GameArt confessed to fraud! Stand with demo mode

Back in late January, one of the players on the Casinomeister forum expressed his fears that the demo mode of the Thunder Bird slot produced by GameArt gives out too large winnings. In half an hour of free play, $ 500 turned into $ 100,000 with stakes ranging from $ 10 to $ 40.

Since the game took place on the VideoSlots website, the casino immediately responded to the message, but replied that the RTP of the demo mode and the money mode is the same. The player indicated that he played in demo mode several times and almost always won large sums. This was due to the unusually frequent launch of the bonus game.

On the VideoSlots website, you can find the real payout percentage for all slots. Moreover, updates take place every day. The player noticed that on the operator's website, for the same Thunder Bird, the normal payout percentage was indicated. That is, in the game for real money the payouts were standard, but in the demo mode they were too high. It should be noted that the RTP of the demo mode can never be different from the RTP of the real mode. Otherwise, players will have false expectations.

From the very beginning, VideoSlots contacted the developer and received an official response that the demo mode was no different.

Development of events
After the first player expressed his assumptions, other users began to conduct similar experiments. Most drew similar conclusions. At the same time, the results were compared with the game for real money, and they differed significantly.

The new facts made VideoSlots link think about the need for a more thorough investigation. And what is the bottom line? GameArt admitted that in fact, the RTP of the free mode and the real money game are different. The developer's confession was announced on February 22 this year, about a month after the start of the proceedings. In the screenshot below, a message from VideoSlots, which translates as follows:

“We dealt with GameArt. They confirmed to us that the RTP of the demo mode is different from the RTP of the real money game. This is unacceptable for us and we made sure that GameArt has fixed this issue. We also check all of our game providers to make sure other developers don't use different RTPs in demo mode and when playing for real money. GameArt games will be launched again on our site when we finish testing. We will let you know if other providers have similar problems. This problem was with all the casinos that offered their games, not just Videoslots. "

MGA announced that it has nothing to do with GameArt
The developer's reputation dipped even further after a recent announcement from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).
