Thanks for the info.
IMO this is anything but exciting and great news. I loved the uniqueness of your slots. No one else had the same type of slots. Why are you moving to a software that is already so widely known and available. Maybe the answer is in the question.

I was shocked when I got this email today. Does this mean that no one will have the Wizard games anymore? Sorry to take this out on the messenger. Your games have been great, and seemed to be on the path to better games with new features. What happened?

At any rate, good luck with RTG. Of Course they have really great games, especially London Inspector, but I can play it anywhere. I don't regret sharing my good experiences with Wizard, I'm just so sad you are gone:sob:

 

[yoshirules]

I was also shocked.
Rtg games I can play it anywhere.
Wizard gaming slots are unique

 

[me_and_ed]

I guess that will leave the Rushmore group to get their Wizard Gaming casino up and running.

 

[secret2]

Oooops!

So sorry!! I started a thread about this just now...please can someone help me delete it for me...don't know how to do it.

 

[silcnlayc]

After careful consideration, the management of All Star Slots has decided to move its software platform to RTG (Real Time Gaming)

Now that sucks big time...Another RTG ....like we need a hole in the head...I did say eveyone will be opening up one didn't I!

In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy All Star Slots

Worst part is I closed my account here because of all the dumb stuff but loved the games...and was waiting for the updates before coming back..


Geezes...another RTG....and another, and another.....

.

 

[Rusty]

Ha, coincides with me trying Doyles room RTG and what a joke that was.
I'm guessing but I would say 1 bonus round in over 1000 spins.
The slots there like most RTG are so tight you have lost your money before you begin to play.
This 91% lowest payout setting is another myth that needs to be killed.

I think this is interesting news though.
I am just speculating wildly here but if the Rushmore groups new Casino is Wizzard gaming then I reckon it will look and play a bit different to the allstar Slots version.

 

[KasinoKing]

Well I have to totally agree with the others above - switching to RTG is just INSANE!
In fact, it is the most ridiculous thing I've heard this year.

Oh well, that's one less casino that I will be playing at...

I sincerely hope someone will keep Wizard Gaming alive - we really NEED unique softwares like this. I hope it doesn't go the same way as the fabulous Player Preferred brand...

KK

 

[slotheadlizard]

Wizard

Upon hearing of this crazy decision, I pm'd the Wizard Rep on here. They said that they are working with other operators and hope to continue the brand soon. I'm pushing for that. I hope many casinos will take up this software if/when gambling returns to the U.S.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be like Hype. Man I loved those unique games, but the casinos where rogue. I never saw the games turn up again-R.I.P. Hype. (software, not the Casinos!)

 

[CasinoKidd]

All I can say is, what a shame. All Star Slots was unique and exciting with their use of the Wizard Gaming Platform, and a choice was made to move to RTG, probably because of marketability and an expansion of options. It's just a business decision.

However, All Star Slots has now lost it's appeal. Many, many of the players here who play at RTG's as well as All Star Slots will now simply abandon All Star Slots rather than continue playing with a different software. Players would rather play at the established casinos such as iNetBet, ClubWorld, Rushmore... etc. That's probably a decision AS-Slots has not anticipated enough - and it's going to cost them.

Not very "exciting" news... just sad.

 

[me_and_ed]

I am sure this decision must have had something to do with the inability to advance the software and make appropriate changes, so yes definitely a viabilty decision I am assuming too. Correct me if I am wrong or have missed previous posts but wasnt Rushmore group opening a new casino Slots Ville or something like that and it was going to be wizard?

 

[cynthial]

Uninstalled at 5:49 pm Mountain Standard Time. I have enough RTG already so RIP All Star Slots.

 

[All Star Slots]

Hello all,

Thank you for your posts and contributions.

As this has been a management decision, you can appreciate that we cant go into detail out of respect of our current software provider, contractual obligations and company confidentiality.

With regard to the future of Wizard Gaming, I am sure their representatives will ease any concerns that you may have.

Though the software switch is undoubtedly the biggest change happening at All Star Slots, our players and affiliates will be informed of all of the unique benefits that this move will create in the next couple of weeks.

As has been mentioned, this hard decision will not be to the taste of everyone, but as the famous saying goes, You can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you cant please all of the people all of time. And as such, we are disappointed that some of you will not be joining us in the future because of the move.

Though we will be functioning using the same suite of games that other RTG operators currently use, All Star Slots will continue to set itself apart, as we know that a successful online casino is defined by more than just the software it uses.

We understand that moving onto a software provider that already has established operators will be a challenge (and are under no illusions as to how big a challenge this will be) but we are confident that we can continue to grow our brand in the right direction as we have been in the last year of operation.

Thank you once again for your feedback and thoughts.

