Biggest Money Eaters

[dionysus]

I think to date, this one has been my biggest money eating game experience:

Vulcan

RTG, Jackpot Capital
$95
50 cents spins (plus 20 cents for the feature guarantee, which is supposed to trigger 'within' 250 spins or less)

Lost whole bankroll. The option where it comes up if less than 25 spins or less of the 250 to force trigger didn't come. So, at 70 cents, of my $95, I didn't even get 225 spins.

what's yours?

 

[mrmark21]

That's to be expected... I think RTG has to be one of the biggest mainstream money grabbers on the whole. The re-trigger is also quite hard to get on Vulcan

Mine:
RTG - Pay Dirt! (this game pays exactly that: Dirt! I much prefer the Aristocrat game Where's the Gold even on 89% RTP).
Microgaming - The Finer Reels of Life or BDBA (Never had a good bonus round on either).
Netent - Piggy Riches (must have played over thirty bonus rounds on the highest multiplier and never got a decent win).

I think WMS is my favorite platform. IMO none of the WMS games are major money grabbers unless you're playing a game like Bruce Lee which has really really high variance

 

[LaHutti]

haha...I'm not sure what slot exactly, but I'm pretty confident, that it was an RTG one

 

[lnspin]

Any one where you put money into and press the spin button…. lol

 

[weesie]

Sorry, but I think 3Dice Arctic and Scatterville Skanks and Kyoto whatever are big, big, huge money holes!

I can bet minimum, bump the bet, anything.......... nothing... big fat ZEROS!

Tell me about it. I tried 3 different Casinos in a few hours. InetBet, ClubWorld and Manhattan Slots a week or two ago. Tried balances of over $200 and redeposited only for it to pay CRAP every single time. I had a hit for less than 100x stake but that was when I was in the hole for $300 already (playing $1.25 a spin)

I actually hate that Slot - its a blackhole like many of the RTG games - Im glad that I am not forced to only play at RTG!

Others that I have experienced are:

Immortal Romance - MG -Jeepers - I had a session on 32Red day before yesterday - I think i went about 3500 spins and hit 100x bet once. I was betting in and around $3 - $4.20 - Session ended at 89% RTP - Its the usual for me with this game... I can never get over 200x. I also have had 20 - 30 Wild Vine features in the last few sessions and got 100x stake maybe twice.

Starburst - NetEnt - This is one of the worst paying NetEnt Slots I have played - Yes, its medium / Low variance but it will take a $300 balance playing $1 bets and throw you 50 10x-20x stake hits but never get you ahead. You actually need to increase your bet at the right time. It can be a minor booster to bankroll, but on the whole its a money grabber.

Dead or Alive - NetEnt - Love / Hate relationship with this slot - I've had some of my biggest wins and losses here. I must admit that on the up side, I HAVE Hit big on this slot - I can't say the same for the rest of the slots here.

Unlucky Angler - NetEnt - This is one of the poorest paying NetEnt Slots ever - Yeah it has potential but I have never seen such meaningless free spins on any other NetEnt Slot.

Payola - 3Dice - Never win on that game - It will suck you dry. Its loaded with lots of meaningless free spins and crap pays..

Fortune Fails - 3dice - Another money hungry Slot - If you don't get 5 butterflies - Good luck on even getting close to the T-RTP.

I'm sure there are lots of them - But these tend to stick in my head MOST!!

I agree with RTG, but RTG is not HALF as bad as 3Dice.... 3Dice killed me every time i tried it...

 

[KasinoKing]

Yep, I have to pretty much agree with everything Nate said, apart from StarBurst which has boosted my balance more often than depleting it.
I've not played DoA since I got my first and only 5-wilds in free-spins; I figure I've had 3 years worth of good luck on that for now - so I'll go back to it in 2015!

The other 3Dice disappointment is Ching-Ching; even (finally) getting the 20 free-spins @x6 does not guarantee a bet x100+ return, which I think it should.

I agree that Immortal Romance (& TSII) are shite games. It's a mystery to me why they seem to be so popular, which is why even I am often drawn back to them for a few 100 useless spins when I have more money than I want in my balance...
Same goes for The Dark Night - though I have not even been tempted to go near that one for 6+ months.

There are loads of other slots which have been "sucky" for me - but I'm struggling to think of the very worst right now. I'll be back...

