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

[lockinlove]

This is no different than any other BTG slot in terms of false hope.

Bonanza 32 spins. 100x. Saw dragon born 55 freespins. 300x. This new slot 50 freespins 400x. 117 multiplier on donuts...400x.

BTG is one of the hardest providers out there to hit something good on because someone hits 20,000x and you have to remember thats built into the math model. So hitting 500+ hits are even more rare than MG, playngo, merkur, netent etc. I would say its probably 5 times as hard as the others. Thats why we dont see very many at all considering how many people pound away on this thing.

BTG. I do not know why you make the extra special ultra rare features pay so bad. It is incredibly disheartening to say the least. You get that once in a life time feature that has to be 1 in 2 million to hit it than it pays nothing.

 

[dionysus]

Thanks for the responses - as to BTG via Microgaming - will Canadians be able to play as we can otherwise play Micro; does allowability come from you or the provider? Can you give a directive to allow jurisdictions to play?

What a shameful disgusting bonus round. Had higher wins on Bonanza of just 12 spins.

Considering the difficulty of getting to 50 spins, this is a what the fuck moment.

Nick @Big Time Gaming - care to comment please.

To be fair what's the BTG rep supposed to do about a random bonus round like this?

It was an utter shocker, agreed but I'll tell you something, it must be real because I'm sure BTG would have preferred a colossal win to arise from the first 50-spin video rather than that dross we just saw.

Then again, if the player had won 10,000x on the 50 spins there would have been 'fake streamer' allegations or 'BTG publicity stunt' along the lines of 'player joins a forum, becomes first 50-spin winner and gets 10,000x bet, what a surprise!!!'

So it's pretty much a no-win scenario on here if you all think about it...

The authenticity of the video / win was never under doubt as far as I am concerned, though I can see where you're coming from regarding your 3rd paragraph - I said so much up threat myself.

But as @lockinlove said a few posts ago, for such a rare bonus round you expect better. It is, from playing this in free mode, difficult enough to trigger the bonus, let alone get the ultimate of 50 free spins.

At least people know now, not to get their hopes up if it were to happen again.

 

[aceking123]

oh come on im no fan of BTG as many of you know, shocker bonus round, im thinking BTG had learnt its lesson on bullshit highlights , i think we're safe there.

but regards to true gambles , no way hosay , you can tell me till im blue it isnt. but BTG games are chasing a pot of gold which sadly maybe 1 player a year may hit , just dont bother sending them money pretty simple , nobody forces you to play them.

 

[dionysus]

I generally treat BTG games as pretty much any other slot - toss it a 20, no hits, i tried, move on.

Eagerly awaited the vid after it was mentioned. A late nominee for absolute let down of the year. Seems 50 spins should come with a bonus guarantee.

Nic does like that word.

Sorry bud. They only have themselves to blame for being dishonest and trying to make us all assholes here.

This would've been a non-issue and they would have been in very good standing if they were not trying to deceive the membership here.

Sadly they went as far as trying to win their own competition with fake screenshots after trolling us with those very screenshots on the forum...

I don't blame anyone for having any doubts or questioning their integrity. They are solely to blame for that.

[goatwack]

Obviously this slot's the testing ground and precursor to whatever insanely risky gamble feature they implement in future releases. Maybe a Trivial Pursuit game next where one can gamble up to 150 spins

As the much-touted holy grail of 50 spins is actually just a load of bollocks and a con, in time we'll see ever more ludicrous targets, but all the player's going to witness is the law of diminishing returns

All the while increasing the punters chance to walk away with nothing ten-fold!

 

[Playford7]

Nah Nik, that explanation won't wash really.

I have taken 100's of times the recommended strategy and funny how often 1 - 9% answers are correct. In no way does it display real world gambles.

Every time I got to 14 or 16 spins and it would display an answer with a high percentage, it was wrong close to 100/100, except in the two cases where I made it past the 20FS threshold. That is mathematically not explainable, pure and simple; other than the gamble result is a pure "yes" / "no" where the player can choose any answer and he will be right or wrong based on what the RNG result is. The percentages are just there for the eye.

As for the 50:50, I do not have yet enough samples to make a fully qualified comment but at the moment I stand at 28% won / 72% lost ratio from over 100 times being offered the 50:50 answers. Which can be down to luck but also down to the result being pre-selected.

My gut feeling is getting stronger that you somehow pre-determine the gamble results the soon a player hits 3 scatters. I would still consider it somehow random as you pull an RNG result from a pool of possible outcomes, which are weighted between the the low and high end on the gamble to account for the RTP....e.g. for 10 times giving 10 FS, the game will allow once 14FS or similar. But I think strongly that a player can pick any answer and if the RNG result is positive up to lets say 20FS, then he/she can choose any answer and will get there.

