Ok, so there has been speculation about what the operators of RTG casinos can and cannot control. Some of it has been quite wild speculation, such as rumors of the proverbial "switch".
In the past month I have learned that the operator can control the RTP...sort of. Most recently I have learned that the random jackpot does not reset to the same amount in all casinos. At Rushmore I noticed one start off at $5000, not the normal $1000 like most. I also learned about reel symbols and how they can be changed by the casino. I also just learned that the rate the Random Jackpot accumulates is an operator setting.
Here is a potential biggie:
The rate a random jackpot builds is an operator setting in the back end. Have you ever played and felt nobody else was playing, since the number on the RJ was not moving? I thought the counter was broken recently. Support emailed me back and told me the game was set to only move 1c for every 50 spins at $1 per spin. Hence, it has been revealed that too is an operator setting. They can also make it look like the casino is quite busy changing this setting.
So my question is, how can we really trust RTG to be truely random? Does everyone really believe it is? How will we ever know for sure? How much trust do you all put on Technical Testing Sytems? I can put a label on my website too, telling me that the software has been tested for randomness. That doesn't make it true. I read a lot of complaints about the way the games play lately. It seems worse in the past couple years. I feel this too as I play.
Who are we small gamblers to question anything a casino tells us?
I have pretty much given up RTG as I have a gut feeling that what I suspect will soon come to light. Now I understand there has to be a winner once in awhile, and the casino has to continue to boast it's 95.6% payout or whatever they say. Who is watching over who is telling us all this? Yes, people, it's ok to question things!
