Avalon 2 coming up!

[Jory]

My only experience in real mode on this slot is from the 50 free spins at 32red. It paid around 101% RTP but as soon as those 50 spins were over I had no real desire to carry on.

I felt I was familiar with the game even though it was my first time playing it. I personally don't care about a slots theme or animations so long as the actual game play is exciting or at least mildly amusing. It had neither. It's a combination of older games mixed into one. I saw nothing unique.

This game will appeal to new players and it gives the casino something to market for the next few months. An experience player will get bored of this game very fast and quickly move back to their old favourites.

 

[Wild Reels]

giving it another go today with £200 deposit , £200 match, playing 90p spins no more no less, going good so far, 1st bonus completed around £57, 2nd bonus total junk, a proper 5oak in the base game also, and then this dropped in missing symbols on the right as aces, interestingly have had merlin pop up with the middle real wild so could make for a super rare hit with many stacked wilds,

 

[AudiManinBoro]

I'm at ICE so not played it yet but 2 things about this thread are interesting:

1) the bonus features are obviously rare which suggests to me that there are decent wins available in the normal game and
2) everyone that hit a nice win in their first session likes it, everyone who didn't hates it LOL

..which says to me that it sounds like the variance is somewhere above medium so it sounds like just my type of game

Am now very much looking forward to having a spin at the weekend.

Thats the thing though Simmo, it does appear quite a few people have been unlucky so far but the slot has only been out one day and not everyone can get great play time or win highly on it. I think you will enjoy it yeah

I happen to be one of the few lucky ones so far it seems. It`s the only slot I played on all day yesterday and yeah ok it is a little slow, but I certainly cant complain about the features I have had. I`ve been through every bonus round right to the end 4 times so far and ive had some very nice wins on it. Loads of features, and to me the payout tables aernt that bad. As I said in a previous post I had a hit of 500 odd on a 0.60 bet, without a bonus round just by landing 2 wild reels and the avalaon lady in the middle. There have been several bonus rounds where I have won well over 200x my stake and there have been rounds ive won zip. Its just how it is, like any slot, your either lucky or your not.

Sorry mate, but I predict you WONT like it.

It's definitely very low variance - I haven't been counting, but I must be getting close to 2000 spins on it now - and my balance has barely changed.
I've had about 6 bonus features I think (just got one more to go) - all bar 2 have paid reasonably IMO (around bet x 50 = the same sort of thing as Galaxy Grab and Jason - which I like).
This is the sort of slot you need to play with as high stake as you dare - definitely not for low-rolling as you'll likely NEVER hit a decent win.
I've been playing mostly at $1.50 - throwing in a few now and again @ $3.
Visually it's fabulous - but with the apparent lack of big-win potential, I think many players will soon get bored and move on...

BTW, I notice at 32Red that the max bet is $7.50/spin. I don't know if that's because I have a bonus in play though - anyone else got a higher maximum?

KK

 

[Wild Reels]

currently sitting on £250 after finishing the first full run of the bonus round, pretty terrible run after my big win, got all excited on the last bonus round when the 4th wheel unlocked, was my best bonus round out of the lot. but gah was hoping for something more

would have been nice to post the spins data but flash casinos just love to time out :/



x line bet of 0.03 (a shade over x100)

starting round 2 im not confident ill get to the end though

Sorry KK, disagreement here. This slot is definately NOT low variance. The potential for astronomical wins on this slot is very apparent but they come round very rarely. My biggest win so far is 950 times my bet and that was by no means a top paying win with only 3 stacks of wild on a normal spin. Add the fact you can get upto 5 stacks plus the possibility of Merlin x the win by 4 and you could be looking at serious money here.

If we look at the paytable, and assuming a full screen of wilds is possible, that would pay 16200xBet. So then this looks more like an insane version of Lotr/girls with guns.
I too have been surprised by how little my balance have changed during my play.

Max bet at Betsafe is 30€.

[Wild Reels]

waiting for the last bonus round on run 2 to drop in £240 to 0 without a feature

thats my avalon test concluded, 1 decent hit then all downwhill slowly

 

[Slotster!]

Played this a little with the 32Red free spins and enjoyed it, so dropped a little deposit in @ 32Red today and had another go.

No big returns or hits to report but very much enjoyed the slot generally; well thought out and really well presented. Agreed there's some great potential for some killer screenshots.

Big thumbs up early doors from me.

 

[Balthazar]

This isn't low variance at all, it's TDK variance without the progressive. Same kind of small useless wins with the potential of very big wins that you feel you'll never get.

The difference is the bonus rounds; with TDK they almost all suck but aren't capped. With this one they capped some of them but on the others (like rolling reels) you have a better chance to win something decent than on TDK's so it even outs.

