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

[shadow123]

Worthy follow up to Donuts i think, what on earth are they on?
I think Blueprint did a really good job with Buffalo Rising, not perfect but you
can tell they spent a lot of time getting the gameplay right and it is a good implemention of multiways.
This heap of shite will be getting nothing off me.

 

[goatwack]

Yeah, I always felt that BTG were reliant on Bonanza's huge success with so many clones in such a short time.

They will come unstuck as you say unless they take their "Bonanza Blinkers" off.

WWTBAM could have been awesome, most ideas mentioned already but collectively a few in game mystery features, a lot more thought in to the gamble feature (maybe increase in 5's not 2's and have a shorter ladder) more than 8 scatters possible (make it rare but gives lucky player that day a good shove up the ladder) add some humour, think Dunover mentioned the Major coughing incident when hovering over right answer etc etc etc

Wasted licence IMO and think players will lose interest quick and stick with Bonanza.

Exactly, a missed opportunity. Just imagine BTG incorporated a coughing Hotmode or something

 

[k6kaysix]

This contestant beta tested this game several years ago :-

 

[Broke]

MUST SEE, RECORD WIN, EPIC REACTION!!!!!!

I believe that is what they call a "balance saver".

 

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

So we can assume then that the ask the audience is the one no one wants, if you get this one don't pick the highest percentage answer.

Lol no. Pick the lowest each time and see how you go
People don't realise: 60% ain't a sure bet.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Yeah, it feels like a boring Bonanza sadly.

Did maybe 300-400 spins just now at Leovegas and got 2 bonus.
1 x50 was ok (10 spins) and the second i lost in the gambling.

They really should get rid of the losing part of the bonus. :machinegunner:
If i get the bonus, i want to get a bonus, not nothing.
Thats just bad of them.

They need to change the sleepy music also.
Atleast Bonanza has a quick rhytm.

The base game is so boring i almost fell asleep.
They should put in some random feature that shows up every 20-50 spins atleast to make it more interesting.

Just like on Extra Chilli you can walk away with the 8 Free Spins. You don't have to gamble them. The ratio for getting from 8 to 10 is about the same as getting to the second level on Extra Chilli. I have the feeling it is about 40:60 for advance:loss.

 

[Harry_BKK]

It's like video game designers designing a template and using it for other games, just fleshing out different characters, environments etc

Like the Unreal engine , it was used for anything of note.

Anyone that thinks WWTBAM is a new concept developed from the ground up is sadly mistaken. In fact playing it, it's a lazy re-hash and missed opportunity (much like MG's GoT debacle)....things where you think 'Why'd they not use those sounds there' type thing.

And of course being the groundbreaking 'new' slot it claims to be, it's heartening to see losing cascades STILL have a 1-2 second lag. Top-notch programming, BTG

Said it from the start: WWTBAM is Extra Chilli on steroids as it is more volatile in the bonus gamble and you have 12 levels to get to the top. The base game is the same like EC and Bonanza, 50 - 70% RTP on average.

Now think of a normal pick-and-click bonus game with just 4 or 5 levels, e.g. Hugo, Blood Suckers II. How many times do you make it to the last level? Then add 8 or 7 levels to that and you get a feeling how difficult it will be to get to the 50FS. The chances reduce exponentially.

Those words alone make me . Aside from DHV the BTG's, I've not been enamoured by...normally an anti climax as much as Black Friday deals nowadays

 

[kretz1]

That's the BTG way for ya...
16000 bonuses will pay between 1x - 20x to get on person to hit a a 1000x+...

I've had once 2,1x bonanza bonus, over 30 times 200 x stake bonuses. Probably around 6 times 500 x stake bonuses. Once 1000x+
Done over 25,000 spins on that game. It's dogshite right now and has been for a longtime.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

10. Chopley will declare that he 'doesn't like it at all' then make a video in real play, and win.

I'll give it £100..... (Haven't deposited at Leo Vegas for a loooooooong time!)

This session will be recorded later on tonight and rather than dual-slot play I'll have the slot on one half of the screen and the Inetbet thread on the other, as I need to round off that story with its conclusion! And since WWTBAM is such a dull slot from what folks are saying, it'll be good to have something else going on.....

And if I don't hit at least 1000x stake I will be VERY UPSET

 

[CC07]

Decided to give it one more chance...got a bonus...didn't gamble... shouldn't have bothered

Quite some way off from being a millionaire there

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Yes but at least he got to want to be a millionaire.....

In fact, we could all just want to be a millionaire anyway, and save ourselves the trouble of playing the slot.

 

[goatwack]

Only way to be a millionaire is become part of BTG's payroll.

