    Does anyone play the games on paddypower.com? I played deal or no deal a few times, winning e50 twice and a tenner or more a couple more times. But lately i haven't won a penny.

    Do you think we can trust these games? How random are they?

    They are not random at all mate. Don't go near.

    They are programmed to give out a certain % of what they take in.

    No worse than slot machines really!

    Paddy Power use random number generators for their games. The are regulated by The Alderney Gambling Control Commission ("AGCC").

    From the deal or no deal rules itself, ''The game is a game involving fixed odds and you are just as likely to win in one match as you are in any other. Each game is generated in isolation. Therefore if you have won money on the last five games there is nothing to say you will be less likely to win on the next game just because you are on a winning streak.''

    So, they are as fair as casinos, if that helps.

    played the blackjack mini game on pp a few times. Put in 20 and won around 80 about 3 times but recently i dunno if its just my willingness to keep playing and not leave when i'm up which normally i'm very good at but the results have worsened. Say I'm still a reasonable bit up on it though...

    You have no edge in these games, these games are designed with you losing your money, its a fact(well I heard it somewhere) the more you play, the more you increase your chances of losing. There crap, stay away.

    I've only ever played when they have given me a free bet in it. Usually just a fiver which i would use on blackjack in just 1 euro stakes. The twice i've played it i got it up over a tenner and just used it in the sports book. I'm not into gambling in casinos so no need to do it online.

    Similiar position myself

    Yea me to with the blackjack. got up over a tenner but then the dealer would just get blackjack or 21/20 and thats that. its as if they let you win a few and then take you down.
    You could lose a lot of money very fast so I tend to stay away. Well dodgey!

    I play the Roulette a bit on the Games section and I have to agree with the OP.
    You wouldnt believe some of the things Ive seen.
    For Example - 14 reds in a row, 12 odds in a row etc.
    If you compare that to say the bonus number in the lotto and see how often 8 odd or even numbers in a row appear as the bonus - unheard of.
    Yet I regularly come even more peculiar trends in the Roulette.
    Definitely dodgy

    What? I'm not sure you know what you're talking about.

    Think about it, the lotto REMOVES numbers. How could they possibly be the same odds.

    Lads i love Blackjack its the only game i play in a casino but i would never ever play it online, i dont believe in any of these online games to be honest.

    Yeah i agree and before people say they cant be dodgy just think of the banks no one thought they were dodgy either or the various other so called well regulated financial services. If these can be dodgy when there in control of billions well then.

    i joined the paddypower online and started playing the skill games pyramid solitaire/panic solitaire etc as they become very addictive..strange thing is i started only playing for fun option and thought to myself im ok on them and won more times than lost BUT of course as soon as i played for real(cash) couldnt win a thing and it seems the games become harder......

    They are totally random.
    The aren't programmed to take a certain amount, they are controlled via the odds. Just like regularly roulette etc, roulette is the perfect casio game. A true and fair wheel is unbeatable, A random number generator (RNG) is 100% fair, there is no need for them to change anything.

    They aren't doing anything underhanded, the chances of winning are available to the public, they are regulated.

    lol, I doubt you've ever seen a real roulette wheel more than once. Lots in a row isn't unheard of.
    Roulette might get through 100+ spins an hour, thats a years worth of lotto.
    Sample size mean anything to you.

    You'll get 10 in a row every 1000 hands or so. In 500 hands if you count colour as well as odd or even. Variance is a bitch, but you get the point.

    When you have two options, streaks are regular.


    At the end of the day, these games are unbeatable. They are perfect, pure roulette etc. The DoND may have worse odds, but they aren't fixed, no more so than live roulette or craps etc

    PP gave me a 5 euro free bet for the games section today. So I put it into Deal or No Deal. Played 6 or 7 games and won marginally on 6 outta 7. So ended up with 6.51.

    So I like them :D

    I have played the pp onlne games quite a bit especially roulette and i too have seen some really weird sequences. Its funny though when I play for fun I can reguarly turn the £1000 they give you into £ 3000 or £ 4000 but can rarely win when played for real so if as is said its supposed to be purely random number generating then I dont believe that. So I use the live casino option within PP with real dealers and get much better results but im on a pretty bad streak the last couple of weeks . :o
