I have been thinking and bugged about the capping the max wins on RTG games, ever since winning, finally, the 5 expanding wilds on the Count Spectacular slot.
Recently I had a win of 4 Counts on the reels 1-4, paid out $255 at 1 cent per line, with the misc items on reel 5. Then later still playing and paying for all lines at 1 cent per line, I get 5 expanding Counts covering all lines and it only paid 2x or a tad less than 4 Counts, for a $500 win at 25 cent wager.
According to the pay table the first page shows 5 counts paying out at 10,000 coin, I assume this means per winning lines. At 1 cent per line the payout would be $100 per line x 25 lines. Instead the game is set to pay out for only 5 lines, even though the player has wagered on all 25 lines.
Now on page 2 there is this second rule that caps a players win, thus only paying the player for 5 lines despite the fact the player is paying for 25 lines. I can understand the second rule to a point, but feel it is written unfairly to the average player.
If the rule is written to keep high rollers from breaking the house then it should state a max payout of say, $50k will be awarded. Thus the low roller can still enjoy the usually once in a lifetime hit of 5 expanding wilds and be paid accordingly for the amount wagered, instead of being penalized for the fear of high rollers breaking the bank.
I feel this is an unfair practice if a player has bought 25 lines and is only paid for 5. What is the point of having a game with expanding wilds if a player will never be able to acheive the true value of it?
I have questioned the casino about this and sent them my screenshot, they have forwarded this to RTG cs, hope this can be resolved for all players that have been capped.
RTG really needs to rethink this ruling as it is more of a dissapointment, than a draw, in the desire to continue to play with their software. Rules like this leaves a player feeling the expanding wilds are a false draw to lure players in to make big wagers for that ultimate 5 wild win.
I would have liked to have added a poll, but don't know how to do this, regarding is it fair or not.
