Comments Welcome Microgaming Nightmare

[dionysus]

*shrugs shoulders* ...no worse really, than any other lull I've had.

 

[Jono777]

Microgaming are a lot tighter than they used to be for a fact.

Not going to start tin foiling or anything there is probably a legit reason but god knows what????

Maybe so many new casinos, more players, who knows??

I know I used to love and look forward to '100% day' @ my fave casino (32 Red) not particularly for withdrawing or anything but 7/10 I'd get a really good play time for my deposit, something which has not happened for months now

 

[richie1913]

Have not played microgaming for over a year now for all the reasons mentioned above,I did try jurrassic park last week this is what happened.

Won 200 on dead or alive decided to give a few old favourites a go so onto jurrassic park started on 90p spins after the first 100 was gone with no free spins or random t rex plus the base game was playing dead as well i dropped to 60 annoyed at myself for falling into chasing.
when i was down to 20 with no free spins or trex i dropped to 30p.

End result no free spins 1 random t rex which paid peanuts and bust.

The next day went back on played at 30p - three spins in got the free spins,took the sticky wilds one and won 167 pound,my new rule for microgaming is 25 spins min bet then leave or if a big win comes in within the 25 spins still leave but with a little more haste.

I feel your pain, another +30 Bonus rounds this week again nothing over x100 stake since December, coming up to 10 months now across Netent, Microgaming, WMS etc with no bonus round more than x100 my stake
Today JATBS x28 yesterday Kings of Chicago x9m Psycho about x9 stake and about 10 bonus rounds on DOA all below x20, ploughed thousands of spins through dead or alive for nearly a year and a half with no wildline, no 5 scatters.
I dread to think how many bonus rounds I have gone in 10 months without even hitting over x100 stake? in my case it looks like I should expect x100 stake ONCE a year after pissing thousands away.

 

[psychogene]

I can understand DOA not producing wildlines or 5 scatters because thats the pot at the end of the rainbow for that particular slot but are you positive you have not got anything over x100 since December?

That just sounds so abnormally wrong - I play slots regularly (pretty much everyday) and I get x100 my stake (even though its usually minimum stakes) well not all the time but pretty regularly and especially if the slot is feeling 'hot' can produce x100 + wins in short bursts.

Are you giving the game your playing enough spins ? If you gone that long without even x100 i'm not sure what kind of bad luck you would need for that - and definitely should investigate further.

You should be getting at least one win of 100x at least once a WEEK, assuming your game selection and bet sizing is good.

To go 8 months without even managing it once is just beyond ridiculous. To the point that I have to wonder if your strategy is as big a problem
as your bad luck is.

Are your bet sizes too big in relation to your starting bankroll? Because I just cannot see how anyone can go that long without hitting 100x stake
unless they are playing a very high-risk BRM strategy. Like depositing £100 and playing at suicide stakes of £3 a spin on a game like IR or TRFOL.
Essentially a "hit now or else" scenario. Which is almost always going to end badly.

But if you're having this run of bad luck and you're a low roller who gives himself plenty of "wiggle room" each and every deposit he makes by min betting, then something is clearly very, very wrong.

I am more than willing to be the laughing stock of CM when I keep on insisting that something is defo amiss with MG slots, it IS!

However I am also willing to accept the 'Wow Jon you were right all this time, sorry mate' if that day finally comes that they declare their servers have got some sort of minus RTP virus

No question something is amiss.
I am seriously having one more week of MG then it will have to be adios.
I am a gambler and i know we will not win in the long run but it would be nice to see a decent win again.
Profits with MG casino's must be at an all time high as myself and many many many others are telling the same story.

 

[thebigs]

Thought i may add that i have:
1- Taken Bonuses
2-Not taken Bonus
3-Played my usual higher variance slots
4-Played the lower variance slots
5-Tried the newer slots
6-Tried both download and flash versions

Still the same shit luck.50 euro deposits are lasting generally less than 1 hour and some only 10 - 20 minutes.
I would love to at least get 4 or 5 hours playtime for my cash.

Someone out there surely has had some luck.

 

[Jono777]

It would take about 20 volunteers and I'd have a small way of at least partially proving 'something ??'

Say on 100% DOTD day 20 players do 100 spins @ 0.30p on IR and record stats for say 5 weeks ??

Trouble is 19 of us if not 20 would be losers and knowing my 'luck' then one lucky player would hit a 5 reel WD destroying the stats.

Problem why I have not 'pushed' this is that other than screenshots I have no 'old' stats to compare against.

The 'something' is that, especially with Immortal Romance common sense tells me that MG have realised just how popular the game is and 'taken advantage' of this, which is fantastic from a business point of view but totally greedy and unfair from a players perspective.

