Non-Bonus Complaint Is anyone else finding Buzzluck Casino slots very, very tight?

[mclee321]

Just for the record I've made 3 or 4 withdraws (one big one from my second or third deposit, a random jackpot) and probably double the deposits (50-100).

Buzzluck was the first ever RTG I'd ever made a withdraw from in all the years i've played online.

You have to remember RTG's can be all or nothing, I had 5 years plus of nothing before this year. All it takes is one session on a slot that just won't cough up a bonus round, and your deposit is gone. Balance that with the occasional big hit.

Surely you understand this is going to happen, you are playing slots. If you want the win potential of a RTG casino, there aren't any other places besides Buzzluck that offer their kind of service.

I've had big slots wins on each of my 3 last deposits at BL, so I'm not complaining. Cashed out 7x or more of my deposits each time.

As we all know, the payback percentage on RTG slots can be adjusted by the operator, and the lowest setting (which I suspect many use) is a few percent lower than for example Microgaming slots. So poor payback may be an issue.

The thing with RTG slots, though, is that they're pretty much all high to extremely high variance (MG slots on the other hand are mostly lower variance). This means that you will often get little play time for you money on RTG since so much of the payout is locked into big wins. When you do win on RTG though, you often win a lot.

Microgaming, on the other hand, will slowly bleed you dry with lots of small and medium sized wins. The playtime is more uniform, but potential for big wins is very limited.

Point is: if you don't like variance (potential for very big wins, but most often little play time), don't play RTG slots.

THIS is the problem. We KNOW this, so it is a perfectly REASONABLE argument to imply that poor performance is due to the operator in question using the lowest of the possible settings available, which for most slots is 91%. Do not forget that part of this goes towards the Random Jackpot, so the base game, itself high variance, when set at 91% may only be producing an RTP of 89.5% for those players not lucky enough to win the odd RJ. The difference between 89.5%, and the 95% "standard" to which MG slots are set (within a % or so), is VERY significant, and players WILL notice the difference in overall playing time per unit of bankroll.

Try playing Mega Moolah, base game RTP near 88%, and you will see the same bankroll sapping results as RTG, even on the lowest stakes.
