Providers Allowing Operators To Set Free Spins?

[X-Raided]

I was looking into a provider's games to see if they were any good, and decided to look at the FAQ section.

The provider's name is "Urgent Games". It says that it allows the operators to "set free spins as you wish" or control it via their casino admin dashboard.

I'm just curious to know what that truly means, because I'm intrigued!

Pretty sure it's for the casino operator to hand out say 30 freespins on the game as a reward and nothing to do with the freespins bonus inside the game itself.

100% this.

Not 100% but fairly confident that years back, casinos had to approach the provider to get FS added, if not the case, it was a lot more "involved" than it is nowadays.

This will also 100% be nothing to do with the games mechanic, bonus rounds, free spins or RTP.

Yeah, for the marketing setups of casinos, you would have the setup on the back-end to push it to the player segmentation, but also a setup with the correct code for the game provider I would assume, so the two can connect, so you also can track who got what promo, and especially if the free spins offer is connected to a deposit code. That way, the specific players get free spins on the specific game. Or, if they simply wanted to add free spins to a specific users on a specific game.

If you get free spins right now and played them now do you get the same result if you played them say in a week.

Are free spins genuinely random or can casinos ask for say we need 1000 free spins for our players for a promo and we need 900 spins to lose and 100 to win.

So for example next weekend on Videoslots the battle weekend has three days of the new Raw Game do Raw just provide the free spins or are the free spins the same as if you played them for real money.

Does Videoslots for example buy free spins off Raw and they pay a certain amount for them, how does it work?

Great question! For some reason, the free spins I get from an accredited online casino that I play at religiously, always hands me free spins based on my deposits... but those free spins usually yield the same result, (1.00-2.50). The free spins are usually for Bgaming slots, and the spins are usually 20-30.

But even with free spins for Crapmatic slots, it usually yields the same results in wins. Drives me crazy!

It's like I 90% of the time cannot make it past the $3.00 threshold for the free spins that are handed to me.

I assume that the free spins cannot be random as say Videoslots will have a budget for battle weekend and can't take the risk of free spins paying out randomly especially with the amount of people who play, so I assume that the free spins all have a total value that is divided up accordingly.

I hope someone can explain if this is correct.

Going back a fair bit now but I'm sure this has been discussed (in depth to a point?) on here in the past.

Aging memory lol but reasonably sure the conclusion was that every individual free spin has to have the same random (*cough) chance as if you'd paid for the spin.

This may be weak but is also kind of "evidenced" by the fact that most casinos, most times choose highly volatile games to reduce their potential exposure where 90% of players spins will be dead, allowing a few to win big maybe but stopping most winning a fair and reasonable amount.

I feel this point is also backed up by VS's recent change to adding all RAW free spins to their 'Smash' jackpot games rather than the original releases (lower RTP's)

If outcomes and returns could be controlled or even limited then there would be no need to take the aforementioned precautions.

Thats how we've integrated with prag. Free spins setup is done on our end and API call creates the bonus on their end.

I’d say free spins are 100% rigged. Back in the good old days, I remember getting 1 free spin on a game that was pretty hard to bonus. Decided, what the hell, I’ll play it. Lo and behold it yielded the bonus and paid x100 IIRC. Think it was a Dracula/vampire type of game, possibly Netent.

Also had 1 free spin on Razor Shark. I never did get to the bottom of it but my highest rtp at Mr Vegas was over 3,000% and it was on Razor Shark. As I remember it only paid £3 so god knows how that was calculated because it was the only spin I ever did on the game.

Thanks for the clarification. Are the free spins that are handed out from any of your casinos or other casinos that you've heard about weighed out with a value of what the free spins will yield to the player, no matter what?
