Pokerstars Casino 1 million slots race

Thats super sus then, you should reach out to them to investigate.

I tried to speak with them about this in the past when they used to respond by email and all I got was robotic answers, they just refused to entertain my query. Saying that, I still enter almost every week like a fool I am. I've only ever placed once or twice. Once I did place quite high when it was a million race and got about 500 dollars. That was a win on Viking Hoard where I managed to climb to the 250x multiplier. I did also play the other week and hit quite high on Cashzuma and I'm sure it paid over the 10,000 point threshold, like 20 or 30,000 points or something.

back in those million races the max points per spin was 100k and not 10k, and in the first ones it was uncapped

99 out of 100 spins the 1st place hit a 100x^^

If its not just people straight up 'hacking' the leaderboard there must be some kind of exploit possible when using an expensive ante-bet or something.
Not even Whos the bride will give you a 100x+ win 99 times out of 100.

Pretty obvious there's some slot being exploited to farm points, and they seem to have stopped monitoring it.

For example, they used to remove Sticky Fruits from races because players could stack bonuses at high stakes then switch to a lower stake and hit a massive multiplier calculated on the average bet.

On top of that, they always used to pull slots from the race if someone was using them to take the top spots. What's happening right now is statistically impossible without cheating.

It's amazing the downfall of pokerstars, used to have live chat support in-client etc and those days are long gone.

 

[cheekymonkey]

Yes, their casino promotions are pretty abysmal too. And on the poker side, guarantees are way down across the board than they were from even 1-2 years ago. The Sunday Million has become almost obsolete, even the Sunday Storm ($11 entry) guarantee only reaches 60 or 70k, when it was 100k for years.

 

[teckiwi]

Gone are the days of $3.30/$4.40 bounty builders having several thousand entrants daily and 200k+ active online, amazing how fast they faded.

I agree they're not as strong as they used to be. In poker they've lost ground to GG PokerOk, but for casino or sports betting they're still a trusted brand that's unlikely to scam anyone. I think they just stopped monitoring the slot races because the prize pools aren't that big. And I doubt they're cheating in their own tournaments to avoid paying out.

On a different note, before these races they had an incredibly +EV blackjack promotion. They'd shuffle a lucky card into the deck and if it landed on you, you'd get a bonus anywhere from $100 to $1,000. If it landed on the dealer, every player at the table got the bonus. I made $15k in 3 months just from those cards. Used to spend 2-3 hours a day hunting for them until too many people caught on and they shut it down.

 

[cheekymonkey]

Ah, the luxury of being able to play for 2-3 hours a day with the same casino for 3 months - near enough impossible for a UK player now.

Nice going on that $15k.

 

[Casinos Hate Winners]

Yeah, that was a while back, not sure if it was available to UK players but I think it might have been.

You guys have some solid bonuses right now with a 10x wager, why not just clear them all?
