Secret Garden ~ New Rival Game

[Zoozie]

I found one game that still has the 87% paytable at SlotOCash. It is Cleopatra's coin. Maybe you will believe me then...

Before it was all games except a few (like Scary Rich). This is the strength of Rival software. You know what you get. Maybe SlotOCash management was not aware you would see the expected payout%. Guess they are now.

Can't compare because TIV is 87% at the moment as well.
Oh well, here's the paytable from sloto at 87% if it ever goes back to 96% anywhere, please cap a screenie someone so we can compare

It would be nice if it were possible to tell whether or not the reel layouts and/or paytables actually changed, as opposed to the casino operator manually entering 96% to make the game look like a better bet than it really is.

The reels can be plotted out (I know - I've done it at MG) but it takes fricking hours.
However, if someone would like to pay me a large fee I will do it for you...!

I'm not lost, reeely.

I analyzed Harveys using that method, and it was no small feat - plus there's always a little bit of uncertainty without having the actual data to verify against.

In this particular case, it would have been necessary to compare the before and after reel layouts in order to determine if there was a difference.

Yes, I do also want to know this for Rival software.

I know the answer for Wagerworks software. The casino operate can choose from predefined reel layouts (paytable is the same). And the shown payout% will reflect this. However the casino operator can decide not to show the payout%. But from this we can conclude that if the payout% is shown, it is correct.

Well Ive tried this one now, but Im not a fan.

The bonus round is a bit of a fantasy-fortune-like clone and although I did manage to get 50x bet on one round it took like 7 or 8 levels to get there, which seems a bit long IMO. The free spins dont seem to produce much, as most of the line pays are terrible (so 2x just makes them a bit better than terrible).

Having said that, at least Rival make an effort to come out with something different quite often which is more than I can say for MG and others.

I will also add that the free spins dont seem to be as frequent on Scary Rich any more - Ive noticed this over the course of several weeks. Of course, I have no proof but I do wonder sometimes if casinos play with reel layouts etc as opposed to paytables to make it less obvious (and of course very hard to prove). Im not making accusations here, but sometimes slot players get a 'gut feeling' and this is what I have at the moment.

Anyway, good luck to all!

I played Secret Garden in free mode. It's a lovely game, but a bit too 'cutesy' or 'girly' even for me. It was fun, but I doubt that I'll play it much. I've developed a fancy for Travel Bug for some reason.

I grant kudos to Rival for coming up with great little games.

I do wish they'd come out w/more 3 reelers, though. The vid slots are great, but sometimes I like to see more than 10% of bet returned when I do hit a little something.

I like their denomination variety in VP, but I want more video poker games.

I didn't get that specific error but I did get one that included the word SOAP and it happens when you're in the bonus round within the free spins. I got it once on Cleo's Coins and again today on Secret Garden. What happens when you get the SOAP error is that you get kicked out of the software and when you get back in, you return to the free spins but don't get to pick anything in the bonus round because the software picks it for you. I don't think that's fair and didn't find anything about on the website. However, the website does say that you will return to the free spins if you get an error and it does let you do that.

ITA Baylee about the error message in the free spins. It happened to me two times, and altho I don't think it's fair, it did pay better than when I didn't have an error message! Has anyone else had the winning amt. come up even before the slot finishes playing? On any of the slots. Kinda like finding out in the Wizard of Oz who is behind the curtain. Definitely takes the mystery out of it.