I am a very 'good boy' and gamble very responsibly and well within my means but (and I apologise for 'blowing my own trumpet') I am intelligent enough to know for a fact that when I play MG slots these days 99/100 I am actually being ripped off, which angers me when loyalty to casinos result in this end game.

A well known high street gambling brand uses the quote 'Playing slots is buying fun, not investing money' which I totally agree with. Playing MG slots is buying frustration, anger and makes me post just lately more than I need to!!!

This player will not destroy your stats, he will bring the TRTP to the right point

And when you hit big, 19 other player have to bleed for your joyful moment

 

[spintee]

Do not need 20 people Jm I done enough press to test Einstein brains, Still up for the challenge low

Got a small hit on shagging rhinos, had many of bonus rounds all paying shit as usal, got balance up to 100 than hot the norm, JP / IR done me right in got bonus round on both and both paid less than 10x bet

Keep believing my friend!

MG (and yes I am one of the suckers too!) must be laughing at our expense all the way to the bank!

I would not seriously ever ask other to participate in such a futile experiment either but having had chance to think more about it, it could be accomplished in free play mode too.

The other option which is the one I am very close to taking up (one last throw of the dice next week maybe) is simply to no longer play MG slots

Just for you jon i thought i would give you a helping hand from MG )

the passing of night ships , first time ive seen this one but no different to any other of the MG games hit & miss (

ps i rarely open new accounts these days but i did the other week , IM mixed stakes from 60p up to £6 ive now passed 1013 spins & yet to hit three scatters , my RTP% is around 73.2% , this can be backed up from casino as they were shocked as well not to see scatters being there (

Yep doesn't matter which slot which provider, I know I haven't had more than x100 on a bonus game since December, I memorize all passwords, phone numbers, pretty much everything like the movie Rain Man , so I know for a fact and to get the ball rolling close to x50 spins @ 90p highest win x1 stake.



Another shitty session as u can see another bust out!

£41 wagered top 3 total adds up to £1.65 pathetic.
yesterday I ploughed about 150 spins through it no bonus game and crap low payouts etc etc.

All the new Netent slots are absolutely vile as well, they have mastered the art of super high variance win ratio coupled with a really shit paytable, profits must be huge this year for both of them.

There laughing all the way to the bank, Its a piss take, I do not mind losing albeit get pissed of but give us some play time, Only the other day in a thread that machines are changed that you can only get bonus in free spins round or visa virsa, Now if if they can change a complete change about i game play than sure they can turn the switch on other providres

That is a bit optimistic though - 90c stake on a small balance???

 

[Vegasbum]

I don't say a lot about casinos changing things but I do have to agree with Jon

Things have changed with MG slots for sure. I used to play munchkins and would get free spins all the time and it was probably the easiest to get spins....not anymore.

Moonshine game when you do get free spins you choose the boxes for extra games and multiplier. Used to be you would do good in those picks and get perhaps 7-10 picks before the start game would come up.. However lately I hit the start spins at between 1-3 picks.


Another thing is I am getting way more 100% match bonus lately with MG than ever before. This tells me things have indeed changed.

MG is having a hard time in the day of the super casinos with way more games. This might be the way to rake in a bit more money before the well runs dry

Good point, I am not knowledgeable enough to know how the following 'slots in' but I do think the MG alone casinos (32 Red, Roxy Palace, CR, Betway Group etc) are feeling the pressure since in latter years the newer casinos are multi-provider and this has affected them.

Something, whatever 'something' is would have had to be done to compensate for this!

I have to agree with those who posted before me - you are either playing the wrong games, or betting too big & busting fast if you really haven't had any x100's.
I don't play as much as I used to - I probably play 4-5 days per week for 1 to 2 hours at a time - and I've had LOADS of x100+ wins!
(Probably losing overall though )

My last x100 wins on MG (Last 9 months as I don't play much MG) were on: Avalon 2, Ladies Nite, Loaded, Glory of Rome, Break Away, The Osbournes & Fat Lady Sings. (I virtually never play any 243-way slots (except Break Away & Avalon 2 occasionally)).
On NetEnt (Last 10 WEEKS): South Park, Evolution x3, Robin Hood, Wish Master x4, Flowers. (I don't play DoA at all).
I've also had at least half a dozen others over x100 on different softwares in the last 10 weeks.

Hope you get your fair share soon!

Was heading for another 50 euro ultra quick bust out when the MG gods must have felt sorry for me when this one appeared.
Only putting this here instead of winner screenshots due to what we have been posting about.Hopefully will keep me going for a while.

 

[ProbabilityZero]

Had a good run with 32 Red this weekend. Deposited £30 and played with £60 on 100% match. Played Rabbit in the Hat and was having bad run.... Then played Immortal Romance (which I only ever play when WR becoming untenable) and things improved back to stating balance.

