9. GAME PLAY
9.1 What are my chances of winning?
The payouts of our games vary. All games results are determined by Rival's cryptographically secure random number generator which has been independently tested and confirmed to provide suitably random sequences of numbers. Independent auditors audit payouts from time to time. Depending on the game, the system may use a single deck or multiple decks that are shuffled before every wager.
9.2 What happens if I lose my connection to the gaming server?
If the gaming server received the bet it will be recorded and the result will be displayed after your Internet connection comes back. If the gaming server does not receive the bet you will either see the result of your previous bet or you will be asked to complete the unfinished bet.
9.3 Why do the slot wheels just keep spinning and don't stop?
This is caused by poor Internet performance. The results from the server are not reaching your computer so the slot wheels just keep spinning because they have not received the message telling them when and where to stop. If you close the program and run it again you will be refreshed to the last known position.
9.4 Why does the Roulette ball just keep spinning and doesn't stop?
This is caused by poor Internet performance. The results from the server are not reaching your computer, so the roulette ball just keeps spinning because they have not received the message telling them when and where to stop. If you close and run the program again, you will be refreshed to the last known position.
9.5 Why do the cards not flip over during a hand?
This is caused by a bad or slow Internet connection. The gaming server will hold the wager until it can resolve the bet.
9.6 How can I view exactly what cards have been dealt?
You may view your wagering history in the Cashier. Click "My Details" and "Wager History". Your complete wagering history is available right back to the day you signed up.
