Jammin Jars

Yes I made this point earlier in the thread here - Jammin Jars

What players are going to see on games like Jammin' Jars is huge potential, 'Ooohhh if this drops in there it's going to be massive!', whilst not realising they are watching an entirely scripted series of events that will finish up representing what the original RNG call pulled. (i.e. What they are hoping to see happen, is impossible, because it doesn't exist in the 'backend' pool of results.)

It doesn't mean the games aren't random or fair from a results point of view, but I agree it is on dodgy ground from a misrepresentation point of view.

If nothing else, what we've proved here is that games such as Jammin' Jars do run as scratchcards in essence (as it would be a literal near statistical impossibility for those two bonus rounds to play out identically if each 'spin' in the reaction were a random and independent event), and IMO players should be informed of this via the help files as a statutory requirement. (In the same way UK AWPs have to have a label on them explaining they are compensated and that some gambles may be unwinnable.)

Also, by allowing slots and games to be developed in this way, they are able to display far more near misses and heart stoppers than would naturally be the case. (Compare and contrast with, say, Arctic Adventure at 3Dice, whereby honest spins with honest reelstrips in the bonus rounds make it quite clear how hard hitting a 5OAK during a big multiplier bonus round actually is.)

They are in a way, as pay tables need to specify bonus spins take place on a different set of reels 'alternative reels used'.
 
I think conflating the issue at hand in this manner doesn't help, it just allows people to respond to the other (already well trod) criticisms instead of the one at hand which for me boils down to allowing the player to assume any logical result is possible, however phenomenally unlikely, it should not be impossible.

Imagine spending days upon weeks upon years and tens of thousands of dollars trying to get 5 explorers on book of dead only to find out that there were none in the "pool"- that you never even had a chance.


You'll never know either way on Bonanza - the win I cited as an example probably has a frequency of say 50m spins in the base game, then 12 spins from every 460 as free spins on average, of these free spins maybe one or two from several hundred will be played ultimately at a 20x + multiplier so you're looking at billions and billions to one against therefore not ever seeing it proves nothing either way.

Players aren't stupid and they know this too, therefore I doubt any player ever 'plays to hit that win' at all.
 
Players aren't stupid and they know this too, therefore I doubt any player ever 'plays to hit that win' at all.

If you're saying players don't play to hit the highest possible win I'll respectfully disagree. I'm OK with a 1:1,000,000,000 chance at winning 5000x, I'm not OK with 0:1,000,000,000.

Why else would mega moolah be so popular?

This stinks and it stinks for two reasons:
1. It allows artificial limits to be imposed on wins (cull out the big wins)
2. It misrepresents your chances of winning (from near impossible to absolutely impossible, which although it may not seem a large distinction is arguably the heart of why we gamble, to have that slim chance at a monster win, or perhaps I am just a Stupid Player).

Disappointed to see you apologising for developers potentially unethical behavior again dunover.

Hi All,

First of all sorry, this is not a verified account. This has just been made today to reply to this thread and an admin or moderator has not seen my messages to verify yet. I would have replied sooner if it was possible.

To understand what has happened in the above video you will need to understand how the game is designed. So here's some background information on Jammin’ Jars.

The game does work by randomly picking a win/loss from an extensive pool of results, as picked up and explained by some of the members here. The wins are represented through cascading symbols, the random giant fruits feature and multiplying wilds, rather than traditional spinning reels. This makes the win sequences very long and therefore makes the game extremely complex mathematically.

The nature and complexity of creating a well-balanced model for this game, whilst making it enjoyable for players using a typical video slot method are extremely difficult (we would argue impossible). We do not use this method in our reel based video slots.

As the results are selected from a pool of results, what happened on the two streams was highly unlikely as there is a huge amount of possible results for each winning category across the base and bonus rounds, in this case, 1,600x in the base game. The game is certified by a third party (eCOGRA) and runs on a 96.83% RTP.

As the video shows two of exactly the same result, which is incredibly unlikely to happen (1 in over 1.3 million), we understand the suspicions, but as was suggested by some members in this thread we have not and cannot give anyone a result to play through.
 
I knew there was something suss about the mechanics of this game, although phenomenally rare it's not difficult to envision a feature with enough jars to ensure an almost perpetual retrigger. Combine that with the increasing multiplier and the potential payout would be huge.

I figured they would artificially limit the number of potential jars to a certain amount to mitigate this, instead it seems they just ran a few thousand features, removed any of the ones with huge pays and called it a day.
 
Players aren't stupid and they know this too, therefore I doubt any player ever 'plays to hit that win' at all.

TBH I don't agree with that. Part of the reason I fire up IR from time to time is that I know the five reel Wild Desire is on the paytable. I know my chances of actually hitting it are astronomically long, but the fact it's there is a draw, and every time I see and hear the Wild Desire animation and music start up, a little bit of me thinks - 'This could be the one, I know it almost certainly won't be, but it could be.'

Imagine if we found out that MG had never put a five reel Wild Desire in there, and it was an impossible hit to achieve?.....

So they both hit something with a 1 in 1.3M probability of happening, let's say they did 1000 spins each, what are the chances of that?

