Can online casinos, since they appear to be very computerized, set slot machines to pay liberal or pay stingy? Bare with me and consider that I am a novice with trust issues. I played a reputable casino this last weekend. I put my big $25.00 down and was given $100.00 to play with on top of my $25.00 in real money. 30x's play through. O.K., I did have a ball playing for about 7 or 8 hours the first day I deposited. I only play slots and I like 2 or 3 in particular. I got "lucky" on my first several bets and won $800.00. I played and played winning $600.00, $400.00, numerous $100.00 spins, etc. O.K., I played out the 30x's to use up the bonus money and ended up with over $1,200.00 real cash. I should have taken the money and ran. But did I do that? NO! I ended my play session and the next day I started again. However, when I tried to play again, I got prompts that there was a problem with loading the games and I was supposed to contact the support desk. No live support. Nothing would load. I called the toll free number and the operator..who laughed alot...for no apparent reason I could figure out (I guess she had a problem with compulsive giggling)...told me to "close all other programs running on the PC", (there weren't any) and make sure my firewall wasn't blocking their site (It wasn't...wasn't blocking the night before...wasn't blocking then.). And she said to make sure that "ports 1902 to 2002 were open". (Huh?) Anyway, she said if all those suggestions didn't work I should call back and they would try something different. She didn't sound like "Tech Support" to me... When I signed back into the casino all the games were working and loading just fine. However, I couldn't WIN for loosing! I kid you not. The majority of my winnings were gone in no time at all. Granted, I should have cashed out and ran the night before. I did gamble away everything but $50.00 the next day. Finally, I took the fifty (back into Neteller) and decided that if I tried to spin with this last $50.00...it would be gone as quickly as the rest was. Now, my question is: Is it possible for online casinos to RESET the games so that they don't pay anymore...or pay very stingy? I was wondering that if I won so much on an initial tiny $25.00 first time deposit that maybe the casino decided to reset MY machines in order to claim back as much of their cash money as they could? Or, do the machines pay off big right at first and then take it back later? I know the casinos have the advantage but it just seemed real wierd that the night before I got so many bonus wins and the next day I couldn't get even one. I like the Spectacular Wheel of Wealth and usually I get a bonus spin every so many spins. The day I kept loosing...I got only 2 spins on the bonus wheel per 500 $2.00 spins...and I got a $20.00 "bonus" each time. Also, for all the times I've ever played this slot at any casino, I have never hit the 777. O.K. fellow experienced gamblers, tell me....am I just plain nuts? Can a casino control the payout you get from their download machines? Thanks for listening. I was playing on a Microgaming casino. The "PlayBet" log on this looks real interesting....win, win, win one day... and loose, loose, loose (a whole lot faster) the next.
