nice. mine is just the wheel so obviously just selected people with this bonus.. and i am in club rouge.

 

[dionysus]

lol, whats the prize wheel gift today?..better or worse?

 

[LOOKAWAY]

Maybe the 200% bonus is the CM sub?

 

[dionysus]

I'm already a depositor

 

[ChopleyIOM]

My mega wheel of fortune prize for today was 'DEPOSIT 25 and GET 10 FREE'.

Oh well, free money mode for Battlestar Galactica it is then

I really don't know why 32Red are so measly with their bonuses. Just slap a 35xB WR on them, and given MG's less than stellar RTPs, it's not like they're kicking sacks of free cash out of the door.

 

[wobble33]

lol, whats the prize wheel gift today?..better or worse?

club rouge deposit £50 get £25..

Microgaming's press release:

5th December 2012

ISLE OF MAN – Today, Microgaming (www.microgaming.co.uk), the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, launches its revolutionary Battlestar Galactica™ video slot.

Based on the critically acclaimed science-fiction drama, the Battlestar Galactica (BSG) video slot has been developed by Microgaming through a licensing agreement with NBCUniversal Television Consumer Products.

Battlestar Galactica is a gripping saga focusing on humanity’s last remnants and their struggle to find a new home whilst fleeing their deadly Cylon enemies. Celebrating its 35th Anniversary in 2013, Battlestar Galactica has become a globally recognised brand. In 2003, BSG captured the minds of a new generation of fans when Universal Cable Productions remade BSG into an action-packed, drama filled mini-series. The mini-series enjoyed strong international appeal with the series finale reaching over 14million viewers worldwide. Microgaming’s Battlestar Galactica game captures all of the excitement of the television series that became a worldwide phenomenon.

The BSG video slot immerses the player into a gripping audio-visual experience with a star studded cast of characters. Among the technological advances in its gameplay is an innovative Achievement Ranking System, which unlocks more video content for the player as they move through the game. In addition, the slot features different modes, including ‘Run’ and ‘Fight’ that a player can enter at any time.

Roger Raatgever, CEO of Microgaming, comments: “Our portfolio of branded games has been strengthened considerably by the addition of Battlestar Galactica. Battlestar Galactica, an iconic sci-fi brand, provides an ideal theme for us to create an online slot game – and we are extremely excited about the launch. With superior graphics and a host innovative features, we are confident that we have created a great gaming experience reflective of the iconic nature of the brand. ”

Played the game now for 2 hours on a low bet at Spin Palace.
Its very similar to Immortal Romance & Thunder Struck II.

Managed to get the bonus game a few times, but no big luck.
Got a few good 5 in a rows though in normal game.
Also got the Ion Storm with 2 wild rows on the 2 first reels, but no good symbols.
Wild row on the first reel possible in normal mode.

The Run & Fight mode (random) are ok & a bit fun, but not sure if its better than normal mode.
In the Run mode youll get some extra random symbols when the Timer show up on the third reel.
Can be really good if your lucky. you get paid from left to right & right to left. There is no row of wild in here & no bonus game.
In the Fight mode you get paid left to right only. You can get random wilds sometimes. The bonus game is just 5 spins, but can be extra in it.

The experience bar & unlock more video content im not sure about. If its just videos or something more?

Here is a win in the Run mode

Holland will (probably) sell their state-owned casinos... According to Todd "Of course, the Dutch have always been very progressive."

Well, they're losing money so they just want to get rid of them. Good thing about gambling being legalised in the Netherlands, but I've never understood why we are allowed already to play online (except for some casinos)? Would it mean that we have to pay 30% taxes on gambling wins?? How would they check that? IMO, we're already paying more than enough taxes as it is.

lol, um...what?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I've had this churning away in free money mode for a chunk of the evening and it seems alright, feels a bit less crazy variance than TS2/IR and there's a reasonable amount going on.

All the fancy graphics drove me nuts after a bit though, and it runs far too slowly in normal spins - so I've put the graphics down to basic and everything on quick spin, including free spins. Makes the game a lot quicker and 'cleaner'.

I may actually give this a go with some real cash.

 

[Tirilej]

This was a fun slot
Ion Storm 3 reels wild
30c bet and I stopped when I was $100 up

 

[vinylweatherman]

I gave it a go (free mode of course for the first outing). Really good sound and graphics (new machine remember) ), no need to downgrade to basic. However, it became clear that the sound and show was to distract from the considerable speed with which it ate credits. I got the random run mode, where despite wins paying both ways, my balance still kept on plummeting. Lastly, fight mode, and yet more distractions from the inexorable march south of my credits.

