And the most annoying slot award goes to.....

[KasinoKing]

Can I change my vote?
After reading this thread I realised I hadn't played with Dolphins for ages, so gave it a shot:
After 70 spins I got the scatters & chose 10 spins...
But it gave me the lowest multiplier of x5 & my 'reward'? Bet x9.66

So I carried on, low-rolling for ages before gradually upping the stakes until finally after another 231 spins it conceded another feature. By this time I was WAY down & betting HUGE by my standards (5c/line) so I decided to plum for 20 spins for maximum return...
It gave me fricking x2 multiplier and returned bet x 21.
If only it had given me x7 I would have got all my losses back, instead it left a huge hole in my bankroll.

I think this is the first time ever I have been given the lowest multiplier twice in a row

The one with the cats, where you have to make "S P E L L" across all five reels... How fricking annoying is THAT!!???!? When the letters are not just taking up space, they're awarding a less than great feature... and HOW MANY TIMES CAN YOU GET THE FIRST FOUR BUT NOT THE FIFTH!!!

I've had to ban myself from playing it after dropping £500 into Royal Vegas thinking the deadly "it's got to do something pretty soon..."

That's Magic Spell - and you actually have to spell "M A G I C"

It's a high variance slot - getting the 'pick a book' feature can take ages, but it's usually worth it as it often pays bet x 75+

I chose Pollen Nation -- and include all its kin -- Gift Rap, and whatever that one is with the ships and such, and any of those where I have to 'pick' my win. I've only played Hitman in Free mode, but couldn't 'pick' anything of import in its bonus feature either (3 spins w/2x !). pfffftttt....

Shit - yes. How weird that I sat playing the thing for ages and forgot the word across - I think that's my brain trying to erase it from memory

You get some reasonably hits when the multiplier symbol hits too, but it's just so few and far between - with no potential for the (Ladies Nite/Spring Break style) SUPER hits!

In my opinion, I think that dolphin tale is one of MG`s better slots. Its truly different from all the others in one key area. The random pop up wilds during free spins! I agree dolphin tale can be a hit and miss, smetimes it takes ages and ages to get them out, sometimes i cant get them out at all, but its still one of my favourite games because when they do come out, they usually come out in floods.

I was playing dolphin tale yesterday and I had the bonus come out 9 times on the row, ended up doing pretty well off it though nothing spectacular this time. But the fun part is watching and hoping for those free pop up wilds that appear, thats what adds the excitement hoping for them. To me anyway. Its still a unique slot, at least i dont know of any other Mg slots that give free pop up wilds during free spins.

It is an expensive slot, made much more so because of 45 playing lines. To me playing on all these lines the `law of diminishing returns applies`. 45 lines doesnt seem to yield an increase in rewards equal to what it costs to play when compared with only 25 lines selected and the cost of playing that. 25 Lines does me fine and ive had some mighty wins of Dolphine tale since it came out. Hope this helps

Slotster, do you not get the impression that Royal vegas appears to focus too much on tournaments and prize money as opposed to just allowing players to win? I havent been a member there long but its far from myfavourite casino after having deposited several times and come away with next to nothing, their games seem a little tight to me, almost as if their % ratio is lowering than at other mg casinos. My guess is that they cater for tournament players more, which is fair enough if thats the case, but i havent been a member long and might just have joined during a bad run. Whats your opinion?

Well, I joined up with the tournaments in mind - despite not actually entering one yet; You ask the question at a very ironic time though! I literally yesterday asked for my logs from another MG, as I've been experimenting with my usual (old) style of play - versus a more low roller (new) style.

I'll post up some more details when I've thought about it a bit more - but to answer your question today - I'm doing ok by betting reasonably high on the old favourites at Royal Vegas (£4.50/9.00 range). Return is exactly what I'd expect really... Now as for the low rolling....

Well the votes have been cast and the results are in.

Unfortunately it is a unsatisfactory tie between Hitman and cash N curry.

I guess since they are different types of slots they can both be best of category winners

Many thanks to all who took part, now go get 'em!

Now do a RTG REal Series one. I could vote on that (Crystal Waters - hmm or a tie with Aladdin.)

Aladin:
I remember playing that about a Year ago and it taking me about 800 spins to hit the feature and about the same to work out I needed 3 scatters first 3 reels or last 3 reels
I do'nt usualy check paytables straight away to add to the fun/mystery so when I kept hittin 3 scatters and nothing wa happening I was like Doh!
Then about a Week ago I palyed RTG in fun mode for the first time and on Aladin hit the random Jackpot of about $6000 in a few spins at 90c
I posted a screenshot somewhere but that is the sort of thing that just convinces me these things are not as random as they are made out to be.
