Noob here. Go easy, please.
More changes today in the Bovada casino with the removal of the remaining 3D progressive slots. Seemingly (to me) the loosest on the site. This on the heels of removing others and drastically reducing the VIP deposit bonus over the past month or so.
No illusions here about a house's right to maintain its edge. But does this site still recommend Bovada as a fair place to play?

They didn't remove the machines because they were the loosest they actually removed them for the opposite reason. Betsoft was found to have rigged machines that were not paying players properly. IE you couldn't hit the jackpots. There's a thread here "discussing" it. Actually no one seems to care much. This should be a major story and huge concern. How much did the players lose I wonder?Quote: yanceybrosNoob here. Go easy, please.

Axel you are right, it should be a big story. Maybe this shows how little people are playing. Maybe amother reason why payouts have been messed up.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

I don't think few people are playing. I think that not many people who play actually care about EV and value.Quote: GWAEAxel you are right, it should be a big story. Maybe this shows how little people are playing. Maybe amother reason why payouts have been messed up.
I'm sure most people put in a few hundred bucks, lose it all, and that's that.

Thanks, fellas. Surprised but heartened to find they were pulled for the players' benefit. My slot play is minimal and chintzy so EV was never a consideration. (I just assumed it was horrible no matter how one plays.)
See next graph for word on payout issues from Bovada customer service. (Received today.) My latest request has been pending for forever--relative to excellent response time on all previous withdrawals.

For others they are playing for fun. For those who are more on gambling and serious enough to win they will try to make their investment grow. If the machine does not even give a single player win jackpot then it should be remove.
