Has anyone else encountered this? Lately, while playing Microgaming slots, although it seems to really happen while playing two particular ones, the slot will land on a winning payline (usually with a big payout attached) and then immediately "jump" to a NON winning combination? At the same time, the slot "noise" will garble as well. This happened repeatedly at Collosseum last week, and I wrote them about it several times. THEN, it happened when it should have resulted in a $1000 payout; the last reel then adjusted itself and it became a $10 payout. I immediately emailed them, giving them the exact time of day it happened, etc. I couldn't take a screen shot because it happened so quickly. I don't expect anything to be done about it, and I got the big "we will report this to Microgaming and get back to you" blow off, but I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this??
 
I think someone else mentioned this same thing happening to them late last year. Maybe Linda7? Or dominique?? I can remember, but I"m pretty sure it was a female player.
 
LOL...I swear to GOD it happened to me at Lucky Nugget, 3 days ago. I was playing some slot game with alot of across and diag. lines. 3 grey 7s appeared in a diag. line all in a row on the lines. Then the 7 in the bottom left hand corner moved down slightly. I laugh and was like damn, these MF wants it all back. I then smoked a joint and gave it all back. :eek:

I am sure it is designed to be like this to make you feel that you almost hit a big prize so that you keep playing. Slots work like this: the RNG generates a random number, which determines where the wheels will stop, then the machine puts on a show with the wheel spinning and eventually the wheels stop where it was determined that they should stop. A mechanical wheel may get jammed and stop in the wrong position, but it won't happen in online casinos.
 
Maybe, but I only seem to encounter this on a few select slots...do they really think that getting gyped out of a jackpot encourages you to continue playing "in hopes"?? just the opposite with me, I won't play those anymore, it just pisses me off too much!!
 
Recruit -
Did anything ever get done with this spinning thing? The same thing happened to me earlier today. It happened so fast that I wouldn't categorize it with jumping or sticking, per say, but I'm waiting on the casino to email me back. It's been over an hour and we're talking a $5000 win, so I'm very anxious. I'd posted under the general Online Casino folder but prob should've posted here in the complaints.

I wish I had read this post ages ago. :mad: I know now NOT to use a crowbar against my monitor's screen in hopes of slowing down the reels. So close so many times playing Aztec Treasure...


Note to "bayleesprings": "recruit" hasn't been to Casinomeister.com in almost a year. Methinks you're going to have to PM him on that one...

I dont know the machine you talk about but this sounds similar to the extra long 2 bell suspense spin of katmandu. Is it a fairly new machine by any chance?

Reminds me of a very old electro mechanic fruit machine "Moon Bug" :lolup: Any old skool arcade junkies remember this one???
 
It's not the "suspense spin", although I know what you're talking about. In this case, the whole screen (all reels) started to spin. When it was done, only the first reel stopped on the flamingo.
