New Slot Announcement Book Of 99 by Relax Gaming

I ran this to a 99 book bonus a few times last night so my numbers are a bit better now.

To trigger the 99 books is about 200 spins at the low end, 300 or a bit more at the high end. That means you've basically got a bonus guarantee every 300 spins - which is good.

Natural feature trigger frequency feels about the same as BOD to me (a slot I've played quite a lot), and BOD can go on some mean streaks when it wants to, just the same as BO99 can.

Best feature pay so far is just over 1000x stake, which involved four of the top symbols on a spin in free spins.

Base game pays aren't amazing, but it has hit a 100x stake stop trigger a few times.

All that said, it's very easy to get to the end of the 99 book bonus, with or without features along the way, and still be a chunk of change down.

This is undoubtedly a pretty volatile slot, and even with the 99% RTP the house still has the edge of course, add in its volatility and ability to chuck in really shit paying features and/or go on a bit of a feature drought, coupled with a base game that can be stingey too, even the effective 'feature guarantee' doesn't make it a slam dunk for minimal losses and/or extended playtime.

Definitely one I'll be giving a go at in real money when it's released, albeit on modest 20p spins :D

Hopefully Unibet will take it on.
 
Hit the top symbol in base game on my only 200 spin run , so it can also pay.

VS likes to brag about having all the slots they can , so I don't see why they wouldn't bring it on. They got the likes of Marching Legions on there already
 
Just search on YouTube, Top 10 Slot Wins on Book Of Dead and you will see them...... loads and loads have hit the max win in 1 spin and it ends the bonus. Yet I think also in this same video which I will not even mention who's channel it is on this forum as I am not a fan of them what so ever that it also has the bonuses where it continues past the 5000X too.

Who knows if the ones that carry on past the 5000X is legit or not. I do not trust that company anyway and that channel using the same name :p
Info screen in BoD says "win up to 250 000 coins".
So let's say you play with 50cent bet. If your coin value is 0.01 and number of coins is 5 then you play with 50 coins so the max.win is 5000x (250 000 / 50). But if you play with system where coin value is 0.05 but number of coins is 1 (same 50cent total bet) then you play with 10 coins so max.win is 25 000x. Right? Yes i can be wrong with this but that was just my calculation. :D

Im not a fan of you either, What so ever.

Sometimes in times of darkness a light shines through.

With providers like PlaynGo and Pragmatic shaping online slots in favour of the casino, by smothering the market with low RTP versions, you would be forgiven for considering another past time if you play in the UK.

Well wait! - Because through adversity comes greatness and there is one provider we should all be paying homage to (spending money on) that clearly thinks of the player when they are busy fighting the good fight in the RTP war:

Relax Gaming

'Book Of 99'

99% RTP


Coming soon to a casino near you. (May) :)
Well said, we must add Push gaming in with PNG . I have played them all Big and Small, the only and I mean only high volatile slot I play now is Money Train 2. The base game is fair and you don't get the feeling your 20 spins is going to result in a total waste, while having the potential for a nice hit. The rest are just money pits imho, your better off buying a scratch ticket. It will come back to bite these scam developers in the end when people finally have had enough lining up to the slaughter. I would like to see Rainbow Jackpots redone without all the mind numbing teases lol Have a good night and be well
 
Does anyone know when this is due out? VS had it for about 37 minutes and then it disappeared, haven't seen it anywhere else?
They pulled it when they realized their mistake in offering a slot over 94%.

Been playing this loads at Skol Casino, some at SlotNite Casino and a little at LeoVegas and love it, not just because it's a decent slot but because of the RTP of course.

As surprising as it may seem, I have had a bad session on it. It's still designed in the casino's favour, as you know, but it's a players release...........

Recommend in a heartbeat, just be mindful its still a slot :)
 
Will be named Book of 99 attempts to do one spin at Novibet if it plays like most the games over there. Made a small deposit there the other day and half the games I tried wouldn't even load, the rest were constantly giving communication errors. Useless.

Yes, I saw mention of this somewhere else I think, luckily for me I've not had any errors but only played a couple of times there over the last week.

Extremely off-putting with consistent errors.
 
