Just for Mike
First off, what do I mean by rigged?
I mean that the results ARE influenced in some way and/or the game conditions do not remain unchanged.
In other words there is more than just a RNG at work.
Second off we need to know how genuine/unrigged software should be programmed to give a random and fair vidoe slot game.
1) Each result should be independent from all previous results
2) each result should have an equal probability of occuring
3) the number of combinations of winning results should remain constant
4) the payout % of the slot is determined by all possible line combinations
and the total returns resulting from these combinations.Thus the payout % of a slot should only be adjustable by adjusting the paytable and not altering the mechanics of the game.
Now let us take each point in detail and see how RTG and MG compare.
1) Is each result independent of all previous results?
This is impossible to prove either way but experience of poor results after a decent winning combination could be viewed as evidence to suggest this is not the case, especially with RTG.However there is no proof that the games are rigged in this way.
2) Does each result have an equal opportunity of occuring?
Here I think there is evidence to suggest this is not the case. As far as I am aware the Reel layout of a game can be changed (RTG) to affect the possible outcomes. If this is a fact then this constitutes a rigged game. Also if the layout remains the same but the likelyhood of a symbol appearing is lessened (scatter/wild symbols for eg) then this would also constitute a rigged game.
3) Do the number of combinations of winning results remain the same?
Obviously if the reel layout is changed then this is obviously not the case and so the game can be described as rigged.
4) Is the payout% adjustable at RTG?= YES at MG= UNKNOWN
Is the payout % adjusted by changing the paytable: RTG= NO MG=YES
Therefore the only conclusion can be that the payout % of RTG slots is adjusted by changing the mechanics of the game.
This means that the slots can not be truely random
Remember it is the Casinos that state their games are completely random if they were a little more honest then I wouldn't have to state the obvious.
Controversial?
Not really
