Everyone who plays a bit RTG slots know that when you hit two scatters you could almost with 100% accuracy predict whether third scatter will hit just by looking at where the reel in question starts spinning.

Well, at least it was like that in the past. But it has changed during the last year. Many slots play differently, like for example: Crystal Waters, Trex, Count Spectacular, Enchanted Garden(and probably others that I don't play) -
you can no longer predict whether you trigger feature or not. And I play these slots very rarely since then.

Of course there are still many slots which gameplay haven't changed.

But today another slot joined to these mentioned above. My favourite RTG slot - Paydirt. I have to redownload it at every RTG casino I play and it has changed gameplay.
And it really pissed me off, beacuse I have no idea what all these changes mean.

There are still old version of these games in tournaments.

Have anyone else noticed it too? What's your thoughts about that?

We all know that RTG have three version for their slots, and with changes like that my first thought is always that they lowered RTP. I think I need to buy my own tin foil hat.

Shame that Dogboy is no longer posting, maybe he could shed some light on this.
 
They changing games to Flash version and of course it changes
I was upset a bit from very beginning , but now it seems a bit more interesting
Keeps you intrigued if you will get that bonus round;))

But I personally don't like the way reels spin in the new version.
 
Thanks, pobeda. At least it has nothing to do with lowering RTP ;)

And I also don't like how they play right now. I definitely preferred old versions. I liked to predict whether I hit the feature or not.
 
No, I may be dumb, but I never found it predictable. At any rate, I did notice Paydirt was 'unavailable' yesterday, as was Triple Twister, so you might want to check that, too.
 
Actually, I find it easy to predict------99 times out of 100 it will be NOT!

Lol;) 1% is way too much for success;)
On the other hand, i played so much, I can easily predict if bonus symbol will fall on the 3rd, 4th or 5th rail or anymore in many games, since they changed to flash
 
Nice new slot release from RTG. Football Frenzy just a shame Cryptologic already got same slot (or name that is) anything about copyrights here?? :p

I think they should had called it "Football RIP-OFFside"

I also play so much could predict most...but you are right a lot have changed and now I am much more surprised when I get bonus. I think I like element of surprise for added fun.
 
Yeah, I know that many people probably like these changes, but for me predicting if I hit feature or not was part of a fun.

However, I still love RTG and I will get used to it.
 
Added "?" to the title since it is more a question than a fact. Good luck in predicting the bonus rounds though. :p Generally speaking.
 
Well, there are changes, but only visual changes.

And just to be clear, you could only predict if you trigger the feature after you had hit two scatters(or whatever trigger the feature).
You just looked at another reels and you knew whether third scatter will land or not.

My english isn't perfect, so maybe some of you misunderstood me.

Maybe pobeda, or anyone else who know what I mean, can explain this better.

I can hear some skepticism lol :)) Well, no need for "?" sign. this is is quite simple. If you not aware, you probably did not waste much time in RTG or just did not paid attention.

In RTG games, if you get two scatter (for example, Loose Caboose reel 1 and 2), other reels will spin slower and you holding you breathe trying to get 3rd one.

So each of those reels (3,4,5) while they spinning, you can see symbols pass trough. without going into many details about each spin and how images supposed to path to land a scatter, I will give you one: on reel 5 if scatter passes after Wild symbol in between 5-7 images from reel start you will land a scatter.
It probably does not make much sense for those who did not play much, but I am sure there many who knows what I mean.
With years, I can tell I am rarely wrong on any of those calls.In each game there different scenario. For example last reel of Pay Dirt, if scatter goes between 3-5 from beginning of reel spin you will get it, however, if you see two scatters one after the other in the same scenario, you will miss.

This is only works with older style games (not the flash games). And its sort of hard to explain in words (maybe I will come to London once for CM gathering lol), you gotta see it yourself. All you need to do is to follow reels (spinning slower) and get the pattern

if someone would like to name game and ask for pattern, I will gladly answer.

edit: asghan, my English is terrible as well. I apologize to CM members if this response was confusing and hard to understand.