I've got an account at LeoVegas but it has decided to show me a pop up that suggests I'm playing from the USA (!?!?!), if I click on the UK flag it logs me in but then immediately logs me out again.

I've never heard of Skol Casino, is it legit?

I was hoping this game would turn up at Unibet, Rizk or 21Casino but no sign at either.

Served at 2.8% ? This means if you start with £100 and play at £1 a spin you'll get only 103 spins before you go bust. Be careful out there slot fans...

Crikey has it got even pissier? It used to be 3.2% didn't it?

I occasionally partook of a Skol in the past if I wasn't in the mood for drinking.
 
Brand new WHG site. Max RTP on all I've seen. 48 hour pending but I've had 4 withdrawals all within or around that mark.

So far so good.
Cheers bamber, might give them a go :)
 
Well I've signed up at the bizarrely named Skol Casino, I'll give Book of 99 a decent session this evening for the next video on my channel.

The SUB is not available to UK players but it seemed to recognise my IOM address OK and I was able to take the SUB (well, there are five SUBs actually), although Book of 99, unsurprisingly, contributes 0% to wagering :D

Site itself seems clean and simple to use, and it has an option to list games by provider, which is something that continues to elude, for example, Unibet.
 
I find this a quite worrying release in the bigger picture of things. Won't be winning any popularity contests, but figured what the hell, posting anyway.

The trend of moving towards extremely volatile games and now potentially games that return 99% to player, can only work for operators that are big enough in the industry.

Even they won't be happy with it, but they'll survive it. The smaller ones that still have to fight for their market space and can still be influenced by swings (big wins) are very negatively impacted by this. Not because they cannot afford to pay the big wins that high-volatility creates (if they can't, they have no right to be in the space anyway), but because it affects the margins (NGR minus cost of sales) so dramatically.

Game suppliers – in a traditional contract – ask for a profit sharing and (sometimes) a minimum guaranteed fee, but will never share in the loss. If players win in any given month, the operator is required to pay the minimum “profit” sharing, but won’t see it deducted by the wins.

In a game model where the selling proposition in recent years clearly moved-away from low volatile titles to not just high volatile titles, but extreme volatile titles, the commercial model in which you operate as an operator becomes shaky. When a slot takes it all in one month, to then spew it away the next one, you end-up paying superficially high revenue share percentages that you at the start of the cooperation would never agree with. Simple example:

Month A: 100 EUR bets; 0 EUR wins -> profit sharing of 10% on 100 EUR = 10 EUR
Month B: 100 EUR bets; 180 EUR wins -> profit sharing of 10% on 0 EUR = 0 EUR, maybe a minimum fee on top in addition, depending on the supplier.

Even without minimum fee, you have now paid 10 EUR in fees on 20 EUR in revenue, in other words, 50%. This is of course an extreme example to illustrate a point, but you get the picture. It changes the margins dramatically.

High-volatile games were a good innovation by the game suppliers, don't get me wrong, it was an instant hit with players and I believe it also generated a lot of new blood (traffic) that previously wasn't interested by online games. So while it represented a problem to small and medium players and their margins and while it was a big shift (commercially) in favor of the supplier, it also had a lot of pro's for the casino itself.

If, however, you are now going to take it even further and mix high volatility into a 99% RTP model, you are creating games that may work well for you individually as a supplier (I’m sure they’ll get plenty of exposure from streamers with it), but that do not work for the partners that hosts the games. Maybe for a select few that are sufficiently big, but not for those below that size. If you eliminate competition this way, you’ll end-up in an environment with just a few big players out there and nothing else (except for those not giving a damn about ethics anyway, as they'll confiscate the win later on anyway). In my view, that cannot be healthy.

That is why I’m personally not very happy about this release, because I like to play on new casino's (that are rated decently) because they are still "hungry" and generally speaking often offer a better personalized service than the big ones. Moreover so, because the motive for the release - I'm sure - wasn't altruism and "supporting the player", more an attempt to regain market share that was slowly deteriorating with new suppliers arriving on the scene.

I don’t think it’s a benefit to the average casino player in the bigger scheme of things, when competition gets eliminated, innovation stops and just two categories of casino’s remain: those that scam & those that launched early enough to have made their money in easier circumstances. Because I am 100% sure a small and medium sized casino cannot run on a 99% RTP + high volatility game model (when doing things properly) and even for the big mammoths in the industry it will ultimately start representing a problem, certainly in territories where extra taxes are due. The best proof of that being that quite a few of them already moved to lower RTP versions of games that were "just" around 97%.

