Best MG game for WR playthrough?

[SlotsWizard]

What is everyone's favorite Microgaming game for playing through wagering requirements? I deposited $50 and got $80 bonus; WR is 20x = $2,600. Currently I have wagered 5x and I am up by $20.

I would really like to not go bust (wouldn't we all). What games do you all play to try to get through ridiculous wagering requirements? And do you use AutoPlay to help you do it? Please feel free to suggest any game, as I will check my T&C before attempting to play anything which might be excluded.

Thanks in advance!

I'm a slots only player SlotsJunkie, so in my case, T & C's usually never play a role. Actually, neither do wagering requirements, because I so rarely cashout, lol.

But if I am really making an effort to meet playthrough, quite often I will go back to some of the three reel slots, with a multiplier ie. Cash Clams, Spectacular, Sonic Boom just to name a couple. I find that sometimes the payout on those allows you to at least maintain your balance while contributing towards playthrough. I seldom bet over 50 cents a spin, unless I get over $150 and I never use autoplay.

Doubt that helps much, usually I just play. If I win, I win. If I don't, I don't. No big deal.

Same here - on all counts. I'll check out some table and VP games periodically but I always come running back to the slots! LOL

I was thinking something along these lines. In fact I recently "discovered" Chief's Magic which has a top payout of 600 coins, no wilds, no multipliers, and for that matter, no blanks on the reels either. Such a low "jackpot" means all the other combinations hit more frequently. But unfortunately the casino I'm at now doesn't have this game so I'm looking for alternatives.

It helped, thank you!

Jacks or Better 50-line with total bet of 2.5$ has very low variance and payout is 99.54%. And it can autoplay. This is the best payout% of all videopokers except All Aces which is only single line and not autoplay, and JoB also has very low variance for VP.

2000$ wagering requirement is 800 autospins with a total bet of 2.5$ which again is 40000 hands in (can be seen in the statistic pop-up). I autospin and set it to stop with a win higher than 40$ (1 RF, pat 4oK, pat SF). RF cycle is about 40K hands, so you should hit 1 on average.

Under options change speed to 'fastest' before you start autospin.
Except for BJ I do not know a better way to clear wagering requirment that this. All Aces does have higher payout but
with the extreme variance and miminum bet 1.25$ on only 1 line, this would be risky (and no autoplay), but have the
highest EV if you master optimal strategy. Because you bankroll is so low, JoB 50-line is way the best way to go.
I have cleared wagering requirements totalling over 100K$ this way (probably several 100K$) most on bet 5$ total though.

I always play Skull Duggery. Usually when I am down to a few dollars or even cents, I seem to get a long play session out of this game. My 50 cents or so usually ends up going back up to $5.00. I know thats not much but my point is you can grind out some time on this slot. Hope that helps you.

Thanks for the great advice Zoozie! And thank you to ballysdb too.

Hmmm.... do I have you to thank for the reason that JoB 50-play is excluded from my WR? LOL

I have also cleared wagering requirements where JoB was not allowed. Some also
does not alllow multiline VP.

You can then go for 50-line dueces wild (DW) that has payout 99.37% but variance is much higher. Still it is the best you can do besides JoB if table games like BJ are not allowed. Slots have 95-96% payout% so I would definately not go for slots.

If only single VP allowed and JoB not allowed, go for 'All american' or 'Aces and faces' and make the software autoplay.


Remember NEVER to play single line DW on MG that has payout 96%. I you want to be robbed, play slots instead, they are much more fun. I think
MG ruined single line DW so some casinos could allow this game for bonus
purposes and stilll have a huge edge.

I noticed this a while ago... I took the Wizard's DW Optimal Strategy return % table and modified the payouts according to MG's DW game..... and watched that percentage drop from just over 100% to 96ish%, what a bummer.

Here are the T&C for my WR:

Certain games are excluded from those which players are permitted to play for the purpose of meeting their wagering requirements. This is done to avoid any "bonus abuse". Excluded games are:
Jacks or Better Power Poker, Jacks or Better Video Poker, Jacks or Better 10 Play Power Poker, All American Video Poker, All forms of 50 and 100 Play Power Poker, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette and Sic Bo.
Blackjack play is also restricted - but not entirely excluded - for purposes of meeting the wagering requirements. As with other games exclusions, this is due to similar "bonus abuse" problems. Please note that only 20% of the above wagering obligations can be met by playing Blackjack.

Since I only have $150 should I really take the risk of setting up autoplay on BJ for (20% of $2600) = 520 hands @ $1 each? I am sure that if I do I would find a $0 balance before even a third of those hands are over. Thoughts?

I wouldn't bother with cards at all - even the allowed ones like Let it Ride, PaiGow & 3-card are not good at MG's. Stud is possibly the best of the allowed games; I usually find I can turn over quite a lot without huge loss - even with MG's rip-off pay table (1:1 for 2 pair )
I would stick to the bonus slots like Harveys, Ladies Nite, Tomb Raider (as long as it's not 5c minimum), Haloweenies & Spring Break.
At least then I have a chance of a 'biggie' or two.
Of course there is also a good chance I will bust out with slots - but hey, I'm a gambler!

I always play Skull Duggery

I also play this and I seem to get my funds up quite a bit, I also play Bah Bah Blacksheep and have hit the sheep quite a few times on .20 bets and come up from .60 to over $50 many times on both these games...Good luck!
