After a technical fault that made betting at an online casino into a 100% safe bet has been fixed, Swedish gamblers however, who found this loop-hole were less than pleased. The problem with the system, which would affect a recently opened game on the “Mr Green” onlino casino gambling site, lasted between Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning before management discovered the problem.
Approximately 200 players had thought that it was their lucky day when the “House of Fun” game made fun of the old adage that the house always wins. Indeed, gamers discovered that they could play again and again without any funds coming from their online wallets.
“What happened is that people could spend money without it being withdrawn from their account. It was just like being at an automatic teller machine,” Mikael Pawlo the web-casino’s managing director was quoted as saying.
Unluckily for the gamblers who thought that they had hit the bigtime, the casino didn’t let them keep the winnings and their many accounts have been reset.
“We are happy when our players win, that is what makes us attractive. But in this situation, it was a bit much,” said Mikael Pawlo. He added that, “Those technical faults are exceptional, but happen sometimes with new games”.
The Mr Green website was launched in 2008 and attracts 150,000 gamers from Finland, Austria, Sweden and the UK.