 

[dunover]

This dire slot will break a lot of balances. A yawnfest with poor wins on regular games. Time kktmd ran 1million spins on it, so we get a definite average for the feature frequency and big hits.

 

[Greigssy]

I mentioned earlier that I never hit 5 of the higher paying symbols in 1000 spins, well the fact that Betsafe are giving away large bonus amounts for getting 5 symbols shows how difficult it is to get them. (has to be 5 symbols and not a combination with wilds)

 

[Balthazar]

Time kktmd ran 1million spins on it

Agreed.

so we get a definite average for the feature frequency

It's been 1/150 pretty much forever, all accross MGS and NetEnt. I'd be surprised if they broke that "rule".

Just seen that as well.

Tried in freeplay, 1000 spins on min bet.
That`s 300 wagered, no bonus round and no higher 5OAK. So yeah, I think Betsafe is on the safe side
To be fair, was only €25 down after 1k spins. So either you hit, or lose your deposit in a very boring manner.

 

[dunover]

Agreed.

Yes, but this slot seems to have a different bonus format, and so far the consensus seems to suggest bonus rounds are hard to hit. I had one in 1k spins, and a few others have had similar bad luck on it. It provide some reassurance if it were proven to be the usual 150-ish though.
So far it's been as tight as a gnat's a$$.

 

[aceking123]

well ive tried it in three places so far & couldnt agree more with whats said , ive yet to see a feature & im not holding my breath either its poor nothing more to say low payouts endless dead spins & a very annoying man how pops his out of the corner to do pretty much nothing (

graphics are great pity they didnt spend that purse on game play !

 

[Jd666]

Started on this with a 64 quid balance.
Done 2000 spins and features dropping in not too long inbetween.
Only had 4 of a kind of one character symbol.
Best hit in base game is 33 x bet, best hit on feature is 68 x bet on rolling reels.
Had my balance go up to just over 100, but getting the last feature is taking a long time, its hardly bringing 2 scatters in let alone 3.
Balance now at 60, so all in all with 2000 spins on minimum 30p bet, I have lost just 4 quid

 

[michielm1]

it has too many features,
the features are lame,
you need a more than half decent computer,
graphics are mwah,
if you like the LOTR slot, youll dig this probably.
but i find this lame as can be

 

[eizei]

I deposited 50eur and played with 30c bet for about 500-700 spins. I hit bonus around every 100 spins and they at least 2 of them actually gave me 100x bet. The rest were around 30-70x bet. Also got a nice 300x bet in the base game. My balance went up to 190eur pretty quickly but I played until I got all the paytable achievements for 9 to A as on Unibet that gives me 100 free spins on Avalon without wagering. After I was done my balance was around 130eur but I still expect to turn an alright profit and maybe hit the last part of the bonus game before withdrawing.

I wouldn't be surprised at all for this slot to give a lot of dead spins as there is certainly potential for nice winnings.

 

[lotusch]

25 Euro deposit to try out this game on CasinoEuro tonight.
I managed to chuck out 509 spins on €0.30 and played for a good while.
Best win €10.00 and no bonus triggered yet.

So I don't know about this slot.

And is it me or can this slot actually throw full screen of wilds?
If so that would be at least something to hope for LOL.

Base pays are lame.

Unfortunatelly no bonus yet so cannot say anything about those yet.

 

[kazzi]

Its scary how many people have crazy amount of spins without a feature, my play on it in fun mode was weird also got features just fine and balance hardly moved until i was at the 2nd last feature it just eat like hell 100x just poff dident manage to try last as the slot froze up but it dosent looks that impressive.

 

[PCJACKPOT2008]

I have played it quite a bit now and I don't like it (even though i'm up).

Yes, there's great potential as with any other 243-liner. Visually great but very slow. Seems impossible to hit four or more of a character in base game. And the scatters are streaky. Three times i've hit the bonus within 100 spins and twice it's gone for more then 1k spins. Way too hard to hit the bonus.

The picking features SUCKS. Rolling Reels SUCKS. Trailing Wilds meh. Pick a Wild meh.

It's still the best Microgaming slot since Playboy. I have barely played TDKR and Secret Santa since the were released.

 

[syntynyt]

played in fun mode until i saw the feature. i wasnt able to complete the sword. the experience was meh. real money only when and if i will see screenshots that should look like IR ones, otherwise i see no reason to play just because is new.

 

[dionysus]

Well, it isn't high var like IR, isn't a clone of IR, so there's really no reason to see screenshots that should look like IR.

