3 Dice: New 243 ways game, Kyoko's Quest

[KasinoKing]

And I closed the casino because in the time it took me to type this the casino popped in front of this web page twice. Apparently they're able to make their own software but can't figure out why it does this.

I haven't had the "popping up" problem, but there is definitely something flunky about 3Dice software...

The problem I get quite often is the software will suddenly "freeze" in the middle of playing a game. After a couple of minutes, 3Dice's own error window comes up saying something like "3Dice has stopped responding; Close or Exit & re-start".
But if I click Exit & Re-start, nothing happens, the frozen game just stays on my screen, and I can't even close it using the Task Manager - the only way to clear it is to completely re-boot my computer.

Oh, and another thing: Every time I've started up 3Dice since Kyoko's was released I get a message saying that game is being updated...

I think it's about time they sorted these issues out - hopefully 3Dice will make it their New Year's Resolution!

I still can't load kyoko's quest, it just says loading then sends me back to the lounge screen every time I really wanna try it out with my tourney win money. Might try re-installing I guess.

 

[Akrasia]

re-install worked, I'm in.

I almost did ok that time. I was up 400 after the 4th bonus round at max bet.

Then it cost 2700 to get the last bonus feature. Paid 1200.

And then it'll say in chat "Skiny won T$1200" lol

I love this game...play it mostly every night in real since it came out but it needs to be loosened up. The other night I believe I had $160 in spins betting $1 and finally going down to 50 cents...never got a bonus. The next two nights I did get a few but when it makes a hit of any kind it plummets. Odd thing...I have bet $1.00 and in the final round get over $100 but yet I have bet $3.50 and got under a $100 (I'm talking about the final bonus). That just seems strange. Enzo...loosen the bullseyes....please!!! Linda the "ninja warrior"

When you bet $3.50 for the final round what were your bets before this?

The bonus round takes into account your "Average" bet size, so if you hit the other bonus rounds with bets that were between $0.50c to $1 for example before you upped your bets to $3.50 which would explain why it paid so little.

I like this game myself, hit 4 scatters a few times but never on the last round though . It is a much better game than that cold cold hearted Ice Queen one

I played this game for hours in tourney mode. Started at balance of 9k ended up at 5k before I got really bored of it. I finally hit 4 scatters going into last round all at the max tourney bet and the final payout was 105x the bet. That's not very impressive given how tough it is to get 4 scatters much less on the final round that is supposed to pay out much better. It really seems to be top weighted to that 3000x payout. It seems quite low-medium variance and very tough to get ahead in the game. I played it in real for quite a while as well and definitely not my favorite. The bonus rounds payout anywhere it seems from 10-25x tops until final round which seems like pays range from 30-100x unless you land the 5 scatters.

Feels like a lot of work put into the graphics as they are pretty kick butt for an online game but the base game and bonus payouts really are weak.

The final round will pay out a maximum of 250x bet if my maths are correct (without the scatter bonuses) which is not huge at all. This is a medium variance slot and like Fortune Falls or any other of the 3Dice slots you really do need to get the 5 scatters (which is nothing new) to get something decent.

To me though Kyoko gives much better play time and is a bit more generous in bonus rounds than some of the other 3Dice Slots, e.g winning $0.50c from a $1 bet on Fortune Falls in a whopping 3 spins x2 is very very frustrating and happens a lot.

I had another go on it last night (actually, the early hours of today) - and really wished I hadn't...

It started off OK and my balance only slowly dropped though to the 3rd bonus round, when I got 4 scatters for the first time ever and a win which took my bank back exactly to my starting figure. The 4th bonus came in a reasonable number of spins... but then it took bleedin' ages to get the 5th lot, by which time my balance was in a very sorry state indeed. To rub salt into the wound, the 5th bonus was absolutely crap - definitely the worst I have seen so far. If I recall correctly, I think it was about bet x10 - x12
Going to give this one a miss for a while now.

The problem with taking into account your average bet size is it's only factoring in the 5 spins in which you hit 3 or more scatters. That's not really your average bet size since you might play $1 per spin for 100 spins and then spin $3.50 per spin for 500 spins waiting for that 5th bonus. You might also gain 50 dollars from the first 4 bonuses and then lose 300 waiting for the last bonus.

Some people like to play around with their bet sizes. I've heard people tell me countless times how they played 2 coins and lost endlessly and then doubled their bet and got a bonus feature that paid it all back. I know a couple of different people who will tell you if Moolah isn't paying, bump your wager up for a few spins. Personally, I don't think it changes anything but I wouldn't be very happy if I was losing 60c for an hour, doubled my bet, got 3 keys but the cannons only paid for a 90c spin instead of 1.20 because of my previous wagers.

If raising your wager on the last round has very little effect on the size of the payout it leaves you with no real way to recoup your losses if that round takes forever to hit. The last time I played that game in tournament mode I won 400 at max bet after the first 4 bonus rounds and then lost 2700 waiting for the last round. If I divide those numbers by the 80 coins per line that would put me ahead by 5 bucks at minimum bet after the 4th and then down 37.50 waiting for the final. At that point raising my bet to get a better final round should be a better option since 3 scatters at minimum bet wouldn't pay back half of the 37.50.

