HI Phil, so in the past 6 weeks or so ive been playing on the same site as Bandit and doing bonus buys galore but unlike him ive never hit more than 1500x.

 

Anyway my question relates to the old original BGT max megaways games (Buffalo Rising (now called Bison rising for some reason), Temple of Treasures and Bonanza etc.

So on Buffalo, it has the mystery option where u can get 5/10/15 spins with 1/5/10 multiplier. Obviously 15@10 is very rare but over about 100 spins i hit it twice. However, on both occassions it paid like 10x on the first spin and then 14 dead spins…both exactly the same. So for a £80 buy i got back £8.40 and £8.60 respectively..Now this is SUPPOSED to be a super rare bonus so i find it impossible to beleive its playing fair.

Similarly on Temple of Treasures i managed to get 15 spins with 10000 ways, again rare and supposedly the best combo. That one gave a ZERO payout !!. Im like WTF.

Clearly seeing bandits wins its hard to imagine BC is being crooked but its very suspicious that i got rinsed on all three super bonuses..

My best win actually came on the Golden Catch which is a genuine high volatility game . So in that one i expect a £100 buy will regularly pay 25% or less but with the older games which are not rated as high volatility its where im getting screwed..

Anyway sorry to waffle on but its hard to take when spending hours losing on bad buys and then finally hitting the “Big one” and still it screws you.

Comments? Thanks

Decent question.

 

Firstly – Golden catch is actually quite low volatility. The bonus avg is within a low to medium range. SO that hit was actually quite good. Nice work.

Games havent changed since regulations changed. The game code and approval from the industry regulators is the same, we havent had any updates on any games since its been releases in a while. For me the wins have actually gone up somehow. This is variance and can suck when it happens. I know this answer may not make you believe it but the ONLY way a slot changes like this is if the RTP drops between plays. But just check the RTP and see. The blueprint game ive played it a lot and had a couple of shocking 15×10 bonuses on that. But ive had a lot of great ones too it just averages out in the end.

Hey Eejit, my question is when are you sending my flowers and a company mug with exclusive pens? ….

My proper proper question is… has anybody ever built in a cheat code for a slot game? ….like a programmer…. I’ve always wondered because it’s totally the kind of shit I’d do …

[ImperialDragon WANTED $68 Outlaw]

Hi Phil, and thanks for this Q&A thread.

My question is quite petty compared to most of the others on here.  No particular slot or provider, but I find that on a teasing spin, the 3rd scatter (or 4th if relevant) misses by 1 position, and my perception is that it happens a lot.  More so than any other type of tease where the 3rd/4th is nowhere to be seen.  So my question is: am I over-imagining this or are slots really programmed like this as a form of gambler’s fallacy to keep the player playing?

Yes on every game technically. When we get the games for testing they are on the portal and servers of the game provider. They enable a screen overlay where we can request the type of win we want. So I can test the game and click “5 scatter bonus” and ill get on to see what its like. Its clearly on the game iframe though so if anyone plays it you can easily see as you have to type in what you want to happen

Most slots are built in a way to generate teases. There have been a huge number of studies on this and the truth is players get more excited for somehting “almost” landing than if it actually does. Look at Steve on ReelKing gambles, he gets so tense on the last click. Its all aimed at that feeling of “almost”. They cannot over-do it though, it has to be int he realms of RG also, so thats why there arent teases every spin, but 100% thats why slow teases and “walking past waving” occurs

Great thread, Phil.

 

My question is why do online casinos ban me from bonuses/promotions when I make a few withdrawals? Surely it’s better for them if I use bonuses and promotions, due to the steep wagering that’s often attached to them?

[Smoothoperator WANTED $48 Outlaw]

If your talking about white hat gaming (whg) who open up an online casino every other week.. I feel your pain!! I used to accept the sign up bonuses, beat the wagering, then go to another sister site..and repeat.., eventually got banned..!, can’t even sign up anymore!! I played the games, followed their rules..! But banned. They’re online chat always said “we don’t have to give a reason”!!😂

Everything was legit,.. I guess they don’t like losing.. who knows?

[zandralapoi WANTED $9 Outlaw]

Hey Phil,

The ‘Super Stake’ button that apparently ‘increases your chances of landing the bonus’ buy increasing your stake by a few %, do they actually work, or just another way of getting more out of us!

I am very sceptical on these!

Thank you,

[ImperialDragon WANTED $68 Outlaw]

Thanks @eejit101 regarding the slot teases query 🙂

[Seyahkram1977 WANTED $697 Outlaw]

I got the … the ultimate question ……. Does the “extra chance of bonus” button make any difference what so ever ?
