Weird Incident

Hi,

Attached is an audit of the player’s game play and confirms that he won the Mini Jackpot and not the ‘Mega Jackpot’. This information was pulled by MGS directly from the DB.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Kindest Regards

The question the player poses is actually not something that I would know. This information is not available to me and to be honest, even though I have a tech background, I don’t really understand the question – likely because that information is not something that is available to me. I would suspect the player’s best avenue for finding out that information is to contact MicroGaming directly since they create/design the games.

I’ll get back to you once I have info from MGS.

Cheers

Thanks Renée.

I'll admit I don't really understand what 'weighted' really means [when it's used to manage an RTP %], but I'd sure like to learn a lot more - which seems harder than it should be at times [although I might just be getting old or more dumbed of course].

You've already illuminated it for me far more than most appear willing to do, and I don't want to push my luck, but I shall risk it anyway because I am fuelled with courage from drink. My main concern with 'weighted' is whether or not my understanding it more completely would affect my decisions to play certain Slots at certain times - I suspect such an understanding just might, which makes me marginally nervous due to my large bet sizing and volume.

Basically...and please feel free to ridicule me if I have the concept hilariously wrong....in a hypothetical where an incredibly high volume player had won a very large amount on a specific Slot at a small MGV casino - so much so that the single player's wagering dwarfed all other wagers in comparison [at that casino] - could the Weighted Slot in question [which had paid out so much] then be expected to correct the disparity? Over say a month, or whatever the period of time is for which the Slots are 'managed' to produce the expected RTP %'s?

Again, this is purely personal interest stuff, and if you cannot comment further on it, that's aiight....it's really quite unrelated to the Complaint posted above to which you're kindly responding....of course.

cheers

Just a quick update.

Still waiting on a response from MGS.

Regarding the player’s question here: As the Progressive is networked, is it all hosted on the Microgaming server? Are you able to go into a bit more detail regarding that?

All Progressive jackpot games are interconnected through a wide area network. Every bet made at every MGS casino at one of the progressives counts towards it’s jackpot, which often results in a very large jackpot. Due to the way all MGS Casino contribute to the progressives, each casino is constantly being updated by the Progressive servers on jackpot amounts and winnings, which also makes it very difficult for winnings to be altered in any way.

Weighted is a bit of a subjective term – obviously to meet the payout percentages, there is math behind everything and the results of the game are being managed to a degree. eCOGRA audits this all to ensure the percentages are accurate, and if anything had been manipulated here, it would take an impossible effort to co-ordinate across all systems to ensure it was all kept accurate.

Thanks.
