Most poorly designed video slot(s)

[De Beuker]

Fearless Frederick by Microgaming.

Played it once, finally got 3 scatters.
Then you go into a 'funny' cartoon where Frederick has to make a rescue or something.
I chose the woman in the burning building.
And what happened?
The bastard crashed against a brick wall!!

Result: No free spins, just a big fat nothing.

Never played it again.

When I hit 3 scatters I want AT LEAST free spins!

I also think all the new MG 'retro' slots sucks - the one where you can respin each reel.

These are absolutely dreadful!

Another lousy MG slot is Power Spins - Sonic 7s. This game is brutally slow! After 3 or 4 spins, I had to get out of it because I felt my sanity fading.

Agree!
That horrible pause after every single spin!
How could they do that?!

Rival slots are nice but its bad that they not have any trustworthy casino available.

3dice "japan/chinese slot" is terrible. You try hit ying yang scatters and when you get all pieces for picture you get only few spins and low multiplayer (other slots you get much better freespins even one spin).

I will say Lucky Last by RTG the looks of that slot are just hideous I cringe every time I see it in the drop down box of the casino..

Oh gawd, ChingChing. It's a damn pretty game, but I certainly wouldn't touch it in real play. I guess there's a market for that kind of game, but it doesn't appeal to me one bit.

But, honestly, I'd rather play ChingChing than that god awful Slotronomicon. The fact that people actually win on that thing astounds me.

I quite like Slotronomicon. I never have won on it but and like you it almost seems impossible to me for someone to do so but I still play it.

instead of mentioning a specific slot can i just say Chartwell!

they are still producing slots today that look like they would have been out of date 10 years ago, the Italian Job for instance could have been such a good game if Netent or Ash Gaming had the license, it would have had car chases and doors being blown off instead of the boring 'Pick a lump of gold' effort they gave it

Theres very select few slots I hate - Rival; I like the majority of them, but Opera Night, come on. Seriously? Wins on any lines are nowhere near your bet; you have to get supremely lucky to hit a bonus round or free spins, and the free spins are god awful.

MG; I don't really play anything other than my 'favourites', so can't really complain, but I will mention Robin Hood, Feathers of Fortune. I dislike this game purely for the fact it seems to stink every time I play!

RTG, however, I reserve a special place for some of their games. Any of the games that make you have to get 3 scatters on reels 1 2 and 3 for example. Come on. If I hit 3 scatters anywhere, I want a bonus round. Ridiculous. Aladdin's Gold springs to mind.

And finally, as above, ANY casino slot that makes you have to hit 3 scatters on reels 1, 2 and 3, or 4, 5 and 6, and THEN has the audacity to say, "Oh no, you have to hit them on an active payline AS WELL" - seriously, like I'm going to play your slot :P

I understand what you are saying and why you feel these slots are "poor value", but in reality it doesn't make ANY difference at all.

A slot will be designed to give the feature in X number of spins on average - it doesn't matter HOW you trigger the feature, the chances are still the same.
What I'm saying is a slot where you need scatters on reels 1, 2 & 3 could well be more likely to give you the feature than one where 3 scatters anywhere will trigger it.
It makes no odds.