Went back to Rabbit in the Hat and hit first four rows wild in free spins for £90. 1000 x my 9p bet. Got balance to £220. Things went downhill a bit so switched to Terminator 2. Could have withdrawn at £180 but played on to £160.

Makes up for some recent awful runs

I am becoming more and more drawn to the tournament side of things at MG though as I find these a great deal of fun. Was so close to bagging €300 but just outside top 10.

Pardon? - No way you must have been dreaming, sorry!

Seriously tho, nice one and good to read. I'm going to need to read a few more of these stories though before I bin my foil hat.

This is why Guts/Redbet have started getting the majority of my deposits, stated a fair few times on here I've had 1 withdrawal on MG (32Red) since October last year, I wouldn't mind too much about this if I were getting some playtime, but I'm betting at 30p a spin (so I can't possibly be betting too high as it's minimum stake) after depositing £30-60 most deposits, and I bust out inside 20-30 mins every time.

Compare that with my last few deposits at Guts and Redbet, playing DoA at Redbet 9p a spin for 6 hours straight, and a £20 deposit that lasted 9 hours at Guts.

And I even made a small withdrawal.

It's a no brainer imo.

 

[hoff1985]

I know i've had those times when MG was pretty streaky... But i really CAN'T BELIEVE anyone who tries to tell me he can't get any 100x bet for months.... if you play regularely and you switch between games (and not just the same 4-5 games) i can't imagine this..... I would immediately stop gambling forever

Well I know it for a fact and I have had to sit through it all since December, had at least 100 bonus rounds on DOA with nothing above x100
I have played The Dark Knight for probably 2 years now, not a single bonus round has ever paid above x100 stake! my last 10 bonus rounds on WMS have been all single digits x3 x 5 x4 etc etc
Just last week would give you a taste, Kings of Chicago £1.20 bet returned about £9, Dracula bonus round £1.60 stake returned around £36, bonus round on Neon Staxxx £1 stake returned around £40
Spinata Grande 5 bonus spins at £1.20 returned around £7, 1 bonus round on Immortal Romance £1.80 spin returned close to £60, 1 once triggered 15 bonus rounds in 1 session in the space of half an hour, not a single one was over x100 stake
Psycho bonus round £1 spin returned around £9, I know for a fact I have not gotten more than x100 on Microgaming since then. Like I said I have a rain man like brain so I remember information / history vividly, I can still remember things I did as a child like it was yesterday and I am 35 now, which is sometimes a bad thing I was getting decent wins and it was up and down before December 2014 plenty of hits through the year above x100, now it really does seem like somebody has put me on sub x100 servers.

Ok, well 100 bonus rounds on DOA with nothing above 100? Of course!!!!!! I think i've had 1 or 2 DOA rounds over 100x and i play it for years! But this is one game. Dark Knight is also maybe not the game that pays reasonable amounts during bonus rounds, had only 1 bonus round over x100 ever. And by the way only IR and TDK are Microgaming, all other mentioned are NetEnt. I can only suggest you to even switch slots more or try more other slots you haven't played in a long time....

I don't think it matters what I play anymore, never seen anything like it in years of online play.

 

[Jono777]

Really, really stupid question!

Do MG have a rep, some sort of CS etc etc ???

More and more are jumping on the 'They are not like they used to be' bandwagon.

Maybe with some constant nagging and pressure we could be offered some sort of rational explanation

Or at least fobbed off with something which is remotely 'believable'

 

[whatwhat]

I don't think it matters what I play anymore, never seen anything like it in years of online play.

Then we are in the same boat. If i played regularly i used to have regular good cashouts.

But the last 6-10 months or maybe even the last year or so something has changed across every platform. To put it straight it seams to be harder to win on all games. Seen countless threads on countless forums about this. And if most people agree that they have had shitty runs latley certainly something has changed right?

We are just supposed to trust the casinos or whatever that its all just bad luck, but they never provide any proof. The only answer is the games are audited. Well, im 110% sure all games netent or microgaming are running on a different setting that they used to. I have greatly reduced my online play also because i really do feel as im not getting a fair chance at winning.

7-800 bonus rounds on dead or alive without a 1000x bet win. Infact in another forum there where also 3 other members that had had close to 1000 bonus rounds without getting a wildline or a 1000x and above win. Thats several thousand bonus rounds. And i cannot even count how many wild desires or bonus rounds on Immortal romance and i think the most i have ever won on that game ever is like 500x bet.

Everytime i get a wild desire it pays nothing or 1 or 2 wilds with 9`s. Every bonus rounds is 20-30x max. GOT never even had a 100x in the bonus round. And if i dare to win and cash out in any casino expect my next 10 deposits to be abnormally bad. Like losing 100 on .50 bets in 10 minuttes bad. Always!

But those games are highly highly volatile. Both IR and DOA. I play DOA since over 2 years and i have never seen a wildline and only got the 5 extra spins ONCE.
