No bots? Then perhaps you can explain this anomaly. I'm the only playing spinning the slot. Then a player joins, starts hitting scatters all over the place, meanwhile I'm doing nothing but losing. This happens all he time... Right now as a matter of fact. And every time the game appears to want to hit 3 scatters, it hesitates. What I don't understand is how some players join the game and are seemingly very lucky to win. Me on the other hand... Well, let's just say this is the last time I'll be losing to your site. That's the last .5 you'll get from me. Enjoy.

I'm not sure. It's possible that they were playing games very quickly, so they will get 3 scatters more often.

We tried to pick a slots reel ordering that has a high chance of winning and also a large expected jackpot. We run the reel configuration through a simulator that tries every combination to see what the outcome will be. From that information we contribute all expected winnings to the progressive jackpot, except for the 0.5% house edge. We currently contribute 1.6% of slots bets to the progressive jackpot. We could try to find a reel configuration that contributes less to the jackpot but pays more out to all players. Would something like that be preferable?

I can't speak for everyone else, but of course I'd prefer that more. Everyone can't hit the jackpot, but those of us playing, it would be nice to actually win a lil something from the slot.
