Videoslots caught lowering Pragmaticplay RTP

[Cyb3r]

Just discovered something fucked up... checked wolf gold on videoslots and the rtp is showing 93.99% but pragmatic play website says 96.01%. thats like 2% stolen from every spin how is this legal???
found this investigation from 2020 but apparently its still happening. videoslots and euslot both caught doing this. anyone else seeing this on other casinos?

ngl been saying this for years. providers let casinos adjust rtp but never tell players. fake af

m8 i've bought over 1000 bonus rounds mostly in gates of olympus and my rtp is 33.79% counting. how are them getting away with this? they smart to have tons of streamers they collab with fake money. if you compare to nolimit city its night and day

no way casinos rig games LMFAOOO 2025 and people still think gambling is fair ngmi energy. you literally giving money to businesses designed to take it then cry when they take more efficiently

this explains so much... noticed pragmatic slots feeling dead lately. used to hit bonuses regular now nothing for hours. if they dropping rtp without notice thats straight fraud

i Swear to god in 5 years actively playing slots i cant remember when last time won anything on microgaming or netent games... pragmatic maybe 50-50 but now makes sense if casinos choosing lower rtps

very bad provider not to recomend! dont play you will loose

 

[hack3rcon]

checked videoslots terms of service. buried through pages they mention "game configurations may vary from provider specifications" which basically means they can lower rtp and its technically disclosed. scummy but legal gray area since most players never read terms

soooo when i lost on sweet bonanza last month it might have been rigged even worse than advertised? greedy bastards

This represents systematic deception in the gambling industry

Technical explanation:
- Providers like Pragmatic Play offer configurable RTP settings
- Casinos can select lower percentages without player notification
- Games show adjusted RTP in paytables but players rarely check
- No legal requirement for prominent RTP disclosure

Real impact on players:
- Standard Wolf Gold: 96.01% RTP means €96 returned per €100 wagered long-term
- VideoSlots version: 93.99% RTP means €94 returned per €100 wagered
- Extra €2 per €100 goes directly to casino profits

Investigation by CompleteCasinoList in 2020 documented this practice across multiple casinos. Igor Glukhikh filed formal complaint against Pragmatic Play in April 2025 citing similar issues.
Players should always verify actual RTP in game information panels.

scam!! rubbish 7 years playing occasionally because im mug and always think next time different. i even guess how low bonus will be. its controlled not to pay simple

 

[Tyrone]

FUCK still playin provider slots then gets surprised when casinos fuck them over??? this exactly why yall broke
make stupid decisions then blame everyone except yourselves for getting rekt

 

[Cyb3r]

tried asking videoslots support about this got copy paste response about "game configurations set by provider" which is total bs since pragmatic sets it higher on their site lol

 

[marshal]

just use crypto prediction markets instead of rigged slots... zk proof systems guarantee fair outcomes unlike this casino bullshit

obviosly dumb question but how exactly do i check rtp in games? where does it show the actual percentage

@BetKate load any slot game, look for information or paytable button (usually "i" symbol), scroll through pages until you find "Return to Player" percentage. Compare this with provider's official website listings.

lmao another day another way casinos find to steal from players. at least this time got caught red handed kek

 

[BTCat]

checked my transaction history vs rtp claims over past year. losing way more than expected variance even accounting for volatility. makes sense now

 

[SOLluff]

honestly what choice do we have? most casinos probably doing this and only few got caught. stick to providers that dont allow rtp adjustment but which ones are those?

Limited research available but generally avoid:
- Pragmatic Play (confirmed adjustable)
- NetEnt (offers casino-configurable RTP)
- Play'n GO (multiple RTP versions)

Reportedly more consistent:
- Nolimit City (fewer reports of manipulation)
- Push Gaming (single RTP versions)
- Some smaller providers with fixed mathematics

Always verify in-game information regardless of provider
