Well I dont feel comfortable outlining exactly how often I gamble in a public forum, but I can say I am a regular player and that RTG attracts the highest % of my deposits.
The fact you played with bonuses some of the time may
increase your play time, but it actually
decreases your cashout possibilities. Someone else mentioned that the more you spin, the more you lose....this is very true. Unfortunately, those who do everything they can to extend their play are shooting themselves in the foot when it comes to actually winning something....you cant have both.
An obvious shift? Do what I did a few months ago out of interest, and go right back to 2006 or 2004 etc and read the posts here at CM. Have a guess what a whole lot of them say?? "The slots have been tightened" "The RTP has definitely been reduced" "I dont get any play time anymore" "RTG are ripping everyone off" "MG slots are worse then ever". In other words, exactly the same as you and others are saying all the time. Now, if the payouts have been declining by a noticable amount for the past 10 years or even 5 years (as you would come to believe from reading CM over that time), then the RTP would be about 10% by now and NOBODY would win anything EVER - and that simply isnt true. Tell me, do you gamble exactly the same as you did 2 years ago? I know I dont. We all go through periods of winning and losing and most of us adjust our play over that time e.g. how much we bet, how much we cash out, how much we deposit.
I believe it is us (the players) who change over time, not the slot payouts. The audited slot payouts from CM accred casinos are pretty much the same as they have always been, so you either think that they are all full of cr*p and that Bryan still recommends them regardless as he wants you to get ripped off, or you look
elsewhere for the reason.
Its much easier to carry on about a casino cheating or ripping us off than it is to look inward and re-assess
how you gamble. I know for a fact that I gamble a lot smarter than I did years ago and I have reaped the financial benefits.....but the whole process takes honesty and humility. However, as I said throwing around unfounded accusations is the easy road so happy travelling to those who stay on it
Yes it was - and is - as the whole thread has shown that some dont understand how the whole RJ thing works - and there is nothing wrong with that BTW - but its pretty disappointing to see that many of those people arent interested in learning. Just take the easy road - after all, its easy.
So, it is actually relevant to the topic at hand which is RJs.
Yes, the RTP figure quoted by RTG casinos for specific games
include the RJs...whch is between 1-2% of the total RTP. Would you notice the difference between a slot with an RTP of 96 and one of 94.5? Not unless you had a spreadsheet, enough money for a few million spins and a lot of time on your hands. Can you tell from a few hundred spins? No way on Earth.
As for having a better chance when the jackpots are smaller - yes you do. After all, they hit more often so it stands to reason. Mind you, there may well be more people playing the games at that casino so you might have more competition, so its difficult to measure. However, technically you have the same chance betting $1.20 when then RJ is $2000 than if it is $80,000. I know people who have had their PC set to spin .20c all night long and have been successful in hitting RJs, although it seems many casinos have a way of picking up on this and the managers started to disconnect accounts after an hour or two so that person doesnt bother any more.
Lottery tickets are a good example in regards to the more tickets you buy the better your chances. On these slots, the higher your bet the more 'tickets' you get per spin.
No. Please point out where I said that. Rushmore should remove the 'non-winning' winners to reflect the reality of the situation.
I'm confused. You say you are not arguing that the money in the pot is illegitimate, but then you say it is suspect. So which is it?
If a RJ went off somewhere for say $7800, and then it went off a day or two later for $1,350 - would you be yelling 'cheat'?? Ive seen this happen on many occasions, and seen the same person win the same jackpot within 24 hrs (second one was like $1,080 or something). So, the fact that the Robs castle one went off within a few days just means when the RJ 'counter' was reset (which is what happens when the funds are replaced) it went off early. Nothing suspicious there at all.
Hiring a ringer? Staking them to win their own jackpot back?? Are you serious??? If you even believe 1% of what you said, why in hell do play at any online casino???? You say its speculation....I say its taking a swipe at Rushmore and then disguising it as some kind of joke. Its the kind of thing that grates my gears - spraying a whole lot of really accusatory and damaging rhetoric about a business and then avoiding the responsibility of backing up the claims by putting a lol or a
or some other kind of hand-washing remark after it. Its all about credibility as I said - if you believe Rushmore does it then you would have to believe that possibly all RTGs do it (or CAN do it), so if you deposit at any RTG again then you
lose your credibility. Its nothing personal, its just a fact. After all, you would be putting your money into the hands of people who you believe are cheats and liars - and I wouldnt take the word of anyone who knowingly did that.
I think you will find there are lots more active slot players than you think. Also, how do you know that some 'whale's fav game isnt Robertas Castle? There are more $20-100 per spins players than you think also. Is it reasonable to believe that 100 people a day would log in just to play one slot? No - its probably far more than that. E.G. How many people do you think are playing ThunderstruckII right now?
Inetbet randoms have always tended to rise slowly, which may be due to lower player numbers or a lower % of contribution. The only time Ive seen them 'fly' is when the RJs are high - which is something else to consider - the higher the RJ gets the higher many people bet and therefor the faster it goes up etc etc.
I dont think you specifically are and I didnt say that either. Its a lack of understanding in many cases, and an unwillingness to understand.
If you dont wanna hit a RJ with a free chip - dont play a slot with a RJ with a free chip. Simple.
Yes everybody has the right of free speech - but along with the right comes a
responsibility. If you want to make your opinion known, then you have to be prepared to have it challenged and be prepared to back it up- otherwise its just hot air. Do you think its OK for me to call someone a moron, and then when challenged as to why I think that I reply "because I just do"??
We arent talking about baseball cards or each others' haircuts here - Rushmore is an accredited casino and should not have unfounded accusations levelled against it.
Got some real proof that they are cheating or ripping people off? Im there with bells on. Until then, its just the same stuff Ive been reading here for 5+ years.
