The 9 shocking ones are why they can afford to pay the huge amount on the fourth one

Uhh this seems dangerous

Are we lucky this gonna hit the danish market soon? plenty of blueprint slots but not this yet.

I did 10 hrs straight real money autoplay! Never bought the feature. I don't know how many spins, 10,000 maybe?

I started with 100x bet deposit that was gone in 400 spins. Then another 100x bet deposit that lasted for the rest of the day!
Worst drop of balance 300x - 400x. Most big wins from the 20 bonuses, max 267x, 2-3 at 160x and 2-3 at 100x. Base game gave one 240x and two 100x. Only 2 times a 5 scatter trigger, only 2 times a retrigger in a bonus.

It feels really hard to get a big win in this, but it is really capable. Reason is the paytable, it has smaller pays for small wins than Bonanza, but the same big ones. Combined with the starting multiplier and number of spins it can go very high.
I always took 4th option in spins, the random one, but it never delivered the best combination. It did gave the worst one 3 times and one of them really hurt because it was from a 5 scatter trigger.

With the potential (higher than Bonanza), the bonus frequency (same with Bonanza), the base game (maybe better) and the min bet (half than Bonanza) I would say it is a better slot.
Forgot about the mystery symbol! It is very nice visually, not frequent, doesn't pay half of the time in base game, but it usually pays in bonus and it does deliver max pay symbols.

 

[nikantw]

Not easy, my best with bought feature

No, wait! This is my best from a bought feature!

 

[pinnit2014]

Best I had was 770x from a 20p bonus. After that... zilch. Better than diamond mine imo but does like to chuck out a good 2x bonus result

 

[TheAddict]

Tried maybe 35 buys in free play earlier picking random every time, all on min bet.
Had 15spins with 5multiplier start that also retriggered twice, multiplier went upto 29x. On min bet so bought for ten and that paid £42.xx.
Had 15spins with 10x multiplier start 3 times, those went for roughly 17.xx 23.xx and 34.xx
After a while, the only enjoyment for me was to predict which of the shittest symbols those mystery icons would turn into. Got pretty good at it tbh.

I can see where you’re coming from but as your results are showing an average return of £108.70 for every £100 it actually comes across as quite tempting!

Bottom line is manufacturers seem to have taken the buy a feature and making those more high variance with each release. It is very out of order. Anything to try and get you to run through your money faster. There was a time when a £100 deposit would last quite a while on 20-50p spins. Not any more because seemingly everyone wants slots which can pay 1500x plus. At least that is how the companies releasing these view it and with the numbers coming out who am I to argue.

I wouldn’t buy features unless like chilli you can get them at next to nothing after collecting coins but the above would scare me off for good. I mean if it wasn’t for the 4th hit you would be well miffed and for arguments sake if that win had been on the 9th spin you may of become so disillusioned that you gave up after 7 or 8.

 

[dunover]

This game frightens me.
I just played 1000 demo money at 100 buy-ins and chose the 5 spins starting at 10x EVERY time.
I lasted for 21 features.
I NEVER ONCE got my 100 back, 92.30 and 88.80 being my best 2 results. Lowest was 8.20.
Average was around 46x until I bust out.
Every third feature paid in the 20's.

Not once did the mystery symbols reveal a picture icon.
The only 6-OAK wins I had consisted of 9's.

Not one retrigger.

Shocking game. Utterly dreadful.

I hate to think of a problem gambler playing this mutha.

Pretty “random” then . On the face of it if every feature buy you did paid £96 ( or whatever the rtp is) you can’t argue you had a rough deal. That’s the the problem in the long term you are going to lose so feature buys just speed up the process. The best you can hope for is to hit massive in the first few attempts and never go down that road again IMO.

 

[L&L-Jan]

Yesterday lost 1750 on 5 bet, today so far 750 down on 5. Triggered 3 features in total:

First feature: 11x
Second feature 173x
Third feature:

I did not buy one single feature.

There is a lot about the slot that I like, but the FS feature feels like its not that exciting at Bonanza or Diamond mine. Maybe due to the time a spin last or lack of anticipation, which is done great with "Mystery wishes feature" on genie jackpots.

Anyway, im back gambling

Ciao!

 

[L&L-Jan]

payout on combo's are different as well btw, one woke up

 

[L&L-Jan]

His little brother is more fun though

 

[L&L-Jan]

10 spins in....

 

[Greigssy]

£20 in and 60 spins@ 0.20 then stopped so I could see what the feature was like and I was getting hammered.
£10 to buy-in returned £0.30.
That's a ridiculous return, I know its technically a 0.10 bet but fuck me that's insulting!

This is tilt-bate! I can see how a player would go full tilt mode with these feature buy-ins trying to at least recover.

