Micro will bleed ya dry from what I have heard
I disagree for the reasons I stated. However, I too, cannot say for sure.
But it just doesn’t make sense that they would step out of their way to make sure players get paid, and then turn around and gouge their licensees so hard as to put them out of biz.
examine what we know to be true.
they step in and pay players for casino Red which went out of biz, and then turn around and effectively are the cause for casino Blue to go under.
we know they did step in and pay players.
we don’t know about the latter.
All the while keeping the good name of Microgaming in good standing with the players. But who’s gonna want to buy into a franchise which the year before; showed a number of licensees that went under; and these are casinos which were around long enough that if anybody should have been able to weather the storm, it should have been them. (Cap Cooks as example – plenty of player base there to use as an email campaign to get players back in and playing).
if I were thinking about plunking down the price Microgaming gets: which is the highest, or close to it: I’d be thinking twice after seeing established casinos go under.
So where is the logic in keeping players happy (spending $) at casinos that went out of biz, while at the same time gouging the remaining casinos – essentially putting them out.
That sounds too much like self destructive behavior to me. And one thing I will not accuse MGS of being, is stupid in the big picture of things.
