Treasure Island winspins tricks?

[thebizb]

Is there some way that you all pick stop when your playing treasure island and you get the winspin option bonus? It seems everytime i get it no matter when i stop it, it always lands one 1, then if i get it again it lands on 2 and just keeps going that way until I end up losing. The most spins i've ever gotten up to was 7 and thats after i declined spin counts of 1-6.

Is there some sort of trick or am i just the most unlucky player on that feature game. I've tried everything from paying complete attention to get the timing down, to closing my eyes and just praying and it never works.

It's a COMPENSATED game, not a RANDOM game.

You are constantly getting 1, followed by 2, then 3..... etc because you are DECLINING each offer. The "trick" is that for the most part you will ONLY be offered back a portion of the money you have put in.

VERY occasionally though, there is a random injection into the compensated "pot", and this is "bleedin' obvious", as you will suddenly see a giant leap in what you are offered.

For example, you might be progressively offered 1, 2, 4, etc winspins, and all of a sudden it offers 50. TAKE IT, because this is when it pays out LARGE.

Often, this is preceeded by a string of reel wins that often include the 20x and 40x ones (Parrots and Ships). This string of reel wins itself is a good indication that you have received a significant revaluation of your compensated pot, and any feature offered after this is likely to be of significantly greater value.

I have my suspicions though, I am seeing LESS in the way of reel wins over the last couple of months, from about the time something ELSE changed on the game, where it was no longer possible to use the buttons "space", 1, 2, 3, Q, W, E to control the game DESPITE these buttons and their function being specified under the HELP for the game.

MGS may have "chipped" this Fruit Machine game, something that UK players are familiar with when operators see takings fall as players "learn" all the tricks and "hidden features", and importantly the "signs" of whether it is going to pay, or take.

Shortly after this "chip" though, I scooped that 51K from 32Red, so we players had the last laugh

Maybe the variance has been tweaked, something easy to do, and hide, in a compensated game. The RTP is probably the same, not for individual players, but for the game overall (all players, all casinos).

VWM another thing i have noticed is once you have taken say the 50 spins and won a nice sum it really isnt worth playing it ever again as it will still start from the big win you just received!

i assume you will never play TI on 32 red again?

It's not quite as simple as that

SOMETIMES, it WILL pay out AGAIN.

When I "caned" 32Red, although I had 6 CONSECUTIVE high paying features, there were MANY completely DEAD spins between most of them. I could easily have used the above philosophy and NEVER played again after hitting the FIRST 15K, and would have completely missed out on the remaining 35K by saying "never".

USUALLY though, it WILL be stone cold after such a big win, and although it SHOULDN'T be played again straight away, it might be worth a few spins every deposit or two in order to see if one of those mystery "pot injections" comes in that CAUSES these really big payouts in the first case.

There are a few casinos where I HAVE played it again, after a delay, from a previous big payout, and it has paid AGAIN more than I put in it.

Sadly, I have played it where it is DEAD, and dead AGAIN, and AGAIN, with NO sign of getting much past 50% back. This shows where the money for the big payouts comes from - the players who get around 50% return.

Funnily enough, this is EXACTLY how things work out with "real" Fruit Machines.


Because you CAN "learn" to play this game, I suspect MGS are "chipping" it to play slightly differently every few updates. The most recent "chipping" was OBVIOUS. I was use to using the "space" bar for spin, easier than the mouse. Now all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore OLD game, yet MGS CHANGED it during an early Summer update.
This month, it has CHANGED BACK, but ONLY at All Slots - where I have the "space" bar back for spins, and 1,2,3 back for nudge/hold.

Maybe it will pay "big" now with the shock of the change. The 51K from 32Red came in June, and it was the earlier June update that use of "space" and 1,2,3 disappeared from the game (the MGS "chip").