It may APPEAR low variance, but I suspect it is actually pretty high variance. Free spins cannot be won during run mode, which went on for almost 100 spins. I suspect all modes are equal in terms of RTP, just differences in variance. The big pays must still be concentrated in the rare combinations involving the stacked wilds, and during free spins. The ION mode can of course cough up all 5 reels wild and produce the highest possible win, but only in normal mode, it cannot be triggered in run or fight mode.

 

[Respin_Ftw]

Im still slapping myself for actually trying this game in real. Where is the slot that pays big money nowadays? I dont want to wait for an Ion Storm to give me 4 wild reels to win 1000x.


I rather stick to the bastard slot DoA all days in the week.

 

[colly]

Have to agree with VWM on this one- looks better than it is due to its busyness on screen- my worst outing was also in the stage which has wins l to r and r to l- feature arises most in stage 3 where you get the extra wilds etc- No wins exceeded 50times even with wilds- better for playtime than the dark night but not one I would rush to play again- Bring back the original LOTR (I loved that slot)

 

[Seventh777]

Remembering around a year ago and MGS new slots lacking both uniqueness and creativity - the past several months I have actually been looking forward to the beginning of a new month and the release of new MGS slots, was December releases worth waiting for?, well as of yet i've only tried BG and found it to be both entertaining and exciting to play, the different modes and mini features of which there are several are mostly unique and fun. I like the idea of both achievements and ranking up as you gain experience, really looking forward to the arrival of my new PC and being able to watch the videos in HQ as they are opened.

Footnote:- About time I played a 243 win line MGS slot that has a random make all reels wild feature, and hit something worth hitting, a x3 reel ION Storm feature hitting 81 winning lines and yielding a x216 bet size return...........





My 1st impression is wtg MGS I like this slot - a lot .

 

[ilovejesus]

hi i love this game

 

[Balthazar]

I've spent the last few hours playing. One important thing that you have to keep in mind is that the RUN mode and the FIGHT mode are NOT "bonus rounds". They are just different modes, they eat your credits and appear to have the exact same RTP as the base mode. It's confusing (it was done on purpose I'm sure) as they look just like a bonus round, with the new color and new music like you'd expect from free spins or legit bonus rounds.

Remember that real bonus rounds cost nothing once triggered.

I've not decided yet if I like it or not. I usually love this kind of slot but I don't know, it doesn't give me the same "big win potential" feeling as IR, TDK or even LoF. I initially felt the same with Break Away, which I still don't like to this day.

We'll see.

 

[Jd666]

Logged into 32Red and no prize wheel, got a pop up offering me a 200% bonus but only for £10, giving me £30.
Went onto BG.
Just playing on 30p bet.
Got ion feature 3 times but it only gave me 2 wild reels every time.
Normal mode sucked my balance, Run mode seemed to be the best for me as it always increased my balance thanks to the timer symbol, so i upped my bet to 60p a few times on this.
Got run mode 5 times, only got fight mode once which was rubbish.
Got the random wilds twice on fight mode which were rubbish, 2nd time only gave me 1 wild even though there were 7 or 8 spaceships on screen blasting away.
It finally sucked my balance dry on the 5th run mode which only brought timer symbol in once giving me 5 kings.
Disapointing thing was, i never got free spins feature playing nearly 1000 spins.

Here is the stats screenshot from a £30 balance, the highest wins were on run mode when i upped to 60p

This slot will also be very useful for wager challenge events as it has an "until STOP" autoplay setting. What I wasn't able to find out though was whether it carries on past free spins or not. The only thing that stopped it was a promotion to the next rank, but these soon get far apart.

With a max bet of £15, it has to be considered high variance by MGS else a larger max bet would be available.

Thankfully, it is NOT yet another Mega Moolah variant sapping the base game's RTP to the high 80's%

 

[Simmo!]

Just finished Old / Expired Link for those who can't play it.

Actually I like it. It's clearly based on Dark Knight/LOTR but throws in the extra things like the 3 modes and the random wild reels a la TS2/IR. Like most movie/big brand slots it's been built primarily to entertain so variance is lower but still, I can see potential here. In the first few hours I played it I definitely prefer it to DK or LOTR anyway.

