Microgaming Khatmandu Bonus Video Slot - weird behaviour!

[sripal32]

Guys,

I am trying new 'Khatmandu video slot machine' released by microgaming and noticed something really weird.

Whenever I get two 'Bell' symbols in the first reels (1,2,3,4), the next reel takes awful lot of time to stop. Initially I thought my connection must be bad, but then again this happens everytime.

Did anyone else notice this?

Cheers!

P.S: I am not suggesting that something is wrong, but it just doesn't seem to be right.

FYI: I was playing at Vegas Palms

It's a 'feature' of this slot. When you get two, it goes "oooooooh... will you get three!??!?!?" and does that super annoying speed up reel thing.

Drives me mad.

It is supposed to do it though.

I blame RTG... Oh, and the youth of today, they're responsible for everything

I always check "Quick Spin" anyway and it doesnt do it on this

I played Kathmandu a couple of times last night but wasn't doing well at all and never even got 2 Bell symbols, so i don't know. I did notice for every win, it is very slow in calculating your win. Sorta what Harveys does in the bonus round but at Kathmandu it's with EVERY win.

Since Slotster stated that the "oooooh . . . will i get three???!" thing is designed that way, it's probably a deliberate mindgame. It makes a big thing out of nothing to get you on tilt (i don't know whether there's a equivalent term in casinos for this poker behavior), become irrational, and start spinning like crazy to finally hit this big event that the machine is brainwashing you into thinking you keep getting so close to.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the patronising text that appears whenever you hit a win - hit two tens and it says "well done" or whatever. Hit more than your stake and it says "awesome win!" And the first thing I noticed is that the number symbols are lifted from Munchkins - which is why it looks like a 15 liner. Not a bad game imho despite this.

In autoplay it doesnt count the win - much better. Also, like Harveys, you can click the reels to skip the count

On the plus side it pays out on the scatters unlike Harveys

But I think that they should pay double like most other slots, hate that it just gives your bet back

Yeah true but i really meant on triggering the feature you're guaranteed something at least. I gues sthe "bet back" is all part of the variance - there are some quite neat big win combos in there which is probably right up my street. I love the slots with longer lean periods and biiiiig hits - suits my cashout strategy way better than lots of small nothings and the odd bit-more-than-nothing

I really need one of these!
