InactiveIT seems to me that almost all the “play mode” games are rigged to reflect a winning session.
I recently was testing a casino in play mode and :
– and the craps table threw 10’s on the first 3 straight as I had a bet on 10s
– that’s 3/36 * 3/36 * 3/36 = about 1 in 1692 chanceThen testing roulette we found that 32Red won twice within two spins.

I have absolutely no doubt that both would NOT have occured in a truely random game where money was at stake.

InactiveMy personal; opinion is that with Wagerlogic, Microgaming, Wagerworks and probably Playtech that fun mode replicates real mode. Reason I say that is that I don’t think these software providers would be prepared to risk their reputation by doing it any other way.
However, with RTG, operators can change the payouts within certain boundaries but I would imagine fun mode is set to the uppermost boundary – a guess.
There was some outcry recently when it was found that one software supplier had different payouts on fun mode and in real play. Enough of an outcry to effectively rogue them in many people’s minds. I can’t imagine MG and Wagerlogic differing them personally, but who knows. MG in particular seem very reluctant to offer information to the public domain for whatever reason.
I think I’ll find out at ICE. Or try!

Most players don’t count the spins made in fun mode but if they did they’d see the same back to back hits and dry spells seen in real money play. I’ve often built it up to $20k, $30k in demo mode in a short time and also watched it take it all back a few times. (betting max of course)
You can easily check it, just remember the amount your play money bankroll started at and see where a $100 of it will take you making the same bets as if it was real money play.

InactiveAs far as I know it’s usually the same.
One exception is Jackpotjoy, which gives away free prizes to fun players and wants to give away a lot of them. It’s an entirely different concept for free play there, much like Pogo, a place for people to meet and chat and maybe win something. It’s quite obvious, too.
Other than that I think they are all the same…
