Sky Vegas - Football Frenzy

[catapultaudio]

Football Frenzy - possibly exclusive to Sky Vegas as I've never seen it elsewhere.

Anybody tried this game before? I often receive a free game from the daily "Prize Machine" promotion and found it quite laughable how it basically never returns a win other than 10p - your stake - on very rare occasions. Today I noticed the "Free Play" option when redeeming my free round so figured I'd take a look after wasting a few seconds on the freebie.

Can you believe this.... first eight rounds in a row, all winners! Better still, only one of them was for 10p - the others were all 20p/50p or 30p/60p as I scored the "Free Kick" feature twice which effectively gives you two balls, which both won, on both occasions...?!? Unbelievable! Best of all, the 8th round I hit the "Golden Goal" pocket in the centre of the screen and saw that feature for the first time ever. I actually had it twice in the 20 or so total rounds I played, both times the ball went right-centre for a 70p return. The maximum possible in both cases was £2.00 or 20x, I assume the values are randomly selected and can go up to the theoretical maximum of 2500x sometimes. 

Am I right in saying game providers are legally required to ensure the "free play" mode has the same odds as the real game these days? I'm sure that was a rule that came in with the launch of the UKGC a few years back, and I'm real sure it isn't being honoured in this case. I've had at least say, 30-50 games on this "scratchcard" over the past 18 months and have never seen more than 10p awarded, yet my first eight games in free play all return 20p or more, and out of 20 games played back to back I only lose six times?? Come on, thats a "mathematically unlikely" set of results if I ever saw one, is it not?!

I suspect nobody here will have much experience with the game, afterall these "Virtual Scratchcards" are sucker bets without a doubt - 90% RTP?! Horrible!

Is this worth talking to the casino about? The game is made by "CORE Gaming" apparently, so i guess it's possible they are not aware. I'd love to see some published results though, I know Videoslots provide those for every one of their games  but is that a UKGC requirement or just something they choose to do? Anybody know?

If something seems too good to be true, it probably is. There is no way that an online scratchcard game would give 8 winners in a row that is soooooo unlikely. Unless there is some sort of glitch with their RNG but in most likely it is just giving wins free play to tempt you into playing for real money.

Absolutely! But not seeing a win over 7x stake in 20 tries too.....??? You have to wonder what the logic behind that algorithm is ...!
