Table Games or Video BlackJack - VS Slots

I've come to the realization that online slot play is only getting worse as far as any kind of substantial winnings.  The more I play (especially RTG), the more inconsistencies I see in the reels as far as where the symbols fall.  When you play certain games enough, you just KNOW when the trigger symbol is supposed to hit...at least I do.  Lately I've seen a great deal of very suspicious activity on many of the regular slots I play in that the trigger symbols are not landing where the "normally" should, if this makes sense.  The odds are never in our favor anyway but they are getting worse in my opinion.  I don't usually play video poker or table games online but I do in the land based casinos.  I was wondering, for those of you who do play these games online more frequently than slots, are you winning anything?  I'm considering switching over to those types of games and leaving the slots behind awhile because I am getting no enjoyment from losing all the time!  The sizable wins are far and few between these days (just look at how infrequent the screenshots are lately from many of us) and I think there are some real unfair things going on but we are unable to do anything about it except complain...or not play!

Anyhow...just wanted some opinions/experiences from those that regularly play video poker and/or table games.  I am not a fan of blackjack but like 3 card poker and Let it Ride in the LB casinos.  In play mode today, I sure didn't see a whole heckuva lot of winning hands coming my way!

Thanks friends.  

Hey Hymacaw,

I used to play Let It Ride on William Hill Casino (many years ago) and I used to do quite well.  I would pay the extra £1 for the bonus and I remember hitting a full house which paid handsomely.  I did play again some time later and never hit a thing.  I then tried it in fun mode and again, never hit a thing.  I've never played it since.

I don't have recent "knowledge" of the video poker etc so I can't really comment on that.  I have seen a few members commenting on the blackjack though - they were bad experiences.

Hymacaw, u r absolutely right.  All of a sudden when all the slots go dead the 3rd bonus scatter disappears.  Like u I know the reel rotation after I get 2 bonus scatters.  The reels will short spin or long spin to avoid the 3rd one giving u a bonus even though time wise when it goes past the 1st time it should stop on the bonus.  Heck, I dont know what I typed makes any sense.

Both of you Hymacaw and gunnylab make sense to me... I see this too and I know I am not winning like before on slots. I see actual slowing down or speeding up of reels then no 3rd bonus symbol over and over again.

I don't play a lot of video poker but when I do I play 100 hands at one cent per hand and it is either pretty darn good or I can't get a pair of anything.

I do play many of the table games a lot and you can lose your bankroll pretty quick at these while you wait for that one big one that gives you $25 or more. I see with these also that I can start a game and win on a fair share of hands up to about 5 or 6 hands and then can't do a thing after that... and down I go.
