Which slot game's bonus round do you anticipate the most?

[Slotster!]

Isis probably... Only because I NEVER GET IT!!!!!!!! Ok, never is a bit steep - but not often. It just doesn't happen for me. At least with Ladies Nite etc, I know it's coming in eventually - usually within the first fifty spins (excepting the nightmare dry spells)...

Weirdly, as it's been mentioned on the winner screenshots thread today already, I really like 'Lucky Lady' at the Crypto's. Had an amazing £7000 run on it ages ago, and been a favourite ever since. Perversely, I hit £8000 in one go on a £20 bet at 'Treasures of Isis', and can't stand the thing...

Ooh - I've just realised which one it is!

Millionaires Club!!! Definitely. Come on three million quid... Come to daddy!

Right now I would say Avalon and Katmandu because I have been hitting pretty good on their bonus rounds .

I seem to remember the first version of the viper software actually had the reel strips you could look at one at a time, if memory serves there were alot more than 30 or 40 symbols per reel. I tried to find them the other night but no luck. They don't really use reel strips so I'm not sure noting the 15 symbols that show up each spin would be accurate.

It is true that there really isn't any way to completely confirm what the full virtual reels look like, but the method I used seems to be good and I'd say it is mostly accurate. I kept a spreadsheet with a different sheet for each of the 5 reels, and noted the outcome of the top, middle and bottom symbols. Then, once I have accumulated enough combinations that I stopped seeing new ones, the logic puzzle begins. Most of them are easy - you match the top & middle reels from one spin with the middle & bottom reels from another spin, starting out with those combinations that have only one possible match. This starts building chains of various sections of the virtual reel. Eventually you end up with a single, looping chain. Using this method I am pretty sure I came up with the actual layout of each virtual reel.

I would LOVE to see your mapping of the reels - is it finished yet?

Yes. I have attached those results to this post. Since there is only one wild symbol on each reel, I aligned all of them to start with the Wild symbol at the top. I also repeated the first two symbols at the bottom of each reel. Every spin you make on the slot should match up somewhere on each reel.

Just a bit confused about the above bit - what does the 25/31 represent? Are you saying there are 3 scatters on reels 1 & 2, and 2 on reel 3, and have calculated getting 2 scatters, but not 3?

Correct. In order to calculate the probability of getting only 2 scatters, you have to eliminate the probability of the third reel also containing a scatter, otherwise you'll end up with the probability of getting 2 or more scatters.

The scatters and bonuses are the easiest to calculate because you don't have to take into account the 25 different paylines, you just calculate the probability of the symbol landing anywhere on that reel. The math for the paylines is trickier, and I'm not even going to attempt it. Instead I wrote a program to figure out each combination (all 58,100,138 possible reel stops) and will obtain the results that way.

Then there is the free spin feature. I won't be able to figure that out until I get the results from everything else first. It will be interesting to see what the approximate return percentage is without the bonus feature.

I spent about 8-9 hours plotting out the reels on Tomb Raider - and I can assure you my results are 100% accurate.

I have no doubt that SJ's figures are correct too.

1. QUEEN OF PYRAMIDS- CANT BELIEVE NO ONE SAID THAT
2. ISIS
3. HARVEYS
4. GOOD TO GO

I have never got the bonus on Queen of pyramids ..would love to though

I have to say that Isis is tops for me with Harvey's running a close second. Love that 6X multiplier on every bonus spin with Isis and the chance of hitting the 25X multiplier at the right time with Harveys. These two really get my "juices" flowing when they are hot !!
