Baby Boomer's - another Rival ****-up?

[KasinoKing]

Look I'm sorry Rival, but I will keep on reporting these errors until you learn to get it right first time.

Here I'm only dealing with the Greece section - I'll look at the others later.

Okey-dokey, lets start with the minor cock-up - the mandatory howling error in the game's rules:-

Well that's lovely - except of course the free-spins are actually no-lose spins and the fixed expanding wild only appears on reels 1 and 5...



Now this next bit could be very serious, or not depending on your personal view.
Here's the Paytable:-

Would you expect the Dolphin to multiply wins x2 during the free spins?
(More on this below - please read before voting)

Exhibit A:
I got 5 x Helmets during the free-spins with a 3c/line trigger
I would expect that to pay: 3c x 65 = $1.95 x2 for the wild = $3.90
But it only paid $1.95 - it was not multiplied by 2.

Exhibit B:
Same sort of thing really, hit 2 lots of 5 Octopussies on the last free-spin off a 5c/line trigger.
I would expect that to pay: 5c x 300 = $15.00 x2 for the wild = $30.00
I had 2 lots of 5 which should be $60 total + loads of other smaller wins along the way.
But my grand total at the end of the spins is only $55.

The rules only say this:-

To be fair, it doesn't say anywhere that I can see that the Dolphin multiplies the free-spin wins by two - but equally it doesn't say that they do not.
It depends how you interpret that last sentence, "wins are X1 the payout listed on the paytable" - well the paytable clearly says the Dolphin is a x2 multiplier...

So what's your opinion; should the Wilds multiply the free-spin wins by x2 or not?
And do the rules need clarifying on this point?

Next time KK, tell us when they get it right first time. It will be more of a rarity.

Fine work KK.

I find it hard to believe that the Dolphin is not a multiplier in Free spins as this just makes the whole thing far more complicated and confusing than it needs to be.

That is serious because again we can not be sure if the payout is lower than it should be or if the slot is functioning correctly.

I hate the slot anyway as the fact that you can hit a bonus round and win absolutely nothing is pretty dumb and irritating.

Ditto what Robwin said.

In all my playtime with this slot, I have never hit the Greek bonus. Wonder what is wrong with them.

I sent a rather long and intense email to the manager, Robert Frost, at Absolute and so far haven't received any sort of response. You have to send it to support and then, according to them, they will forward it on. What do you think the chances are that my email got S**t canned?

I plan to make it a mission to get a reply from them about all of this.

There is another problem I have encountered. In their VIP program is says that from Bronze level on up, you will be eligible for a weekly cashback. Since I am Bronze level it would be 10%. I read all about it. So I asked support about it and guess what in order to get it you have to have lost $100 per week and lose it. Nowhere does it say that there is anything win or lose required. It just says you will be eligible for it if you are at Bronze or above level and make a deposit.

And according to their email they aren't affiliated with any other casino but from what I gather they use the same processor as Pantasia.

That's not quite true. Hitting 3 or more ships to take you back to port does come with a small win. (See paytable above - I assume it's the same for the other locations...)

So you do always win something - even if it is extremely pathetic!

I must have either missed that or did not happen.
I hit 3 ships got bugger all, spun the reel hiy Greece, got bugger all, had a load of spins, got bugger all, hit 3 ships and back to port, got ? bugger all I thought
I will have a playcheck when I get chance.