Or in simpler terms, if something has a 1 in 1.3M chance of happening, what are the chances of it happening twice in 2000 samples?

EDIT - Is it 1 in 1.69M? I'm not so hot at calculating probability.

EDIT - Is it 1 in 1.69M? I'm not so hot at calculating probability.

The combined (2 instances) result I make 1 in 1.69m.

So if they did 100,000 spins each it would still be a 1 in 16.9 chance. And coupled with the fact of the recent release date plus they were both streaming.

But wait - “Randomness is a funny thing”.

Case solved. Next.
 
So even the giant fruit drops are pre-baked?

No wonder they never link up...

Also using the "oh it's just so complex we couldn't possibly have done it any other way" BS is laughable, it's not like you're sketching out every possibility in a notebook, you're loading a simulation onto a server and hitting autoplay.

Game's complex? Rent an AWS instance for a few hours.

The actual reason they've done it is to limit liability, they just got lazy and didn't create a large enough pool.
 
The combined (2 instances) result I make 1 in 1.69m.

Where are you getting that figure?
Also it's unclear whether they're saying the chance of the hit is 1:1.3m or if the chance of it occurring concurrently is 1:1.3m, very different things.

Also:

So if they did 100,000 spins each it would still be a 1 in 16.9 chance.

No it doesn't work that way. Otherwise tossing a coin twice would guarantee a certain result. (1:2 twice does not equal 1:1 but rather 3:4)

Well there are people out there who have won the lottery more than once which I assume is a much less probability than hitting 1600x with the same pattern.

But their response confirmed what has been said previously in the thread, they've not done the traditional maths and just have done a lazy version and created a predetermined scratch card of mega size

winning the lottery twice is one thing .

winning the lottery twice getting the exact same lucky dip from the same shop and seeing the same numbers come out in the exact same order as the previous win ? what's the odds on that ?
 
@trancemonkey - is it legal to use this method of preset features and then simply remove any from the pool over a certain amount, eg; 2500x+. Despite the logical assumption being you could win far more?

I think I know the answer so I guess I'll change the question to whether you've seen it done?
 
The whole thread's been a derail. It started out being about Push's bullshotting ways and ended up going down the inevitable streamer route :cool:

Yes it is legal. And i certainly imagine it's done... In some jurisdictions there are rules about paying the "highest advertised prize" and how often this must occur.
I won't get drawn in to the misrepresentation argument in this thread, as there are many different sides to that argument. Personally, i've never put stacks of wilds in a game unless it's possible to therefore get a full screen of them, because i like the players to know that what they see is possible. It might be unbelievably rare, but it's possible.
 
I can't stand watching this guy but every time that I've seen him he did look suspicious. I don't know what his deal is, is he playing at reputable casinos?

He is one of the biggest shitheads out there..Watched him once for 3 minutes and had seen it..
Why do people torture themselves watching this crap, a guy placing "bets" a normal person can never afford and then reward him for that by donating money to him..WTF.
 
Can someone seperate them?
@maxd could or Bryan - it happens often enough - but with the overlay/crossover is there any point? I mean, we're all big boys and girls able to sift

I'll take a bow now then shall i ;)

Seriously though, thanks for the confirmation - no prepare for many people to simply not believe you, and welcome to my world!
 
Nice to have a Push Gaming rep around now, welcome! :)
The thread ended up in a discussion about streamers on the end but your replies are much appreciated.
Good to see that our thoughts in regards to the 2 very same results with those streamers is deemed highly unlikely to happen.

On a side note, I am a big fan of your games and I love most of them.
Innovative, fun and original games. Keep that work up!!

Maybe you can have a look in the "wild swarm" thread. Loads of discussion going on about that game.
Would be interested in your point of view regarding that matter.

Anyway, awesome to find another rep from a reputable slot brand here! :thumbsup:

I will be sure to check that out, I really should have got on here sooner. Give me a few days and i'll find some time to chime in on some places we were mentioned.

If you could tag me to anything in particular it might speed things up :)
 
Maybe some of the tin-foilers will be more likely to believe me now... but i doubt it ;)
of course not silly - we know the cabal wrote a script for you to say at gunpoint to further their nefarious schemes
 
Maybe some of the tin-foilers will be more likely to believe me now... but i doubt it ;)

No tin foil thoughts about the slot, I love PUSH Gaming.
But for me it is great to see that it is confirmed now that what happened on them streams was most likely BS. Another nono for those fake streamers who poison the gambling industry to be honest.

@Push Gaming Rep can you confirm how many potential features there are in the "pool" and if any were removed post-generation.

As I've stated up stream:

I knew there was something suss about the mechanics of this game, although phenomenally rare it's not difficult to envision a feature with enough jars to ensure an almost perpetual retrigger. Combine that with the increasing multiplier and the potential payout would be huge.

I figured they would artificially limit the number of potential jars to a certain amount to mitigate this, instead it seems they just ran a few thousand features, removed any of the ones with huge pays and called it a day.

Additionally, 20,000x Max win seems like an oddly round number for this type of game.. Is that a single 20,000x pay for example a full screen of strawberries, or a pre recorded feature that results in exactly 20,000x?
 
