Review of the new MG slot games (July)

[soflat]

I had deposited $50, turned it into $150, and cashed out. Hey, don't laugh! Profit is profit.

I'm not laughing. I deposited $20 and cashed out $50. I had too many sessions last month where I built $25 and $50 deposits up to $200 - $350 only to lose it clearing a wagering requirement (and how stupid is that when you don't even have to clear the WR under EZBonus?).

I played Supe it Up after apparently hitting the 5 scatters on Stars and Stripes. Most wins were for 2 or 4 cents (25 cent bets). I figured even if I hit the bonus round, 6X 2 cents would just be a disappointment. Fortunately I didn't hit the bonus to experience that, and decided to take my money elsewhere.

Both of the new slots feel as if they are only half completed. Its like they forgot the finishing touches which I keep looking for...what in the world were they thinking making stars and stripes so totally blah ,after the few good ones that were recently put out?...totally boring effects and play on both new games...Will play around in fun mode only...payouts are ridiculous for the amount needed to invest.

Yup I'm starting to think maybe it's time MG revisited some of the older "tired" games and re-invented them in a similar way to how they did with Golden Goose. They made older games more fun and, okay, one or two of the features (like the walking goose) were boring but they worked for a while. And they raised my anticipation more than recent games have done. In fact, of all the 2006 games, I think the only one I revisit now is ISIS, or maybe occasionally Avalon.

I'd like to see a return to the cash display 9-line slots like Tstruck...maybe an upgrade to that model tweaking the free spins to 4x. better still, taking Tombraider and tweaking that into a 9 line slot - I always felt it had the strength to compete, 'til you realise even the decent wins are only paying 7 - 15 times your stake. That could be rectified making it a 9-liner.

They ought to canvass users for the best bits from all the games, and the worst bits, and use the feedback to improve some of the old games now. Learn from the experience of the newer games and use it to improve the overall quality rather than quantity.

i didnt want to open a new thread for this question because of some hate to the new MG stuff, but....


are MG totally re-inventing themselves to get in competition with playtech and RTG? (seeing as the new blackjack and the new video slots have a different navigation menu)

They did that last month with major millions multi-play.. whatever they call it. I think it's time to just make new games, if the lowly RTG can come out with something different I think microgaming can too.

Supe it up is nothing like ISIS, I think they have tightened this game up, no where near the scatters or wilds and the losing streaks are extreme!!! This is a money hoover.
