Hi weesie. Good to see you too.
I asked some questions in another thread about how expensive it is to change TRTP, and it is really really expensive. Basically, it is like designing a brand new slot. And we all know how long a new release takes. Now, maybe 3Dice's design team is small and doesn't cost as much as some, but we are talking way more than 100K. And they would have to put every player on a different server to offer different players different TRTPs.
Now, that is not to say that none of the slots have ever been lowered, but they would have to swap it out with nobody on the game. If site is down for upgrades or maintenace, that would be the time.
What can be done is new releases being lower to begin with.
And you do not know what a player is spending. I could win 2500, and just keep playing until it was gone.
I haven't reviewed their loyalty terms lately, but yes, Gold has it privileges, but your play needs to be pretty high to get it.
As for getting more playtime, try playing Video Poker. As far as I know, the suggested hold cards are correct strategy. There was a lot of discussion a few years ago, and one or two errors were fixed, and Enzo showed the math why some others people questioned were correct. You can visit a site like Wizard of Odds and there are TRTPs for all kinds of different VPs, because they do not all have same paytables. You can also find out Keno odds too. Do they still offer that? That usually doesn't have the best TRTP (don't play max numbers, it might happen once a year at a vegas casino), but it is slow to play. Table games and video poker are not the same for wagering, you would need to check that yourself.
The Wheel of Fortune games use part of the base game (and wheel) RTP to fund the jackpot. So it's a poor value when it has just been reset, and at some point when it goes over a certain amount, it is in favour of the player. Doesn't mean you will win it, and I don't know what that point is either. But if it is unusually high, good time to play. Flo and Martin always hit them pretty heavy when they were. I might too, at least as much as I could, but never did hit one.
There is also variance. Some slots can give huge wins, but is harder to get a bonus round, or there is almost nothing unless you get a bonus round. Others hit the bonus more often, but you will not get some 3000x bet ever, but you will get smaller, keep you going kind of wins too.
When you do hit a bonus round, throw your hands in the air, and sing at least some of We are the Champions at the top of your lungs before pressing spin. This will not improve your luck, but will take a bit of time (and slow your play). Releases endorphins too. It also has the added perk of annoying your teenagers, lol. They already think you are crazy, ha ha.
The other way to increase your playtime is to bet smaller. 9 cent squirrels, less lines on payola or tut etc.
When you do win and throw a tourney, don't go overboard. I used to call it "tithing". Mine always cost me double, because I always would give my kid at least that much. Or host some kind of chat contest instead. These can be fun for you to do, and take a bit of your time away from the slots. They don't have to be big, people love games, and any chance to win a bit of money. Sometimes I wouldn't even be winning, but I could have more fun with $5 for 15 or 20 minutes than I was having in real. Were you ever there for Win Jazzy's Money? I'd ask "who wants to win my money". I'd pick the first 5 people that said me, or I'd ask for people to wave, or something like that. Then I would have each of them pick a way for me to bet $1, or $2. So for instance, if it was $2, I would split what ever was left after $10 worth of bets between those five people, up to a maximum of say $25, in case I got a big hit. If I won nothing, no one got anything. If I only had a couple of bucks, I would do some kind of tiebreaker, or give it to the player that got me the biggest win. There is probably still the template for hangman still, that's a good one to play too.
Tell everyone Jazzy says hi.
.
....is there anything a player can do to make their playtime or RTP better?
so whats up with netent, good slots?
... Whatever is going on with their loyalty and how its decided is beyond me. Played over 2000 in the last month and a half alone...won about 800 and down to silver 2 from silver 4 
. 5 months of losing to get that small bit. I was told i was at a 100% RTP ...i don't know about that and i was also chat banned for ...... ok as if i care. I don't chat much anymore anyways. I have pay pal receipts to prove how much i have been playing. If it goes by play time and luck, how the heck did i get down to silver 2? To whom ever watches the thread and goes back to report my post like a good little lappy i don't care about that either. Whoever said cult is about right. Chat went down for hours and people were frantic 
. If you think this post is about losing you don't know me at all. This post is about loyalty and i have seen a lot of people trying to figure out how the heck it is figured.
