MegaMoolah free-spins - just a myth?

**KasinoKing** · 26th January 2007, 12:26 AM

I've had a couple of session on MegaMoolah for the Lads scratchcard promo, but can I get the free-spins?
NO.
I've done 478 spins, and got zip

Has 2 monkeys quite a lot, but never felt the 3rd one would appear.
Of course, never had the bonus wheel either...

What are other player's experiences with this slot?

When this slot came out it was giving them up every 30-50 spins and lots of retriggers, since this baby has tightened up, I think almost 500 spins with no feature is on the high side but I have gone 350, when the spins happen they usually come in twos or threes in a short amount of spins, I still like this game though.

I have to say that Mega Moolah is pretty ordinary IMHO

Someone like me that seldom bets more than $2 a spin on any slot doesnt have a lot of incentive to play it, given that bet size determines your chances of winning any of the jackpots (which I havent yet BTW)

Its a bit like the Marvel Slots for me - not worth it for the low-roller.

Overall, Im fairly disappointed with the new slots over the past 6 months and find myself playing the older ones more and more these days.

MG needs to get some imagination like RTG and come out with a range of slots which are all unique and not just copies of others with the symbols changed etc. I would have thought MG had the resources to do it, but alas.....

No, surely not - MG say all the games are random

That only happens when a new Fruit Machine comes out because they set payouts higher for a month to get people to try it and be impressed, any evidence that casinos do this means they are lying about the games being unriggable.

Hey Vinyl - do you think online casinos really do that??

I know that sometimes I think it - but then I have a win and think 'Oh well I was just having a bad run'

Ive heard it mentioned by Phynqster (I think) that individual RTG casinos can set their own payout % on slots, but surely there would be a minimum..?

Our land based slots here in Oz are set at 88% minimum so the online variety are still a better bet for me, but at least I know that government regulation wont let my local hotel rip me off just because they feel like it.

Thanks for your input on the forums too BTW - I find your posts very informative at times

I dont know the MG mechanics, but i am almost 100% positive that they do change payouts - especially set it higher for new slots as a marketing "gag".

**cheekymonkey** · 26th January 2007, 03:03 PM

Yup - pretty ordinary for me too.

I find the line wins very low, bar the 5 wilds.

I have hit the free spins pretty much as expected - once every couple of hundred spins or so.

I hit the MM jackpot the other day @ 75p a spin - I won the �10.00 jackpot though. I've hit the �100.00 jackpot a couple of times @ �1.25 a spin as well.

I posted my experience with this slot in a different thread and I for one am convinced they can change the payout. First time I played when it was newer, playing at 50 cents a spin I hit free spins all the time, hit the mini progressive three times and minor one once all within 1500 spins. second time I played it a few days later I got very few free spins and the mini one time, then the last three times I played all with sessions of over 1000 spins I maybe got the free spins one time perhaps two if I were lucky and never once in those last three sessions did I see the progressive round and I varied my bet size from 50 cents to 2.25. The reels spin so slow that it hurt watching 350 go down the tubes at 2 bucks a spin that I just can't play that slot anymore. Oh and just for kicks I also did 1000 spins at 1 cent, one line just to see if that triggered the progressive, no progressive but I did get the free spins one time. I honestly can't stand that slot, the thought of playing it now just gives me an uneasy feeling lol :-).