I totally agree. I don't get it why people spend so much money to get the Wild-Reels in Immportal Romance or an incredibly big win at Dark Knight... For me to get this is not a lot different than chasing a progressive Jackpot. Chances are incredibly high that once you get your big payout you already spent much more money on this specific slot than you get back.

Wait until you get your first Wild desire feature that gives the first 4 rows wild KK, you may not be saying that then about Immortal Romance It happens. Ive had that twice so far at 32Red and it pays BIG

More than 80% of my slot time in the last 3 months has been spent on Starburst. I played it a lot and analyzed it a lot too.

Here's the deal: If you bet 1% of your starting bankroll per spin, you have about 50% chances to double your bankroll and 50% chances to bust. If you double, you need to GTFO because if you play it for too long you're doomed. I doubled a lot of times (like I said about half the time) and the slot never keeps paying much after that (tripled maybe once).

As much as I like this slot, I've got serious doubts about the kind of randomness that it provides.

Im a smallroller and i like starburst. If i throw my last dollar in there pretty often im able to play it to atleast 20$ or so, giving me some more playtime. But its not often i get a sum worth to withdraw of that slot.

The worst money eater i've expericed must be Gonzos Quest. I know its high variaence, so i guess its expected. But the money litteraly fly away when gonzo have decided to screw you with 0.10-0.30xbet wins. Not to mention the NetEnt blackjack. That dealer got alot of luck, thats for sure.

Haha... You lucky bastard. I gave up on that... I don't know how many spins i did a while ago... I always tracked the wild reels

1x 3 wild reels - Payout 16x bet
29x 2 wild reels - Payout between 0 and 33x bet
85x 1 wild reel - Payout between 0 and 71x bet

I never saw 4 wild reels... And the highest win i ever had on this slot was 154x bet on a free spin feature....

 

[EyesOpen]

Ching Ching at 3dice is a joke. I completed the puzzle wagering $15.00!! Hit 20 spins x 6 for the bonus then got 10 more spins added during the bonus round. OK, that's 30 SPINS X 6 AT $15.00 A SPIN, and I end up with $21.00 after the stupid spinning wheel cut my $42.00 in half, a f***ing insult IMO.
I've slowly become disillusioned with 3dice over the past several months. Like some of the slots, their loyalty program is insulting. Deposit thousands and they will toss you crumbs in bonus money. Sure, the reps are nice and responsive but I can't cash nice and responsive at the bank.

My favorite slots are Happy Valley, Starstruck, and Stickshifter. I'm sure I'll continue to make small deposits occasionally but for the most part, I've moved on.

Yeah, that's sort of my point: If I wanted to chase a HUGE win I would just play progressives.
But what I want when I play is a decent amount of playtime for my money, some entertainment and a reasonable chance of moderately increasing my starting balance. That's why I tend to avoid the higher-variance slots.

I only play MGS and I have a love/hate relationship with Break da Bank Again. When this baby pays and stays in an extended hot streak @ $22.50 a spin, it's easy to rack up $20K in 30mins. But have a bad session and it can easily suck $5K out of you in 30 minutes.

The other slot with a similar split personality is Rhyming Reels - Old King Cole. Had a massive hot streak on this not too long ago, raised my bet to max $100 per spin. Hit the free games three times in less than 100 spins and all these hit additional free spins 3x each. Biggest from these clocked in at $32K. Though if this slot is ice cold it can suck $10K in no time flat without any free games.

That's the risk you take playing very high variance slots, huh!

Wow ChillBill, thats what i call a high roller 100$ per Spin... Wooooh!

 

[RikkiGT-R]

Beach Babes, Supe It Up and (to a lesser degree) Isis for a start. All the same game really, and probably the worst paying slots I've ever come across in the base game. You really need to be lucky and hit free spins early, and then get a good session with perhaps a re-trigger. Although I know Casinomeister loves Isis

I agree that BdBA could be a massive money drain, but I've had loads of luck on it, and I'm not afraid to leave it after 25 dead spins so I'm quite wiley with it

Likewise with DoA - I'll give it £50 and then get the Hell out of there.

Reel Steel on NetEnt is horrific 99% of the time. I'm often left asking myself "why do I bother?"

Any RTG and PlayTech slot. I despise RTG and PlayTech with every ounce of my being.