 

[bonustreak]

Thanks for the video my friend nothing like a good tease

 

[AudiManinBoro]

Is it released on 32Red download yet? Ive reloaded the casino several times and its still not showing up on the new games for me annoyed much lol

After testing it in both fun and real mode for a while I have a strong feeling the run mode is not a normal slot where each reel is independent of the other reels. The big win in this mode would come from hitting a lot of the 10,J,Q,K,A symbols on the reels then getting them replaced all by the same higher paying symbol.

In 100 spins, which should be a good enough sample, the average amount of low symbols showing on reels 1,2,4,5 was 6.47, reel 3 is irrelevant. A total of 6 spins had only one on each of these reels.

Over several bonus symbol hits the average of symbols that got replaced was 4.7 with about 50% being 4 low symbols being replaced and while when not hitting the bonus there were quite often 7-9 low symbols showing on reels 1,2,4,5, I never hit the bonus with more than 6.

This really shouldn't be happening unless reel 3 isn't independent of the other reels and misleads the player about potential wins and the frequency of them.

I'm sorry to bang this drum again, but seriously, why does anyone still think, for just one second, that what you're seeing on modern video slots are anything even vaguely resembling traditional reelstrips?

Admittedly it's often more obvious on Microgaming slots than other softwares, but there are quite a few NetEnt slots that are just as bad.

I don't see it as a problem as such, as long as the player simply accepts that he's watching an optical illusion in terms of 'near misses' and suchlike. The Battlestar Galactica 'run' mode is clearly using entirely fake 'reelstrips', as does the little timer thing that appears, which appears to give equal weighting to all the possible symbols but lands on 10-A about 80% of the time.

In the simplest of terms, think of the 'reels' on modern video slots as the progressive wheel on Mega Fortune, or the progressive wheel on Dark Knight/LOTR etc - what you see onscreen is in no way representative of the true odds of a given outcome being achieved, in the same way that your chances of hitting the top progressive on Dark Knight aren't 1 in 30, or however many segments there are on the wheel.

 

[dionysus]

nothing exciting, but did at least finally get something in the timer bonus other than a number/letter card

Just because you think this does not mean it's true, and while there are a lot of conspiracy theories around about casinos, I do think most people here agree on how slots are supposed to work. This is the first time I have seen a video slot fake the reel strips. I'm not talking about chances on bonus rounds or similar, those are obviously weighted, but so far all video slots have conformed to how we expect a slot to work and this one doesn't.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

but so far all video slots have conformed to how we expect a slot to work and this one doesn't.

Each to their own

Anyone who can play, for example, Bruce Lee (WMS slot at Jackpot Party) and tell me they're watching genuine reel strips spin by seriously needs to get their eyes tested.

(And this is coming from someone who would probably list Bruce Lee as his favourite online slot of all time.)

i dont see too, but try to search it in search field for me work

Same here its not in my download version ? tried the search nada ?

 

[xxshepxx]

The only thing decent about this slot is that every win over 10x stake no longer sets off the bells and big win video.

I played £10 through on 30p stake @ Ladbrokes,.

Lasted 10 mintutes, got a £12 win, and that symbol on the 3rd reel on run mode rarely gives anything other than q,j,10,a (rubbish symbols)

The once it did (after 6 attempts) it gave me the £12 win,

Biggest problem I have is the pays seem pretty low,

 

[ChopleyIOM]

This is a low-medium variance slot IMO, I've kicked a load of spins through it in free play and quite a few in real money too.

Yes it does have the full five reels wild on the paytable somewhere, but overall it's nothing like IR/TS2 IMO.

Just whack the graphics to basic, kick everything into quick spin mode, and lash away at it in free money mode, it doesn't do anything like the harsh balance increase/decrease that the higher variance 243 way slots are capable of.

 

[De Beuker]

That runmode thingy gave me 160x bet the first time I got it.
Nice!

 

[09237653]

Ive rinsed this a bit now, 30p play, biggest win was £18 (2 reel ionstorm with 5x bald guys)
got the free spins twice (£6 and £11) ion storm comes up a lot seen it maybe 5-6 times so far.

it gave me run mode several times, which sucks tbh, no scatters in play so no free spins trigger is possible and in the VERY rare occasion the red timer thing comes in on reel 3 it always adds 10s or jacks.
no sign of fight mode yet, I assume its better than run mode as it happens so rarely?

overall opinion, its ok nothing great, nice fancy gfx but annoying videos you cant skip.

will probably play it again in the future.

I give it 3/5