A 30x multiplier for 50FS is a laugh. On Bonanza, we have often 15x and more with standard 12 spins. The hit rate on Bonanza is roughly 1:3, I guess it is not much different on WWTBAM. So standard play should get you to 16x in 50FS without counting the cascades in a spin sequence. Getting to 30x multiplier is then a mere 14 cascades in 50 chances, and most cascades are on 3OAK or low value 4OAK. Funny how exactly in those 50FS you have plenty of them.

Plus thousands, if not tens or even hundreds of thousands players around the world have played the game in fun mode since it launched. Any 50FS occurence would have turned up on Youtube, Twitch or any other social media. To have one in one week which then pays abut 363x bet shows that players have two challenges where the odds are totally against them.

First getting to the 50FS will be something like 1:5,000 or even 1:10,000 gambles. And then the 50FS will produce maybe 1:1,000 50FS rounds a monster win higher than 10K x bet win, 2:1,000 50FS rounds a 5k - 10K x bet win, and probably over 500:1,000 50FS rounds a result below 500x bet.

In essence, not worth chasing. The odds of getting first to 50FS and then a monster win are astronomically low. DoA fares much better without all the "broohaha".

Superb comment mate. I don’t trust them at all, not one bit.
Not having a dig, but the whole things never sat right.
Sure as said before some are entertaining as hell, like bonanza and danger, but this megaways with unlimited potential frankly just really isn’t that. I’ll be avoiding and just watch the streamers win life changing amounts zzz

as you asked for any more Qs, but addressed dunover's quote but missed this one

Hey @dionysus, in Canada, you can play our games at Lotto Quebec, at BCLC's playnow.com and later this year on OLG Casinos. As we have licenses with/pending most online legal jurisdictions for Canadian Government entities we cannot provide our games via any other brand/platform.

If you live in BC or Quebec you can play our games on espacejeux.com or playnow.com and soon on olg.ca

Hope that helps.

 

[slotmaster]

OH SNAP! olg.ca! Oh wait can't wait for the massive technical difficulties and being in maintenance, Oh what is the RTP going to be set at do you know by chance?

 

[dionysus]

OH SNAP! olg.ca! Oh wait can't wait for the massive technical difficulties and being in maintenance, Oh what is the RTP going to be set at do you know by chance?

if olg has their way, the lowest possible rtp setting available
but yeah, it might be launched on olg, but a good bet it's broken by day 2

not a dig at BTG - if theyre familiar with olg at all, broken seems to be the default setting

 

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

BTG. I do not know why you make the extra special ultra rare features pay so bad.

They didn't, it's random. Would you prefer it be rigged?
You can have the best setup in the world and still have a stinker of a bonus round.
It's just luck and I feel kind of bad for @Big Time Gaming reading this thread, yes they had someone do a dodgy thing a fair while ago now but they've offered more promos than anyone else I've seen on this site, not to mention answered more questions (or allegations) than any other provider about their slots.

Anyway, back to the dogpiling.

OLG will be getting a technical facelift this year from Bede Gaming.

Our RTP's are the same on BCLC and Lotto Quebec as they are in all our other jurisdictions, our games only have one RTP across the board. I find it odd that providers offer mixed RTP's as it's just not a player friendly practice. At the moment we are looking to place some of our content in Canadian land based casinos and the RTP will be the same as online too.

 

[dionysus]

That's actually quite fair to say....people see BTG and just see 'rep', but youre correct - nary a provider has come forth over the years (even if may seem self-serving, but they HAVE indeed answered a few Qs about their product outside of marketing new slots, whereas, where's the other providers jumping in - yes, Dan, I know youve joined in )

 

[deepsky2]

Our land base casinos really need some fresh slots. Went to Woodbine racetrack last week first time in 2 years and wasn't impressed. They now have table games black jack min$25 buy-in and the room looks like a charity casino. The main floor with over 3000 slots is so congested no room to move looks outdated. Not sure if this is tempory or they have a plan to renovate but its a mismatch looking place. Having BTG games would be refreshing as most slots are low variance. Years ago you usta see many people getting hand paid, machine bells going off but you really don't see that anymore. Love BTG games, think their cream of the crop of slots so will be excited to see them make it to the land of the free!!

Sure why not. Ive seen the results of Jammin jars and im quite impressed by the 'rigged' version. Ive also had some great hits on the predetermined blueprints.

And dont feel too bad for the BTG rep. Seems like a wonderful job to have as a career and if he didnt like answering questions he simply wouldnt since he isnt obligated to.

 

[dionysus]

he simply wouldnt since he isnt obligated to.

It's a weird one that; as I understand it since he isnt a casino rep, he hasnt the same obligations as a rep would, but conversely, isnt free of obligations as hes permitted to post contests, competitions, and news which markets his co./games (and per rules, CM isnt to be exploited solely for marketing purposes). So more a....forum presence and acknowledgement of members and their Qs as a returned courtesy
A half-half kinda thing

Who wants to be Millionaire will be out of exclusive today and launching across all MGS and Scientific Games casino networks.

