Is this a issue?

WindowPain, there's very rarely anything negative posted about Intercasino at this forum that isn't quickly squashed by its loyal following which number quite a few among this crowd, so don't be surprised if you don't get too many favorable responses to your issue at hand.

That's a bit unfair, Tim - and one which puts you on a tightrope.

I am the one defending Intercasino. I *don't* play at Intercasino, nor have I ever made any significant money with them as an affiliate. They did win the Charity Auction which raised $111K for the tsunami, however.

That being said - what you've just done is tantamount to accusing me of being biased... and I think you know that cannot be true.

The truth will come out when it comes out. No one has anything to hide. But if this thread continues down this dangerous slippery path without good reason I will lock it right up and possibly send some of you to join Casinomeister wherever the heck he is... ;)
 
My comments weren't aimed at you Spear, and I'm sorry if it came across that way, but we all know that certain casinos are allowed more Grace here than others, and deservedly so because they've pretty much earned it. This is a very unusual circumstance from a very reputable casino. Not that they don't have the right to deny a player access to their casino at all, but to ban someone from a certain type of slot machine is quite out of the ordinary given the nature of slots being a brainless game based on pure luck and nothing else. I guess more than anything else, I'm just waiting to hear what reasons the casino has for placing a stop on his slot play on certain types of machines. If they're just being overly-supersticious about this player being too lucky, then that's fine. It's their right, but it is kind of funny. Intercasino has a great name and I highly doubt this thread will hurt them one iota, but to say the least, this thread has really sparked my interest. Even as Slotster says, he's hit huge on their slots before without any repercussions, and I can recall his screenshots, so there must be more to this than what we have heard from the player. After all, we've only heard his side of the story.
 
"Recommended Casinos", which I think are what you are referring to, get what they get because they've earned it.

"Rogue Casinos", another category of casinos here, get what they get because they've earned it.

Not much difference in the way we treat them, if you ask me!

Now - nothing is being squashed, or squelched, or even squeezed here by anyone but me. Intercasino will have to explain this issue just as any other casino would - the only difference here is that I have given some thoughts as to what the likely answer is because I have a good idea of how things work. And I could still be wrong... LOL...

The fact that Slotster is not experiencing the same problem would ordinarily be a strange sign, except that I have already said that a big win on ANY game will cause that game to be locked up by the software for that particular account. So W|nd0wPa|n's hitting a big one on any game will not cause the game to lock up for anyone BUT him.

Like I said - let's keep it calm in here. It's a little bit too early to be speculating on what is happening, it's only been a few days.
 
Let me take this a bit further.

In Las Vegas, it is not unusual for a machine to lock up after a big win. For example, if someone hits a jackpot, the machine locks up - the attendant comes over and reads the data, calls someone else to verify the data, then the machine is unlocked and the person paid. Same thing happens with video poker wins over a certain amount.

What Wagerlogic has done, however, is implement a threshold, if I am not mistaken - not necessarily a single big win, but a cumulative win over a certain amount - which causes the machine to be locked for that account. They will then inspect the data, verify it, then unlock it. The winnings are paid if they do not see any evidence of malfunction or fraud.

The reason Wagerlogic did this is because there was an issue one time where the software had a flaw in some machine or other - I'll dig it up later - and paid out many, many small wins, I think they were cherry wins. Because of this malfunction, many people obviously played these machines because they kept winning - can't blame them, can you?

So they are not blaming anyone for anything at all, at the moment - they just want to make sure that something is not amiss.

Couple years ago I played at Intercasino's Carribean Poker multiplayer table for fun with 1k bets a hand and was disconected every time I got a flush or better clicking on deal. One time I got a staright flush when I relogon I had something like 126K sitting in my account. I think it's a software glitch. I don't think it's a big deal as long as it's not effecting your balance.
 
I would like to know if this has happened to anyone else at Inter after a big hit on the slots? Please PM me if you have.
They do have a policy in there terms and conditions saying they can shut off a game to a player but i kinda took it as a player that was abusing that game.
But in the end i hope after the last email from them that they are not finished with this issue.
And after this is finished i would hope they put this policy some where on there site so we as slotsters know that when we hit a certain limit on a certain game it will be shut off.
Because i have wagered over $100,000 in the last two weeks and if i have no chance of hitting on some game to make some back then what am i doing there.

This is exactly what I was talking about (though I was using a card reference) way back in ...

Since everyone seems to like comparing online casinos to B&M ones, what's the difference between this online casino doing this and a B&M casino switching dealers, cutting a shoe off early and forcing a reshuffle ... or, in the extreme, just telling a winning player that s/he is not welcome at their casino?

If it's a big enough win, it may be more than just a few minutes before the machine is unlocked. The casino may, in fact, take it off the casino floor to be inspected and make sure it hasn't been tampered with.

Of course, spear simply said it better than me. :D
 
LOL, I must've skimmed that part... but you did remind me of something I was going to say:

Casinos have every right to refuse your business at any time for any reason, provided that they pay all amounts due up to that point. This is the same online as it is offline.

In Vegas, if your action is not welcome (usually happens at the blackjack tables), you will be asked to leave the table, and then either escorted out of the casino with a warning that future entry will not be permitted, or else told that you are welcome in the casino but not at the blackjack tables.

In some casinos, they spot people who sit around and drink, only sticking a nickel into the slot machine when the waitress is nearby. These people are also escorted out of the casino.

And - believe it or not - bonus hunters too are escorted out of the casino - if staff spot a player who only plays bonus machines visibly in certain high states, they will also escort these players out.

In short - it's the casino's right to do so for whatever reason they feel like, especially as it is private property.

There is no difference online. You are not guaranteed the right to access the casino servers at any time, nor are you guaranteed the availability of any particular game.

As long as they are paying what is due to you, and not manipulating the results, we as players don't have much right to argue.

But, like I said elsewhere, probably in another thread LOL - ultimately you, the player, have the greatest weapon of all - the right to decide whether you will play or not. And, as I said elsewhere, if you don't like the rules at the establishment, don't play.

I've never seen a machine taken off the floor... LOL... in Vegas that would probably require the presence of a gaming board representative...

One last thing - if you've ever been to Vegas, the one thing you notice the most as you walk about or play in the casino, is the sound of a bell clanging endlessly until an attendant shuts it off, usually accompanied by much screaming and yelling from some yahoo who just hit a jackpot of sorts. That is also a sure sign that the machine has been locked up... LOL...
