I had an unusual experience this evening. I opened a new account at Crazy Vegas, played the free play sign up bonus and racked up £100 GBP sign up bonus which you get credited after a minimum of £25 deposit. I did this - lost the deposit in the blink of an eye and about 30 mins later I got the 100 bonus. Played 2 slots simultaneously - Leagues of fortune and Immortal Romance. I have never played Leagues of Fortune before but it seems high variance and I was doing reasonably well on it. At the same time I opened up a simultaneous IR window and played that in the background on auto-spins to churn through the WR faster (I realise IR is probably not the best game for this). As I was playing I experienced a good run on LOF and the worst run I have ever experienced on IR. I have played IR many many times at a lot of casinos - I know it can be cold but I have never seen anything like this before. At the same time I was doing very well on the other slot such that my balance was not shifting much either way. After about 500 spins of IR in which I had one bonus round that paid next to nothing I closed down LOF and just stuck with IR as I felt that the poor run was due to end. It did not and the bonus quickly evaporated.
I understand that this can happen but I found it very unusual to see the game locked into such a bad run at the same time as an independent slot was throwing money at me. I know that the games are fair, because as we are always told, the games are monitored and assessed for fairness. This particular evening though has aroused my interest into exactly how this is done.
My question is this : Is there any information online that describes how this is actually performed and how many regulatory bodies are there (if more than one). Is the fairness performed on EVERY slot that a company such as MG or IGT produce or is the assessment performed purely on the RNG engine - which may be duplicated into the core of every slot. In such a case, are we allowed to know of the algorithms that do the RNG work? Is the source code itself checked or are the slots just run over a long time and the outcomes tested for randomness??
I realize I am asking a lot of specific questions here but what I am really looking for is a pointer of where to start when researching the answers. I know that a lot of the posters here and casino reps will know a lot about the industry, and maybe able to suggest where to start.
In the interests of transparency, it does not seem unreasonable to think that this information is available in the public domain. After all what use is a regulatory body if it cannot provide details of how it regulates the industry?
