Community slots

[Jailor]

What do you think/know how the “community feature” pays ie it doesn’t like giving the community feature with multiple players yet I’m certain the feature would trigger a lot quicker with just one player,now if three people are playing then why doesn’t the feature drop on so often as in affect there is 3 x more money going in yet less seems to come out??

It's tricky to understand fully how it works, but you're right, the more players linked the harder it is to trigger. From what I can tell the community aspect is a separate pot that is only available if two or more players are active. A single player is just playing the base slot rather than the community. With more players it will need more money to give everyone a decent prize. Maybe the trick is to wait for loads of players to not get a community bonus, then just play two of them.

Surely there must be something about the individual machine still having to pay to an RTP though, rather than (potentially) transferring money from machine A to machine B (say)?

Then the community feature is tied to all active machines being 'ready' to pay a feature at the same time, which can easily take much longer if one of the games had recently paid out large wins. 

So in theory the other machines will pay more on the base game during that period of waiting for the recently paid out machine to take enough money to be ready for another feature.

And would be worse on games where the community guarantees a higher win (eg if Money Mad Martians has all pots on £100, so triggering community guarantees JP).

if you play a community on your own it can award the feature.it doesn't matter how many are being played it is the same frequency