 

[snorky510238]

Feature buys are there for one reason only and that is to speed up the losing money process.

You can’t blame the feature buy, it’s something I’ll ever use as it detracts from being a slot and is essentially a fobty.
I don’t agree with it one bit online, however personal choice has to figure somewhere, I mean it’s the player who chooses to buy a feature. You are not forced to... if you have a problem saying no then maybe you should look at your gambling habits as a whole.
Again I hate the idea, I don’t think it should be allowed, but you can choose not to.

I don’t have a problem saying no, I closed down the slot after this and moved on, the only reason I bought this feature as i was staring down the barrel and I hadn’t triggered one in 3 days.

I know no-one is forcing the buy but this has a bonus hit frequency similar to bonanza, a pretty tough base game and a severe lack of 6oaks appearing. So I can see why actually buying the bonus seems more appealing than spinning 1000’s for a natural one it’s almost gouding you to buy one.

 

[Siohmy]

The actual wins clearly have to be tweaked a bit because, if nothing else, the feature can be taken with 15 spins at 1x. That's already 3 more than Bonanza and Diamond Mine. As the bonus buy in is 100x and it pays at 97% it's got to rake it back somewhere. Most noticeable is the 1x pay for 2 of the top symbol instead of 2x. Suspect this helps significantly. I am giving feature buys a wide berth. I get that slot companies have to look at ways of increasing profits. The majority of players likely play <£1 spins and the RTP has remained high. It's tougher and tougher to attract new customers so how exactly do you go about getting that growth?

Either take SG's line and introduce staggered RTP models which gives the majority of your client base a poorer game or push the feature buys. The theory is the high rollers effectively subsidise the low rollers similar to an airline subsidising economy passengers with money made from business and upper class. Unfortunately, unlike air travel, most low rollers are in a position to buy the high roller deal with money they probably cannot afford. This is the latest example and it will get worse due to greed. £30 feature buys are pretty much £30 slot spins which last a minute or two.

 

[kazzi]

Did play this yeasterday with a few buy feature and was horribole, then today trigger in 15spins paid 345x another 100spins later another feature pays 491x, and a few 40-50x wins in main game all under 200spins just crazy

First i took random 10spins 5x, next i just took the 10spins 5x.

Totally get that, and wasn’t being condescending at all.
I just hate how it’s like slotting is now getting like £50 buys in the bookies in the uk for so called ‘mega spins’ I’m happy to spin through hundreds of spins no bonus as that’s a slot...
to buy a feature to me just seems like a really expensive scratch card and takes away the fun of playing.
Just my opinion obviously, but don’t really like where it’s all going..
Bonanza was great, new refreshing and fun, now it’s licensed all over the place and it’s to me a bit zzz...
I’d love a new but based on a old school classic slot to be released, no megaways no but a feature, just decent potential that’s realistically achievable.

 

[BrianGhattas]

Certainly wonder which game is the best: Diamond Mine, Genie or Buffalo? I’m dying to play the latter two even if they’re money drains. Again, had better bonuses on Diamond Mine than Bonanza as of late.

 

[gk286]

Played this today for the first time. Talk about high variance. Took me about £50 down at £0.20 to trigger the feature which I selected 5 spins at 10x paid £1.78..

Played on and decided to use the mystery option next feature, got 15 spins at 1x which gave £7.xx

Significantly down I decided one more feature, again it took forever but eventually triggered with 5 scatters so this time got 19 spins at 5x and this paid big £93.14
I quit the game at this point with a small win. Not for me.

 

[Greigssy]

Another 700 spins through this and still can't get a natural bonus trigger and it always destroys my balance under 50%RTP
Tried two £10 feature buys 10-5x paid £1.26 and 5-10x paid £1.64.

I like a volatile slot but I'll stick to Bonanza+Irish Riches for my mega-ways slotting as I can hold my own on them, anything else I play is an advert for Gamstop.

 

[robby811]

5 FS 10X

 

[BrianGhattas]

Managed to get a bonus and chose 10 spins 5x. Got 103x.

Seems to be more forgiving early in than Genie Wilds or Diamond Mine were.

 

[Jd666]

Just tried a couple of tenner bonus buys on this for the first time.
First one I chose the 10 spins with 5x start........ just over 2 quid won.
Second one I chose the 15 spins with 1x start...... 23 quid won.
It brought those mystery symbols all across the reels when I was on 8x...... bloody queens lol but was still a 19 quid ish win

 

[nikantw]

I had like 200 real money bonuses or this, I am going to write down all the stats and post them here as soon as I got the time.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

A cornucopia of feature buys on Buffalo Rising. (Real money play.)

