Thunderstruck Slots

[Casinomeister]

Well, I'm just back from the trenches. Great Game! Thunderstruck Slots is a 9 line 5 coin slot which is the first Microgaming 9 liner that players can play 1 cent on. Kudos for MG since this has been one of the biggest problems with their slots; they're just too damn expensive to play. Here the most modest gambler can enjoy the game at 45 cents a spin (that's at a max coin bet for nine lines, you can take it down to 9 cents a spin, but why bother?).

And for you video poker fans who get frustrated at not being able to "double" your winnings, there is a double feature there too. Very bitchin'

Anyway, I logged onto Crazy Vegas and deposited $200. Here is how it went:

In the beginning, I was getting my ass kicked. I usually play $2.25 a spin since I can't see it being worthwhile if I bet any less, but I didn't hit the "bonus round" until I went through the first $100. And it was a disappointing bonus round with a total of $14.50 win. But I was determined to get another bonus round, so I wished real hard and "poof" another one showed up. This time I took in $26 which was still a bummer. But in between these rounds I was getting some decent hits; a couple for over $35!

Then I hit the bonus round again for $101 which was MUCH better, and then almost immediately again for $192. So I cashed out $200 with around $100 left, played that some more until I was down to about $50, then hit one more bonus round for $66. So I have about $100 left to dick around with later today.

If you're wondering where to play, it's at most Viper powered MG casinos right now. You can check my listing here http://www.casinomeister.com/casinos.html which should state if they are Viper powered or not.

Any other experiences?

FINALLY! I don't know why they can't adjust some of the other slot games to take less than a quarter per line too. It really wouldn't be that hard to do from a programmical sense. Glad to see they finally got one at least. Can't wait to give it a try tonite.

... and unfortunately for the casino I was playing at while waiting for the update... I hit a royal

WTF????

I have YET to hit a royal! And I play just about daily!

When I was in Vegas I was playing 100 way VP and there was a RF in one of the "hundred" once. It was a penny machine, so it couldn't have been a big win. I don't even remember...

I was playing at Crazy Vegas. It appeared when I logged on and all I did was download it.

I finally got to try it - not bad, not bad Love those Scatter Rams!

[Casinomeister]

I've been kicking some ass. I received three rams during my bonus round spin which ended up with a $225 payout. I hit the bonus round with $4 left in my account. So far I've cashed out $550 on a $200 deposit!

How will I ever get any work done now??

[Casinomeister]

Now I have $1550 pending cash out....

Not bad for $200

I'm addicted now. Time to go to bed...

Wow, that's amazing Bryan, wtg! I can't wait to get home to try this new game. Grand Bay has apparently given me $25 to try it with, woohoo!

Keep playing for those royals, it took a long time before I finally hit my first, and then it was on a deuces wild machine drawing 5 new cards (heart royal). Since then I see them more & more often. Don't give up hope! BTW, Viper is very good for royals I've found.

WTF? $1550?

When I played, Thunderstruck was as tight as a scatter ram's... now I know why...

JPM - exactly right - if you subscribed to my newsletter, you'll have read that that was my 3rd on Viper out of four total, and none in a land based casino Though I normally don't play that much, maybe once every month or so, this month I played a lot more than usual, so the royal only took me back to even...

[Casinomeister]

Sometimes I up the bet to $9 a spin...for three or four spins just to see what happens, and after about three spins I hit five "staffs" on line one four $750.

Now to leave it alone for a day so I can get some things done.

As for Royals jpm, I've had my share of Royals Deuces wild. I was even dealt this as an initial hand at Sun Vegas's power poker. I even hit four dueces twice within fifteen minutes of each other. I've just never hit a natural Royal...and I know how to play
