This industry seems to be saturated with complaints regarding the fairness of games and who you can trust, and I would like to know some inside information.
Blackjack is probably the most popular internet game and it is the game that most people bitch about the most on the internet. There are a few things I would like to know about the software for some of these companies such as microgaming, cryptologic and bossmedia.
First, in the game of blackjack when is the card you recieve determined?? Is there a certain # of cards in a queue or is the card determined exaclty when you press the hit button?? The reason I ask is you can tell if you could have made a different move and had a different outcome, which would make the game a fair game. Such as if the dealer hits your 12 with a 10 card, if you would have stayed, would the dealer have gotten the same 10, or would they have gotten a different card?
Secondly, I have heard someone in this forum state that most online casinos use 'Player Profiling' to determine what the player is going to do, does this mean you betting patterns are being monitored to determine the best time to start a negative streak?? For example you a have been winning for 2 hours and you are on a great winning streak and you keep betting the same amount, but all of the sudden you lose nearly every hand that you play, what happens then?? Does someone hit a button labeled win/lose?? It seems that in most online casinos at first you can win a little, but as soon as you start feeling comfortable and bet more money the house gets hot and you can't win to save your life. I can remember several times in cryptologic casinos and Bossmedia casinos when I would lose 17+ hands in a row, mostly from bust hands and the delaer getting 21's or BJ. Does the software have some sort of back door that allows the operator to manipulate the odds??
Some inside information would be helpful in this, after all, if it wasn't for us as the players online gaming wouldn't even exist, and I think that the industry would grow much more if people had real proof that they are not being screwed by some computer program. In a land based casino, the cards are right in front of you, and even though there are ways for even a land based casino to cheat, it is easier to check out and prove. But when the dealer is a computer that is 1500 miles away, its diffiuclt to tell what truly going on. If you are pre-determined to lose or win every time, then its not even gambling in my book, thats just giving your money away.
Lastly, if you have proof that a casino is cheating, what can be done about it???
