bam! like all the slots go dead.

Spin. Nothing. Spin. Nothing. Spin. 13cents Spin. Nothing. Spin.... etc., etc.

And it's not just slots. I can't remember the last time I've hit a RF at an MG casino.. oh wait! yes I can -- a few months ago I hit ONE RF playing 50 hand A&F -- pennies. $40 LOL ... that sucked soooo bad. And it's been like that for me for better than a year, now. Used to hit a RF at least every couple of months somewhere, but I go for months and months between RF now.

With everyone else's luck you may not really want to hear this but my luck has actually turned around in April. I really fought some of the same battles in Feb. and Mar. with regards to not being able to get any kind of a winning streak started. Fortunately this month I have been able to consistently win with minimal deposit's (30.00 - 50.00) and usually cash out with 300.00 - 400.00. It was really about time though as I was becoming frustrated with MG as well. Had some really good luck recently with Harvey's , Moonshine, and even hit all 5 wilds on Isis. I usually bet small so I don't see huge payouts but I'm happy if I can just get ahead consistently. But, aren't we all ?
