BTG feature buys no longer in the UK

Isn't it crazy that people with no issue have to see their slots removed/changed to help people that shouldn't be playing casinos in the first place?
What business or responsibility is it of mine how people conduct their gambling affairs?

And isn't it crazy that games producers are creating games with such bad base game play, and terrible bonus frequency.
That buying a bonus became necessary, in the first place?

Did anyone force you to play those shitty games? I simply don't play them, why would you?

Or maybe they just thought that adding Buy A Bonus would appeal to some people...

Just a thought

That's only because the base games are so low variance that it wouldn't work to have a high variance feature popping up too often. The base game RTPs of some of these slots must be approaching 60-70%
 
Another thing: There are some game providers out there *cough* Pragmatic Play *cough* where the turbo spins are so ridiculously fast that the base game is nothing more than a buy a bonus in disguise. Is it OK or that's next in line?

I think you have to manually click in Thunderkick's case, but I'm fairly sure Thunderkick games are literally the fastest playing games in existence if you manually quickspin. Even faster than Pragmatic. Say good bye to your money.
 
Not really. In most cases a specific time frame will be set, some will act straightaway, others will wait until the last minute!
IMO - this is exactly one way how we can judge good an bad casino behaviour - those leaving to the last minute are just trying to screw every penny possible, and will be hoping they can get some converts from the more reputable sites

Not quite relevant - some people can drive perfectly safely after two pints - others cannot.

Ths issue is not just about problem gambling - it is about casinos being fair. TBH it is no different than the restrictive but player protective rules set by the UKGC for Blackjack and other table games. (Such as not being able to split on certain numbers, and not being able to double down on any hand - these rules all increase return to player - not profit to casino)
 
We received the news yesterday and advised our partners to take the games offline immediately which they have done. We are looking to redeploy the games in the future. The games may maintain the coins and deliver a feature drop once the price tag is at zero. We have enquiried to see if there is an acceptable benchmark purchase price (in terms of the reduction) we will keep you up to date with any decisions either way.

Maybe unanswerable currently, however, if the feature buy coins remain, will those already earnt at individual sites be honoured or would everything would be reset back to the default(s)?
 
Would have though VS would have been very quick off the mark to remove the buy games after their 1 million slap on the wrist
but seems they want to be the last to do so, makes you wonder if they are just in it for the money...
or is it just me being cynical

Not sure what you are talking about.
Sure, the spin goes superquick, but then its a 3-second delay until next turbospin.
:p

UK is 2.5 seconds from the top of my head, Sweden is 3 indeed for each spin. But "the governor" is from Norway if I'm not mistaking, so yeah, he can play ultra fast turbo spins. I don't see it as buying a bonus in disguise as I still see a basegame happening with potentially also big pay outs.

Yeah, i was just kidding a bit.
I do think the turbospins are way to fast tho.
Wheres the fun in playing slots if you dont even have the time to see whats happening.
Might as well buy the bonus then. =)
 
The simple fact is that feature buy is the most responsible way to make a 4 euro bet or higher (I think that is the smallest feature buy I have seen).
That is a fact nobody can deny, so there is no room for hate here. You can't hate something that can be used for good.

Of course there is also the temptation to do higher and irresponsible bets. Can't deny that either, but the solusion is a simple one: set max bet.

I dont like the buy-feature, not because of the price, but because most slots with the buy feature are close to impossible to land a bonus by just playing.
I still play some of them, like genie jackpots megaways, and sometimes vikings unleashed, but landing a feature is like bonanza difficulty x10

I actually find genie slot quite easy to bonus on. Just most bonuses pay next to nothing .It is one slot i would never buy a bonus on as chances of even breaking even are slim.
