I am not a fan of the term R.T.P. because I think that it a blanket term that is misleading to players. rtp used in the slot industry and advertised on slots does not explain individual players returns accurately or give the player a realistic idea of what to expect whilst playing slots.
In my opinion it should not be used on slots without other data sets being included too that supply more information to create a more accurate description of that particular game. I think that another problem with slots is the bonus/freespins/feature frequency and how these are divided over any players gaming experience.
I think that the term trp could be interpreted as false advertising and misleading even if the numbers are correct.
I think if a slot has an average feature frequency over the entire worlds play, then there should be a mechanism that can read a players gaming history and automatically issue them a bonus round should they be exceeding the average by a certain percentage. The VAST majority of bonuses do not meet the claimed pay out averages anyway so whats the difference if a player gets a poor bonus round instead of a 20x win? At least the providers could not be seen as falling short on their own claims and the player would get the features they are paying for.
I will use bonanza as an example of what I mean by this. We all know bonanza has the most complaints here about going too long without a feature compared to BTGs touted estimate. Many players, myself included have went up to 5 times more spins than the estimate to trigger a feature and many times when the feature finally comes it is a pathetic return the results of which can be predicted from the first few spins. Not only does this rubbish the providers claim it also brings truly random games into question and this type of play has sowed the seed of doubt in many players minds.
I think this needs to stop because it contradicts what is being claimed and destroys the entire point of a slots session when we do not get bonuses. This is taking the entertainment value away and rendering it useless and therefore it leaves players frustrated annoyed or angry and just makes the providers claims unbelievable. When something is unbeLIEvable the majority of people that experience this will call Bullsh1t eventually.
Obviously when one player wins big, others must lose to compensate this. Perhaps the only way to ensure all players have better chances is to cap wins in currency values. So no matter your stake there is a max win (that is lower than existing caps now) to ensure more players are getting a return instead of 1000 losers for one winner. It could be 10 winners for 100 losers if the max wins where weighted and capped differently, therefore more happy customers and less people feeling ripped off.
With the gambling industry under the spotlight and casinos getting fined on a monthly basis for ineptitude or breaking player protection laws and igaming getting the most public and political criticism it has had since its inception (except for maybe around black friday when all the poker cheats/thieves where exposed) I think the onus should be all providers to ensure that individual players are not getting undercut in terms of their entertainment value and their cash returns.
What do you guys think about this and do you have any input on the matter? Thanks Mike!
