When money is involved emotions are stronger and more explicit.
You will never rid the slot world of the 'Rigged' term. If everybody were to go about as sheep believing everything anyone who ever designed a slot said - then I would question our sanity. Even some of the most celebrated scientists in the world make discoveries, which are accepted and then later disproved is evidence enough that what everyone says or claims is not written in stone.
The human nature is simply to question everything, whether they are losing or not. I've seen people lose and say a slot is rigged. On the other hand, people also win and say its 'Broken'.
A lot of the comments on 'Rigged' / 'Compensated' type can also be down to crude humour or just the fact that people want to express their disdain at what they are seeing in the strongest possible manner.
I have used the words 'compenrigsated' amongst others. People are entitled to voice their opinions on matters and are also entitled to free speech. If their actions transgress any rules the forum has, then they can be dealt with accordingly. We should never stop the banter / debates and arguments as long as they are kept civilized and
respectful.
Dragging someone through the mud, calling them problem gamblers and asserting your own judgement because a person questions the integrity or behavior of a game is a low blow. We all have opinions, whether correct or not. A fair example is a Donald Trump debate - you are on either one side or the other. No matter what the opposite camp says, your opinion or stance will never change. But... there is no need to try to sling mud at one another, question sanity, question addictions and make assumptions over other people.
That being said, games that
BTG churn out are 100% aimed at the tilting individual. The mechanics of the game are intended to appeal to slot players who love a bit of a chase (often with disastrous results). They haven't created games for the good of mankind and to make you win... they're in the game to make money.. and lots of it. Every provider is in the same game - just none of them try to claim they are responsible gaming advocates and then release games contrary to their original statements.
Should Extra Chilli be banned? No, I dont think so. I do believe that some sort of control needs to be put in place so that players don't lose their houses buying features at 2000 Eur a pop. If the UKGC is serious about protecting their players, then this is something they should look into with urgency. Feature buys / Feature
Gambles and the like are not doing the industry any favors. They are solely aimed at increasing your spend in the shortest possible time. People who were spinning at 0.20p are now buying features at 10 pound a time - technically spinning for a single outcome at 50x the bet size they would normally.
The mere psychology of entering the bonus round is enough to entice this type of behavior and the 100 pounds the player would usually use over a course of 3 days is now gone in under 10 mins. This is enough to make any individual tilt or chase and this is largely what BTG is exploiting.
Who wants to be a millionaire (or homeless) continues with using a brand name (where you can actually win a million) to further tilt players with the feature gambles. Has anyone even considered complaining to the ASA about this? Technically its false advertising as you can't win a million.

but I would have to have concrete evidence personally to start a thread along those lines, that said I'm a low roller so a bad night for me is £200 lost, when thousands of pounds in one night are involved the emotions will naturally run much higher [of course also depending on the persons income level].
