Casino's are now open, only with Slots. I know, I know, you hate me.

I'm doing this for a reason. To get an understanding of how much the casino will make in X amount of time, I need to run this as they will be when they are opened to begin with. So for now, all cities have an open casino, and all casinos only have Slots.

Once I gather the data that I need from this, I will open up more games within the casinos. Until then, we will all deal together.

A quick note about Slots. I have changed the odds and payouts for the game so now you have a more realistic, and entertaining, game of slots.

Report Post Tip

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now all I do is lose all my moniez....thanks Anubis.

PS. The thing now when you click to fast gets massively annoying, but I am sure there is a good reason for it.

Report Post Tip

There is a reason for it, I watched a few of the players playing 20 slot games in 1 second. This causes such a load on the server that it's unbearable at times. So we cut it to only allow 4 games in 5 seconds.

Report Post Tip

I think the bells have been put alittle too low this time. in real life slots you always have the x2 prize at two cherry's. I guess in this game that would be 2 Bells. and not 3.

As the Bells are the one that comes most often (but not often enough to warrent x2) such a low payout will make slot a 100% guarantied money loss game.

Slots should be about luck. and not be rigged to loose.

There should be possible to win on slots. else nobody will play it. Ofc the casino also hafto gain money. I so you either hafto find a good balance.

Or do as most slots machines are rigged todo. Set a % that can't be won from the game. and then let the game be relatively easily to win from. Until the available cash has gone down to a set %. that way. either you can hard code it. or the owner of the casino can set the limit them self.

Let the casino have it's own cash account. then make each owner hafto transfer cash to any new casino. And after that they they can set how much % of the profit is available for payout.

I'm not saying the casino should stop payout out all together when the limit is reached. But just how often ppl win could be regulated by how much cash the casino has gained. But never paying out more than it's gaining. and if ppl get really lucky or the owner removes cash from the casino. Then the rate of wins will be reduced accordingly.

I'm very sleep right now. So I might not make totally sense.

but the bottom line is. let casino owners regulate them self just how often ppl can win. either by an setting. or by the amount of cash they transfer to the casino. The more the money, and the lower the bet, the higher the chance of winning. But have a set limit on profit that can't be payed out.

This way casino owners are certain to gain money. and not loose money. But as the amount of cash available in the casino can be public. This way you create competition between casinos. and even ppl that doesn't have lots of cash to put into the casino can compete. They can just reduce the max bets. and the min profit limit. and their casino with little cash. will be easier to win at than the big casino with lots of cash. Atleast for small betters.

Well. That's my 5 cent anyway. Dunno if this made any sense at all. I'm tired. going to bed. nite.

Report Post Tip

Yup. the slots are useless the way they are now. I didn't go to bed. I stayed up and tried the slots for 2 hours.

I lost about 500k I actually lost more. But I got 3 cherrys at the end.

To tell you the the truth. I'm not sure what insulted me most. getting 3 cherry's. and they didn't even cover half my losses. or getting 2k every time I got bells. For me. getting bells was Loss, not a Win. Bells really needs to go from x2 to x5

In slots. you  have ups and downs. you can have long dry periods where you don't win at all. if you have the cash to ride it out, you'll eventually start winning again. Some times you might not win all you lost back before you get another dry period. So you either run out of patience, time, or money. Or you win. Slots or much more than just luck. It's a game of patience.

But as things are now. I'm not going to put a dime more into the slots. not with those payout. Cuz even when I was on my UP I was loosing.

The grand price from the 3xCherries has to be WAY WAY WAY higher to justify so low prices from the bells and lemons.

My Advice to people. Don't waste your money. The only way to win on Slots now. is to get VERY lucky. and play VERY little. Spinning a few times for fun, and getting lucky. That's all Slots are good for atm. But most likely you only going to loose.

Report Post Tip

Maybe it was just a bad run of luck because for not being able to win I came out about 25,000 in winnings and only spent about 3 grand.  Too me that is ok, gambling is not a for sure money maker that is why they call it gambling sir.

What slots game are you playing? Slots has always been a game that, over the course of it, you will lose. It's a game of hit and miss. You play it here and there, hoping for a jackpot, but not playing for too long, or you will definitely lose. The payouts have been changed to what they are now because otherwise the casinos will never be profitable.

Currently the casino's are only making around 80 dollars per game. That's with over 7000 games played. Personally I believe this is an acceptable profit margin for such a game of chance.

Report Post Tip

Personally I believe you need to fix my dearest love; BlackJack. <3333333

Report Post Tip

lol telkin, Blackjack is operational, just not opened yet. I'm trying to get a fix on how much each game will earn in an actual "playing" sense. As when we open these up for users, they won't be fully operational to start with. You will have to purchase roulette and blackjack upgrades.

Report Post Tip

Well. If nobody plays your game. It's not going to generate any more. And as it is now. I'm not playing slots anymore.

I'll try the Blackjack a little. But Blackjack has always been a suckers game. As all the odds are stacked against you.

But I do love a game of BlackJack. So I'll try it.

But slots?? well. RIP...

Report Post Tip

I don't say this often, but as I'm completely tired of listening to you, I will:

Titus, you are a dumbass.

Blackjack is the only game with a half a snowballs chance in hell that you have of winning with skill. The odds aren't stacked against you, you're the only player that has any chance. The dealer follows a set rules. He's predictable. Christ. As for slots, the odds are always stacked against you there. Same with Roulette.

Don't play the casino, but please, do some research.

Report Post Tip

In blackjack, you always start first. The dealer doesn't even hafto draw a card most of the time, cuz you go over.

How is that not having the odds against you?

Report Post Tip

it's a game of strategy. If you learn how to read the cards, and make educated guesses based upon what cards are shown, you have a greater chance of winning at Blackjack then any of the other games on the casino floor--aside from Poker, which isn't available in the MR casino ANYWAY.

BlackJack= my dearest love. An00bis just hates me, therefore he's delaying it's arrival. 

True story.