Kind regards,
Denny
All Star Slots

 

[silcnlayc]

to grow our brand in the right direction

What a bad decision in my opinion. This brand has been around for many years and the only thing that will make a new casino stand out will be fast pay.

Just as you have chosen to move over to RTG, so have many others to capture the USA market but it is starting to backfire due to the casinos inability to actually be efficient in the withdrawal processing. Only a handful have earned this distinction, many have fallen by the wayside after a great beginning.

I think if you guys would have just hung in there and had those few fixes done, your casino would have been one of the top few that players would play at since you already had great customer service and the quick withdrawal in place.

I am still amazed you would toss all that your casino has acomplished to join the hundreds of RTG's already in place. If you have kept informed, you would know many of us are looking for new homes other than RTG"s and many are closing their accounts with this platform due to lousy payouts/performance .

You will be nothing special to offer players , unlike now, where you have a great casino to offer.

.

[Nifty29]

I reckon this decision rates right up there with Operation Barbarossa.

I loved the Wizard games, I just hated the stupid bonus system so I seldom played.

Such a shame, like when all the Hype slots disappeared - something new and exciting but someone wasnt right on the ball when it came to management.

(FYI you can play the old Hype slots now (NO US ) at a couple of bingo sites..I dont post url's so if anyone wants them just PM me)

All Star Slots RTG - Ho Hum.

 

[Deeplay]

All Star Slots[/QUOTE]

Well I never played at All Star but the only thing that could set you apart is fast payouts e.g 24 hours or less and zero limits on withdraws. E.g none of this "we will pay you in insallments over xxx weeks" no casino gets my bling ever with these terms. And those Casinos that do pay fast & in 1 go get me to open my wallet week in week out. Do the math But good luck with the move

Wanted to put out a post here in regards to the news that All Star Slots will be switching to a new provider.

Development and operations at Wizard Gaming will continue as planned.

We are in fact only days away from releasing our next version (5.0) which will have new slots, video poker, and European blackjack.

We hope to bring new licensees live in the near future.

For Wizard, this has always been a long term project.

All Star Slots is an independent operator of ours, and with that independence it does mean that in not all cases will our interests be the same as theirs.

We are thankful to them for the input they have given us over the last couple of years.

Even prior to their going live with us we were working extensively with their team to make what goes on behind the scenes with our software as functional and efficient as possible.

To this end we really couldn't have asked for better technical input from an operator.

I do want to thank the players that have commented here on the aspects of our software that they enjoy and for their desire to continue playing Wizard games.

We look forward to continuing to work with our players to ensure we deliver the highest quality slots and online gaming experience with our upcoming 5.0 and on in to the future.

Creating games players find to be unique and exciting means a lot to us, so we're glad to know players here are eager to have an operator to experience them on.

Okay thats great, where do we go to play when we want the Wizardgaming software?

 

[triple777s]

Well this is a first for me! I have never seen a "software provider" come to a forum and comment on whats happening with there product! Geez, Microgaming could take a "clue" from this company!!!
Thank you Wizard Gaming for taking the time to address everyone here. Kudos!

Ok so im going to be the odd apple out here. I never liked wizard gaming slots. Ok ok they have a few which are fun, the rest are lame. Most dont even have multipliers on their free spins which = boring. I personally thought the payouts were crap even with the bonus rounds and the free spins, and as KK has listed on his site himself, there are only a handfull of their slots you stand ANY chance of winning big on. Switching to Rtg, i dont know, there are an awful lot of them about now, so not sure i agree with the software their changing too, but one thing is clear, the logic remains the same. Allstar slots are obviously not happy with wizard and their obviously not happy with their turnover and player base with wizard, otherwise they wouldnt be changing. People dont change a successful formula. Since they are it stands to reason.... it isnt.

True. My personal feeling (I don't know any more facts than anyone else), is that All Star got fed up with waiting for Wizard to roll out the next upgrade.
Version 4 was released on March 4th, so they've been waiting for version 5 for over 5 months which is a very long time in the gambling world.

The other problem they may have had is simply not making enough money. As you know, I am an affiliate for All Star and I can tell you the players I bought in won a lot more than they lost! From when I started promoting them until now, all my players combined won $1,280 nett profit from the casino.
Maybe their slots are not a bad as you think!
I 100% want to see more casinos using Wizard software.

I agree it would be nice to see a new software player out there.
Competition is what is needed and what is the main way a software supplier can set itself apart game-play wise?
Slots.
All other table game rules and design are set in stone and only the graphics and presentation differ slightly.
So I expect this is where Wizzard will be concentrating their efforts.
Unfortunately, going by past experience, I do not see them breaking away from using similar methods of calculating returns and control and rationing bonus rounds to the main software players.
Still we live in hope and I do expect to see some innovation in slot design.

As for slot returns they were no better or worse than other software as far as I could tell.
Are you sure those profits were on slots KK?

