For those of you that play the slots game: Have you noticed that recently (as compared to several months back or even last year), the odds seem worse? I stopped playing for a while and have recently been testing the waters again. In my recent experiences, it seems I win less prizes (even the small ones) and it takes way longer to fill the gem bar at the top plus the resulting winnings are less than before.

Today I decided to see exactly how long it took to fill the bonus bar game at the top and what my winnings were at 2 yocash spins. It took 436 spins to get the 10 gems necessary to fill the bar and play the bonus game. Worse even, I 'won' a whopping 52 yocash from the bonus game. Yes, I did win some yocash and some prizes along the way, but not like before. Overall, I'm down quite a bit of yocash and did lock myself out for a bit. Just curious if others are having the same experience.

DISCLAIMER: - I understand how gambling works. I am not looking for sympathy or a lecture. I am simply asking if people who chose to play the slots game have had similar experiences or if it seems the same as always to them.

yes bonus bar takes soooo long to fill now and u spin like 100 timesor more for the last one ,,,
also i am really so sick they give lousy amount of yc(like 4yc -5yc---it should be like 35yc 40yc lowest ) when betting 10yc in bonus game ,then u get the lowest amount for multiplier ofc-this happening for a few months long drool:

I don't go to the Casino but I have heard a few people say the same thing. Thats why everything in the AH is also so crazy priced. people have to spend so much more for the big prizes. The gamblers lose even more because the majority of people won't pay those crazy prices. Not sure what BVG changed but it's not good.

It used to be a brand new gown came out and you would see it in the AH average cost say 10M now they are harder to win and cost so much we see average cost 15M plus. It's getting way to expensive to play and I notice more and more of my buddy list not logging in for weeks now. I had one buddy who knew I did the wish group and she would always give me first chance to buy at a decent price. She hasn't been on in weeks. Then the other day she showed up to see what was out for Christmas but said she would likely not be back.

Absolutely! I too was wondering if anyone noticed how much longer it takes to get to the bonus round. You would get to the bonus round by the first prize marker, now you're lucky if you get the bonus by the second prize marker ;( and I'm lucky if I get 30- 40 YC...Don't get me wrong there are the rare times I do get a good bonus, but less and less these days and I wouldn't mind If I got the prizes for the money spent.
Yes I do know it's gambling, but I like the slots game and like playing, but it used to be more fun and loved winning the prizes, but the prizes are also very hard to come by. Would be nice if it was more fair like it used to be.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed <3

Thanks for your input barbie, BsZ Tee and Cj PIC. While it's nice to know I'm not the only one who noticed the change, it is frustrating. I used enjoy playing the slots and the loses were acceptable in my book for the prizes I got. Now the few times I've played lately it's neither fun nor worth it Just frustrating.

I rarely play anymore, but I have tried lately because I really want to win a Christmas dress (which I believe is only available with a gold jackpot -- I NEVER win those). I only play to the first chest as I just can't afford to spend much right now. I win very small yc amounts and do not win any jackpots, not even bronze -- which I used to occasionally get. I see there are still Halloween / fall items in the scrolling prizes below, which I don't care to "win." So I am not very enthused with my chances.

I have definitely noticed the terrible odds of winning jackpots, and when I do win jackpots, I keep getting the same items. My last 3 jackpots were all silver, and literally got the same items all 3 times. Takes forever to get the 10th diamond for bonus game, and then win 20-30yc. The bonus game where you pick the gems, doesn’t pay out like it did just a couple months ago. Free spins are just there so we think we are getting something for our money, but rarely pay more than the initial yc. I like playing slots, and don’t mind losing some yc if I get some nice items, but that’s not how BVG does things. I lose thousands in yc, get the common items and leave the casino angry. My guess is BVG is desperate for money since they’ve chased away or alienated their paying players.

Whenever I’m tempted to spend money on a tiered deal, I go to the casino first, and I no longer want to give BVG my money! The folks at BVG are super short sighted, and think ripping players off in the casino will get them to spend more money, but for me it’s totally opposite.

I dipped in last week; I agree.

Everytime I drop in .. I find the odds more impossible and wonder how much people are spending to be winning the items they are — and that someone should talk with them, because that is way to much - even if it’s just; yah ethics and morals

I see a lot in the forums & I never post but I had to respond on this! The odds just keep getting worse& worse. Its like they tighten it a little more every week! There is a day & night difference to what it used to be! I keep hoping people will complain and they will decide to make it fair. The wins keep getting further and further apart and filling up for the diamonds bonus takes forever now! A friend of mine feels the same exact way! Last Christmas was great. This Christmas -horrible Thank You for posting about this!!!

Thank you for chiming in JulieHootieScraps, Eric, Beatrice and KimPossible.

When I posted this, I wondered if I would find that I was just having crappy luck. The answer seems to be something did change on BVGs end. For me, this unfortunately means staying away from the slots, a feature I did enjoy at times. It is no longer worth the amount of yocash lost and the time spent

The value equation for every player is different. For me, there is zero value in paying any amount for chances at anything - no matter how much I want it. The few times I have tried gambling anywhere, have left me disgusted and frustrated (even when I've won). That's not why I play Yo. There is no "payoff" that would offset those feelings.

BVG probably tinkers with the payouts in their gambling toys all the time. Testing to see just how far they can push it before people stop trying. You've found your limit, and I'm sorry BVG pushed you that far. It's not right. BVG abuses their customers constantly via the gambling process. Some players will always tolerate gambling because they either can't or won't help themselves. Greed and desire are powerful motivators, and BVG has figured out that they result in people over paying for chances at stuff.

I truly wish everyone would just stop all the gambling no matter what BVG throws at us. It's the only way BVG will stop doing it. They are just as addicted to it as the player base. I'm glad it keeps the game open, but I hate how it negatively affects the overall player experience.

I feel like it's a rip off. I have played a lot and lost so much yocash it's not even funny. Guess I'll just pass from now on. IT's dingle a carrot and not give a good prize. Fed up myself.
