Best slots for base hits

[Playford7]

Just wondering what slots are best for huge base hits as I’ve been outta the game for a while, I don’t play any crypto slop so ideally no bonus buy games etc.

Zeus vs hades I’ve had over 1000x base, same for San quentin, also danger before.

Mainly been hammering doa 98 at all British, last few weeks about 14k spins, obviously tiny sample size alas no wildline as yet, had 2 +5 that’s it.

I would say NLC has many games that can hit big in the basegame, pragmatic also have a couple of them (like the one you mentioned)
I know Fruit party 1 & 2 (pragmatic) can hit the 5000x max win in the basegame, i dont really play a lot of NLC slots but i would guess that many of their newer releases can probably hit big in the base.

Technically most megaways slots can hit big in the basegame but very rarely do.

You could look around in the 1000x+ screenshot thread and see if you can find some inspiration but i think its mainly bonus wins posted in there.

Piggy Riches Megaways can pay well in the base game. Played it for years. Get 3 wilds up and you're laughing.

If you want some play time, frequent bonuses (though most of them are shite) and a base game that can give monster wins, then try Fire in the Hole 2 by NLC. I find it plays best with the extra bet on. Gives a bonus every 50 or so spins.

Another good NLC game that gives frequent bonuses but isn't as kind in the base game is The Crypt. With the extra bet on, it again usually gives a bonus every 50 spins or so - most of them are crap but just like me, can also give some monster wins

zeus vs hades has the most frequent big wins in basegame.

as mentioned already, some nlcs can go crazy in the basegame too.
i had great basegame hits on mental 2 and home of the brave.

All the BTG games such as Bonanza (150x basegame win yesterday) Extra Chilli and Megaways games in general. DOA isn't great for basegame wins in my experience but just for keeping your balance going for a while.

Agreed, wwtbm is good for base also, had 600x a few weeks back.
Not played chilli in years haha!.

If you are looking for slots with decent base game payouts, medium-volatility or classic titles are usually the way to go. Most modern highly volatile slots shift almost all their RTP into the bonus features, leaving the base game feeling pretty dry.

A couple of good examples include Drive Multiplier Mayhem by NetEnt, where wild multipliers can turn regular spins into solid hits, and Play'n GO's Reactoonz, which can chain nice cluster wins even without triggering the main feature. Older 243-way games with strong paytables for 5-of-a-kind hits also hold up well. It really comes down to checking how RTP is split between the base and features.

That's very audacious. The Crypt at minimum stake (0,20) with the extra bet on is 0,60. That game is more than capable of ripping a balance to shreds in 100s of spins with 50+ teases and no bonus. Ask me how I know.

My experience is different. Yes it can occasionally go quite but I find it gives play time more often than not.

I guess no different to any other slot reading this forum where some users get good hits and play whilst others experience differently.

Exactly. That’s why I always double-check RTP settings and slot specs beforehand, especially when testing new platforms. Sites with localized casino and slot reviews — like <snip> — usually show whether a casino is running the maximum RTP version or a reduced one, which makes a massive difference for base game survival.

Fair point. NLC games are definitely hit-or-miss depending on the session, and the extra bet mechanic really speeds up how fast the balance swings. I guess with high volatility titles, one player gets decent base hits while another gets 100 dry spins in a row — it all comes down to where you catch the variance.

It's interesting how everyone can have different experiences from the same slots because mine has been completely the opposite.

I played bonanza over 7 months and DoA solidly again for a few months now and in that time DoA has dropped in more 5oak sheriff for me than bonanza 100x+ hits and I've left DoA 100x+ up more times than I ever did bonanza just from the base game playing well (and crap bonuses adding up).

To answer the thread question I see a lot of 'book' slots have huge wins for the top symbols but they must be pretty rare to land.

I hit a 500x top symbol on one of them when I used to play them a lot but I've seen ones like Legacy of Dead with 5000x for 5 scatter and 5oak top symbol. Even the next symbols pay pretty well but again I haven't landed them and they must be rare.

For me, it's been a simple solution.

Going back to those who don't offer extra bets and feature buys. NLC, Hacksaw, and Pragmatic are nightmares and balance suckers.

Old-school NetEnt titles seem to be more stable — but then again, Evo has nuked most of them, and some just don't play the same.

I tried around 20 or more NetEnt games a few days a week for a couple of months (on max RTP no less) after steering well clear for years and I have to say, they're as garbage as I thought. It's ELK with different graphics.

Doesn't matter what question you ask you're going to get the same recommendations here, BTG and NetEnt. They suck ass, don't fall for it. Stick with NLC/Hacksaw, they actually pay.

I see what you did there, innovative spammer, basically adding your link and extra text in the quote to cloak it.

You tried right? Sadly, you were caught. Adios!

ELK studios slots are utter piles of dog s**t.

If they just made them with normal mechanics, they would have been one of the best.
The graphics and music are great! They just don't pay very well and feel completely scripted.

So, you're saying that NETENT has become on ELK's level? Wow.

Yep, that's NetEnt.
