New Slot Announcement Big Time Gaming - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

[steveh35]

I do not get this no one will go for 50 spins, if you got 20 spins in Bonanza or Chilli you would be happy so why wouldn't you be happy getting 20 in this and if you don't get to 50 so what it only takes one spin with a good mulitplier from the 20 to get a decent hit

 

[goatwack]

Just shocked they haven't included a 'Gamble up to 1 million spins!' feature. They missed a trick there

Or they could have launched a Mega Moolah style jackpot across BTG games or something similar.

 

[Jono777]

Sure certain streamers will be blowing thousands to gamble up to the 50 spins

*Post not aimed at ALL streamers!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

What an appalling slot creation that is.

Cheers for the video dunover, decent watch. I grudgingly respect the way you toed the industry party line and tried to cough out that it looks like 'not a bad game at all', after losing four out of five feature gambles to zero spins and only getting 48x when you actually got a feature.

Not a game I'll be troubling with any real cash.

 

[KinverDee]

This could be so good !

 

[lotusch]

Seen Dunovers video and YES another no go slot from Bad Time Gaming.
Same system, same atrocious amount of spins needed to get the feature which then simply pays you crap 99 out of 100 times.
Oh and of course the good ol' gamble my free spins from 8 to 0 after 1500 spins to even get that far.

Good luck whoever is willing to spend real cash on this.

Well I only had around 900 spins so wasn't expecting miracles!

Yes, we need a 'Judith Keppel' invincible mode on the gamble to get straight to 50, and the 'Magic Major' to appear randomly during the gambles to **cough** when you hover over the right choice answer to win the gamble....

I've a feeling we'll see more 10,000x + wins on here than other Megaways games.

 

[goatwack]

The designers are positively revelling in how their games deliver less whilst promising more. I don't think anyone else can touch them on that front, it's a fine art

Ain't no one gonna be seeing 10,000xs on their games. The only game of theirs that could produce it with an outside chance is Bonanza, and we all know how that promise turned out. They've also peaked creatively with that release, everything else is just filler.

Any news on when they plan to release The Emperor's New Clothes?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Yes I did have a LOL at the Ingram section

Like I said dunover, a good video and fun to watch, but I can't help but feel you went into turd polishing mode right at the end.

How many players do you think want to see 80% of their 'features' disappear into nothing because they dared to have a single gamble to get up from the derisory base level of 8 free spins? Feature gambling shouldn't be a thing at all, we're already gambling just by playing online slots, dangling a nonsensical '50 FREE SPINS AT AN UNLIMITED MULTIPLIER' carrot above players' heads is horeshittery of the lowest order - as you note yourself in the video, how many increasingly reckless gambles is a player expected to make to get to the 'golden round'?

I'd be more than happy to see the UKGC step in on both feature buys and feature gambles. We all know full well that there's a fine line between fun and addiction when it comes to gambling, and we've all seen enough horror stories on these very forums to that effect, (most recently an active member who had a night from hell and lost thousands), do we really need enticements like this slot presents to players?

I hope BTG are just a one-hit wonder with Bonanza, and that players will get wise to their shenanigans.

 

[09237653]

So its basically Extra chilli but with 12 levels of gamble, I think ill pass.

Is that your final answer?

 

[09237653]

'cough' yes it is.

 

[Harry_BKK]

I will take $200 when it is released and gamble every feature as high as it goes. Let's see if I make it past the 20 spins once. Well, first I have to get the feature, that might be a problem in the first place.

I agree with the sentiment that the 50 Free Spins is a BIG CARROT dangled in front of the eyes of addicted gamblers. Absolutely irresponsible from an RG point of view. I saw once a video on YT how somebody blew EUR5K on Extra Chilli in less than 5 minutes, buying features at EUR500 a piece and losing them all. Millionaire might be even worse.

 

[snorky510238]

Another thing I would like to know regarding bonus rounds. I for 1 am convinced bonus rounds are predetermined what you see in the spins is purely for show and there could be millions of ways of arriving at the x said amount. There aren’t many games I can think of where extra spins means extra wins. The potential may be higher but proves nothing so how do we know that extra spins will actually yield a higher win. Just say you had 8 spins and the predetermined bonus was that one in a million btg hit of £300. Obviously you don’t know so you gamble for 10 spins and are successful, how do you know the amount it will now give you is even higher. It could be the same and the gamble was immaterial or it could be less you wouldn’t know. Just by getting a higher amount of spins it guarantees nothing as we all know if you have 6 or 7 dead spins in a row it negates the fact you had 16 to start with. Also what happens to all the winnings that would have come from the 8 spins that are lost. I have to assume they go into the (hidden jackpot) and when there is a few grand in the sack 1 lucky punter will scoop the lot post a big splash about it and the btg wagon will roll on.

