re jackpot win
Casinomeister - please don't get nonchalant about our gripes. I value casinomeister.com highly and I always make a point to register through casinomeister.com to ensure that you will get your % from my deposits. I've considered a recommendation by Casinomeister word of god when it comes to online casinos. I hope it stays that way.
RE the jackpot win on lines not bet on. Of course the casino is free to determine whether they make the jackpots hit the unbet lines frequently or not, I never said I was ripped off. But you, Dominique and Casinomeister, missed the point I was trying to make.
The point being: The subjective feeling that a player has, of trusting that the slot machines are RANDOM, goes down the drain when it appears that they are not random after all. I have no quarrel with the jackpot appearing randomly on a line where no bet was placed and thus no win. That's fine. But can't help it, I forget to bet TWICE and I IMMEDIATELY get a progressive jackpot on one line and a major win on the other (what were the odds again?). No other big wins in a $5000 wager session. And from what I hear, this is a fairly common occurrence. If you don't bet on a line, at $lotland you may get a jackpot at a high frequency on that line. That doesn't spell RANDOM for me.
Now this causes the player to feel that the slot is heavily rigged and constantly analysing the player's betting, even though the overall win percentage may be fine, and the randomness may be fine on the played lines. But as for me, the feeling is, OK they rig that thing, maybe they can rig the rest of it.
It's just like the Jacks or Better thing. Players detest the fact that the game is not RANDOM, even though the small print may be legally sound.
So my point, bad PR (instead of added excitement) for the casino, and I'm out. I'll go for randomness.
OH, by the way, $lotland advertises 98% return on all their slots, "certified!"...where's that certification? I can't find it. Who certified the slots?
