500,000 spins on slots? Wow that's a lot!
I can't believe you've never hit "a thing" - it just doesn't make sense.
I play only a few hours a week, but still average a 100 x bet win at least twice per month.
What slots are you playing? Are they all progressives or something? Please can you name them?

Not really KK, especially if your in the USA. Someone wrote somewhere that the casinos have really tightened up, and they sure have. When I first started gaming on line and it was that long ago, just about 2 years, it never took hundreds of spins to get a feature that pays 2x your bet. Let me show you what I mean....
On this day, I played at an accredited casino, it took 153 spins on Caesars Empire to get a feature to win 11.20 on a 2 dollar bet. On that same day it took 107 spins on Mermaid Queen to get a feature to win 8.73 cents on a 1.80 bet.
On another day, the same accredited group it took 188 spins on Mystic Dragon to get a feature to win 3 dollars on a 1.25 bet. On that same day it took 146 spins on T-rex to get a feature to win 1.50 on a 1.25 bet.
On another day same accredited group it took 143 spins on Happy Golden Ox to win 8 dollars on a 1 dollar bet and this slot has 2 different features. That same day I had 149 spins on Return of the Rudolph and never got a feature before I busted out. I could go on for a long time with this because I do have my playlogs.
I don't know as if anyone can blame the casino, because I think it is the way the games are programmed. I can tell you this, it was a very rare occasion to get even the lowest paying symbol on a complete pay line. When I said that RTG has the "one off syndrome" I was not kidding. It is running rampid with this platform. I don't care what game you play, it seems like 98 percent of the time you are always 1 off from getting a full pay line, and that last symbol is almost always in view, either 1 up or 1 down.
When it became so obvious that this is what was happening time and time again I stopped playing. I had a better chance of hitting the lottery then I did to get something from these online places. If you notice, look how many screenshots are in the show me the money threads from Microgame compared to RTG. MG's shots are plenty and RTG are not. Not like it used to be. So I can see the OP's point on this one.
It will be interesting to see what platforms are still around when and if gaming on line becomes legal in the USA. But when and if it does, I am sure you will see a decline in RTG casinos, because I know many people will be heading straight for Microgame.
All the best,
