Q&A Ask Me Anything about Slots (AMA) 2020 with Trancemonkey

Ah yes as @The Reel Story says they fit what you looking for, affectively a bonus guarantee of 25x but the down side your going to struggle to get north of 300x

@Bezz89 try some of the “hold and win” type games where you need to land 5-6 balls containing values on them to access the bonus round. At a minimum you’ll win the values of the six balls. They certainly aren’t big payers but you might appreciate the lower volatility they offer.

Honestly ATM no matter what site I use what game I use the results are beyond shocking. This week all week really easy can deposit £100 get no scatter on 20p spins I honestly don't get it. Currently gone easy 1000+ spins no scatter. The worst one is the pub casino it has high ratings but no idea how it dead spins like mad to zero for me you don't get a chance to play. I'm not even bothered by losing it's just id like to scatter atleast it's robbery to wager £350+ on several games and get 1 scatter from 2 hours of play I try logging in and out to change it up but luck stays exactly the same always it feels anything but random. Honestly be better off playing those 10p machines at the seaside ??
Mostly with hold and wins they've been like you said solid but not spectacular I've only had a blank once a twice so you're not wrong.

Sometimes they can pay a decent win. Picked up this 306x on a hold and win type game earlier tonight…

I've had to stop really, dunno what's going on but can't bonus can't win at all last like 5-7 days. I think cause I left bad reviews im just getting robbed blind now ? cause yeah every site is self deleting my deposits rapidly dead spins to 0 even if I deposit like £50-100 and play 20p spins. I dread to think how many spins since last scatter 1000s and must've made 15-20 deposits without withdrawing probably made 2-3 deposits since a scatter so yeah definitely time to stop.
Hope everyone having better luck than me this week

Hi all

As the other thread ( Ask me anything (about slots)!),has grown in size to the point where going through it for anyone new would be tedious at best, and impossible at worst, I thought it might be a good idea to start another one.

Let's try and keep this to new members who want to ask someone who works in the industry making games any questions they have OR the usual bunch IF you have new questions or discussions.

So, people, once again - Ask Me Anything

Hi @trancemonkey

I’m going to ask a question about gameplay. I was playing slots last night and I was doing ok, I was up a few quid. I had a big win them a little while after that I got disconnected from the game, the casino just went off, finally went back on about half hour later, firstly it didn’t ask me to login, which had never happened. But then my gameplay was bad and when I say bad I mean unbelievably bad. I spun 350 spins of various stakes, of those 350 spins I had just 8 net wins, (by that I mean total staked before a win) these are the net wins:

From 82 x £2 spins:
I had15 wins
11 wins were net losses
2 wins broke even
2 wins were net gains of £6.50 & £1.00

From 189 x £1 spins:
I had 33 wins
30 wins were net losses
1 win broke even
2 wins were net gains of £1.00 & £2.00

From 58 x 40p spins:
I had 12 wins
10 wins were net losses
2 wins were net gains of £2.20 & 20p

From 32 x 20p spins:
I had 7 wins
5 wins were net losses
2 wins were net gains of 20p & 20p

56 wins with net losses of £235.85
8 wins with net gains of £13.30

Hopefully it makes sense

I know it’s all random, but surely this can’t be just a coincidence.

In the "Fishin' Frenzy even bigger fish" game I got the Pick a Fish feature and one of the 2 not taken options was "Mega". Is this slot gaslighting me or are the not taken options genuine?

This is in the UK. I seem to remember some legislation that prevented fake choices, I know there used to be a lot of really obvious fake pick-a-prize games.

Online games can offer fake choices... With land based games, it depends on the jurisdiction. In the US, you can't reveal the other options UNLESS it was a true pick

The British love a bit of Jim Bowen syndrome - "Now let's have a look at what you could have won!"

Welcome back.

whoa! who is this guy?

Still think of ya now and again.

 

[SlotWhisperer]

I don't think the games can show a prize behind the unveiling, that can't actually be won? I know it will be pre-determined and weighted towards lower values but I thought you couldn't (Or shouldn't, if not for legality, for best practice and not being misleading) show a prize that could never be won in the picker?
