southern....still didn't answer my question really did ya? I know a lot about gambling. I play lotteries. I go to Vegas multiple times per year. I also gamble online as well. I know my odds, I know the entertainment vs reality of winning bit. BUT, even when I play roulette, keno or lotteries, it's fair. I know the rules, I know the odds, etc. I don't expect to win the lottery, but I still choose to play, just to have that little chance and the best part is, even if I win the big one one day, guess what? The lottery corp wins as well seeing as they take their share! Same goes for Vegas. Roulette's odds are not very good at all. In any given night, a few people will get lucky and win a bunch of money. But for every one of these winners, there are hundreds of losers! Same goes for slot machines. I believe the payout ratio for slots in Vegas is just north of 90%? This means that 90% of the money a machine take in is eventually given back to the players. People find this hard to understand as they seem to lose a lot more than 10% of the time, but eventually a big winner on said machine pulls that machine back to the 90/10 ratio. The casino's are making more than enough at 7-10% to the point they're happy giving that 90+ back! Sorry, i'm getting off track here. Back to the "progressive roulette / Super Keno" or whatever you prefer to call it. It is so crooked in the way they miscount to deceive you that it would be illegal in any casino in a regulated world. There's a reason a game this crooked isn't played in Vegas!
It still amazes me that people, not just you, have this "oh, you're just bitter you lost to the casino" or "you're a moron for gambling and you prob don't complain when you win" sort of attitude. I encourage any of those people, yourself included, to read more, research more, etc on this game. That video of "Razzle Dazzle" that someone (Frank12 I believe?) posted is spot on. There's countless other videos and written explanations on how it works, or how it works for the "house" anyway. Don't be so stubborn and write people off as sore losers if you don't understand the crooked way this game works.
Again, i'm far from a sore loser and i'm not bitter whatsoever. In fact, if I were to run into this game i'd actually give it a go and the minute I saw them miscount in my favour, i'd make a point to point it out or i'd insist on counting my own rolls myself. I'm pretty certain anyone who does this would set off alarm bells and they'd likely somehow end the game pretty quick or allow you to continue without the "miscounted rolls", knowing that you'd bail pretty quickly without the quick start they give to you through deceit. On that note, if anyone has any stories of doing just that, as in, calling them on their BS, i'd love to hear it. I promise you, i'll do it if I ever find myself back in a position to do so!