 

[KasinoKing]

Are you sure those profits were on slots KK?

Good point - no I don't have that detail.
The only other game they have is Blackjack of course - it could possibly have been on that... (?)

[KasinoKing]

How ironic!
All Star now have 2 brand new slots: Groove City & Rocket Girl

You have just 7 days left to play these guys, before they & all the other Wizard games disappear forever...
(I hope I'm wrong... but I doubt it).

Not having a casino to play these new games is a blessing, they suck.....literally, why boast free spins when they are almost impossible to hit, some bonus rounds but even at max bet 20-30x, had bonus spins once in 500 spins on Rocket Girl playing max bet, 3x my bet won . Wizard gonna have to do better than this, people need to win sometimes too.

Sorry you didn't hit more, but very large wins are possible with these new slots. Players have often told us they want high variance, and these new slots and Rocket Girl in particular allow for huge wins.

That can't happen with each round of play, and even 500 spins is ultimately from a math point of view not a huge amount of play.

But these are high variance slots, so if looking for a more conistent win pattern of lower wins, I'd try other of our slots.

As KK pointed out:

So players _can_ win on our slots! KK's stats would reflect _all_ his players over _all_ time promoting All Star.

 

[Jasminebed]

Wizard, I do hope you find a new home soon.

I like how you've participated in this board, sought and USED input from players and rolled out some new games.

Really, the matter of the increasing playthrough requirements if you won with bonus funds (or part bonus funds) and the necessity to keep exiting games to check on your status was the only thing keeping me from playing.

You said that was to be fixed in the next upgrade: Did you get that into V 5.0?

Wizard already answered this question in the thread in Industry Discussions:
https://www.casinomeister.com/forum...-wizard-gaming-a-new-software-provider.26757/ Post #187
They have done this on the two new slots only so far, but will do it on all of then in time.
It does work - hover mouse just above the "Balance" window & you can see the cash & bonus values.

I understand variance, the issue is that if the bonus does not get hit there is no hope on these slots due to the fact that the base game payouts are so low. 500 spins is not a lot of spins, however at an average of a dollar a spin I lose $400 to get 500 spins, I dont know many players that can take these kind of losses in .

Can only say that the potential to win very big is there. For instance on the new slot Rocket Girl, one can win 30 free spins with a 6x multiplier so that can be a mighty large win.

For instance, I was playing in free mode today and on a 250 coin spin did win about 9700 coins on Rocket Girl (from free spins).

I really had only got to about 12 spins or so before I hit that feature.

 

[silcnlayc]

I wasn't going to reply but the devil made me...

so that can be a mighty large win.

The key word here is CAN not will. I too played it in fun mode and then tested it in real mode and the reality is, for the $2.50 bet, the avg BONUS FREE SPIN win is anywhere between $15.00 and $20.00. I know, I hit the free spin bonus a few times and hit it up to the 5x times multiplier and ended up with around $25.00 betting $2.50, just pitiful...again...

Yea, yea, I know...VARIANCE....if it weren't so damn sad it would be too funny....for every ONE good hit it will take 1000's of losers IMO, so now all the variance people are going to come climbing out of the walls saying some kind of unintelligable gibberish about VARIANCE when it all comes down to casino controlled payouts...and that is NOT variance...no matter how it is turned..if it were then, and again I say, we would see runs of winners just as we ALWAYS see a run on LOSERS...but this NEVER happens...winners are few and FAR between....

Just as I asked why have a bonus hit inside a bonus when it cannot be triggered? Answer, it MAY hit big so a bonus hit inside a bonus is a dead hit and so now is a moot point during bonus rounds...which is so wrong in so many ways and again, jmo.


Whatever...

I really had only got to about 12 spins or so before I hit that feature.

Well I was playing in real mode and did not hit the bonus spins at all, and 40X is not a big hit on a $2.50 bet. I had what I consider to be a large hit, $1893 on HEA when it was newly rereleased, I have never seen gameplay like I did that first weekend it was released, I have never even come close to a cashout since then, I still contend gameplay was changed somnewhat since shortly after that release, I think by the amount of winner screenshot that should somewhat verify that it is very tough to make the big hit. There seems to be no in between, that is all I am trying to say here, not a Wizard trashfest.

 

[silcnlayc]

not a Wizard trashfest

My sentiments also...no trashing meant at all, just examples of play as yours is...you show HUGE we show ACTUAL....reality...

The first free spin hit was for 20 spins x 3...and then it retriggered (finally a game that allows this!) for 8 spins x 5...total win was $22.00 for 28 spins x an average multiplier of 4......I then hit the other bonuses...and you can see the results...not very impressive at all...cost hundreds to hit this few returns...average return on 5 bonus rounds...$25.00!!!!
