Playing in one casino vs. many?

[pinnit2015]

Hi,

 

I'm sure there are some mathematical/probability type people who would have the answer to this...

 

Do most people find it's best to stick with the one casino or spread their deposits across a couple of sites? Or does it even matter! I don't know whether it's in my head but there are some casinos that i simply stopped playing because they were not paying out - does the actual site matter if they all pull the data from the Net Ents/Microgaming etc?

Well...when I first started playing a few years ago I'd go from casino to casino to casino however nowadays I have a lot less casinos that I deposit in, with a few new ones here and there.

 

In all fairness I probably made more withdrawals when I was going from casino to casino but the again I had a lot more time to make deposits then than I do now

 

In answer to your question does it matter ... not sure to be honest I guess we'd all have different opinions about this.

Yeah - i know they all pull through from the software providers but there are some i just know will never give me the magical sarah blitz in the immortal romance bonus! (compared with some that have given me it quite often)

 

Think i'll test 50 in one today and then spread 50 across 5 - all in the name of research

Well, to be very honest and open-minded about this, each one of us do tend to have one or a few 'favourites', be it partner wise, eatery wise or even casino wise. Hmm, include game wise too. 

 

No one person can have the same likes or dislikes, no one casino can be good for every gambler, and the possibilities of variances is unsurmountable!

 

For me personally, I always stick to a few favourite casinos - those which have performed better for me than the rest, those that usually give me more wins, those that don't ever give me withdrawal problems, and such things.

 

Spending money all over the place, at every other casino, is simply a good waste of good money, unless of course if you always win in doing so...then you should stick to it! 

[pinnit2015]

Very true - I naively think when i sign up to somewhere new 'oh they'll be generous to me, so that i come back' but it never works 

 

I think i'll stick to the 3 i like - and that i know payout quickly/reliablly.

 

I've been spoiled mircrogaming in the past - so much so that i'm blind to how much all their new games are simply clones of each other! 

 

New years resolution is to try more Novomatic slots :-) And break the MG habit!

That's the way to go Pinnit! 

 

Find your favourites first, then stick to them like a leech, but only for as long as they performed good for you! 

 

Microgaming has lost me since more than 10 years ago! Hahaha.

I am a member of a casino for a couple of years now and whether I lose or win, they still give me freebies like big spins, bonus cash etc. Your loyalty will be rewarded if you are on the right casino. Sure there are some casino only interested in your money, never give you freebies or any bonuses.

I always stick to 2 or 3 casinos just because they treating their loyal players well, showing their graditute. I respect that kinda casinos. See, great casino is not only about best games or great looking website etc. Friendly and helpful support are also important, makes you feel you are more than welcome.

Yep compleyely agree if a casino has great games but terrible support its very likely I won't make a deposit.

In a mathmatical sense spreading accross multiple casinos would mean you are simply going to encounter different results based on random number generators of which the outcome will be random in nature in theory.

Though in practice much can be said about the reputation of a casino where the said deposit would take place and if the pseudeo random number generator being implemented is fair and without flaws though in a perfect world this would be desirable : one such example is the Mersenne Twister general-purpose PRNG having 

advantages and disadvantages in a mathmatical sense .

 

Disadvantages

The large state space comes with a performance cost: the 2.5 KiB state buffer will place a load on the memory caches. In 2011, Saito & Matsumoto proposed a version of the Mersenne Twister to address this issue. The tiny version, TinyMT, uses just 127 bits of state space.

By today's standards, the Mersenne Twister is somewhat slow, unless the SFMT implementation is used (see section below).

It passes most, but not all, of the stringent  randomness tests. Because it is based on simple linear (xor) operations, it fails tests based on linear complexity after relatively few bits of output, despite its extremely large state. Passing the output through a simple hash function can remedy this weakness.

Multiple Mersenne Twister instances that differ only in seed value (but not other parameters) are not generally appropriate for Monte-Carlo simulations that require independent random number generators, though there exists a method for choosing multiple sets of parameter values.

It can take a long time to start generating output that passes randomness tests, if the initial state is highly non-random—particularly if the initial state has many zeros. A consequence of this is that two instances of the generator, started with initial states that are almost the same, will usually output nearly the same sequence for many iterations, before eventually diverging. The 2002 update to the MT algorithm has improved initialization, so that beginning with such a state is very unlikely.

 

Advantages

The commonly used version of Mersenne Twister, MT19937, which produces a sequence of 32-bit integers, has the following desirable properties:

1. It has a very long period of 2¹⁹⁹³⁷ − 1. While a long period is not a guarantee of quality in a random number generator, short periods (such as the 2³² common in many older software packages) can be problematic.
2. It is k-distributed to 32-bit accuracy for every 1 ≤ k ≤ 623 (see definition below).
3. It passes numerous tests for statistical randomness, including the Diehard tests.

k-distribution

A pseudorandom sequence x_i of w-bit integers of period P is said to be k-distributed to v-bit accuracy if the following holds.

Let trunc_v(x) denote the number formed by the leading v bits of x, and consider P of the kv-bit vectors

Then each of the 2^kv possible combinations of bits occurs the same number of times in a period, except for the all-zero combination that occurs once less often.

 

This is just one example though in all honesty after sifting through quite a few casino's I can honestly say based on

statistics that the following are trustable in my humble opinion their random number generators are very fair

and the games are holding true to their base return to player percentage :

 

1. Videoslots

2. 32 Red Casino

3. Betsson

4. Interwetten Casino

5. BitStarz Casino

6. Guts Casino

7. Betat Casino

8. Betchan Casino

9. Limoplay Casino

10. TTR Casino ;

 

There are many others of course but these I have tested and found to be safe and fair to make

deposits , not be mucked about , fast verification , fast payouts , good customer service , and

etc etc etc.

Oh gees! That's a lot of 'Greek' to many readers Gamaliel...even a bit of Greek to me too! 

But thanks for all that info anyway...not that it can help me make a win...hehehe.

[Astaroth]

Can be tricky with links sometimes as keywords are picked up I didnt notice that on the way through Sharon thank you for pointing that out

Ill edit it a bit better next time .

In a nutshell I've found that the more reputable the casino is the better the chances are of winning : nothing is for certain

and theres no such thing as a sure bet ... but I've found being picky and choosey about where to play yields results .

No problem 

[raverbabe]

Mathematically, it shouldn't matter where you choose to spin the reels but I think all gamblers can't help but act on their intuition when it comes to which casinos are most lucky for them ... it's a self-perpetuating prophecy though, as once you get lucky somewhere you will most likely continue playing there more often than the places where you feel you are unlucky, giving yourself many more chances to keep on winning there.

 

Personally, I have begun to reduce the number of casinos where I play just because it enables me to keep track of my play much easier. I've begun using the responsible gaming controls to keep tabs on how much I am playing each month and depositing at too many casinos makes it difficult for this to be effective.
