When they patch your favourite game

[red4slash]

Has it happened to you that some of your regular slots got patched in a way that affected your play style adversely?

I just know something like this because it's been a long time since I played slots because as far as I know I've never felt this before (or maybe I didn't pay attention because I just played it didn't care about RTP and some things that can be taken for profit ) but this is a new thing I know from slot games.

This is not common for me but if it did exist then I personally also probably wouldn't care because I when playing slots only focus on how I play and never pay attention to patches or some gains for certain requirements. This is also what might make me bored in playing slots because I only know about playing but don't understand some of the features or advantages in patches that make me unable to win slot games.

Anything is possible when they noticed that there are more user winning often from their gambling site either the game provider or gambling site could possible contact the game provided to make an adjustment regarding the winning ratios to be minimized whereby you would see people finding it that difficulties to win as usual or as regularly. This is the reason why I do not put much interest on slot games because I know that when they talks about provably games, I do not really think it works the way they preached about those games.

Exactly, some of these slots game if not all of them can be uttered by the Casino because it is not a real game or something that is happening in real live rather it is more like an imaginary or virtual game and this means that it is a program which can be reprogram in case anything is fishy or like you said, if it is not longer favoring them the way they expect it to, so it is very possible and easy to... unlike, sports betting where you will watch your game live and I guess this is the reason i don't like slot.

The casinos are the one controlling it. That is why you see that people usually lose a lot in all those games.
If majority of people are playing a particular game and they noticed that the people that are playing the game are many went on one direction and if they should allow it to go the way the majority predicted it may actually cause them to lose huge amount of money they will do something to change everything.
Yeah, Live sports is the best because when you lose, you know that it was because of the performance of the team that you trusted.

I prefer betting on sports events and teams, as well as playing poker where professional skill allows you to actually win, rather than just relying on luck.

I think thats maybe one of the reasons why betting on sports games and poker can sometimes be interesting more than slots. With sports, you can study the teams, players, their formation and maybe other valuable information before making a decision, while poker gives you room to use your strategy, and experience against other players tho unexpected things can still happen, but having some level of control over your decisions can make your experience different from spinning a slot and hoping for the right outcome.

Recently a slot I really liked was patched and it has affected my play style very adversely.

I guess it would be much better if you shared the name of that slot, or at least the provider doing this...

I can't say I noticed these "patches"... providers are re-releasing upgraded editions or sequels of old headlines. So we have the most popular "Megaways" versions, or something similar. But in all cases, the classic game stays, but there are new editions/versions. And some of them are pretty good, in my opinion...

When your game is patched it can really be discouraging more especially when you want to rollover your games with bonus fund. Many casino games or platforms has will expect you to rollover your bonus many times before you can be able to take your own profit, and they will possibly remove their bonus fund from your potential before giving you the remaining funds. There are times when I feel very reluctant using these bonus fund because it is not the same thing with your real fund, and that is why many people don't make use of bonus sometimes. Ordinary when you bet with your real money, when your game is successful, you take profit without rolling over, but that is not the same with bonus fund.

I am surprised that alani123 noticed the patches, but it is not easy for people to know, they can only guess if a casino game as be patched. If the way the casino is giving bonus on the game changed or the way the game gives winning and losses and some other things  becoming different can let people know if a game has been patched, but I think this is what most gamblers do not know, they only try to have fun or try luck than knowing if a game has been patched. Another thing is that most people may not know that the games are receiving updates just like apps and I think that is also part of the patches.

From my point of view, sports games are better than other games, in sports betting we can take specific decisions by researching the position and skills of team players etc. which is never possible through other games. However, winning through gambling depends on luck as well as research, but if you bet through specific research, the tendency to make mistakes is naturally less and you get satisfaction which is not possible in any other bet because sports games are much ahead in terms of transparency. If you bet knowingly through research, it becomes much easi for the gambler to accept whatever the result is, so the gambler can keep his mind steady and can gamble by taking the right decision after understanding.

I don't play slot games very often and that's why i don't pay much attention to patches that can affect my gameplay. Although I can understand the reason behind such changes that can affect bonus players. When a game becomes more volatile then the balance may fluctuate quickly which can make the rollover harder to complete. Even having decent RTP,  there's no winning guarantee rather high volatility can still affect the wins and make the game more difficult. It's wise to check current rules and game information before starting instead of depending on how it worked in past

Sad day when your favorite game is altered and no longer feels right, ideally it would not be instant like the way you could find old machines in the corner of a less popular casino site.  Sadly everything is unified now and efficient overnight changes upset players easily.