Speaking of Beach Babes, this slot has been absolutely hot for me for the past couple of days. I seriously could not count the amount of free spin rounds I had gotten, probably once every 50 spins or so, with 90% paying over 50x bet. Managed to cashout $700 from an $80 deposit from this slot even with numerous crappy sessions of the usual 243 money eating suspects in between.

On topic though the biggest money eaters for me would have to be BDBA, IR and the Dark Knight. These slots have been pretty cold for me where I'll go through 500 spins without a bonus round, quit, play some other slot, rack up my balance, return and chugg through another few hundred spins with no bonus in sight. Rinse and repeat and damn you think of the money you would have if not giving these money eaters a little sympathy play shot.

what's yours?

Mine is RTG, Triple Toucan. I really like this game because of the wilds in the feature but I have gone through many bankrolls trying to hit it!

As for Vulcan, I have played the feature guarantee at least 10x and the feature NEVER hit more than about $25 ($1 spins). I understand it is high variance, but cmon...

 

[spoton]

Speaking of moneyeaters. Just played some carribean stud on Mrgreen. I've never liked Netents tablegames, but i find it hard to belive the cards comes out of a deck of cards... Had like 50 hands where i missed the flush or straight with one card now, and ive hit a flush once(ofcourse the dealer didnt qualify). While the dealer keeps on getting trips and straights the best hand i won on outa around 200 hands is two pairs. Same thing goes with their blackjack. The dealer can take card after card without busting, while its impossible for the dealer.

 

[Enve]

Biggest money eaters for me at RTG:

Pay Dirt - NOTHING GETS PAYED. I believe I only saw the feature once in my whole duration.

Texas Tycoon - No feature or any significant payout during rolls EVER.

 

[09237653]

Hitman can be pretty brutal if you catch it at the wrong time.
Other than that ill echo IR, TS2, TDK, TFROL, can also add Girls with Guns and all three Untamed games to the list.
Basically any 243 way slot.

 

[gloria460]

Paydirt is awful..I agree completly with that..also crystal waters in free spin mode, vulcan, and triple toucan. My deposits have almost totally dropped off from rtg as the line pays, pays nothing and when you hit the bonus round you don't hardly get a thing.

Learned a lesson in not taking a bonus when you play rtg bc 99.9% of the time you will not clear it due to high variance of all the games.

I always play only 11 Lines on Triple Toucan ... Of course, you increase the variance by doing so, but my bankroll lasts much much longer by doing this. It works for me. I can play 2c per line at 22c instead of 1c per line at 20c. You will miss a few hits on the odd occasion, but it can boost a bankroll and halve the cost if you get a few hits....

Like any Slot - It's a chance - irrelevant of the amount of lines played Don't take what I say as gospel!!

[PNEFOREVER2]

Definitely Immortal Romance is the biggest money eater for me, there was a time when I played it everytime I deposited for 6 months and the only time I ever hit something was a £180 win on the 3rd feature.

Starting to get tired of TS2 too tbh, last 3 months has been dreadful, really need to start playing something different.

Not meaning to hijack the thread but anyone any suggestions MG-wise?

 

[Greigssy]

Biggest money eaters.........any slot that has lines,coins and a spin button generally.

 

[plasticnote]

did $1.6k on various netent slots today. no 100x ... suddenly have a reflect on a famous saying "it will do you slowly"

it is pain when you felt all of them are hopeless...

DOA, 14 months no 5 wilds on a win line... I played almost daily...

 

[Nate]

Ask for some stats on my last IR stint (From my initial post)

Wagered 16,409.10
Payouts 14,568.96
Spins 6,029
RTP 89%

I have NOT played the game much but my lifetime stats on the game are:

Wagered 111,332.10
Payouts 107,048.07
Spins 48,470
RTP 96%

Within those stats and as far as I can recall - I have never had 4 Wild Reels nor have I had a payout bigger than 300x bet. All the Spins are at 32Red - I rarely play the game elsewhere.

i did 600k spins for 4x 4reels, 150k spin per 4 reels. you are not too far away.

 

[Nate]

Yes - I saw that Kktmd also had roughly 3 x 4 Wild Desire features in close to 550 000 spins. You had 4 in about 600 000... Looks like they are RARE.

I am due one - I hope its when I'm playing Max Bet
