I would say your luck sucks.
Just for shits and giggles, I'll give it a shot later today at iNetbet. Choose a popular slot (not something sucky like that Fruit one), and I'll play it 50 cents a spin and see how many bonus rounds I hit.
Thank you Bryan for taking an honest and sincere approach to this issue. I feel the reason we never get anywhere is because our concerns always get attached with attitudes of, "Cheat", Rigged", "Liars", Can't never win, boohoo, don't know how to cashout and on and on.
None of these statments hold true. We as players only want to be treated with the respect we all deserve and be given the "Transparency", that we had asked for before.
We certainly do know how to use the cashout button and not to reverse if we are so lucky as to have a cashout.
We are not calling these casinos cheats or anything. Just asking if there are changes that we may be allowed to know as it is our money that is being spent.
For Kakata's statement on the percentage of us that have questions, he is looking at the overall concerns, not just this one thread.
Although I very much appreciated Dogboy giving the link that showed the two helmets on the video, it still doesn't answer others stating they have seen duplications of other symbols on other games. And how old is the video also, as this decline that many of us has been experiencing has been going on for some time now.
And as far as whether I would believe RTP reports, yes I would, as long as the overall play backed it up. This is what confirms reports in the first place. If a casino is advertising a good RTP then a player should be getting a decent amount of play time for their deposits made. Doesn't mean we are looking for a cashout on every session, again a label of stupidity by the scoffers. But we do want an expect some value for our money.
When I have tried RTG out again periodically, I skip around to several games playing minimum say around 40 cents and spend around $10-$15 to see how the slot is playing. If there are weak watered down plays, with no bonus rounds or free spins ever coming up, I move to another. I do not stay on one until all my deposit is gone. On many that I have hit a bonus round it is very rare to get a decent return to continue playing on that particular slot or others. Because of the way things have been overall with RTG sites, my testing the waters has become less and less.
The sad fact is that they have some great games that could be very enjoyable to play for lengths of time if the RTP was playing fair. Again, I stress we are not looking for a cashout everytime we play.
Years ago when I first started playing at RTG, it was on a $25 free chip and I played that free chip for 4 days off and on, never thinking of trying to get it up to make a cashout, just enjoying the fact that the $25 was giving me so much time of enjoyment.
So hopefully you will give the play you will test a fair evaluation and not just once on one slot. But if you are getting your monies worth then we would appreciate it if you let us know when you are testing it so we can play at the same time. Maybe this will be the only way we will get our monies worth if we play while the inspector is in house .
I would ask that those of you that haven't had this experience time and time again, to please not stereotype us that have, as being less than you, because we are not. Just allow us a real opportunity to seek the transparency and fairness that we are asking for.
I would like to finally add that a thread can be derailed in several ways and a derailer does not have to post on the thread to do this. They only have to start a new thread and stereotype the posters from another thread and still have the same effect as derailing on the actual thread.
