Amazing Thunderstruck, NOT

I started out with $45 so in all fairness, I did get features, but....
963 spins without freespins a single time baffles me. Like anyone else I play thunderstruck because of the free spins feature, and on should think it wasn't possible to do almost 1k spins without getting those f*** rams at least once!!

 

Don't worry. Microgaming only want, that Thunderstruck-addicts change their game... to new ones

 

963 spins - that's got to be some kind of record!

It's funny (NOT) how that happened last time new games came out too....

Last time I played Thunderstuck, I got feature on spin ONE!

But all too often I see 300-400 featureless spins - and when the features do come they're usually crap.

Apart form the neat graphics and great lightening sound when Rams appear , I can't really see the great attraction of so many, to this worse-than-average slot.

 

I've noticed lately that when the rams finally make an appearance, I don't win anything until about 8th spin or so and then it is minimum amounts. Have had better luck at Ladies Nite and Tally-Ho.

 

Thunderstruck used to be my goto game. You know, when you get down to your last $5, you could count on getting back up to atleast $20 to go somewhere else. TO HELL WITH THAT NOW. Ladies night has been very loose (at Jupiter Club) the last 2 weeks. I hit free spins and then hit 5 ladies within them. So there was a little over $500.
Woke up the next morning and like the dedicated gambler I am....Eat breakfast with a side of Slots. Just about a hour into it, I hit spins again, (not the first time of the morning) I hit 5 of those perfume bottles w/wild. Over $500 again. So, I figure it was all spun out. I goto Spring Break, (I hated this game) and after a few, hit 5 of those Red Trucks with the guy w/Wilds. $125 I think, on a .90 spin. Just 2 spins after that "FREE SPINS" for $130. All in all, after my wife getting involved (taking her turns lol) I cashed out $950 and I had it in Neteller within 24 hrs. Of course I contacted Live support to cancel the 24 hr pending time. NO REVERSE FOR ME.......

All this started from $40 that I had won from Casino Extreme (RTG). I deposited $25 into Casino Extreme, played Goldbeard...(seems to be the best for giving Free spins). Had $8 left and hit spins. Ended up hitting over $550 on that round of spins. SO OF COURSE I PASSED "GO" AND COLLECTED MY $500. (Sorry I was playing the monopoly game at Virgin Games. In ley terms...I went to live support and requested a cashout and had it in Neteller within 3 mins).

I will put pics up as soon as my lazy ass reloads my Graphics software to convert from .BMP to .Jpegs. Had to reformat my puter about a month ago and I havent put anything back except casinos....That's a damn shame....

 

As a long-time fan of Tstruck, even i have to admit it seems different in recent weeks. Maybe coincidence, maybe not but i'm certainly starting to play more video poker now.

I'm not normally a conspiracy theorist but something definately seems to have changed regarding the free spins feature and as you rightly say, this is the feature that keeps you coming back. But it just aint producing for me recently. One decent hit in a month doesn't do it for me. Ah well.

 

I know the feeling. Last year I played 1086 spins without getting 3 rams.. It seems to me also that Thunderstruck is a lot tighter than it used to be.

 

It seems that free spins are now harder to get in Tomb Raider as well. Used to get them every 50 spins or so, I was up to 400 when I stopped playing it.

 

I started out with $55 tonight and did pretty good. I think I got up to around $1,500 and just cashed out at $1,000...although sometimes I don't get squat with it.

 

What, just playing Thunderstruck?

 

i agree that it seems like they continue to play with this game. i swore off of it after last years nightmare... last week i finally played again and lucky me i played 540 spins at 2.25-4.50 per and finally hit the rams on a 2.25 spin....i made a whopping 35 dollars on the bonus and the highest hit on the 540 spins was a little more than 20 dollars. seems almost impossible. microgamming execs you wrecked a good game and at least with me some of your reputation!

 

Well I did play a little Ladies Night but it sucked, so mostly I won it all on Thunderstruck.

 

I thought maybe it was just me the viking hated. lol
I've noticed all the things mentioned here, no rams,
and if you are lucky to hit them, you get very little.
The worst for me was at Bella, on a 90 cent bet
got the rams, ended up with only the orignal rams in bonus
spin, like $4 or something. Anyone else notice you get
repeat spins??? Like 2 9's, 2 horns, 2 something else
over and over. Never see 4 rams anymore either.
I'm back to video poker, at least I get more play.
