What's peoples thoughts on these all flash no cash slots?

They look good, the extra bonus features are a nice touch and that's about it. I can't see or find the potential outwith winning the actual jackpots themselves.

I've had tens of thousands of spins but I can count on one hand how many times I've won 100x bet and I count on one finger how many times I've won +200xbet.

Low paying pay-tables with a high variance experience, betting anything other than minimum is a quick death.

The random bonuses either show up across all slots regular or they are nowhere to be seen for 100+ spins like they are all connected in some way. When they do show up you can very much guarantee getting wins of 15x or under. Amazingly that common random feature that adds like 50+ bonus symbols to the reel stack never actually triggers a bonus, probably a 1 in 20 hit.

3 scatters (hens teeth) doesn't even get you a decent bonus instead you have to gamble up some sort of shit ladder where the higher bonuses are supposed to pay more. More often than not ending up with a cash reward again of 15x bet.

They are down there with that cunted Pariplay for low paying spins, actually achieving anything decent and that's saying something.

My latest experience was at Betfair bet £20 on the slots to get a 100% bonus that has to be wagered on the same slots x30 (£600), talk about an impossible mission and it was. Would be surprised if anybody managed it!
 
They can be brutal but also go on good streaks.

Hit plenty of £100 wins on 20p bets on them.

King Kong cash and Count Duckula are my two favourites and done well on them. Where as Ted i find real hard to win on

King Kong cash was the only slot I've won the 200x on funnily enough which is non-branded. The newer licensed stuff is quite obviously paying for them licenses, like Playtechs DC collectors.
 
I would question the actual randomness of these games too - when they are rarely “hot” you will be playing for half an hour with lots of microwins bringing you upto 200x, but they seem to have no sudden random “balance savers” you get in other slots like Microgaming.

The biggest “tell” is the random features you get in them all - King kong cash case in point. If he is sat there sleeping for ages after 100x spins its definately time to move on.

Conversely when in “hotmode” he wakes up every ten spins or so.

No way that sort of deviation in play is random, not for a segment of 500+ spins. No one is consistantly lucky/unlucky for that many spins.
 
I agree with the OP - I find these to be dreadful money eaters and never play them after testing or reviewing them. I just get a bad feeling about the lack of potential and hopelessness if 100x bet down or more.
 
I thought Blueprint are supposed to be player- friendly? I guess....not :eek2:

My brief foray with Ted the other week was fun, quite a bit of playtime. Yet as mentioned, my daring to up bets to an incredible 40p led to a complete death of any features. Which were plentiful on 20p. I wasn't amused at the turnaround :mad:
 
good games , yes can be brutal , i find to play them in 100 spins , your pretty quickly know if its worth carrying on , had many 200x bets plus a few 500x & a couple of 1000x bets , ted seems to be the worst to be honest yet to see a 200x bet above , kong is good & wish upon a jackpot , although i did hit hefy elephant feature with four wilds 2,3,4 & 5 along with shite symbols which hit 100x @£4 which was disappointing any decent symbol in middle would of taken me over 200x bet , but the more you play you should get used to the 100 spin if any of them are not kicking in the random feature often you'll get nowhere , dont gamble up the ladder either you can get some good wins on lower level features as ive found out on many occasions)
 
i played "Count Duckola", Jackpot king slot, at WilliamHill and almost got the jackpot..4 jackpot symbol ..missed the last one lol(yea right..dream on!:laugh:).
Like the game, had couple of bonus rounds and feature trigger's..which was good.When you get the big money bonus..its awesome, had 5x multiplier spin on the Wheel, and won a £100, just from the big money wheel bonus alone!.

a couple of weeks ago i took 20 for 20 promo at betfair. Played Ted on 40c bets, and managed to wager $52 with starting $40.

Ive had my fair share of wins on blueprint slots (not jp ones mind you) but they are either completely dead or giving features every 10 spins, there really is no in between. JP slots are worse because rtp is around 90% (ive seen some with 89% RTP !) so naturally dead runs are going to happen even more often there and yes i agree its nightly impossible to wager anything on those because of amount of dead spins and poor base game potential, if you dont hit a feature you are as good as gone

they are all pretty similar really but id also rank Ted as the worst of the bunch. My fav are Jungle one and Wild antics, Wish upon a jackpot can be nice too but i believe it has lower RTP and king kong is ok...ish too. Im not 100% positive but i think ive seen 2 different rtp % at different casinos for Wish upon a jackpot and i think one was like 94% which is a bit low for todays standards

That's exactly the offer I took, ang given that the selection was somewhat....limited, I opted for Ted.