Clearly players should be well informed of the changes or its really not fair to pull the rug on them like that with unseen unknown alterations.

It's hard to notice the patches unless they provide some changelog or updates but it's true, we barely notice if some games have been patched.

Has it happened to you that some of your regular slots got patched in a way that affected your play style adversely?

No.

But I feel the bad beats when our favorite games have been patched and there's the changes that we're not used to it.

The feeling of being used to the pre-patch is hard to move on with especially when you've been winning those slots you play mostly with.

[Charcol]

For gamblers, low volatility slots seem to be advantageous during bonus rollover. Because since there are relatively more small wins, the balance stays in the wallet for a long time and the playing time also increases. Although you may have seen a few bad sessions after updating your slot, I would not say for sure that the slot has been made more risky on purpose.

You can first compare the return rate, volatility and prize structure of the old and new versions. If these have indeed been changed, I am sure that the previous strategy will not work the same in the new version.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Gambling in casino that allow quick withdrawal without network issues when making such transaction has been the best, and most favorite for me, I easily have aversion with any casino which gives me issue regarding to make quick transaction, I would prefer sports game more but also like others game I know the reason is that I give much attention to sports more others and while playing it's some how difficult since interest is not shown as much as possible compared to sports game.

[coinrifft]

It's weird though to see that our favorite game has been patch. So the question is what are the devs patch in the first place? Could it be the vulnerability of the game itself? Or it will take the advantage of the players, although slots are base on RNG.

So obviously, our first reaction will not be good at all. I mean you feel lucky on that game and suddenly something has change and now everything is not really going in your way. The only way is to stop playing it and look for other games.

Researching before betting gives gamblers experience and confidence, regardless of the outcome. Even if they lose a bet, it will not lead to much regret. The knowledge gained from research will benefit you in most cases, if not immediately, it will put you ahead of any important decision in the future. It is not entirely correct to say that the outcome will be in your favor or against you based on luck in gambling. Because of the knowledge gained from research, you can make the right decision while betting. Most of the results will not be in favor of gamblers, but losing gamblers bet again, research results will not always win over luck.

But I've been noticing games I used to utilise for more efficient bonus rollovers have been getting patched to have higher volatility. This spreads the wins to fewer players so obviously it affects bonus play more adversely. The game might have a 4% house edge but rolling over 100$ it ends up being realistic even losing your whole balance etc.

Has it happened to you that some of your regular slots got patched in a way that affected your play style adversely?

There was a time that I was also playing slots then it got patched to the point that it became unplayable.

They advertised that the rates were the same even if they added new options and combinations on the slot machine. Due to that, I noticed that my winnings dropped significantly and I was losing more in the process.

This is the main problem with these casinos- they sometimes add features that simply makes the game unplayable and unfair for their players. If this were the case, then better to play on a reputable casino instead of a relatively new casino who offers high bonuses and rewards but you sacrifice your privacy and safety on the process.

We know that gambling is actually based on luck however as a gambler you need to always do your research before gambling, I have won money from gambling through the research I did in the match that I predicted, if you don't do research and follow up the sport you are gambling on, you are going to lose more than the person that is researching and following up the sport his gambling on.
No one can take out the importance of research in gambling, and research is not only important in gambling it is important in everything you do in life.

Look, honestly, i don't really like playing slots, at least on the computer it's certainly not very boring, in person maybe I'd like to play it because of the context in which you play but then I'd be bored.
More than anything it is a game that is always repetitive and the same.

After losing a lot in slots, that's what I think too.

Slot games can really get under your skin when you play for a long time. That's what happened to me. Patches, updates, or whatever they do with their games, it can really be annoying sometimes when that happens, especially if you have already wagered a large amount on the game and are just waiting for the big multiplier to come.
I know there are slot players who, up until now, are waiting for that big win, but there's a chance that might not happen, and it could become very expensive.

You’re very correct, gambling has to do with luck, but research is still very much important, most especially when it comes to sports betting. If you follow the sport, check the team form and other factors, you can make a good decision rather than just guessing. I know research doesn’t guarantee win but it can help someone to avoid unnecessary mistakes. Even in life as a whole. Good information helps people to make a good decision.

This does not apply to me because I'm not a fan of playing slots to the extent, so I may not know if it really has an impact on my playing style or not if in case anyone is being patched, but we have some regular gamblance that we definitely easily fish out is light difference from things like this, which will definitely have an impact on their playing style and the result they may have when they experience it.
