@FreeStyle – unlike pub slots, online slots are random and not compensated, so there is no reason (on this topic) not to play Reel King as a result of Bandit’s wins. Technically, you could play Book of Ra, for example, win 5000x in the bonus, then immediately do the same on the next spin. The odds are incredibly low of this happening, but they have not been adjusted at all as a result of your first win.
RTP is a theoretical figure based on probabilities, as a direct result of the programming and the maths that has gone into the slot regarding each outcome. It’s not a ‘guaranteed’ figure, so to speak, however the law of large numbers will see the RTP come super close to the theoretical figure over millions of spins.

15th April 2019 at 7:05 pm #59399I have a question or two for Casumo Andy.
Is the RTP per machine shared by any other players like it should be or is it per player ?
Casinos were allowed to change the RTP within legal limits, is this still true with virtual slots ?
To some people the answers seem obvious, while others have wondered.
Hello Mr B
If I am understanding your question correctly you are asking if, for instance, the Bandit would have a greater RTP set on his account due to the fact that he is “in the business” against someone like yourself, a regular account holder? The answer is a categorical no, absolutely not!
You will have the same “Return to player” as the Bandit or any other affiliate, affiliate streamer or anyone else in the industry for that matter while playing at the same casino.
I spend on average 12 hours a day, if not more, watching casino streamers at work and at home and I always see the usual chat comments “streamer button” “rigged for streamer” and for the ones, with little or no vocabulary “fake” I do always have a chuckle to myself, being on the inside, so to speak, I am behind the curtain on how it all works. I am not saying that if I were not in the privileged position that I am I would not be in the camp sceptic from time to time!
Slots, by way of design, are always in the casino’s favour and mathematically will always come out a few % ahead on every game that they host and yes when you have a 1000+ games that few % does equate to a good business module. You should never play slots for financial gain, yes there is always the chance that a certain point’s you will show a profit but over the course of time you will be showing a loss. Always play with what you can afford to lose, set limits and look at them as entertainment that is more enjoyable than golf with the occasional chance of coming out ahead! Something I would never have the chance to do on a golf course.
The part of the industry that I feel seems to manage to dodge the negative press is the actual providers themselves! They design the games for us to showcase on your behalf, for players to enjoy, love or hate. When a new game is launched they offer the casino the game to add to their platform, along with that offer, the casino is offered a choice of what is called “Return to player configuration” Included in this will be the default RTP of say 96.5% there will then be 4 or 5 other options like 94.1% – 87.5% and 84.5% the casino will then choose the tariff package that they would like the game set on. Knowing this information is why it is so important to be selective when you are playing slots at an online casino and to only play at reputable ones like Casumo. The same game at different casinos can have quite a wide margin of difference between them but they will always have the same RTP level set across all accounts that play there, the Bandit will have the same RTP as yourself if you were to play at the same casino.
There is no magic streamer button! The difference between the majority of streamers and the player is (The Bandit is excluded in part of this as in the 100s of hours of watching his content if my memory serves me correctly, I have only ever seen him use a deposit bonus once and I think it confused him a little so he didn’t do it again!) Availability of deposit bonuses, hours spent playing slots, regularity of playing slots, earnings from their personal affiliate deals and in the Bandits case a set of BIG BALLS!
This clears a hell of a lot up that I had questioned in the past.
<span style=”font-size: 1rem;”>I have</span><span style=”font-size: 1rem;”> a question about is the way that RTP works however.</span>
So say for example, Reel King on Casumo. The RTP is shown as XX.X%
Is that RTP site wide? Or is that RTP worked out over the duration of one single players account?
So if it was a site wide RTP, that would make me think that seeing TheBandits wins, and massive RTP on Reel King that I would stay away from that game on Casumo, because surely if he’s £170k up on that single game over the past 6months, that means the 170k will have to be recouped from elsewhere.
On the other hand, if it is over the duration of an account, these numbers that TheBandit is getting are even more special.
So the game designers will design the games math to a base RTP that they decide, this will be the top tier of the options that are offered to casinos for arguments sake call it 96% any casino that decides to stiff the player a little more will chose to set theirs at a lower configuration. This makes the dodgy casinos theoretical forecasted profits more than the reputable casinos but as this is based on billions and billions of spins the fact that Bandit has smashed/been smashed by Reel King at Casumo doesn’t make it less or more likely for more big wins/losses to come. It is never an account or casino RTP, it is a overall game RTP but still helps to play at a casino that has the RTP set at the best possible configuration for the player as the slightest adjustment in % of billions of spins is a lot.