So like you, had the £40 starting balance, up and down, features were coming at a ridiculous pace, at one point I thought to myself "What have I been missing out on", well, up until the point I upped my bets and it played completely differently. For all the doubts about game integrity out there, this game really tested my stance on it.

It felt very, very 'un-random' shall we say :(

I want to try The Naked Gun, now I'm not so sure. I suppose there are only a couple worth playing, King Kong & Dracula I guess :cool:
 
They have Blueprint at Video Slots and Spin Rider for Canadians. I agree with many people's assessments here. They can be very brutal and full of teases but the bonuses can pay. I had a good 230x win in King Kong Cash and good bonuses in Ted and Naked Gun in the 90x range. Top Cat, however, has raped my balance repeatedly. I actually have watched Top Cat for decades and seeing him in this rigged slot makes me sad.
 
I've played many of these quite a bit lately (spins definitely in the thousands) and have actually really enjoyed them. Jungle Jackpots (oddly enough not a jackpot game) and King Kong Cash are by far my favorites. Hits in the 50-200x range have been happening surprisingly often and regularly in streaks too. I've had a much better time playing these games lately than MG or NetEnt. The the bonus gamble feature has also been fun for me although I understand if somebody doesn't like it. They definitely can go on cold streaks eating 100x bets or more without giving much back but they absolutely also do the opposite. I usually avoid the ones with jackpots as their RTP is somewhere in the 92s if you're not counting the jackpot part of it where as the ones without are in the 95,5-96% range.
 
Not overly keen on them - decent slots if you want to make a stab with some 20p bets - you can get lucky. Not just BP games that struggle with 200 plus X wins: I must have had 10 DVH/Bonanza bonus's tonight and biggest was 200x :mad:

Have had a few 300 x wins on top cat though - but if you do hit it, get out. It's like they sense your hope :)
 
I'm glad to see it's not just me that has these experiences playing them. I just had a go at Andy Capp (UK newspaper cartoon) and again it's dead spin after dead spin with the occasional random bonus tease. £20 to 0 in 120x0.20 spins.

The older slot 'Fortunes of Sparta' has it always been a Blueprint slot? As this can at least pay huge in the bonus, with the potential of 100 free spins also. Playing this now it's definitely nowhere near as good as it was a few years ago.
That's why I ask, if it has been taken over and re-jigged to BP variance.
 
Wouldn't surprise me if other companies have started aping the dreaded 'Netent Variance' and incorporated that into their design. It's simple: get a likeable IP, load it with loads of distracting-but-futile features so that players fall behind, and you got yourself a winner!
 
Blueprint slots. Based just down the road from me. Use to have some good fun out there slots, They also provide land based machines in the area however this area dwindled due to bigger more finance companies picking up big contracts for the area. Over the last 6 years they have been doing a lot with there older slots, Some of you may have noticed them vanish then come back after a few month. Call it a upgrade, Downside it seems the rtp is paying for the upgrade as all of them have come back around 1.7 rtp lower than they left. Some neat games thou

There just down the road from me too :)

Would love to work for them, I love everything about slot design, and have worked in the gaming industry all my life but I'm too thick when it comes to stuff like HTML5 etc LOL

You must be close to me then, well when i say just up the road its about 35 miles
 
The thing about the blueprint with Jackpotking attached to them is that they have a much lower RTP around 92% or so to seed the Jackpot. So you are more likely to lose your money quickly on them compared to the normal bluerpint without the jackpotking feature.

I've gotten the Jackpotking feature a few times on Skyvegas, never won one of the jackpots ofcourse but a few 80x ish here and there. Andycap paid me 230x the stake once from one of the bonus features.

Top Cat was always a serial rapist anyway, all those illegitimate kittens in the alley where he ruled. He had free run of the pussies whether they liked it or not. What do you think he did in that bin? Yeah, when we were little they tried to dress it up as a cartoon, but some us knew the truth.
 
Balance eating slots for the most part. They can destroy $300 balance on .80 with nothing but a 20x win often enough.

I hit the jackpot wheel on Duckula last year and won 1000x on .80
