Hi. When I am not sure about whether to put my money into a new slot machine, I try the demo mode just to check it out. Several times, I’ve had the feeling that I was doing really well, but as soon as I switch to real money, my balance starts to go down.
Are online casinos trying to lure us in with a different software just to take our money once we start playing for real?

I’m not saying it’s not possible, but when you think about how fast the game switches to real money, it’s unlikely that it’s rebooting. but that is what it would have to do if there were differrent versions. Maybe Bartleby has a point.

Whether this is against the law or not might be a secondary issue – they don’t care – but the loading time is actually a good point.

My question is, does it really matter? Everybody knows that you can’t win continuously on slots. Play at your own risk.

What nobody here seems to consider is big numbers. Every story here from losing everything to taking a single wager into a one million pound bankroll can be true. In fact, it should be because everything that can happen, happens.
That is because the samples are tiny. 1000, even 10,000 spins at a slot machine are not nearly enough to deduct anything meaningful from the results.
Only if you played millions, maybe hundreds of millions of spins of a demo next to a real money slot, would you see if both versions come to similar results. all experiments with smaller numbers than this will not yield results but coincidences.

Your approach is kind of lazy, but your conclusion is correct.

Time for someone to actually give this a try. Or does anyone know about a long time text of demo slots?

Actually, there is one known case of a provider offering casinos a slot with two different RTPs. Several players reported that the win rate was outstanding on demo play and non-existent on real money play. After an inquiry of the casino, the provider admitted that they had meddled with the RTP and pulled the game.

So that means we know it’s possible, but we have to rely on the trustworthiness of online casinos.
Makes a point for casinos licenced in EUrope, I’d say.

It’s probabyl not a good idea for an online casinos to operate like that. Don’t forget: they don’t want to take your money as fast as possible, they want you to come back and play more.
Also, if they scam you and are found out, they’re dead.

Everybody thinks demo is rigged. Just like poker. Only it isn’t. You just choose to remember the bad beats more than the lucky strikes.
