I have a hard time believing that Microgaming BJ is rigged. Yes, I've seen many "miracle" hands by the dealer, but I've gotten an awful lot of them as well. Just this morning, I drew to 3 stiff hands in a row, and got 20, 21, 20 with 2 wins and a push (on one of the 20's). As to why I don't think play is rigged, I recently made my first deposit to a Microgaming casino. I quickly doubled the deposit, became a retard and lost all but 25 cents. I put the 25 cents in one of the slots and won a big 3.50 cents. I went to craps, put a dollar on 6 and 8...and 50+ rolls of the dice later WITHOUT A SEVEN I was almost even again. I am now ahead of my deposit again, and betting more sanely. If I was truely sane, I'd just cash out, but that is neither here nor there. Now, I guess if their software was crooked and they were exceptionally clever, they would engineer "comebacks" like this to maybe try to get good press like this, but I doubt it. They don't need too...they can count on the normal house edge of the games, and many player's tendencies to out bet their bankroll to make a profit. I guess some outfits do have crooked software, but I don't think Microgaming is on the list.
Heck, I've lost 10+ hands in a row at land based casinos, and I've seen particularly evil craps tables eat my bankroll in under 10 minutes. Not seeing anything different online.
But, I could be wrong...and if evidence is found that they are crooked, hey, I'll be the first to jump on the anti-Microgaming bandwagon. I just think they stand to lose more than could possibly earn by producing crooked software.
