Thought I had it figured out!

So for quite a while I would notice that if I got two sword symbols and a cat, I was going to get the big award. The cat would spin to the third symbol every time for the longest time. So I always had that little giddy anticipation. But as of recently, the last day or two, it hasn't done it but maybe once or twice. Now it will land on two sword symbols and the cat and there I am giddy with anticipation again, and it lands on a spade or something. Lol. So long, giddy anticipation.

Same here. I have wondered if there’s a problem with the game itself.  Earlier today, I had 2 out of 3 swords land on various different reels 61 times in a row and NEVER hit the bonus.  I started counting them just to see how many times the game would entice a player to make them think it was going to land on the bonus. I’m sure it would’ve been more than 61 but I ran out of money on that 61st spin.  Tactics like using such blatant player enticement makes me not fully trust a casino because it’s essentially a deceptive mechanism to give false hope to players. Especially when the RTP seems to be non existent overall. They don’t allow players use deceptive techniques to win so they shouldn’t either.

I am now at 112 times that 2/3 swords have landed on the reels without hitting and bonus spins.  I don’t care how much a place can claim to prove fairness but enticing players at this level is absurd. Oh well. Lesson learned. I’ll move along and spend my gambling budget somewhere that doesn’t resort to such manipulative tactics.

I've hit swords like 5 times in 20 before. Just depends on your bank, bet and currency.
