This paradox is laughable for the non-gamer, nauseating for the addict, and grounds for boycott for the most logical of punters. These US-facing casinos are not acting in accordance with their MG licensing, breaking TOS and lying about doing so; and yet a good many of us are overlooking their breach of contract and trusting them with our deposits anyway...
Bravo to this post! The truth should rarely dictate an applause, but it most certainly does in this case bc these casinos are enjoying the trust of customers largely bc of their accreditation with CM and because of their ad space on other forums claiming to differentiate between 'our trusted casinos' and, 'the other ones (THOSE ROGUES ONE SHOULD AVOID)'
And yet I find it quite difficult to find on single thread on the web (save for this one) on how stingy and downright 'win proof' this new platform is... Because of their intentional lack of product differentiation (betwixt the US and other 'facing') people associate the eCOGRA accredited MG software as one in the same with the other, and its a dirty trick. If you can recognize patterns at all, you see the patterns in the lurching of the reels during situations where one more scatter would trigger the bonus feature... And so I have stopped depositing with the Us-Facing sites, and I am so drunk and babbling, I shall stop now.
Even in your drunken babbling, you still make some sense. What you have stated has made me think, the US facing MG's are just riding the coat tails of the original MG and relying on their mileage in terms of gaining a solid reputation to cover them as well.
The fact is, they are a copy and have not yet earned the reputation they are gleening from the real MG's.
Players want to know, who are you really?
Is your RTP carved in stone as it is with the real MG's?
Are you planning to become Accredited on your own, or just continue to ride along on the real MG's reputation?
Do you wish to become a strong and reliable company for the US players?
Or are you just here to give us our final sheering before totally closing us out?
With the way things are done in congress, money talks and gets things done, unfortunately. So with those of us in the US, we may be on the outs when all is said and done, permanently, if not enough money changes hands to buy the favors.
So in my disillusion, I really don't see it happening for a long time, if at all, that we the people of the US will be able to play where we want and make our own choices. Our pockets just aren't deep enough.
