Lucky Darts - anyone played it?

[Nifty29]

Hey Gang

Just wondering if anyone has experience with Lucky Darts? (MG AWP)

I'm thinking of giving it a try but want to know if it is a no-brainer or if there is strategy involved, as the game rules are a little confusing.

Thanks in advance!

This is a sign that casinos KNOW there is a strategy to this supposed "random slot". I have also seen it listed alongside Craps as being disqualified from earning loyalty points. Even more odd is that no other AWP has operators concerned, so they must have been told something by Microgaming, or the strategy is so "bleedin' obvious" that everybody is doing it.

I have not played this one as it has never appeared in the download client, and Flash play is far too "laggy" for my tastes.

If there is a strategy, you are too late anyway, as it is clear that casinos are "on to it" with this one, and the other AWP games may well be on borrowed time with regard to them being treated the same as any other slot under the terms and conditions.

There's a game option 0/1, which basically just puts money into your bonus bank. You bet $1, it puts $1 in the bonus bank.

If you just cash it out instead of playing the lucky darts game, it's essentially a no risk wager.

Interesting. What's the point of that feature then?

You've obviously given the game a shot. Did you win? Do you have any tips?

EDIT: I had a shot in fun mode and did quite well. Played the"club" game the whole time. It almost appeared too easy....

The Basic Game is a one line slot with holds lit sometimes (no nudges) and a gamble win feature. Wins go into the bonus meter.

Then there's the 0/1 game, which just puts your money right into the bonus meter.

The Club Game is 5 lines and costs more to play. Can't remember offhand, but I think it works out to 6x betsize, 5 from the meter and one from your balance. It offers both line wins, and 3 darts takes you to the dart board, which pays out at least 150x betsize, and up to 1500x betsize.

The very first time I played it, I got the dart feature very quickly, and won top prize. I was only playing 10cents. I've gotten 300x maybe twice, on sessions that didn't represent a win, and 150x quite a few times, sometimes a few bucks up, sometimes down.

I can't really offer much advice.

It looks like it can be played in a similar manner to the old "Frozen Assets" slot on RTG. You can transfer your bankroll $1 for $1 into a bonus pot without any play at all, and then simply cash it out again without risking it on the bonus game. It is pretty clear what the loophole is when playing with a bonus

It may also be that the act of transferring money to the bonus bank $1 for $1 causes comp points to be earned, so the operators fix this by making the game ineligible for comps.

This was rather careless of MGS to develop a game with such an obvious loophole. The base game sounds pretty boring, and I now remember having a brief dabble with it a while ago, and classing it as too boring to bother with. The fact that I didn't even remember this from the name alone is demonstration of how BORING the game was.

Shame on me for not spotting the loophole though
