Some of the 243 way slots are actually some of the best slots around for entertainment and are capable of providing very good hits, despite me not playing them as much now as when I first started. As an all- round candidate I would have to say Thunderstruck 2 has to be up there, or even Immortal Romance.
Personally though, the early 9- liners are the best so my choice would be Thunderstruck 1. Even without the bells and whistles it is still the best balanced slot around!
It's too early in the morning for such hard questions!
Personally, IR. Whilst I like a lot of the other 243 way slots The Finer Reels Of Life does nothing for me. Playboy is nice but I'm just not keen on the whole theme. TS2 I like, but it really does irritate the hell out of me sometimes. IR, although it can be just as annoying as TS2 it just has that edge. I think overall it has the best package.
TS2 from Microgaming is one of the best games to high roll. But still it seems that NetEnt will be the best provider. Microgaming has chosen wrong path i guess with their games. Not so innovative anymore..
There is no way I could choose just one. No way!
Every single time I play and it doesn't matter where, I get sad when I ran out of money before I had the chance to play just a few more slots.
I also have so many favourits that I rarely have time to play the new ones
There are just too many out there!
C'mon Tiriley, there has to be one you always start your sessions with
No, it isn't. It varies, and it depends on software too. I have a few that I like more than others but they can change too.
Sorry to disappoint you
It changes overtime, in 2007 I played quite a bit old NetEnts such as SpellCast and Diamond Dogs, thought they had good graphics, then came IGT with Da Vinci Diamonds and NetEnt with Gonzo´s Quest (innovative at that time).
Then came Secret of the Sword- Tomb raider 2 (MG). A great slot at that time. I still consider the bonus game in this slot one of the best made ever to date. Great fun to master all continents and with secret bonuses hidden. Had my biggest win ever on this slot (8000euro).
Then emerged IR, and all those similar ones.
Now we have seen the emergence of second generation slots from NetEnts (innovative but unconventional e g Starburst, Twin Spin, Wild Water). I really enjoy Wild Water.
I also see great potential in some of the new providers on the marker including the remarkable clear graphics on the Yggdrasil slots. PlayNGo (Energoonz etc).
For me it will always be Thunderstruck.
( The nine line version, not the 243. I'd have to be tortured for nine hours with a feather duster before playing Thunderstruck 2 ).
TS1 (and its clones) might not have the bells and whistles of new slots, but if I want video entertainment I'll put on a DVD.
Nine liners are slotting for the purist.
Apart from anything else, with a classic nine line slot you can get serious action out of the base game and you're not depending on a feature.
(Contrast that with the Terminator 2 discussion thread where so many people are saying you're a slave to the feature kicking in for big wins)
Take it from me there is no bigger kick than five wilds landing on a nine line slot.
No woman, no drink, no holiday can give you that same buzz...
No WOMAN?! Seriously, you have to go out more often buddy Relax, just kidding I just don't get the Thunderstruck thingy, I find it equally boring as a 25 year old Volvo...
Ha yes I probably got a bit carried away there. Ok I'll say Thunderstruck is third on the thrill list behind Women and really good rock concerts..
But it's a good thing that an LOTR fan like yourself and a TS1 diehard like myself will never relate to each others' enjoyment.
Variety is the spice of life and people are different, which is why I get annoyed that MGS seem to only be interested in 243 liners now.
They built a relationship with 9-15 line slot players years ago when they released games like TS1, Avalon etc which were groundbreaking at the time, yet they don't want to service that relationship any more.
I would really struggle to name just 10 - there are just too many great slots out there to whittle it down to such a small number.This top ten list is the worst ever but I like it anyway. It's my longest thread on CM yet, with a proper purpose and proper name. The fact that we still have no top ten list is hilarious
Ok so I'll just throw a top ten list out there :
1. Thunderstruck
2. Jack & Jill
3. Pandora's Box
4. Trolls
5. Old King Cole
6. Georgie Porgie
7. Scarface
8. Adventure Palace
9. Ladies Nite
10. Penguin Vacation
1 - Thunderstruck 1 (the original slot, not the dodgy sequel) Microgaming
2 - Jade Idol Cryptologic
3 - Black Knight WMS
4 - Avalon 1 (the original slot, not the dodgy sequel) Microgaming
5 - Marilyn Monroe Playtech
6 - Age of Discovery Microgaming
7 - Arabian Nights NetEnt
8 - Penguin Vacation Playtech
9 - Bitten IGT
10 - Playboy (9 liner from the now defunct playboy casino, not the new MG game) Cryptologic
