And I thought MG Slots are Tight!

These are the same games Lasseters had when they switched to Orbis Openbet.
They don't explain "fixed odds" on the website, but I suspect they mean the slots operate on the "bingo" principle, rather than reel stops being individually generated.

For example, the "bingo" game might award 2x bet, and the "eye candy" for the win would be the reels stopping on those 4 Jacks & wild. Many of the �500 Jackpot fruit machines here work on this principle, with each 20 line spin really being a bingo game with 20 cards. The cumulative result of the 20 bingo cards is then displayed as a multi-line slot win, or even a bonus round result.

Trezz is right about one thing though, these games "suck". There is not the thrill of the big wins, and many wins are a modest multiple of bet size.

The payout of these games is between 90% and 95%, as Lasseters had to publish these figures because their regulator told them to.

I didn't like the fact they were non-download, yet over 4 Megabytes, it took BLOODY AGES to switch games, and MY broadband speed made no difference - it seems THEIR end couldn't upload fast enough. I am not all that keen, therefore, on this new casino UNLESS they have an option to locally cache much of the flash content.

The confusing thing with that site of Orbis's is that they also have "standard" casino slots too.

I stand to be correct, TopGame is not the worst software, Orbis is, what a pile of time wasting shit, if your a slot player run, dont even waste your time, no multipliers on bonus games, this combined with the lowest paytables in the industry makes for a bad place to play.

Yup, I agree.

I deposited only because they have been recently accredited here at CM, but Im very sorry that I did (sorry Bryan)

Im sure the payouts are great and maybe the table games are wonderful, but the slots are worse than Slotland IMO and that is scraping the bottom of the barrel. On one game, the highest win possible from the bonus game is 25x bet

and the line wins are truly awful to boot.

I checked out http://www.orbisuk.com/site/openbetfixedoddgames/

And notice that they include slots into fixed odds games such as scratch cards, Hi-Lo, Keno and so on.

VWM makes a very good point, the roulette69 slots all operate on fixed odds. The same as playing bingo (and all the games mentioned above).

One thing is for certain these games are certainly NOT slot machines or bonus video slots either as roulette69 claims. Which (sorry Bryan) to me is deceptive.

This re minds me of the Slotland Video Poker fiasco. Where it was learnt that the VP were pseudo slot machines and did not operate as Video Poker Games as everyone was led to believe.

Paddypower has the Orbis slots too in the "Games" Tab, it says there for the Pimp-Slot:

"The maximum payout for this game is �250,000/�375,000. The long-term, average expected RTP % is 93.28%."

Thats very low for an Online Slot and is only beaten by Intercasino (near to 90% payout only).

It seems that the pay-out of microgaming slots is higher than this one

**me_and_ed** · 30th March 2009, 09:38 PM

They have now added M/G games in lobby 2.

Typical! after we all lose our ND bonuses on the Orbis slots, they go and get my fave of Microgaming! still, asked these guys to close my account because of the Orbis stuff, and them fobbing them off as slots I know and used to
