I just don't understand you. After all the negitive you had to say, you then go ahead and make another deposit at an RTG casino.
Here is just a couple of your quotes about RTG platforms:
But for the die hard that still believe that RTG is the greatest thing that's come along, might as well just start sending them your paychecks in a gift box with a bow.
and you also said:
How dumb can we be, or how dumb do they take us for.
So log on to your banking, open a savings account just for when you want to play, then everytime you are thinking of dropping some money into an RTG casino, put it in the savings account instead. I'm sure that in no time you will see you have created your own Random Jackpot and didn't have to compete with anyone for it, nor watch it go to someone else
Mavin, I am not picking on you but just pointing out the obvious and that is, no matter how much people bitch about RTG....they still come back and send them more money. You are not alone as most who bitch are the regular depositors.
I myself play RTG but I don't complain. I except the risk and do it my own way when gambling. It just frustrates me that those who say RTG is rigged...fixed...or whatever are the ones who keep depositing
This is the very nature of gamblers. Addiction. If only it were so easy to find a replacement for gambling. I have lost count of the number of times I told myself I wont spend another dime on it only to renege on it days or even hours later. Ranting, to a certain extent, leads to less frustration.
Normally, I only complain about the table games especially paigow poker at RTG but there seem to be a host of complainants on the RTP with regard to the slots and I am proud to be among them.
There are many ways that the RTP can be lowered and adding a low-paying symbol to the first or second reels is definitely one of them. So Fruit Frenzy and Golden Glove have been sort of
tampered with in this respect. Could this have happened to other slots? Definitely. However, this is only one of a multitude of methods to decrease the RTP.
A lot of my RTG slots play is at Diamond Dozen and I can confidently tell you that the RTP has been lowered in the past few months.
1/ I have encountered many sessions where there were no features in 300 spins. Okay, that happens so we move on.
2/ The blue diamonds act as scatters but can only be activated if they count from left to right. 3 Blue Diamonds activate the 12 free spins whereas 2 of them pay 2x your total bet. I have no problems with the former but there is a distinct lack of 2 scatters. Given that there are 2 blue diamonds in each of the first 2 reels, it seems funny that they only appear together very rarely. The lack of these scatter wins decrease the RTP to some extent especially in the long run.
3/ The white diamonds feature pays you x times your bet amount and the feature is activated when 3 or more white diamonds appear anywhere on the screen. X is determined through the multiplication of the number generated in each of the white diamonds eg if the white diamonds show 2,3, and 4 the feature pays 24 times the original bet (2x3x4). Naturally, the 2s and 3s occur most frequently whereas 9 and 10 and even 1 are rare. However, in the past few months, over more than 10K spins, there were hardly any features with the higher paying numbers. In my last session alone, $50 was wiped out at $0.20 spins because the features that I got (around 20) never paid much. The 60+ white diamonds all had a value of 2 or 3. Nothing else.
I am sure many of us have encountered something different at other slots. Since people want details, why not post them here. I applaud Mavin for posting it here and hope others will follow. I am not on a crusade against RTG but dont want them to think we are all stupid. Revelations on how they have reduced the RTP at individual slots is a start.