If you choose to play, best of luck!

Good luck!

[slotmaster]

Ohhhh deposit night! Will give it a try.

 

[rostonix]

It is very painful
I hate you BTG, officially

 

[lockinlove]

Is anyone around to give me a quick run down? I just tried it for first time and got 4 scatters for 10 spins. Should I try it out..or?

 

[Harry_BKK]

The 10FS is a safe level. So you can try without the risk of losing the FS round. Anything you try up to 20FS and fail, will see you falling back to 10FS. 20FS is then the next safe level.

3 scatters - gamble starts at 8FS
4 scatters - gamble starts at 10FS
5 scatters - gamble starts at 12 FS
....etc. the maximum you can have is 8 scatters for 20FS

 

[rostonix]

Ok I got it

 

[lockinlove]

Thanks! I tried it. Lost the gamble and played the 10 freespins. Paid 9x

 

[Harry_BKK]

Sorry to hear that.

The 8 or 10FS rounds are often poor. Same like the 8FS on Extra Chilli.

 

[lockinlove]

I got it again about 15 spins later. 3 scatter. Got the first question right so went to 10 then lost so did the 10 spin again and it paid 48x

Not sure how I feel about it yet but im glad I got a couple bonuses without having to chase too hard. Started with $500 balance and am down to 450 on 80 cents

The difference to Bonanza & Extra Chilli is that it has the 117,649 ways in the free spins, and it happens quite often. Not every FS round though but would say more often than on Bonanza in the base game. Even a small multiplier will make a big difference if the full-ways spin produces something decent.

Lots of big base game teases on this sucker so far. Had about 8 teases for 100-500x

It is definitely more volatile than Boooonanza

 

[lockinlove]

Not a bad first impression for me.

450 spins. 2 bonuses. base game hit of 51x bonus of 48x. Lost only $23 on .80 bets. Could be wayyyyy worse. Im sure it will be next time I try it

 

[goatwack]

I think it's apparent they want players to risk and lose the default 8 spins as they know it's inadequate.

Extra Chilli was just the tester to see if punters would down tools and walk away in disgust with their practices. They didn't

 

[lockinlove]

Extra Chili is absolutely evil if you go the bonus buy route. You can spend a tonne of money and not even see a bonus ffs!! Hence why I do not buy them anymore and havent for a long time

 

[The Viking]

ok gave it a try in real Betsafe for the first time 3 spins in bonus got ask the audince D was 90% right
yay i thought at least 10 spins lol the 1% was right so gave it another 10 spins and left
will give it another try but that was bullox

 

[Reelsoffun]

Thats interesting as thats the complete opposite to my play.

I played EC on various sites on 20/40p stakes and did a ton without even seeing a bonus which is also just as evil as buying them. Once i played for what seemed few hours for like 2 bonuses, one of which lost the 8 spins and second I got to 12 and collected just to have something back, it went for a massive 17x stake.

So I started buying them instead, yeah you dont win all of them and its horrid if you keep losing first gamble etc but its a similar grind to get to 24 spins etc but after a couple sessions I had recovered all my previous losses and was out a hole so to speak plus sometimes I just don't have the time to play a slot for hrs to get a bonus or two.

I guess each to their own really but I find overall there is pros and cons for both methods, one thing is for sure either way you play you need luck on your side

 

[bebo67]

I just did Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in demo mode. 1000 dollars to play with and did 10 dollar stakes. The highest win was 130 dollars, most wins were 20-28 dollars after tons of dead spins, and the bonus never came up once. Proceed with caution

I have never really understood the motive to play demo on stakes you don't play normally at? Surely demo is to give you an idea how it plays and the sort of wins to expect on the stake your playing?

Not a dig, just curious why? Unless of course $10 is your normal stakes......

 

[electronictonic]

Rig Crime Shaming - Who Want's To Be A Homeless Beggar.

Joking a side...they did Extra Silly with 8 spins knowning full well most would think that is not enough, so they put a potential loss of everything in the first 2 gambles.
The whole buy it feature on that is just evil, I think most people are smart enough to not bother tilting the buy it not features on that.
When it was announced months ago I suspected they would do the ask the audience exactly as they have...the percentage for the correct answer has nothing to do with the pick being more correct whatsoever, where as
on the TV show the overwhelming amount of time 93% is going to be correct far more often than on the slot, the only resemblance to the TV show is the 50/50 option.

25fs 115x (fun play), I will try to give you another 50 fs sample (fun play)

Another 20fs, 47x

400 spins on this today, no bonus - it's just sooo tedious.

Absolute fkn GARBAGE! BTg going to be mad at me but this slot is worse than extra chilli!!! Never had a balance go down so fast, FINALLY just got the bonus and walked away at 12 spins and won 5x, Like all dead spins!.

Might as well play starquest. Just so boring this slot so far, cascades don't drop anything to match.

F!@#!