If you're saying players don't play to hit the highest possible win I'll respectfully disagree. I'm OK with a 1:1,000,000,000 chance at winning 5000x, I'm not OK with 0:1,000,000,000.

Why else would mega moolah be so popular?

This stinks and it stinks for two reasons:
1. It allows artificial limits to be imposed on wins (cull out the big wins)

It's not unethical at all. Mega Moolah is a poor slot with a dreadful RTP as 8% is in the progressives part. It cannot be that popular as with 8% progressive contribution it only needs 12 million spins (a relatively paltry amount) at £1 to grow the total pots by 1m and it takes weeks even allowing for minor and mini wins, so go figure its turnover compared to Bonanza! Playtech use a 0.99% RTP contribution to retain some kind of reward in the game itself outside the progressives, so they grow far more slowly.

I am not apologizing for any developer behaviour and I didn't say my theoretical Bonanza win wasn't possible but proposed that it would make no practical difference to the game IF it wasn't! To that end many games have different reels and possibilities in the bonus round to what occurs in the base game and this is what makes them more fun - if every slot simply copied the base game with just a multiplier added or multiplying wilds you'd end up with 2,000 IGT Cleopatras and 2000 WMS Raging Rhinos. Play Book Of Ra Deluxe - you all KNOW the FS reels are loaded with more scatters, I don't hear people whingeing? DoA has different reels in the FS and it's obvious there's a cap on Wilds of 11 or 12 but do people complain? Do people divorce themselves from common-sense and expect to hit 100,000x on a Megaways game at £20 in the bonus which would kill most casinos that it occurred in? This is why jackpot progressives exist in the first place, an affordable way for casinos to offer gigantic prizes where they don't meet the liability themselves.

I can clearly see the dilemma facing developers here when reading these kind of threads as it must be like BMW trying to explain every facet of their cars' On Board Computers to people when all the while they're probably thinking 'Just drive the fucking thing!'

So we all want Novomatic to make an addendum to their pay tables something like this:

"The maximum win here will occur when triggering the bonus, getting Explorer selected and hitting a full screen on all 10 spins for 50,000x total bet.
In the occurrence of retriggering the bonus this could rise to 100,000x bet. With two retriggers, 150,000x bet. With 9 retriggers 500,000x bet.

The Maximum win in the base game is 527.5x bet which is a full line of Explorers top left to bottom right with wild (1) on reel 1, Wild (3) on reel 2 Wild (4) on reel 3 and Wild (2) on reel 4. This will award 500x, plus 2.5x for 4OAK 10's twice, 20x for 4 Wilds alone and 5 lines of 0.5x consisting of queens/Wild."


Or Netent to have a 2TB list of possible Wild outcomes in the free games and all their possible pays?

Twin Spin to list all the possible pays for 1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,24 and 27 5OAK 7's?

Is it not obvious Megaways reels are slightly different in the FS due to the inclusion of scatters only on the middle 4 reels, above or below?

I give up.

I gotta say that every streamer i follow has crazy hits on Jammin Jars and they got them early. Also i remember few months ago when every streamer were hitting hot spot wins on Joker Pro (1000x). Now they don't even play it anymore.

For my part I am actually embarrassed that any member here seriously proposed you could or would do this.
 
So these rules need updating then, do they not?

As it reads here, the player could reasonably expect the jam jars to move in any direction, including one that could make a far bigger pay than is going to be the case, as the round is pre-determined.

No one is complaining about slots having different reel sets for features, well not in this thread anyway but I appreciate the effort you went to defending them anyway.

And regarding your other argument against a point I didn't make, Frankly yes it should specify Max win.

Case in point the new quickspin slot big bot crew- which boldly proclaims on the splash screen Win 5000x immediately above a screenshot of a full screen of wilds. As a seasoned gambler I took this at face value but what it "meant" was that you need a full screen of sticky wilds on the first spin of a feature!

So yes some clarity would not go amiss although it's easy to argue against it with your "where does it end" slippery slope rhetoric.

The thing is, this slot is pulling from a predetermined (massive) pool of wins and has a max win. On most normal slots there are maths in play to make it random, and you could get endless retriggers, but with smart maths it would nearly be impossible, but not quite.

Bonanza was advertised as theoretical 10.000x max win to casinos but someone has hit outside that, which was outside their slot testing payouts. It was very very unlikely that it could happen, but it did.

So when a slot is misleading you to believe that it could have endless potential when it can't, you feel betrayed. That's the issue here.
 
To clarify: what people are unhappy to find out is that their feature is predetermined- careful curated to limit liability, to give the illusion of having a slim chance when there actually is none.

Not just the features but also the Giant Fruit drops apparently, why would those need to be preset except to limit liability?

The entire premise of gambling is that the odds are against us but there's just that slim chance, vanishingly small that we could get that earth shattering win, if the jars only lined up just so, and why shouldn't they eventually, after all it's possible, right? So you put more spins through, spend more time and more money on what is actually an impossible pursuit, now not just unlikely, but hopeless.
