Been playing a bit of Playtech recently. I have taken a liking to the Marvel branded slots, in particular IronMan 2. Graphics are neat and the Free Spin Round concept is great.
As with all Slots I play, I seriously have a proper go. I would never play 100 or 200 spins and classify a slot as 'Tight'. In any event, I decided to give IronMan 2 (25 Lines) and IronMan 2 (50 Lines) a proper go at various Playtech Casinos. Initially I though that my continual losses on these slots were down to bad luck and brushed it off. I played bets from 0.25c to 2.50 and sometimes maxing my spins at $5.
I would trigger the FS randomly from 10 - 500 spins. The majority of wins from the FS's were under 50x bet. I hit the occasional 100x bet and the best was 200x on a $2.50 bet. What was quite trendy on the game was that it would take almost $200 playing $1 to trigger a 50x bet win in the FS. I would go over 1000 spins every time hoping that at some stage I could see a correction - Nothing. I would obviously have a few feature triggers in between but it was extremely difficult in 90% of the times I played to even out or peak $5 above my start balance.
What also stood out for me was the inability to have even triggered the Random Jackpot feature. Being a predominantly MG player, I found that LOTR triggered the Jackpot wheel more often. I was not able to do this in probably over 10 000 spins with my maximum bet being $5 (I also played in Pounds and Euros).
I assumed that the game had a high volatility and could have possibly been similar to LOTR. I understood that the RTP was reduced for the Progressive, however; the dry runs did not make sense. I decided to contact Casino Support and inquire about the Variance in order to satisfy my curiosity. Although they were unable to provide me with this info, I was told by a Senior Manager after consulting the technical team that IronMan 2 was set at a92.31 RTP.
I'm not questioning the Game or the Randomness ... I am actually very disappointed that given the popularity of the game and the infrequent Jackpot games, coupled with a lower top award for the progressive, that this slot is set so low.
I kinda makes sense why it was never in my best interest to try and pursue a nice hit (Which probably can happen) given the RTP. I'm sure that a few seasoned members could have told me that, but in any event, just sharing