Exactly! No doubt the bonus is predetermined upon triggering, yet the opportunity to waste one's hard-earned free spins is very much in the here and now

 

[JGslots]

Going to give this one a good go for sure. It certainly looks like the potential is there, but can it deliver?

I've been playing this ages now and the feature is just simply very volatile. You do get a far higher frequency of 'all-the-ways' spins in the bonus and as we know even in the base game these can be huge, so this is what I mean about 10k x bet hits, get a good one of these on a 6-10x multiplier say and it'll be happy days and this WILL happen, believe me.

More than likely, but only on a certain streamers channel as per...(not you btw!)

 

[sapit222]

Ill give it a try when it goes live, but i hate the gamble feature and almost never use it.
Its great to get more spins of course, but to not get any spins at all, thats the same as not getting a bonus... :axeman2: :machinegunner: :sniper:

 

[trancemonkey]

Surely you would gamble to 50 if you guaranteed to get at least 20 why not 20 is a good amount.

Well let's see... Maybe you're right

 

[aceking123]

Come on anyone trying to defend btg really needs a check over. There clearly is not a slot online which is truely random, every penny & every bonus is predetermined period.

Btg games are no different irresponsible online to be honest & festering gambling addicts into concaine habits, not a single software has produced such bent games in gambles compenstated slots brought from old school uk slots,they even nicked some symbols from old uk fruit machines on some of its developed slots. not one gamble is random at all, its all bullshit so why try to defend it. They come up with one diffetent mechanic after many failures. Now lets rinse a repeat & grab as much money from players as possible.

Btg says gimped slots. Clearly not just stating this slot but anything with gambles is going to be exploited from btg.

Here we go... Another "not random" post from someone who clearly doesn't understand how they work.

The bonuses won't be predetermined because they can have no idea whether you will gamble or not...

 

[aceking123]

Utter crap trance you know it !
bollocks are any online games 100% random, you mean now you producer's can hide behind billions of spins. It gives you somewhere tp hide. Every game if you play it long enough shows patterns & maths which are exact, that cannot be random.

Average bonuses can be produced so no need for it to know wether your going to gamble or not.

 

[Playford7]

Hands trance many painkillers and anti depressants and leaves this thread imminently....
wishing you all the best trance lol

 

[deaconk78]

might as well have 25% on every button if correct button to press could have written on it 1% and without being able to reverse the game state to go on an choose the 1% 'correct answer' we are stepping backwards into the old 1-12 awp higher or lower techniques .

With extra chilli in your mind it is 50/50 i might win i might lose but ill gamble it . This slot appears to be trying to give you an edge that doesn't exist . I'd like to see someone - perhaps @dunover - could do a video and see how many times selecting the 3rd highest % chance wins the gamble ? would be interesting to see how many times it tells you the highest % was the winner when not selected .

But don't forget Trance these slots can read your mind - they are like cars which adjust automatically the OBC to your driving style. The game will change the pool of RNG outcomes accordingly as it 'gets to know you'..... and that's even without the input from your MAC address.

Of course it needs to know if you're going to gamble... And no I am not getting involved with another rigged debate with someone who quite clearly wouldn't change their mind even if categorical evidence were placed in front of them. Plus there are so many other threads like this ...

You can love or hate the game... But one thing BTG can't afford to do is anything dodgy. The spotlight is on them .... They certainly won't be doing anything underhand...

My guess is that the chance they are showing you is the actual chance of that selection being correct. I can't see how else this would have been certified.

It is going to really mess with people and their state of mind . appears to me that they didn't really know what to do with replacing questions and selecting an answer for the gamble and what to do with the lifelines - a gambler is likely to ignore low % numbers and click on the higher % number . might as well just have said "select an answer" "a , b , c or d" and not take a persons eye away from the possibility of selecting a different answer than the one you're saying is the better choice .

if that makes sense . it's entirely random but guess what ? we are going to stick some numbers in there that make you think you might be making a better choice . not saying it's rigged but rather flawed .

 

[Balthazar]

I honestly don't get why people spend time and energy to hate on a slot that they don't like. There's like 20,000 other slots to play, there's no need to play that one if you don't like it. If you think it's rigged just play the next one. It's like everyone feel like they need to have a strong opinion on any BTG slot? Why?

After watching dunover's video: I really like the colors, game sounds/music are OK as well. I expressed doubts about the theme earlier in the thread but I think they somewhat pulled it off. That said, no one in their right mind would (or should) gamble to 50 spins. I find the 20 spins floor a little low, it's still less than the maximum number of spins on Extra Chilli.

Not a big fan of the 8 spins "base" feature but that's the price to pay to trigger it with 3 scatters instead of 4.

