Topic: Draftking fined $19k for a player's $0 win after 20,000 spins on a slot game - page 2. (Read 888 times)

This is a clear case of rigged casino because it cannot be a mere coincidence. Some may argue that such is possible but considering the number of spin, a casino that did not produce a single win after a couple of tens of spin or hundreds of spin is most likely rigged. This is why I prefer povably fair casinos such as Rollbit where something like this is not possible. It is good that they were fined so that people will be warned, just that the fine is too small compared to what people would have lost to them.

A slot player in Connecticut was said to have decided to play a new slot game that appeared on Draftking casino late August (Last month), but how ever, it was an really ugly experience after the player was said to have clicked the spin button for several hundreds of times and didn't get any winning, soon enough, hundreds of spins turned into thousands of spins, yet no winning.

According to the news, 522 other players from Connecticut also played the same game and did not get any winning after several spins, the issue was reported to regulators, meanwhile draftking had already carried out their own investigations and discovered that a bug in the game code set the game odd to zero, and for this reason, no one can win, Draftking then refunded all the players who had played the game the money they spent for bets but without telling the players what actually was the cause of the lack of winning, the game was taken down, bug fixed and then was relaunched.

Meanwhile after Draftking has refunded player who were affected a total of $23,909, the state gamming regulators slammed a fine of $19,000 to Draftking and another $3,500 to the game provider.

Meanwhile my personal question is, are slot games really provably fair? If odds can be set to zero, and no one be able to win, is it not possible that some casinos might be using this means or method to cheat slot players off their hard earned money?

Without a doubt it is possible for this to happen, however if we are talking about a regulated casino which engaged in such an illegal practice, you can be sure the fine they will have to pay will be many times higher and they will lose all their reputation with that single scandal, so many casinos prefer to not take that route as whatever additional profits they may get this way are nothing compared to the money they will lose once such decision becomes known.

I just read the story and I loved it, oh, nice, I love the decision of Draftking to refund the players and also the decision of the regulator to fine them $19,000 and the game provider $3,500. There is no room for excuse if you are true to your service and the casino should have tested it over and over again to fix bugs before allowing any customer to gamble.

In that case im just wondering if that's a full spin of zero wins?, we know how does the slot games still gives a small amount of wins with the combination and then makes a dead spin agad, but this 20k spins hit nothing I guess there's some changes with their game itself because most of the slot games have a small amount of percentage at least, in this part wondering if they are giving back those losses or makes some compensation at least to the players still at the end of the day its gambling edge.

Very well said and I completely agree with you, casinos; generally speaking now, are very quick to discover and fix bugs in their system or games, which causes the gamblers to hit some abnormal winnings, and some times, they even proceed to penalizing the gamblers accusing them of exploiting the bud to their(the players) advantage.

But then and unfortunately, this same casinos do not exhibit the same energy in discovering and fixing errors or bugs that affect the players inability to win, I can yoj categorically clear that the issue with Draftking wouldnt have been solved, the players maybe would have continued playing and losing, believing they are just unlucky, if some players did not discover/noticed and reported the matter to the authorities which prompted the casino as well to quickly investigate and fix the bug, as well as rushed to pay back players who were affect, all in a bid to avoid being fined perhaps, but I believe the authorities still went ahead to fine them as a way to warn them and also serve as a warning to other casinos as well.

It seems like the general standard is that their system doesn't raise alarms if the outcome favors the casino; it only becomes a concern if gamblers start winning big money, as that would impact the casino's bankroll. If no one complains, the casino can continue making easy money. They already have the edge, yet they may still profit from bugs. However, sooner or later, someone will complain, especially when the system becomes abnormal, as mentioned with 20k spins and no winner.

This is clearly an error in the casino's system, and they have been fined for it. I think that brings some justice for their mistakes, and we can expect it won't happen again, as such errors are too costly for them.

Casino doesn’t have control on slot games code. There’s only few slot provider that allows modifications for the slot game RTP but the rest of the provider doesn’t give that option which means even scam casino can’t do anything about it.

Scam casino just pull the scam trick through the balance on the casino itself by restricting the withdrawal. 3rd party slot games in general doesn’t influenced by the casino itself since they are just being added on casino games while maintaining their code as close.

        -      Zero (0) wins out of 20,000 spins? Literally speaking very well on the part of a gambler player, not given the opportunity to win even once in the games.

Given the fact that there are bugs, why not immediately see the gamblers who had previously dropped it on the draftking platform?
But on the other side, it was good that the fund lost to their gambling platform was returned, and that would be a lesson to them, and the gamblers just gamble for fun and not deposit a huge amount.