FEATURED GAMES:

Buffalo Rising
Tesla
Taxi Movida

 

[Siohmy]

Well I thought I'd have a go as well Chopley and my results are, shall we say, interesting. £10 buy-ins but I repeatedly selected "mystery". Noticeably it does not in any way claim these mystery selections are random *coughjamminjarscough*. It does sort of imply that all outcomes are equally likely in the presentation and maybe they are but lets not get into that again. Anyway after the first few goes I started noting down the spins and multiplier along with the results.

Spins X Return
14.93
3.69
3.48
0.64
0.71
5 - 1 - 0.22
5 - 10 - 11.48
10 - 1 - 2.98
5 - 1 - 0.48
15 - 1 - 10.76
5 - 10 - 1.44
15 - 1 - 1.68
15 - 1 - 1.29
5 - 10 - 12.60
10 - 5 - 18.60
10 - 1 - 7.52
15 - 5 - 7.13
10 - 5 - 0.41
10 - 5 - 1.36
5 - 10 - 1.06
5 - 10 - 6.72
5 - 10 - 5.24
10 - 1 - 4.89
5 - 1 - 0.82
15 - 10 - 18.67

I have yet to hit 10 spins at 10x, I've hit 5 spins at 1x 3 times and 15 spins at 10x once. Obviously a very small sample and currently running at 55%. Noticeable that pretty much all the mystery symbols in the features changed to 9s thru Ks. The two occasions it didn't were at 2-3x on bears and wolves.

Edit: Noticeably never seems to give more than 4 triggers.

 

[Siohmy]

Just had another couple of goes. Did finally hit 10 spins at 10x for £17.62 but it saved the best to last because I'm not sure I can be arsed to get too much into this. Drum-roll please!

15 SPINS AT 10x PLUS a re-trigger for a total of 20 SPINS.

Return...... £8.84.

 

[lotusch]

What is actually the trigger frequency for this on average if you do not buy into these stupid buy bonuses?
I mean you can buy in for 100x stake but on 2 casinos where I have tried this I did not trigger the bonus organically once!!

V&J - 786 spins
Videoslots - 1233 spins!!!! and an RTP of 65.83%.

Absolute rubbish!!

Had 20 in 10 hours auto play, longest period without one was 2 - 2.5 hrs I think. It must be a bit easier than Bonanza with 1 every 30 min hit rate.

 

[nikantw]

This is my real money natural bonus stats. I always pick mystery. The retrigger shows from the bigger end spin count.
The 5-scatter trigger shows by the "odd" initial number of spins. Almost all from 2 days period and in chronological order, so you can tell cold spots or behavior after a big win.

 

[nikantw]

And this is all the real money bonus buy stats. I always pick mystery. The retrigger shows from the bigger end spin count.

Almost like there is a constant systematic divergence to the RTP. Count your blessings - at least you are getting a divergence unlike Bonanza which Has been on the floor for the last month with no signs of a resurrection.

 

[lotusch]

Is that all from feature buys Nikan? As I cannot for the love of God trigger the bonus organically.
Hundreds and hundreds of spins, not a single FS trigger.

And I know what is coming! I will trigger them eventually and the mofo will pay me something like 10x bet. 96.5% RTP eey!

 

[sledge13]

Why oh why, make it so terrible???

 

[snorky510238]

Why oh why, make it so terrible???

It is painful to play. It really is, slow spins, to many wins that pay 1/4 of your stake, very few exciting successful cascades. Feature harder to hit than seems possible. I do think with feature buy games the bonus is purposely made so hard to hit so that players get tempted into buying it. I gave it a few sessions but like a lot of Blueprints megaways I find it clumbersome and boring.

1st set is natural, 2nd is feature buys (when balance was 20 times bigger).

 

[Greigssy]

Blueprint slots are anything but random , all scripted compensated capped shite on their feature buys

I went a bit crazy with a £180 balance buying features a couple at £20 but nearly all at £10 and I always picked mystery feature.

28 feature buys in total and not one paid more than the feature cost
18 times I was given 15 spins and 18 times it gave the 1x multiplier
6 feature paid less than £1
Every bonus had the same script of a purple patch of cascades at the beginning to raise the multiplier then all dead spins

I lost my whole balance but one thing I've learned is never to touch any these feature buys again, why they're still allowed is beyond me!

That’s one thing that gets highlighted with the megaways slots. Although they have done their best to hide it. It’s so obvious they aren’t random. If they truly were somebody on this forum given all the bonus rounds on all megaways slots would have a monster hit and a monster multiplier to tell us about but as far as I am aware this has not happened.

Yeah thats all the Megaways engine is - A False fairytale. Spreading like the plague and draining balances faster than a sinkhole.

IMHO, you have a better chance being called up to represent Barcelona in the next transfer window and at the same time receive a Premier League winners medal than hit a mega payout on the Mega-No-Pays 419 scheme.