So who this release really caters to, is indeed the player (short-term), but in the long-term, those that creatively find ways to lower the payout ratio (e.g declining withdrawals), unhindered by even > 100% RTPs. And the game supplier itself of course...
 
Surely it's just for casinos to decide for themselves if they want to take the game or not? By all accounts a lot of places aren't taking Book Of 99 on, which is their choice.

I don't see this as starting some kind of trend towards mega-high RTP games, it's more of a one-off novelty I suspect, and at the end of the day it's only possible to plug away at a single game for so long.

TBH I'm finding it very hard to find a way to turn the existence of a 99% game into something that's bad for players, although I do appreciate the substantial effort you applied to the task in your post!
 
Dude are you really worried about casinos not making enough? Go and have a look at the bonanza thread here , hopefully you will feel sorry for the players lol
 
Could you link that one @jaydub? Doesn't ring a bell :)

About the point itself, let me put it differently: in a world where the player is only focused on RTP and avoids brands that do not offer 99% RTP games (if that were to become a trend) and only favors those that do, I do believe the player is worse-off, because the only way for that to work for small-medium (and I believe even big, in the long run) casino's, is to get creative elsewhere.

So if you start from that principle...

But you are of course completely right when you say that the casino still decide themselves what games they offer and what games they do not offer, so that in that sense the market will "do its thing" and it's best to enjoy the short-term benefits as a player and not think too far ahead :)
 
Buffalo Re-Spin


95.11% RTP

Buffalo Re-Spin​


Buffalo Re-Spins Slot Game Details
Journey to the Wild West with Cayetano Gaming's Buffalo Re-Spins video slot, where the golden buffalo is key to bagging you locked re-spins and up to 21 golden free spins. Every winning combination that features a buffalo symbol triggers a re-spin, with all present buffalo symbols locked in place. The bonus only ends when no new buffalo symbols land on the reels.
This 1,024-ways-to-win slot is one of the most action-packed releases from Cayetano, with a low-to-medium volatility RTP also ensuring the frequency of bonus features is higher than most slots.

Buffalo Re-Spins Symbols​

A quick glance at the Buffalo Re-Spins paytable reveals 11 different base game symbols on this five-reel slot. There are six playing card-style symbols from nine through to Ace, followed by five animal-themed symbols inspired by the wilderness of the west.
The buffalo is the highest-value symbol, capable of paying out 6x your initial stake when you land five on a payline. That's followed by symbols such as eagles, panthers, wolves and deer.

Features and How to Play Buffalo Re-Spins Slot​

  • Start spinning the reels from 0.10 credits
  • 1,024 active paylines
  • 6x maximum jackpot
  • Win up to 21 free spins
  • RTP: 95.11%
  • Slot provider:
    You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
As the name of the slot proves, it's all about the Buffalo Re-Spins in this game. Whenever you land a winning payline including a buffalo symbol you'll receive one free spin, with all present buffalos locked in place for it to try and land even bigger winning combos on your respin.
Look out for the Free Spins scatter symbol too. Whenever three or more of these land anywhere on the reels you can be sure of at least seven free spins. Find five or more scatters during the same spin to win the maximum 21 respins. During this bonus stage, find another two scatters during any of your respins to be awarded another five free spins!
In the Free Spins feature, golden buffalos can also land on the reels and transform other base game symbols into buffalo symbols for the remainder of the bonus. Lock in 16 or more golden buffalos to turn the four highest paying symbols into buffalos for the remainder of the feature.

Buffalo Re-Spins RTP​

An RTP of 95.11% means that Cayetano's Buffalo Re-Spins is a low-to-medium volatility slot, with plenty of wild western re-spins possible on these five reels.
For more western-themed slot action we'd recommend that you sample Mustang Gold.

Wonder what they mean with this part.
Rtp and volatility are two separate things that have nothing to do with each other.

All 95.11% rtp tells me is that its on the lower side of things when it comes to rtp.

