today I received an email by a rival casino that told me this:

Quote:

"Our reports for the month of October 2009 show something quite unprecedented. The average payout rates for all our games taken together are at:

99.19% Average Pay Out Rates!

We have a few players with over $30,000 balances, including Mr. xxx from xxx that has won over $70,000 playing slots. Congratulations to all our new winners!

In case you are curious to know which games are loose, here they are:



Spy Game at 121.73%

Click on any of the Games Above and start playing Instantly! No Download Required

Those are just a few of the games over 100%. We have at least 10 more slots over 100% payout rates. It's seems it is THE time to cash in at xxx Casino."

End of quote.

I have removed the names as they dont matter. But can these pay out rates really be true? What do the experts think about it?
 
those numbers should theoretically be absolutely possible though they may not seem consisitent with our own observations. In fact, if you think about it.... it would be more odd if the payback at any casino is ALWAYS near the published payback percentage because that would mean the casino never experiences the type of variance that players are supposed to expect. You would think that a casino also has up and down variance, though of course it would never be as drastic as individual player's experiences.

Also, you cannot know how skewed those results are because of other factors, like one player with a huge bankroll that totally skewed the results for this one month or the effect of bonuses (maybe a bunch of players deposited small with large bonuses and then played forever on them.)

If the numbers are accurate, it would be a nice change from the typical 65-85% that is so common during most sessions.
 
not sure which casino that is but the payout rates don't include bonuses but they may have caused a higher payout rate. Microgaming casinos have boasted about high payout rates for a while. It does happen where players can win a lot sometimes especially if a progressive jackpot win is factored into the equation. I think I have seen River belle post a payout rate of 107% in one month. A few big wins will do this.

Ditto what John said. Just like players can have unbelievably long streaks of luck and bad luck, affiliates and operators can see streaks too. Since we have larger sample sizes it is less common for an operator to see streaks, but it does happen.

I remember reading somewhere of a Vegas casino having a negative month on a game... I think Baccarat, but I'm not sure, it was a while ago that I read that.

I'm not claiming to be an expert here... :p but I am an affiliate for all the Rival casinos, and I can tell you that in an average month at 33% to 50% of the casinos the players (all added together by casino) cash-out more than their total deposits.
So I don't have any problem in believing those figures could be correct for one or two months...

Yes those figures could occur if they don't have many players ie small sample size. Or they could have quite a few small players but a high roller who won big.

I would worry if Ladbrokes posted those numbers though :D

It is interesting what you industry insiders are saying becasue a similiar thing is happening to UK bookmakers at the moment. There have been a huge amount of short odds winners in the premiership this season which has resulted in some monster payouts. For once the punters are ahead :thumbsup:

Well, the situation with bookmakers and casinos isn't quite the same. Casinos have a definitive odds. Sportsbooks don't. If a line maker makes a mistake, it can cost a book $100,000s. Casinos don't. When casinos have a negative month it has to do with Standard Deviation. This concept can be explained by the following picture:

That could have well been a story of the late billionaire Kerry Packer! I was lucky enough back in the day to actually witness this gentleman sign several markers one night for at least 6 million while sitting in the high limit room of one of Vegas finest casinos, I'll never forget that..:cool:

Kerry Packer was a larger-than-life gambler, a mogul who signed $1 million markers as if they were checks to Con Ed. He gambled for the kinds of stakes that kick-started the adrenal glands of even the most jaded casino executives. They all knew better than to keep him waiting when he wanted to lay down a bet. But one night, in the fall of 1989, after Packer blew into Las Vegas and found his way to the newly opened Mirage, the baccarat crew was not quite ready for him.... Old / Expired Link

Rob I use to deal as well as taught the game. I could not read the article. I know first hand what happens with a new crew and a smart player. OH the memories and sweat stains. lol

The casinos in Macau quoted years ago that they can expect to lose around 10 days in any given month and win on the other 20 days so it is very possible that a casino can have a negative month on Baccarat especially where high-rollers dont want company at tables so there are no offsetting bets. They win big and lose big.
 
today I received a similar email from another rival casino. again I dont mention its name. quote:


"Our slots are set to payout at 96% but every month we have some real Hot Slots. So far this month, these games are paying out huge to our players at an average payout of...

106.25% Average Payout!