@dunover : you said in the video that they are using a new engine for the Megaways, what does that mean for the player?

It's still the Megaways engine, but remember this can have different maths models and volatility applied as well as feature-base RTP distribution, feature frequency and range etc. In other words, this variant of the Megways is a completely new slot made from the bottom up, and that's straight from the horse's mouth.
I have played it for 12 hours now in demo and can testify it plays significantly different to Bonanza for example. There is a noticeably lesser win frequency in base and FS but more larger wins than you see on Bonanza so the overall longevity of the balance seems around the same and therefore possibly is the RTP for base/bonus.
The bonus is far more volatile IMO.
It's definitely not as tiring as those games mentioned either. Smoother and more pleasant on the eye.

 

[Balthazar]

Agreed. They went for a Starburst-like color scheme which was an excellent idea. I like smooth, easy-to-read, relaxing themes.

 

[Jayjay231221]

Just anouther chilli reckless slot gamble this gamble that u may win 50 spins (or not) nope ill pass on this vomit.

 

[Harry_BKK]

I could understand the problem if you got 40 spins and gambled and got none but you don't so what is the problem?

20 spins are a huge difference on games like these. Just think whether you have the standard 12 or 32 on Bonanza.

IMO though, most gambles will be lost on the first level, leaving player with "zero" after hundreds of spins. I am pretty sure players who tried Extra Chilli will mostly try to gamble for more Free Spins because they know they mostly won't get much from 8 spins. And that is where the addict will dig in and play more to get another round to try again and again and again.

The percentages for the correct answers are totally misleading. I had meanwhile dozens of rounds in fun play and in more than 50% I failed to make it to 10 spins. And I took steadily the answer with the highest percentage or in case of 50:50 I took the answer which came first, e.g. with B&D I took B, with A&C I took A.

In essence this is Extra Chilli with higher volatility since a portion of the RTP has to cater for the 30, 40, 50 free spins rounds, which will happen, no doubt, but they will be rare since the win potential is sky high.

 

[snorky510238]

I still think there is a high chance that the number of spins is a smoke screen and irrelevant. The bonus is predetermined so if you are going to get a bad round and you have a high number of spins a lot of them will be dead and vice versa. Just look at the amount of times 17 and 22 spins on bonanza pay sod all yet you can have big hits with 12. It guarantees nothing. If I am wrong it would be nice if btg could let us know a little bit about how it does works with regards to how achieving more spins heightens your chances of a big win. Apart from the obvious well the more spins you have the higher multiplier you will achieve because that’s only based on potential.

 

[dunover]

After tens of features I have found the 8-10 gamble is successful on the majority of occasions. I had a bad run in the first video at the start, but the success rate is around 2/3 - 3/4 now.

I reached 16 spins on 5 or 6 occasions, once collecting and the rest lost going for 18 spins. Don't forget that's just my experience, one of you guys will probably hit 20 first attempt, that's randomness for you.

Exactly I had a £450 win from 8 spins on Chilli people are getting too worked up over the 50 spins thing, accept that if you get to 20 you are lucky and be grateful you will get 20 spins guaranteed, if you get more and lose them it isn't the end of the world it's not like winning £500 and withdrawing it and reversing it and losing it all. YOu are likely to get a decent win from 20 spins.

It's supposed to be like the tv show so who expects really to go on Millionaire and reach a million, no one, you are supposed to judge when to say you've had enough and collect if you stupidly gamble £500,000 for a million and lose you take the risk.

 

[Iwillbeluckyoneday]

Well I don't think anyone can be more unlucky than I am! Played bonanza thos morning 107 spins @0.60 and 370 spins yes that's right 370 @0.40 NEVER getting the bonus round! I give up. I also now HATE this game.

 

[Deeplay]

Think its a terrible game. And BTG just seem to be focussing on in game gambles , so waiting 300 plus spins for a feature then needing to gamble within that to get the chance of a hit, then if you get through that you could be looking at 10 or 20x bet. Sure it can have massive win potential but BTG slots are more and more like playing a lottery. So they are just re-skinning and adding in more volatile features on the gamble making bonanza look like a good bet! I really could not be bothered ever playing this game. Waiting 100s of spins then faced with a gamble that could mean the whole thing is over in seconds. People will loose allot of money on this one like they are chilli , which I suppose is the aim from the game provider. I cant see this game being a success, ironically if it did have a bonus buy feature like x chilli it probably would be a hit. But how many will camp this out just to be hit with the FS gamble ?

good graphics but dire game imo ... no $ from me going this way.

Great vid as always

Why did you cut the visible balance from the video? I would have enjoyed seeing where you stood. Did it milk you that much?

I will have to play it first to see if I like it or not though agreed on like the graphics but not sure if I will like it as I don't like extra chilli.