Even the teaboys have yachts

 

[shadow123]

Still want to know if the shown gamble odds are true or not, might sound naive but there is
nothing about it in the game info table.it does say what the best stratagy is but that doesnt mean
the odds are true.
For instance it advises the player to pick the highest percentage on ask the audience, if it shows 1%,10%,19%,70%
could the actual odds be something like 24%,24%,24%,28%, picking D would still have the best chance of success
as they stated but only just.Think it is quite important that this is clarified as it could be very deceptive and the players
decision to gamble or not would probably be based on what is shown

 

[kazzi]

Finally made it to the 20spins was amazing even got a retrigger so 24spins wow 10000x incomming WRONG! reached 9x and 20x win lol.......... just fells like extra chilli 75% deadspins most features.

Did get a 160x feature with 10spins atleast today.

 

[TheAddict]

Played my 2 spins from leo on this. Probably won't be back anytime this century.

I dont know how they have done it but i would guess it could be as simple as it picks a random number 1 - 100

with the above example shown above:-

1 = 1%
2-11 = 10%
12-30 = 19%
31-100 = 70% chance

with this if it picked number 9 then the 10% answer would be correct even tho the 70% answer clearly had the better chance, but thats how random stats work.

Still random, still fair, still as stated that the highest % had the best chance and therefore was " best strategy", but can still be incorrect.

On the face of it it looks like the 70% is a good bet but in fact you have a 30% chance of losing! eg 1 in 3 ish

TBH its how i would have done it as it would allow you to manipulate, control every stage / gamble % in a uniformed random, mathematical way factoring each gamble risk vs return of spins and in turn expected value.

The help file from BTG states, that the percentages only show the most probable outcome but it does not have to be true. Like in real, ask the audience or phone a friend can give you a pointer to the wrong answer.

I am pretty convinced, that the percentages are just arbitrary numbers and your real chance of advancing is actually calculated based on the RNG result pulled for the gamble.

 

[Aryol]

I wish BTG would be more creative with their new slots...Bonanza...Extra Chilli and now this. I also think that the chance to lose all free spins is not a player-friendly decision.

You don't need to gamble the initial 8 free spins. You can walk away just like on Extra Chilli.

 

[trancemonkey]

Is it wrong that I expect to see a streamer get to 50 Free Spins and then for it to come out that the video was fake?

 

[dunover]

LOL...to get 50 free spins on the thing you'd need a team of hackers and graphic artists working feverishly during the stream.

 

[steveh35]

I wonder if BTG would really punish you if you got to 40 spins and gambled.

 

[CasinoNinja]

Tinfoilhat much, I thought you would be better than this..

 

[dunover]

Tinfoilhat much, I thought you would be better than this..

I think he was joking, but on demo games with the proper tools on many developers' games you CAN select and action certain outcomes like 'big win' 'anticipation' '5 scatters' or 'full wilds' etc. What he's getting at is that a dishonest or misleading streamer COULD do this although if caught his reputation and channel would be toast. And BTG would have something to say about it too and it wouldn't be pleasant.

 

[JGslots]

If one of us gambles to the 50 free spins can we have Dunover's tin foil hat as an extra prize?

It would suit you better than the Red Tiger one When are pragmatic, Trada and Videoslots going to provide you with some headwear?

 

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

What are you guys talking about? I've got to 50 free spins 8 times now. Each paid a handsome 35x+ bet.

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

is that your final answer?

 

[Siohmy]

May be my imagination but it seems like more RTP has been chucked into the base game. Certainly seems to throw out a lot more 10-20x wins although I've only played a few hundred spins. 3 bonus's. First lost on a 50/50, second lost on a 70% ask the audience. 3rd won the initial 86% phone a friend before losing the second gamble but returned this...

I suspect I should now quit while I am ahead!

 

[trancemonkey]

Tinfoilhat much, I thought you would be better than this..

What Dunover said ...

 

[nikantw]

If the fun play is real and if my 10 bonus rounds show anything, that is way more volatile than Bonanza.
I got easily a >1000x and 3 >500x from just 10 spins. My 1st time 20 spin round paid 10x
All the difference is the 117k ways in bonus. Can easily pay 500x even with 3-4 multi.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Try it with some real money on sensible bets, and experience the drudgery of your balance slowly being taken apart whilst basically nothing happens, and then when you finally get a bonus you either take the shitty 8 spins or gamble and possibly lose the lot - it's awesome!

Yes of course it's going to produce some headline winning wins with videos and screenshots, which will get plastered all over the affiliate channels and various forums, and then having players chasing those wins for themselves, only to realise they've been suckered.

Very much as Bonanza has proven to be really, all talk and no trousers. (Although I'd take Bonanza over this pile of crap any day of the week, at least it's got an honest bonus round.)

Maybe WWTBAM will actually have some real potential (unlike Bonanza which turns out to be rather tame in the long term), but those monster hits have got to come out of the RTP somewhere......

Hey! At least you saw the 117649 way spin in the bonus lol....

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Hey! At least you saw the 117649 way spin in the bonus lol....

