Scratch N Spin AWP

**Setag** · 12th January 2010, 12:12 PM

Slots and Scratchcards - together at last! win scratch cards from the reel winnings and scratch them off in the feature game. I even noticed there was a Who is a Stallionaire AWP themed card!! I had the best luck on the kebabry one, got a 600x award on it

Found this at 32red, it is new as I am a frequent player there.

Even more surprisingly I actually won 20 scratch cards award!!!

Its a dam shame I was playing on 10p stake but I still ended up with just shy of 300

i dont usually win at all so today may be my lucky day, will have a further play now

*edit - instantl play flash casino (not sure if its on the download will check)

It might be, over a dozen of these scratchcard style games have appeared under "unique games" on the download. There was no announcement.

Well, it looks like MGS have given up on them anyway. They are disappearing left, right & centre from casinos on my desktop.

The still seem to be there in the Flash casinos, even the "disappeared" ones. This is a huge disappointment, because it very much looked like they were ADDING these to the download version. There were still MANY more on the Flash casino, where they seem to have been added in abundance, certainly many more than when I last looked.

In the new lobby upgrade however, the AWP games in particular run VERY SLOW INDEED, and they are nowhere near as much fun to play as they were before, and indeed STILL ARE in the Flash casino.

Scratch N Spin does not seem to be in the download, and even if it were, it would play terribly slow once the new lobby gets introduced.

I expect the trend will continue, with MGS ditching ALL the AWP games from the download in favour of them being only in Flash.

Since MGS and operators are telling us little or nothing, no-one can really tell what is going on.

Yeah, wanted to play the Who Wants To Be a Stallionare game yesterday at Purple Lounge and it was no longer there!
I had finally figured out how it worked.
Sucks.

Someone needs to light a fire under MGS, this is UNPRECEDENTED. In all the time I have been playing MGS (since 2004), there has NEVER NEVER been games REMOVED from the download casino, not even when it became "bloatware", and players were begging for something to be done about it.

Whilst AMERICAN players have seen games removed from their lobbies, shortly after they were released in December, the reasoning given for this DOES NOT APPLY to players outside the US.

The only other theory I have come up with is based on the recent Red Flush newsletter. The lobby upgrade was made to support more graphically intensive games being released from this point onward, and existing games would therefore always be poorer in appearance (and in play in some players' experience).

The AWP games in particular have been hit hard by this lobby upgrade, and play VERY slowly indeed, and often fail to respond altogether to player instructions (such as clicking spin, you have to do it twice sometimes).
MGS may have concluded the games were incompatable with the new lobby design, and have begun to phase them out. This may well be the beginning of a completely new chapter with MGS, and from this point forward we could see other games being retired from the portfolio as new games with the better graphics are released. This might be done on a "6 out, 6 in" basis.

I noticed that around half a dozen new AWP games appeared around November, including Cops & Robbers and Hip Hop O Potamus. Now, 6 of the very first AWP games introduced some 3 years ago have been retired.

I checked recently in the Flash version of a casino where these games have been retired from the download, and they are still there (and you can play Stallionaire there simply by using your download account details to log into the Flash casino).
The AWP games play like they USED to play before the lobby update, not slow as watching paint dry as they do now. There are also MANY more AWP games available in Flash, and the download has only ever had a small selection of them.
