Slot Games in general: Merkur games in online casinos pay worse than in gaming arcades!

So since the Netent games have gone so crappy, I had discovered Merkur for me and they ran the last few weeks also quite well...

For two days now the same as Netent, few free spins and if absolutely ridiculous wins...

Has anyone else made the experience at the moment or is that now with me just a streak of bad luck? I'm already clear that I ne always what can win..but wnen one has hundreds of spins, no FS gets and if then only so small amounts, I'm not used to Merkur...

Merkur has never worked for me - I always feel like I have to wait years for FS and then nothing comes of it...

merkur is really the biggest difference between Online Casinos and arcades.
In gaming arcades, the Merkur boxes are actually always something, and at online casinos I can also only confirm, hundreds of spins and no free spins in sight. And pay so ridiculous that you feel like in the wrong movie.

Well, so Merkur can eat absolutely nasty in the gambling house. I have had other experiences - especially with Merkur. Online, Merkur can also eat bad (high variance), but the chance of winning online is greater (in the long term and in terms of the mass of players).

Well, I can't say anything bad about Merkur online - that's where I made my biggest wins. But it's true - the phases where nothing comes are already heftigst. Is but with Microgamong no different. If you are looking for something where always bissel what goes then must de QuickFile or how the things are called ... the one where Matthias so on departure. Ah ne quickspin ... big Bad Wolf ... Phönix ... spinions and play the stuff.

You mean Quickspin games with most of these games you never get a green branch but they are well and entertaining made and you play on average much longer than on Novomatic or Merkur slots. But as I said, to win 5,000x stake with one spin is not possible with most slots from Quickspin.

Games like Supernova, The Three Musketeers can theoretically pay even more than Book of Ra or Magic Mirror and so there are also with these slots sometimes nasty eating times. I speak from my own experience. What I've already spent on The Three Musketeers without free spins or a higher win (oh my God!!).

For players who just want to be entertained, the games are great. Or just for high rollers like Matthias, who are phased in, these games are in the short term rikikoärmer, because there are not soo rough eating times and you play for a long time.

However, I can also confirm that. Offline you do not have such evil eating phases as online at Merkur. I played both variants for years and really have to say that offline goes more with Merkur than online. Something like 400 spins at Magic Mirror without free spins or halfway good profit I have never seen in the Spielo. Since you get at least at the Merkurs also faster free spins or good winnings. Of course, online the chance is higher that you get a massive picture, because you can also play higher stakes, but from my experience I can only confirm it as I said (unfortunately)

Yes, everyone has their own experiences. To be able to say with certainty whether online or offline is better, you would have to play a Merkur machine from the arcade and the same slot in a Merkur online casino 24/7/365 with 5 cents bet per spin and see where the least money was gambled away at the end of the year.

Due to the €80 maximum loss per hour in arcades, this calculation unfortunately only works with 5 cents, since this is the only way to get the same number of spins together. Otherwise, there are only 12 spins a 20 cents per minute in arcades, while online about 20 spins per minute are played.

Unfortunately, the payout ratio in gaming arcades is unknown, or the manufacturers are not legally bound to anything. But if we assume that the AQ in arcades is about 20% lower than in casinos and Online Casinos, then over such a long period of time this "race" should end as follows:

Assuming the slot game is Blazing Star, which has an AQ of 96.31% online (house edge = 3.69%) and has an estimated AQ of 76.31% in arcades (house edge = 23.69%)

game library = (0,05€ / 100% * 23,69% house advantage) * 20 spins * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days = 124.514,64€ losses

Casino / Online Casinos = (0,05€ / 100% * 3,69% house advantage) * 20 Spins * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days = 19.394,64€ losses

In online casinos, one would certainly book 19.394,64€ losses at the end of the year. Over that many spins, you would also reach the actual payout percentage, which means that the margin up or down should be relatively small.

In gambling houses, the AQ is unknown. This could be lower than assumed in the example but also a maximum of 10% higher than assumed. In the best-case scenario for the player, the long-term losses in gaming arcades would be as follows:

Spielothek (best-case) = (0,05€ / 100% * 13,69% house advantage) * 20 spins * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days = 71.954,64€ losses

In casinos you would lose between 72.000€ (best-case) and 124.000€ or even more at the end of the year, while in any online casino you would "only" lose 19.394,64€.

Unfortunately, no one will be able to perform this test in practice - unless they have about 150,000€ of capital to burn, too much time and nerves of steel.

These are just personal experiences. Of course, in the short term you can have more luck in gambling houses. But in the very long run and calculated on the mass of players, Merkur games in online casinos are between 3.5 and 6.5 times cheaper than in gaming arcades. In the short term can also be, if you play 50x a year two hours online and 50x two hours offline. From these personal experiences, unfortunately, no generally valid statements can be made about personal winning patterns.

It also depends on the gaming behavior. If you only play for 5 cents in gaming arcades, but regularly play for €2 in online casinos and casinos, then casinos and online casinos are naturally more expensive than gaming arcades.
