As rare as rocking horse s**t I'd say.
Old man voice> I remember when you used to be able to hit free spin rounds fairly regularly and not only that retriggers were reasonably common.
Deposits would usually yield good game time overall and going 500 spins without hitting a free spin round was very rare, going 1,000 spins was pretty much unheard of.
These days it is a regular occurrence and you can a dozen sessions without seeing a retrigger - but nothing has changed?
Of course it has! (IMO )
For me this is absolute proof that the game don't play as we are told.
That the reel layouts are irrelevant to actual probability of hitting combinations regardless of whether they tally with the paytable and TRTP or not.
There is a variance algorithm that can be changed as well as the TRTP value, no doubt about it.
I would guess that variance overall is now much higher and TRTP a little lower. If it was 97% for a game it is now 93% for example.
Overall result much shorter game time for our money but the slightly more occasional decent win.
I just completed 2,000 spins on Immortal Romance and triggered the free spins 3 times, just once in the last 1,300 spins.
They payed an average of around x20 bet.
If you play Immortal Romance you will also know you can go 50 to 100 spins without returning more than your bet back.
It's a fairly high variance slot and you can hit big wins but the death streaks are unnatural.
The thing is that is a fairly typical game these days.
The worse I ever did years ago (When all MG casino were download and before all lines pay slots were even a twinkle in MG's eye) was go just over 800 spins on a slot which I've forgotten the name of (so long since I played it but it was a car themed game) and that was an absolute shock at the time as I had played tens of thousands of spins without going that long to hit free spins.
These days if I am lucky enough to get a game and get ahead it is almost guaranteed that a run like that will come along sooner rather than later.
If you have been playing online MG slots for many years have you noticed any difference in the how games play?
Do you find free spin triggers or retriggers are much rarer?
Maybe you think they play better?
The poll is multiple choice so check all the boxes you think are relevant.
