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

Big Time Gaming is reviewed by Casinomeister - read our review and comment here in this forum thread.
i have played it on other sites too. from my experience it just offers so much but produces little
when you have 10 free spins left in the bonus and you are sitting on a 15x multiplier and you have a screen that is full of megaways you expect to at least get some wins but most of the time you will get nothing just dead spins
i can say the same for every btg slot. they all offer so much and produce little
 
My best hit on this game was a base game hit of 75 pounds from a 60p spin. Best bonus was 60 pounds from 10 60p spins but mostly bonuses are lucky if I break the 10 pounds barrier from 60p spins. I think its an awful game in terms of payouts but does look good on the eye.

Yes the problem with the megaways reel strips is that they have clusters of the same symbol so unless you are lucky enough to line them up they act more as blockers on reels 2 and especially 3 thus minimising cascades and controlling the multiplier.

Very clever Btg offering massive potential but nullifying it in the process.
 
I still don’t understand how people are still insisting that the gambles on the BTG slots make no difference to the likelyhood of a good bonus.
 
It depends if you believe in predetermined or not. Either way there is no proof. Only that theoretically it leads you to obviously think it has better potential (more spins more wins) but how many games pay more time and time again with a lower starting trigger and how many turn out awful with a higher number of starting spins?

Look at @Luckyscouser45. £2,800 odd off 8 spins. Who’s to say if she had started with 24 it would have paid more?
 
I'm pretty sure the 117,000+ 'ways' are just there to tilt, so don't feel bad haha

Given that they should hit MORE yet whenever one pops out from the shadows it tends to miss. Hmmmmm

Still utter filth, mind

There's every chance that 8 could have been gambled and lost, and we would have never known about her heroics.

Which yes, makes one think whether the gamble feature is nothing more than a 2nd chance for the provider

Yes also with that in mind it makes you think the game must be able to adapt in some way concerning rtp. Hypothetically if 100 people gamble and lose and their accumulative win would of been 2k then compared with the opposite scenario the game has to play differently than it would of to keep rtp in line.

Maybe @Luckyscouser45 had a one off rtp adjuster donated by all the people who lost gambles.

It’s all mind games the 8 spins will pay if it wants to

probably hahahaha that makes sense actually!
 
So we're all agreed the gamble feature is a hoax and not needed, excellent

What's....what's that car pulling up outside.....men in suits with black water pistols.....walking towards my door

Must be Jehovah's Witnesses, I'll let them in

So you are picking one specific example of a highly unusual and exceptional 8 spin bonus and using that as proof that it is never worth gambling the feature? Fair enough.

Let’s assume for one minute it isn’t pre-determined because, I don’t know, BTG say it isn’t and that UKGC are not complicit in covering up a lie. It will be occasionally possible for the slot to cascade a number of times in one spin and then throw a nice coordinated screen in for a big win off one spin. Haven’t seen the vid or pic of the win you mention but I’m guessing it comes off effectively one big spin, two max, probably after a modest but lengthy cascade? Well that’s pretty much how this slots works isn’t it?

More spins gives more chance for this event to happen but is in no way a guarantee it will. Even in the base game WWTBAM can go a number of spins without a win.

Now one thing I will concede is that how the reel sets are selected for each spin is a bit of a mystery. Does it feature less win enriched sets when you get 50 spins. I would like to think not and I doubt very much the slot can use different setups in a bonus purely based on number of spins awarded.

Also, why in the world would BTG not want huge wins to come off more spins? Slightly backward thinking if that were true.

FYI, yes I do quite like BTG slots mainly because many of them do not end my 200x bankroll within half an hour but by no means are they perfect. Certainly the wait for features can be terminally dull. However, I struggle to understand the vitriol against them at times when other manufacturers include far more dubious dynamics into their slots, often just to produce the headline making hits everyone apparently wants to see.
 
I think @Luckyscouser45 hit a full screen of purple chillis. At least that’s how she described it. I did work out how many she would of needed for the win and it wasn’t as many as you may think. Always meant to ask if it was just purples and no other symbol.

I have read numerous posts where taking 8 spins has paid a good return and constantly see posts where larger amounts pay nothing. Look at the Bonanza thread last night. @pinnit hit the dream and extremely rarely seen 27 spin start and it paid awfully.

What I am saying here is let’s not be naive. There will be more built into slots than we imagine. When I first came to the forum I knew slots didn’t work exactly the way we are lead to believe but I didn’t know how.

I still don’t exactly but the information I have gathered has helped me understand things a lot better and then the x% I can’t be told accounts for the rest.

When I say let’s not be naive I mean there’s a competition to reach 50 spins. How bad would it of looked if the comp ran for months and nobody hit it. Worst publicity ever. It was a given that someone would hit it. Whether randomly chosen who knows but it was a cert but never seen since.

Then you have the different usage of reel strips. It doesn’t tell you about that on the front of the box. The 117,649 ways uses different reel strips in the base game. God knows how many different strips in the bonus round so even if you hit 50 spins you may get the worst reel sets and 8 spins may get the best.

Another thing that crossed my mind with the unlimited multiplier is that I don’t believe for a second that you could let the bonuses play out truly randomly on a megaways slot and have it retain its correct rtp. The deviations and variables would be enormous even testing billions of spins would prove very little.

It was a whole screen still salivating thinking of the beauty of it wish I would of got the screenshot but I was laying down not really paying attention half asleep thinking here we go another shit bonus round!!

Now this is certainly an area which may contain the relative control elements. As I said, I do not know specifically how these are dealt with on WWTBAM, or Extra Chilli for that matter. You are absolutely right in so much that if the reel sets are chosen at the start of a bonus the 8 spin one mentioned could have had the best one and a 50 spin one which goes for 400x the worst one.

Still, we do not know the %age given to each selection. If that, for example, is 10% you’ll get best reel set then you are still looking at 10% of significantly more attempts at 8 spins than 50 which may number less than 100 total. Even when the best reel set is chosen that is no guarantee of a monster hit.
