I can see no reason other than 'It gives casinos an excuse not to pay'.
One of the things that impressed with Rival is that bet size and disallowed slots are both controlled by the software, it's impossible to bet too much or play the 'wrong type' of game.
Microgaming can't manage that, but Rival can - go figure......
I think you'll find its about cost vs reward. I don't have figures, but judging from CM members, the number of players who breach this rule would be incredibly small. The vast majority of these players do it deliberately to gain advantage and/or don't read the rules, and a very small % would be innocent mistakes. Now, I'm all for leniency when it is a genuine error, like a when someone plays a few spins, realizes they oopsed, stops playing, and contacts the casino to get the OK to keep playing.
The OP doesn't fit the definition of "genuine error" because:
1. It was $800+ worth of spins not one or two, and
2. By their own admission, the OP had actually played not only FG games before, but mice dice specifically, and therefor knew about the side bet and how it works.
Yes, casinos should have SOME leeway. Most of us are human after all, but if you allow someone almost 100 spins over the limit just because they weren't paying attention (their words) then Max will be taking sloto PABs for the next 12 months from players who lost winnings in lesser or similar circumstances. In fact, I can think of one rather large claim that would qualify under these criteria.
So my question is....why should RTG pay people to change the software, and possibly burden operators with those costs, to cover the asses of a tiny % of players who don't take due care and responsibility? Personally I've never been caught by such a rule, and most people I know haven't either. All you have to do is watch your bets....if you can't do that you shouldn't gamble IMO.
Now, to the "High Priced Lawyer"(I'm surprised you know Vinylweatherman that well after your short time here....)......I'm sure they won't kind providing their legal opinion in writing and providing their credentials
. It's amazing how many complainants "know lawyers" who just happen to totally support their position.
It's interesting how the true nature of a person comes out when faced with the truth. I received a PM from the OP containing the usual crapola I.e. if you agree with a casino you must work for them. Anyone here who thinks this guy didn't have an agenda when he joined is kidding themselves.
@matt.....AFAIK the side bet changes according to the feature guarantee i.e. some have a 100 spin limit and others have 150 spin limit.