 

[Jd666]

After playing 2000 spins through this yesterday and only being down 4 quid, i have seen the other side to this slot this morning.

I have just lost another 30 quid with only 163 spins played on 30p bet.

Highest win as been £2.40 (8x) and that was from merlin coming on and waving his stick about.

I still havent got the last bonus feature, so thats around 800 spins since i last defeated the black night and only got 25x bet for that.

I have only had 2 scatters 3 times.

Going to try with my last 30 quid to get the last bonus.

Im just glad this was all bonus money from a casino giving 50 free spins Drwatts Up slot as i think this will be going on my no can do list

 

[jjezebel37]

I gave it another try on Betsafe as they have a promo at moment.

Same outcome as last time, after 4 hours of play i had the exact same starting balance (30p spins). So imo, it seems lowish variance but i hope someone will be playing it long enough to state otherwise.

Last £30 on 30p spins = 206 spins

2 x scatters 5 times so still no feature in about 1000 spins.

Highest win was £4.20 (14x)

The differences in yesterdays play and this mornings are worlds apart.
369 spins this morning with a £60 loss on 30 spins with a best win of 14 x bet.
Yesterday 2000 spins with a £4 loss.

Overall 2369 spins with a £64 loss.
Best win in base game was 33x bet
Best win on feature 68x bet.

Played my last 22 on centre court to zero my balance, went back to Avalon2 to grab this screenshot of high paying paytable as i filled the suits one up

 

[Patriot66]

These were my paytable stats after approximately 500 spins. Judging by those Betsafe offers, all the higher 5OAK's (with no wilds) seem as rare as Michael's on IR (even though I did hit one).

Those rewards do appear generous all the same (assuming there isn't a minimum stake).

 

[Orbmail]

Very strange win on Avalon II, the Jack was acting as an Ace, anyone else see anything like it? but besides that not impressed, lots of fraction of bet wins are annoying and very slow game play, visually nice slot though

 

[Jory]

Very strange win on Avalon II, the Jack was acting as an Ace, anyone else see anything like it?

Similar thing happened to me. The symbol on thrid reel expanded and paid 12x bet but I could not see any winning combinations.

 

[PaaskeDenmark]

Similar thing happened to me. The symbol on thrid reel expanded and paid 12x bet but I could not see any winning combinations.

Doubt it paid that symbol paid win for an A as that would impossible. But seems that any spin you get the expandable on middle reel will payout x3 no matter what.

PS that screen shot shows win of 0,90? which is 3x if bet was 0,30

If theree is no win it doesn't expand at all so as he said, some wrong symbols must have been on the screen.

 

[PaaskeDenmark]

If theree is no win it doesn't expand at all so as he said, some wrong symbols must have been on the screen.

Yes u are right And also just forget my comment LOL just had 2 Q's and middle reel wild symbol..... with 0,90 bet only paid 0,36 lol

 

[lotusch]

What a disapointment!!

2500 spins since yesterday,3 features triggered!
Paid 20x-34x-12x,trailing wilds I hoped for something nice to come in but it was actually the worst feature sofar.
2500 spins!!!! 3 features? WTF.

And the paytable?Speaks for itself!

What a disapointment,I so looked forward to this slot.
Graphs superb,running smoothly for me on my quadcore laptop,awesome music,exciting bonusrounds (can pay nice I suppose) but the amount of empty spins,very very hard to trigger features and hard to get top paying symbols makes this machine a monster,I think many bankrolls will go bust on this one.

I am really annoyed as I expected so much from this slot.

I think MGS will get a lot of negative feedback on this one.

I wont give up on it yet but it better starts warming up soon.

Argh,it seems I have to stick with IR,TFROL and TSII...

MGS did everything right for me on this slot except it doesn't seem to pay very well and I have no clue how the variance is.
With those features triggering only after 100's of spins and low base pays it doesn't make sense to me.

But I am sure if u get a few stacked wilds and a top paying symbol it can be nice for you...Add the Merlin multiplier and you could hit big on this...

But I think it is gonna be very very hard.

same here Lotusch, i am not giving up. Just deposited another £100 with no wins above 10xbet (30p)

I think it's gonna throw me a kicker hehe (i wish)

 

[dionysus]

I gotta wonder what the order is, if any, on release dates.
Guts, BETAT, Next, Casino Luck, Videolsots for example, don't have it out yet.

 

[Jd666]

Just took me 499 spins to get the last bonus feature.
So with yesterdays play it has taken approx 1500 spins.
Paid 102 x bet
Only because it locked the last wheel, if it didnt unlock it then you could be looking at a maximum of around 33x bet.
It then flashed up an amount of over 100 quid and I thought great, you must get a decent bonus for completing all the rounds.
No, it was just a total of all bonus rounds played dammit.
Evilon2 has had its last spin from me

 

[ChopleyIOM]

It's too early to call it for sure overall on this one, but having given it about three thousand spins in free play last night this is clearly not a low variance slot - let's make that much clear.