It's like the time I played Ching Ching at minimum bet. I was up 4 dollars when I got the 6th puzzle piece and then down 20 when I got the 7th. The problem is raising my bet to recoup the 20 on the final free spin bonus isn't an option. I would have to raise it by 8 coins just to double the coin value of the bonus feature. Actually that's not a bad idea. It would off set the fact that it cuts in in half when the round is finished.

You mean the one just that hit 100 free spins with a 10x multiplier twice and still didn't pay enough to keep me in 10th place in an all video slots tournament? I guess when 160 out of 200 spins pays zero it's hard to build much of a balance.

And once again this Kyoko game took my balance in the Tenner time from $10 to $24 at 25c per spin and then spun the entire $24 to zero waiting for the final round.

By the way, the second bonus feature timed out because I wasn't at my computer. It paid $11.25 at minimum bet - 45x my wager on 3 scatters. That's much higher than I've ever won in that challenge and I didn't knock over a single can. I guess the secret is to ignore the challenges. lol

One night my average was between $2.50 and $3.50 and it paid less than it did when I played $1.00...I just couldn't figure it out. I like the Artic game too...never kissed the queen though..lol. My luck has been the pits lately.

Well that is kinda disappointing then I have hit $80, $60 and $40 odd on 50c bets in the last round (without any multipliers) so I assumed this round would always pay pretty well and with multipliers very well. Seems I could be wrong, most games with bonus rounds like this usually do say what you can win e.g 10x - 50x bet during "Skill Bonus" etc.

I would be pretty disappointed getting 50x bet in the last round since it takes so long to trigger most times.

 

[akrus88]

Gotta try this one out.
Hit 20k$ tonight at arctic adventure betting 15$ (in tournament... ). The 20k came from 18fs with 7x multiplier.

I didn't win half that with 200 spins and a 10x multiplier. Did I mention that game isn't really medium variance?

Not today.....not until now.

Second old 3Dice thread bump in as many days from me I'm afraid

However, unlike Arctic Adventure which I really like, this game is just doing my nut in. It's like they've taken the one thing that makes Fortune Falls really annoying (needing the 5-scatters to hit a good pay), and multiplied it by five!

On the plus side, the graphics and sound are gorgeous, it's a lovely slot to play, very smooth and refined, and I like the theme too. Aesthetically I prefer it to a lot of MG/Netent output.

However the bonus rounds are pretty rubbish, pseudo-skill for sure (just mash the mouse button), don't seem to pay much, and then when you finally get to the fifth SUPER-MEGA-BONUS-ROUND it can pay very little if you get it on the basic three scatters trigger.

On top of that there don't appear to be many good pays on the base game, I looped through all five bonus rounds twice, and I hit my 20x stop trigger on the base game just twice (and one of those was exactly 20x).

It's cost me nearly £100 of my balance at 50p spins and I've never even felt close to getting a decent win. At least with Fortune Falls you can hit the 5-scatters at any time, or get an upgrade to it, but on this game you need to camp out the fifth bonus round and then hope and pray you can trigger it with 4 or 5 scatters - other than that, it's just watching your bankroll slowly die a death by a thousand cuts.

This one isn't for me at all, I can't imagine I'll be returning to it again.

I've now lumped a fair wedge of spins through this slot in both real and free money mode, and it's gone up quite substantially in my estimation.

The base game is very low variance, I don't think it's even capable of paying more than 100x stake, but it does like to chuck regular wins out in the 25-75x stake range which can maintain a balance pretty nicely from one bonus round to the next.

The bonus rounds seem to have a pay range of 10-250x stake on a three scatters trigger, four scatters multiplies that to 30x-750x (x3) and five scatters is (I assume) 120x-3000x (x12).

I have to assume that's how five scatters works 'cause I've not had one yet, but I have had a few four scatters triggers.

The pay table says only the final bonus round can pay 3000x stake (which would be 250x12), so maybe the other four bonus rounds are capped at less than 250x, but generally speaking all five bonus rounds seem to be capable of paying similar amounts, at least on three and four scatters triggers. (I've had better pays on the four normal bonus rounds than I've then had from the fifth, on some runs through.)

Certainly don't write off the four normal bonus rounds as a waste of time, especially on a four scatters trigger. (I'd be very interested to see what they pay on five scatters.)

Generally speaking I'll play through all five bonus rounds once or twice per session, and then move onto something else - but this is a pretty good slot IMO, and has made it onto my 'regular list' at 3Dice.

 

[KasinoKing]

I quite like Kyoko's Quest, but you do have to make sure you have sufficient bankroll to get through the 5 stages before you start playing it. (Well, you don't HAVE to - but I always like to get to the final stage).
I've had mixed results on it (good wins & bad losses) the same as any other slot and agree it's lowish variance which usually means reasonable play-time.

Not played it recently though as my last several deposits at 3Dice have been decimated in no time, mostly by Enchanted Spins.
It's so bad I'm thinking of self-excluding myself from their casino for a month or two!

Had a pleasant surprise on this slot just now, for some unfathomable reason I'd left it at the final 'Rescue PonPon' round - I can only assume I exhausted my bankroll last time I played before triggering the last round, which is odd because I always try to make sure I have enough cash to guarantee getting through them all.

Anyway, I got a four scatters trigger (with the final scatter symbol just dropping off the bottom of the last reel ), expecting the first bonus round but it was Rescue PonPon, everything multiplied by three for the four scatters, paid 270x stake

Still yet to see a five scatters trigger for any of the rounds on this slot though, let alone the final Rescue PonPon round.
