Meister Slots - Looking for bitchin' ideas

[liquidsoap]

I like the idea about thunderstruck.
But I think 15 lines instead of 9 would be much better.
What would be the theme????
How about the many faces of Casinomeister??
That would be a pretty solid theme!

I like the idea of a horse racing bonus round. Especially one where you get to pick a horse based on the odds!

[SlotsWizard]

My ideal slot would be an amalgam of Thunderstruck, Tomb Raider, Harveys, Hitman, a couple RTG games and a B&M game, with the following features:

Scatters

The scatters must be true scatters - that is, none of this left-to-right or right-to-left crap: that defeats the purpose of the scatter.

2 scatters would pay 2x and trigger a respin à la RTG to see if you can get additional scatters (thereby triggering some real free spins).

Free Spins

I love the concept of a Mystery Multiplier which changes with each free spin, so -

3 scatters would pay 5x and trigger 15 free spins with mystery multipliers between 3x and 10x
4 scatters would pay 100x and trigger 20 free spins with mystery multipliers between 5x and 15x
5 scatters would pay 500x and trigger 25 free spins with mystery multipliers between 10x and 20x

The free spins must of course be theoretically infinitely retriggerable.

Bonus Round

There should be a bonus round similar to the green laptop bonus in Hitman. Incredibly difficult to get, but when you do it usually pays nicely. It should not be a "pick any 3 objects" type of bonus - it should be presented in such a way that the player won't get angry at themselves for having "picked" the wrong object, and it should not take more than 50-60 seconds tops to complete the bonus round.

Paylines

There should be 9 or 15 paylines.

As Slotster said, no low-end 2-symbol payouts: that takes away from other combinations and bonus rounds which could pay out more.

Also, if you win anything less than 100x your bet, there are to be no extravagant, long, drawn-out annoying win sounds that prevent the player from spinning again until they complete. If you've ever played Avalon or Kathmandu, you know what I'm talking about ("DING DING DING DING DING!" - oh look, I got four 10's - whoopee).

Wild Symbols

A unique feature I got once on a B&M slot was pretty cool - I had a spin where 3 wilds appeared scattered about, and the reels with the wild symbols were held in place while the other reels respun 3 or 4 times, with winnings accumulating with each respin. (This was not the same as the free spin feature, which that game also had.) I have yet to see this feature in any online slot. Some games hold scatters in place and respin, but not wilds.

Other good properties for the wild symbols (some of which are incompatible with each other) include:
- A 2x or higher multiplier when substituting in winning combinations
- Expanding to cover the whole reel when it appears
- Substituting for scatters as well as regular payline symbols
- Each successive wild increases the payout exponentially like 3-reel slots. For example, 1 wild pays 2x; 2 wilds pays 4x; 3 wilds pays 8x, etc.

Payback

The expected return should be between 99% and 99.5%, making it a truly innovative slot.

And if you could have this done by the end of the month, I would appreciate it!

I agree with getting rid of all low paying two symbol wins.

on bonus rounds make all symbols scatters, obviously we couldn't have too many free spins but the rewards could be very good.

add extra lines during the free spins, so a 9 line could become a fifteen line during the free spins with payouts remaining the same

[KasinoKing]

Some great ideas SJ

Did you know Grand Virtual already have slots with those features?
They also have higher number of free-spins for the more scatters you get.

- Substituting for scatters as well as regular payline symbols

Quick quiz! (Might be incredibly easy!):

Have a 5x symbol shaped like a beer can that can show up randomly on a winning combination.

I like the idea of a beer themed slot with various beers and beer-related symbols. If you line up 5 Hefeweizen bottles, you could win a year's supply of beer, but if there is a can of Coors Light anywhere, it cancels all your wins.

[Simmo!]

Hey you know what's missing from online casinos Meister: Spin Poker! One of the best games in Vegas. A good combination of slot and video poker and sure to be popular, plus your logo would make a good card-back! Have a word with IGT.

Like it!

how bout a slot that automatically triggers a secret feature when your balance hits zero. if you win this feature, nothing happens on your screen but a schmokin babe is dispatched to your residence with beers and a pizza. She doesn't even let on that she's a prize. Then she leaves before morning and you find a card on her pillow that reads "congrats. you won the Thundershag secret progressive!"

oh....and the longer the progressive goes without being hit--the hotter the babe. if it gets hit right away, Rosie O'Donnell shows up at your door.

[spearmaster]

I like the idea of a Bierfest slot, more or less what a couple of people have talked about already No suggestions on the actual features as there have already been some very good ones here.

Nice one about the Coors Light, GM... LOL... but you can also do that with Near Beer - at least Coors Light qualifies as a beer, although only barely just