The max pay (as has already been noted) and assuming it's on the paytable (it's certainly on the reels) for all five reels stacked wild is 16200x stake. Low variance slots do not have 16200x stake pay potential. (We'll run on the assumption that the dude won't turn up with a multiplier for that.)

Having done a couple of loops of all the bonus rounds (and taking a different route where you get the choice so I've seen them all), my early impression is that MG have attempted to tame the insane variance of their slots with bonus rounds that tend to pay reasonable wins but are capped, so that even if the base game is being cruel to you, the bonus rounds will at least kick a bit of something back. (Although the free spins round certainly appear to have big pay potential.)

It's possible that they've lowered the frequency of big pays and distributed that RTP further down the paytable, which may well be where the 'balance maintaining' sessions are coming from, but it's effectively impossible to make a call on that after such a tiny spin sample.

I managed a 335x win on the base game during my 3000 spins, and assuming the reels are 'fair' there are clearly far bigger hits than that in there.

Let's wait to see the screenshots of this one as the days and weeks move on, because I suspect we'll be seeing some whoppers out of this slot.

(Aesthetically I think it's lovely, needs to be in quick spin for the base game but overall the graphics, sound and music are extremely well done IMO. I can imagine the capped bonus rounds getting pretty tedious when you're losing badly and need a big hit to recover, but that'd be a case of understanding that not all the bonus rounds are capable of doing that, and remembering that the base game is always immediately capable of dropping a whopper into your lap.)

 

[Jory]

Doubt it paid that symbol paid win for an A as that would impossible. But seems that any spin you get the expandable on middle reel will payout x3 no matter what.

I definitely had a 12x win without any winning combinations. The expandable symbol landed on reel 3 and it blinked while the win counted up. I could not see any winning combinations.

I should be able to locate it in playcheck so will be interesting to see what the payout was for.

 

[Balthazar]

this is clearly not a low variance slot - let's make that much clear.

Of course not. Small wins ≠ low variance.

The max pay (as has already been noted) and assuming it's on the paytable (it's certainly on the reels) for all five reels stacked wild is 16200x stake.

Four stacked wild reels alone would easily land a win north of 1000x, just as many other mixtures of wilds on all 5 reels (and that's not including the potential multiplier).

There are many monster wins hidden in that slot but when you have a slot that can pay in the base game at least as much as the IR's Wild Desire bonus, you have to expect to not see these wins very often.

Is there any other slot that has the potential to pay this much in the base game? Girls With Guns isn't even close and neither is TDK. This might be the highest variance slot ever released by MGS; with small wins, low paying bonus rounds and rare HUGE wins that are hijacking a large part of the RTP, progressive jackpot style.

 

[kktmd]

Reelset 0 (base game). Freeplay.

EDIT: ....dont know why line 81 is on there twice ;-(

 

[lotusch]

LOL the amount of low paying symbols...

 

[kiwi69]

long time lurker

hi guys

just wanted to let you know i hit $550 aud from a 90c bet on the base game today after about 90 spins..was three rows of wilds 1 full i think and the queen lady. pretty good hit. few other small wins. sorry no screen shot. too dumb to know how at the time...anyways back to it

 

[Balthazar]

Reelset 0 (base game).

Oh man that's awesome! We can now calculate the odds!

So you've got 1 chance in 78 to land the full stacked wilds on reel #1, 1 in 107 on #2, 1 in 109 on #3, 1 in 109 on #4 and 1 in 98 on #5.

Your chance of landing the full screen of wilds is...

1 in 9,717,564,948

So 1 in nearly 10 Billion?

Am I doing this right?

 

[kktmd]

Your chance of landing the full screen of wilds is...

1 in 9,717,564,948

So 1 in nearly 10 Billion?

Am I doing this right?

Since the counter starts at 0, it should be (1/79)*(1/108)*(1/110)*(1/110)*(1/99)=1/10.220.482.800

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Since the counter starts at 0, it should be (1/79)*(1/108)*(1/110)*(1/110)*(1/99)=1/10.220.482.800

So if the reels are fair and random, it's a one in TEN POINT TWO BILLION chance to hit all five reels wild?

 

[Balthazar]

That's one win I won't be chasing. Did anyone bother to calculate the odds to get the bonus?

 

[tinybettor]

So about 1 in 103 million to get four reels wild. No bloody thankyou!
