Okay, this is not going to be an endless debate about VARIANCE, RNG's OR RTP's. As I am still pondering them from other threads I had gotten myself into.
This is about the low roller, 20 cent to 75 cent players not finding the good play anymore and it is a fact despite the statistics of the above that the small player/low roller is being systematically exterminated from online casinos.
My reason for thinking this way is not based only on my experience but on the experience of many many posters here saying the same thing.
Can't get the bonus rounds or the free spins and the payouts are very rarely more than the wager amount. Usually the line win payouts are coming in at well below the wager amount keeping the low roller on a constant decline until they/we have busted out again and again.
Think about how when a new casino comes on board the play for everyone is very good and fair. Then they become known to the entire playing public and are hit with scads of high rollers, people that can afford to wager $2 and up. Now they have to rethink the RTP so they are not taken to the cleaners by the big money payers. How would they do this and yet still have the same statistics? My guess is and I have said this before, that they are spreading the wins out that are above the players wager amount and freespin/bonus rounds where a great deal can be won by the high rollers, by increasing the smaller wins (less than wager amount) inbetween the big wins. If a casino has increased smaller wins and decreased large wins then the RTP has not changed.
Think of it as a mile marker, for every mile you have a 1/4 mile marker, each of the 1/4 mile markers are a decent win with the less than decent to none inbetween every 1/4 mile marker and the 1 mile marker is the freespin/bonus round triggers. Now remove the 1/4 mile marker and only have the 1/2 mile marker and 1 mile marker, two of the now gone 1/4 mile markers have become the less than wager amount win to no win and the 1/2 mile has become the win equal to or above the wager amount as has the 1 mile marker. Now the freespin round/bonus rounds have been set to the 2 mile marker with the same amount of distance not changing between the 1/4 mile to the 2 mile thus not changing the RTP either. You still have the same RTP because statistically you are giving the same amount of wins spread out in smaller amounts. This keeps the casino at a constant attitude of what they are paying out keeping them in the profit margins they require and still be able to pay the high rollers the types of wins they are getting at the cost of sacrificing the low rollers.
Or think in terms of $1, they can still give the %100 of the dollar but in pennies instead of quarters, 50 cents or the $1.
That is why we are not heard, because if the line win amouts were adjusted back to the original 1 mile marker settings the high rollers would kill the casino business and I'm sure casinos would rather sacrifice the low rollers than themselves. So it will never be like it was for the little player ever again.
Hopefully I have not confused to many with this thought but maybe the real issue is not the RTP or RNG or Variance, it's the high rollers that are killing it for the low rollers because they have the means to keep banging away at a casino and walking away with decent sized bankrolls on a regular basis, where if we the low rollers manage to walk away with $50 anymore we feel we hit the jackpot.
I will add to be fair to the high rollers that maybe there are just to many of us low rollers too.
Just my opinion.
