I think that 23% is way to low! I received my answer from them now:
It is 6,815 spins and your payout percentage is 108.5%
I change machine very often.
However, I think that you(Skiny) have probably played at machines that for the moment are tight. And you kept playing at those even if they didnt hit at all. That is of course a guess.
Still, 23% is way too screwed. A few weeks ago they had a lot of RJ winners and the slots seemed pretty loose. Maybe they have days were they are tight?
My own thoughts are like this:
I have read about others who say they cant win at RTG slots. I always think that they are playing "wrong".
I have several 100 000 of spins at RTG casinos during less than a year! I record my screen during play to look for patterns(yes I am kind of wacky)
.
At RTG, you HAVE to change machine when 10 spins in a row are bad. The machine will probably not change its behaviour for the next 100 spins.
If someone has won a lot on
Honey to the bee just before you start play it will not pay for a long time. RJ is excluded from this.
Its the same if you win over 15$ on
Honey to the bee, change machine!
There are a few machines you can stay longer than 10 spins,
Outta this world and
Paydirt for example. Of course these are the High Variance ones.
At RTG t doesnt help to change betsize either. The same with Microgaming. With Rival its different.
When it comes to RNG its a bit tricky. We know that a special machine has 97,5% payout and still we know that machines has ups and downs. Hmm, really strange..
Some people will call it rigged, I dont anymore.
RTP is calculated from paytable and patterns on reels. A random generator produces numbers on the outcome exactly when the casino receives your "spin click".
So why is the machine totally dead after someone has won over 500$?
I would be the exact same chance to hit again, but its not like that.
My own guess is that the machine automatically turns to "tight mode" until it either resets by time or ackumulates enough money to "let go" again. This is a way to help the machine to be stable at correct RTP. I mean, if RNG was only random many casinos have to close due to many wins.
Sometimes a machine can go the other way, you win on EVERY spin.
These guesses is probably untrue, and I dont have to know exactly how it works. As long as I know that it has its ups and downs and I use the knowledge to win and have fun.
