One thing I hate is that bots CONTINUE to win the progressive jackpots that are high and this is very well known, that I have seen the last 3 happen when the bots come in, it gets hit and all leave. It's really unfair and should be stopped. If you can't do that in a real casino, why are you able to cheat the jackpot online?
We're working hard on limiting the bots. We agree that it's unfair that they can jump in, play a ton of games very fast, get the jackpot, and then leave again.
Just to be clear, the bots don't have a better chance of winning the jackpot per game played. All games played are the same, regardless of whether it's by a bot or a human. It's only that they're able to play so many more games than a regular user can play, so they have a higher chance of eventually getting it. To get that chance, the bots pay for many more games played, which can end up screwing them if they end up not getting the jackpot. In that case, the human player wins all of the jackpot contributions made by the bots.
It's a tricky problem to limit the bots. If we rate limit accounts or IP addresses, they can create more accounts that run on different IP addresses, but at a slower pace. If anybody has any solutions to this, please let me know. For now, we have started to temporarily disable accounts that are blasting the server with a ridiculous number of games per second.