Psychedelic Sixties - 127.22%
Cosmic Quest Ep. 1 - 110.30%
Aces and Faces - 102.81%
Scary Rich - 107.22%
Surf Paradise - 103.81%
Strike Gold - 107.49%
Reel Crime Art Heist - 101.14%

WoW, that was a great read Rob! I love reading those Vegas\High roller stories. There should be a thread on here where previous dealers and other could post stories like that! :thumbsup:

(Sorry for derailing the thread)
 
Are payout rates for casinos different in real mode vs fun mode? Have always been curious!!!:D

Depending on the casino software. Some have been known to set the payout for play mode and real mode to different percentages.

IMHO, this should never be. For me, that is rogue behavior and is close to fraud as it misleads and basically tricks players into thinking the casino has a much higher payout than it actually does.

They are able to give you an indication on the average payout for these games yet I have never been successful in requesting for my payout average for any game at any Rival casino. The software is unable to do it and you have to check it manually yourself I am told.

Not a problem if you record all your spins as you go along like I do!
It might sound like a lot of hard work, but it's actually very quick & simple once you have your spreadsheet template set up :thumbsup:

Very true KK. However, if RTG, 3Dice and MG can give you your payout rates why is Rival unable to do so. Come to think of it I havent seen a single forum member given his payout rates for any sessions or games from a Rival casino.
 
I agree with you Chuchu59, it is something that should be added.

As a new casino, we have a large number of changes and requests to our software provider. I'll let you know that getting what you are requesting is on our wish list, although admittedly not at the top.

The method KasinoKing posted is great and works perfectly in the meantime, but we go agree it should be changed. I did send you a PM Chuchu :)

So, the software CANNOT calculate payout ratio when a PLAYER asks, but CAN when the OPERATOR asks:rolleyes:

Perhaps these figures are NOT what they are represented as being, an overall RTP for the game, which players are told CANNOT be calculated.

I have to argue the point on this one too:-

not sure which casino that is but the payout rates don't include bonuses but they may have caused a higher payout rate. Microgaming casinos have boasted about high payout rates for a while. It does happen where players can win a lot sometimes especially if a progressive jackpot win is factored into the equation. I think I have seen River belle post a payout rate of 107% in one month. A few big wins will do this.

Bonuses CANNOT affect the RTP of the games, surely. If a slot is set to an RTP of 96%, it will play to this whether the player has taken a healthy bonus or not (unless the casino has cheating software, of course). The casino may pay out more in WITHDRAWALS because players have had use of bonus money, but this is NOT what the figures in the email are representing, they are saying that certain slots have paid out more in wins than the cost of spins made - nothing to do with bonuses.

It's all a marketing trick anyway, the OVERALL payout rarely overshoots by a large margin, so when it happens, it is a marketing godsend to the casino, and they can milk it for all it's worth - as has been the case here.

For the rest of the time, especially when it undershoots, they just stay quiet, no "fanfare" of "the casino has kicked your asses this last month, come back for more....."

The "hot slots" is an even better marketing tool, as EVERY month there are going to be slots that have paid over the odds, just as there will be those that have paid under. ONLY those that are "hot" will be promoted, and the encouragement is to play MORE on these so called "hot" slots because "they are paying". This is either complete bullshit, or cheating software - but it must work in their favour, or they wouldn't do it.

Some MGS casinos I knew also featured which slots had been "cold" as well as those that had been "hot", perhaps to entice the "cleverer player" (Ha Ha:D) who might fall for such false logic, and conclude that the correct action was to avoid the "hot" slots, because they were "empty" by now, and chase the "full" ones listed under "cold" (Ha Ha again:D:D)

This is FRUIT MACHINE logic - don't confuse it with the logic model for online RANDOM slots;)
 
Today I got lucky and hit a hot slot at Ruby Royal. I had reversed my $45 from the sign on bonus win after the wr had been met. I jumped around on a couple slots which were doing fair but not great and decided to play Grandmas Attic, I was playing 45 cent spins since I was down to around $9, hit a free spin, didn't do much, then hit the skeleton keys, fair the first two times. Then I was down to around $3-$5 and hit the free spins again and during the free spins got the four attic keys and found 3 trunks with the extra key allowing me four trunks to open, by the end of this bonus round I was up $185.00 :). Played a bit more but decided to quit when I was on the go down and cashed out $175. So for my $15 or less that I was down to, playing the 45 cents per spin I'd say I definately got the better deal. :thumbsup:
Thanks Ruby Royal!!!!!
