Bogus Promotion Blunder Con

Good day my loyal subscribers and followers. Well, it has been so long sins I had a WOW! or a WHAT THE? moment. I hope this will be of help to somebody. We are reviewing Goldrush Mall@reds. One of my favourite pass times is gambling. If the odds are fair. Some of my fellow gamers and Goldrush customers received a sms from Goldrush Mall@reds on the 3rd of November. That goes as follows...

"Hi Johan Pogenpoel, we miss you! As our valued customer kindly collect your R150 FREEPLAY from Goldrush Mall@Reds valid Sat 4th-Tue 7th Nov. We looking forward to seeing you! Winners know when to stop, NRGP ***, No U18, Reply Stop to optout ". Immediately I started planning. So a second sms followed a few minutes later. "Hi Same name as sms 1,we miss you! As our valued customer kindly collect your R1000 FREEPLAY from Goldrush Mall@Reds valid Sat 4th-Tue 7th Nov. We looking forward to seeing you! Winners know when to stop, NRGP ***, No U18, Reply Stop to optout " Now they had me sitting upright in my favourite chair. I saw an opening to finance. Being unemployed and living in my car. My car, that I was in an accident with, about two weeks prior. An accident caused by an individual that I gave over to The Highest Authority. Who disappeared into thin air and knew that I do not have the money to fix it. Fix it within the 7 days that the local friendly S.A.P.S gave me to remove it. This opportunity is like it is Devine intervention. Just like the previous times He saved my hide. Usually such occasions present themselves but has to be earned. So the same day I leave at about 21h00 to make sure that I get to Goldrush Mall@reds before midnight. Walked would be around three hours. Got there a bit early and started playing with my only money. Sure enough, just past midnight. R150 appears on one of my two player's cards. Money gone by 2am. Enquiring about the second sms, I was told by the cashier that it would appear later in the day. They will open again at 9am. Walking back home, took 2.5 hours. So my lust for gambling was cooled a bit and I only returned to Goldrush Mall@reds on the 5th of November at 19h00. Walking a great distance, again. On arrival I learned that I was not the only one. After waiting for the manager for an hour, got news that the second sms was a mistake. Negotiations with the manager turned up R300 of the promotional R1000. Then Unrealized that the casino is unusually full for a Sunday night. Day two of said four day promotion, customers are lining up to redeem the R1000 as promissed. Only to receive a small part of promotion moneys. Signed by the customer of course. LOL. But what the customers is unaware of is the fact that nothing will be won by the card it was loaded on. I started playing with the R300 allocated to me, and nothing. Playing minimum bet on the lowest denomination game, which is 2c. Nothing, not even a win bigger than the amount tendered for each spin. At the R80 left mark I requested a payout. Payout granted, but my second card was requested by the cashier, to check something. Both cards returned to me. I loaded said R80 on second card and went down to R33 with no win above the betting amount. Another 15 min went by and I was down to R14 with not even winning back the bet amount tendered. Woohoo down to R8 and I won. I won double the bet amount. Now I was back up to R9. Down to R7 after another few bets and I won again, again double the bet amount. And another double the bet winning three spins later. Twelve spins and a double win again. At this time I was down to R6 with my winnings included. Woohoo a big win on R4, a whole R2. Maybe this is the start of a turn around. Six spins later and another double my bet win. a Little calculation will give you the loss statistic, if you are into gambling. The biggest win of the night of eight times my bet amount. That brings me back up to R7. Remember we started off with R300 instead of R1000 and rigged cards so no losses would occur as a result of a blunder. With R1 left after another eleven spins with no bigger win than 0.25 bet amount, a win of double again. Back up to R2. Down to R0-66, a R2-10 win. And right down to R0-26c. All done playing the blunder promotion that took up two days of my time. Time spent inside casino was about two hours of which halve was waiting for the manager. In an hour R300 was consumed by various machines on minimum bet, on a R0-02c denomination machine. With R0-26c I am headed home on foot to Lyttelton again. I found myself really tired and disappointed. Was kind of hopefull to win enough to at least get my car fixed. Unfortunately no such luck. But for the critics a bone t chew. Very few people are aware of the algorithm that is used to create the software that defines one's luck with electronic gambling interfaces. Many factors are built in as variable values. For example. Betting amount as a persentage determined between minimum bet and maximum bet. The sound volume of the specific winning game. I feel the need to explain, for fact's sake. The more you bet per spin, the higher the win propability and you become eligible for higher jackpots. On the second point, Louder sirens, bells and music of a win, attracts more attention. Thus it is a better adverti*****t than the silent game. There is a great number of these variants, even your state of mind plays a roll. No it is most definitely not dumb luck. Remember! a random person is also a variant. Even the law enforced on gambling establishments is variants built into the algorithm. Night two of four went by with very little noise, must have been a quiet crowd. All factors reconsidered, definite 1 Star. Let's see how many other Goldrush Mall@reds customers invested money of they're own into a bogus promotion. Good luck Goldrush.
