I remember hitting a 2000x in demo mode after just 10 spins lol.
Wow 10x spins get 2000x, and
the results will be very different after players change to the real mode and the results of the demo mode should not be used as a reference for players to play with real money because they think they will get the same results, demo mode is just for fun or learning the games or when you feel bored and want to play but are in a condition that can't make a deposit
I strongly disagree with you here. Demo mode is programmed exactly the same way the the mode with real money is. It is illegal to do it differently, and reputable slot providers will never do such things.
I like to play in demo mode myself, and from my experience I wouldn't say I'm getting bigger wins in demo mode than in real one.
The difference is that when you are gambling with real money you will gamble differently, that’s why they are different. Yes, the game could be programmed the same, but when you are wagering 10k fake dollars versus when you wager even 100 bucks in real money, the way you gamble will be different.
When you are doing it with fake money, you can put all of that 10k into 99x chance to win and get a million, because you don't care if you lose, could you do that with real money? It would be gone in a second if you do that and not many people can afford that. Which means the demo shouldn't be considered anything like real, not because of software, but because of mindset.