Not sure why they say that, all i know is that its a bonus quick hit slot, and any follow up after the hit just get's eaten back up quick. Other thing is that when it hits, the payout is better then most slot i know. Worth a try i guess;)

Furthermore just looking at rtp alone, does not do the slot justice, its only when u try it out, can you really tell, what a slot is like, you cannot "judge a book by its cover", just like ppl.

I really didnt mean it as a diss, i just thought it was a bit odd that they say its low-medium volatile due to the 95% rtp.
I do think 95% is on the lower side of things, but i still play alot of novomatics, and they are all at 95% and can be great when they are in the mood.

Everyone knows the best slots run 96.82% rtp.

Here's my session on this from last night, also features a new Play 'N Go game and there's a cheeky little feature at the end on Punk Rocker :)

I respect your opinion. Still, we could not be further apart in our way of thinking.

Though one point you mentioned about average players having to adjust when high volatility games hit the market was interesting; Players are going through the same now. Except for one major difference - The games are even more volatile with lower hit rates combined with lower RTP's.

Cutting players time does not benefit players, casinos or providers

The players are not demanding these games either as some providers like to portray. High volatility games are pushed by providers fighting for youtube mega wins with less risk to the casino now because in some cases, they are doubling the house edge. They are also massively different to a highly volatile slot of old.

Book Of 99 is a players slot but it's not dooming the industry. How many games come in at over 96% now? If it gains in popularity like it should it will still make a casino profit. Besides, how many Book of 99 slots do you think are out there? :)

Providing the catalogue of games from Relax makes money on the whole and it will, I dont see why Relax don't demand its taken, of course, that would be pretty drastic and potentially damaging to their brilliant network of games, so the choice is there.

I think you are way off. This slot is not bad for casinos it's good to offer this kind of variety. Players losing money quicker is worse for the industry in the long run. And smaller outfits have always had to find ways to distinguish themselves - that's business.

This is one slot that should still make money and it wont break a casino either, have you played it? It's really not that volatile in my experience, although Relax say it is and they should know :)

And I dont think casinos are forced into lowering RTP's through taxes either, plus am yet to see any evidence to back that up. They are making more money than ever.
 
Here's my session on this from last night, also features a new Play 'N Go game and there's a cheeky little feature at the end on Punk Rocker :)



Good video mate, I would have a chat with CS about that pop-up throwing you out. They appear in-game as they should for me.

Love Punk Rocker too and most since seem to have poor hit rates and dont inspire me.
 
Good video Chop. Rather reflected my experience of playtime when I played it for the 'golden hours' on VS. My high point was hitting a 4OAK premium symbol on 20p stake. Other than that, your video portrays usual play scenario. I think if you're not getting a premium in the bonus round then the potential really isn't there. I don't think non premiums, even given their substantially larger presence on the reels means 4 and 5OAK's are more frequent. It seemed quite gimped to me. A bit like the symbol picked doesn't matter on a Bonanza bonus it's just eye candy. I think the danger here is the uninitiated will expect the slot to pay if they have a mild awareness of RTP and the normal rules of variance may be lost to them.

Great post mate !!! I agree with you 100% .

Before pandemic I always played in land based , mostly table games and so are the other people , most of the customers play blackjack , baccarat which I think has 99% RTP when played optimal( correct me if I am wrong ) .... Still I saw people loosing their wages in matter of few hours on those tables with 99% RTP ...

The house always wins as long as the RTP is less than 100% :)
 
So apart from Rizk casino what other casino has this slot for the UK players?

I saw people say that MrGreen has it. But I searched for it on MrGreen and it is not found. Same for some other slots too, Like they do not even have My fav slot from Thunderkick Baron Bloodmore?

So if anyone can tell me which casinos have this slot I would greatly appreciate it :)

Thanks in advance :)
 
All of the WHG brands I play had it when I last checked:

Skol, Slotnite, 21Casino, 21Prive and Hello Casino.

Ok yeah thanks so much. I just made an account with Skol Casino. Can I ask what withdraw times is like for PayPal?

I am happy they have PayPal, I noticed they have a lot of providers too and a filter too. Which makes it great and user friendly to search and easily able to find slots from certain providers if you forget the name of a slot but you know the provider, you can just filter the provider lol :)
