They are Nedplay exclusive. Only 221 players.
How many of these 221 players are merely this "cheat" with multiple/colluding aliases.
By having a fast PC, and consistently using his coins, he has made a MISTAKE. Whilst the similarity in alias name choices might be explained by coincidence, having this paired with an equal ability to use all the coins shows that in all probability this is a group of "connected players" (or a multiple account single player) who is creaming off much of the prize money. These are small prizes, but regular, and if the process is +EV, this could be a pretty good "earner", except for the rest of the field, who are fighting a battle skewed against them, and their SINGLE aliases, and mostly slow PCs.
Given this is Hitman, and not Loaded, a fast PC alone may NOT be the answer, as I can use all my coins on the Loaded Weekender, but have NOT had such success with the slow games of Hitman and Thunderstruck.
It's possible they have found a way to bypass the cheat MGS THEMSELVES introduced a couple of years ago, which was to significantly SLOW the games from their potential top playing speed on very fast and highly tuned PCs, with this, they WOULD be able to consistently use their coins on Hitman.
The cheat MGS put in is a limiter, a bit like the speed limiter on big lorries, that no matter how powerful the engine, the truck will not exceed 60Mph (or similar).
The MGS "limiter" is set for 3 seconds per spin max speed, no matter how fast the client PC and internet connection.
How do I know?
EXPERIMENTAL EVIDENCE
100% hard proof, trials from before, and after, on Tombraider - the abrupt change being VERY obvious, and ocurring during an "update" of monthly new games, and resulting in the almost total breakdown of the entire MGS tournament system that weekend, for which they apologised, but NEVER revealed what they had been up to.
With this in mind, let's take a look at this:-
Holy sh$& I made an error.
It's 18,000 coins that you start with, not 12,000 like I had posted.
60 spins in 5:00 minutes?!?!?!?!
That's damn near impossible.
This indicates 5 seconds per spin. This is entirely POSSIBLE, but requires some doing, and this does NOT include getting those 18 free spins, or that bonus feature, either of which will make it far harder to use all the coins.
Just ONE free spin round brings it down to 1 spin every 3.8 seconds, which borders on the impossible, even for a fast PC. 2 bonus rounds, and you should have coins left.
These players may be able to use all their coins SOME of the time, but certainly not EVERY SINGLE time, as they MUST have sessions with plenty of bonus rounds, as well as those with none, or just one.
