I've not played cards there, so can't comment, but I would add two observations: a) that having played their slots a lot, they are high variance (streaky) on the whole, but personally I see no reason to think they are unfair and b) I think it always helps if casinos publish monthly independent audited returns by game from a reputable auditor obviously!)
You mean like the one's Enron,Adelphia,Bear Stearns,MCI-Worldcom,HealthSouth used and the list goes on and on.......I have over 100 documents pursuant to a 3DICE Blackjack audit I attempted to obtain at my own expense last year that may or may not have been a fully fair independent audit.......I offered all correspondence to CM but for whatever reason he expressed no interest in seeing full disclosure or even partial disclosure of it.......I do not think any conclusions as to fair gaming can be definitively drawn but certainly other conlusions make for good debate......Currently at my expense, I am having all the documents professionally assembled for presentation elsewhere.......As Kellyblend ,iirc, an auditor him/herself, said (paraphrasing) so well in one of the original Absolute Poker threads, most casinos or for that matter companies use strong arm bullying tactics to manipulate reputable independent auditors through a multitude of various tactics therefore reputable and independent means absolutely (npi) nothing if a fully reputable auditor has no backbone.
I tend to agree that casinos shouldn't deal with individual issues publically as in the case Berny's stats, however if a player makes the decision to go public with a view to casting doubts about a business then it's their decision, and it's difficult to have sympathy when the actual figures are published to balance the criticism
I will not even touch this, after having been assured and reassured by the auditor that the audit was correct (with a couple insignicant minor required corrections based on 3DICE"S at the time confusing conspiracy type allegations) by both telephone and an e-mail. I then posted the subject Introduction and Summary Conclusions of the Statement of Findings and they were removed from this site within approx.10 minutes (FTR, the auditor requested this post be removed not 3DICE).The auditor had absolutely no right to request this since I had already remitted payment in full pursuant to an invoice that noted all work complete. A travesty that would become even stranger in February 2008.
Finally, I think independent casinos using their own software have to appreciate that there is more risk attached as the full mechanics of how it works are far less clear than with the major software manufacturers. Transparency of information and audited payout percentages I believe are crucial to long term competitiveness. Especially considering gambling is an emotive passtime - the more information that can be provided the more comfortable players will be and the less likely aspersions are cast.
Agree assuming, well see above!