Yes I noticed it in the base game as well when I was editing the video together.

Maybe this one really can and WILL hit massive, unlike Bonanza which looks like it should but never seems to. (I mean, all those CM members putting so many spins through it, and what's the highest recorded win from a member?......)

However, the price to pay for THE AMAZING POTENTIAL with WWTBAM is some stiflingly dull gameplay and always the risk of losing the spins on the gamble. (I'm glad I had the Inetbet thing to waffle on about, as playing the slot by itself would have put me to sleep.)

Also, apologies to all for the crap video quality, it's a 1080p60FPS video (as all my videos are now) but YouTube has never processed it past 360p so it looks like a bag of arses. It glitches like this sometimes, but usually sorts itself out, however it doesn't like it will on this one.

It was a very large file though (11GB) so maybe it's just shit itself or something at their end.

 

[Jayjay231221]

The game is turd played earlier even won on it but its so boring to play so switched back to bonanza and danger high voltage who wants to become a homeless man more like load of shite game imo

Yes, I notice your balance was death by a thousand cuts too unlike Bonanza which tends to be kinder as I said. The base game drains quicker, but those (rare) massive base game hits are more likely. I cannot wait to see the first 50-spin video, streamer or not. It will be interesting to say the least, as it could well be a concealed 'jackpot prize' sort of hit like you've suspected before.

View attachment 98363

Yep, around £100 of my bonus win came from a 117k spin right at the start which went a little mental. Not sure how likely it’d be but the thought it could occur at at 15-20x multiplier (or higher) is pretty insane. It was around 250x starting at x1 multiplier.

 

[Supababe]

Well I’ve had a fairly good session today. With a balance higher than when I started (which is always a bonus for me).

One thing I did learn though is that when the audience or a friend is 89% sure then they are DEFFO wrong. (Don’t listen to them).

Oh and the other thing is, if you avoid the gamble and collect the 8 spins, it can be generous with the 3 symbols (extra spins) 2/5 bonus rounds.

Obviously my sample size is tiny so ignore all of the above if you like x

 

[Siohmy]

Finally made it to the 20spins was amazing even got a retrigger so 24spins wow 10000x incomming WRONG! reached 9x and 20x win lol.......... just fells like extra chilli 75% deadspins most features.

Did get a 160x feature with 10spins atleast today.

And herein lies the rub. Whilst unlikely I’d hope, imagine getting to the holy grail of 50 spins and have it chuck out 100x win. Horrific thought based on how staggeringly likely that many of us will never see 50 spins.

 

[goatwack]

Just spend 10,000x so that you too can have that 2,000x after 50 spins at the end of the rainbow!

 

[Mister1]

No wins worth posting. I have gotten 117k megaways in bonus twice no hit sadly. Never seen 117k megaways inside bonus in bonanza or chilli, so maybe we will see some crazy x-bet wins soon.

Maybe ... maybe not. I think BoreNanza collected enough to bankroll the 'Who Wants to be Homeless' Slot...

We're 18 pages in.... we're on 300 with Bonanza... Still waiting for Big Time Claiming to deliver the Big Hits they claim they can produce. Bonanza, Extra Chilli, DHV, White Rabbit... Book of Gods... Stupidly Insane multipliers on Donuts ... blah blah...

Meanwhile back at the ranch ... Jammin' Jars the scratch card game is delivering them like spam to your inbox

Hey maybe we will finally see something after what ...8 or 9 slots?

[Nicola]

UK Player hit 50 spins at 01:09 GMT this morning. Not sure on the result but the video will be up on YouTube later.

 

[pinnit2014]

*Result is still pending confirmation of whether a streamer or not. Once done so, the actual win will be credited to said account

 

[snorky510238]

You would have to laugh it was a normal btg bonus round for that many spins ie x15. Of course it won’t be, it wil be something pretty amazing I will say it now and stand to look a fool if it isn’t. If you ask me the whole thing is set up as a publicity stunt. Your chances of getting to 50 spins is surely only achievable via ‘special assistance’. Work out The accumulative odds of succeeding in doing this and you will understand what I mean. Wasn’t there a special prize or something for the first person to achieve it. They were never going to do that and nobody be able to achieve it because it wouldn’t have been well received obviously so an extra hamster on the rng wheel at the right moment sorts it out.

 

[dunover]

I am of the opinion that getting to the 50 spins would be some kind of 'jackpot round' and reward the player with a pretty substantial multi-k x bet win. If the game is playing the same as the base game in FS, then take ANY 50 base-game spins you have and imagine there is an increasing multiplier on them. Start from any point in demo and work out what you what you would win IF the starting point was the first of 50 free games. I tried this and cannot see a result of less than a few k x bet.

(Unless of course behind the scenes they have a certain orange Rhino hidden in an enclosure which is automatically released upon a 50-spin trigger in order to wreak his havoc upon the RNG...)
