lowered scores during contests

Post by oxymoron »

Is there a contest going on?   My scores consistently go down when playing a normal game whenever constests are active. 
 
Anyone else noticed this?

No, the next contest starts tomorrow. And any such occurance is purely coincidental, I assure you... assuming you play the same way. The games themselves have no idea if a contest is running or not. They are completely independent.

Webman I read in your post that the games were set up on VP the same as the casino. My question is what do you mean as it relates to the RND If that's the case why are the return so bad..

I assume you mean the RNG.Different programming languages have their own RNG methods, but the results are similar. Since the games on the site are written in a different programming language, the RNG method is not going to be exactly the same as the method used in the casino, but the result is still a random deal/draw each and every time so the end result should be relatively identical, barring any limitations in the flash RNG (we actually use a hybrid RNG function now to optimize the randomness).If the returns are bad for you, there are two possible reasons:1) Bad luck2) The pay tables are lower than you are used to playing
