Chopley's grand Netent adventure at Mr Green

[ChopleyIOM]

Maybe a way to lengthen the play reminder to four or five hours or something might be an option?..

For fuck's sake this message just bombed me out when I was up to 8x on Big Bang, now admittedly the game picked up from where I'd been before but it knackered up my autoplay and totally took me out of the game - VERY ANNOYING.

Andy can we please have the option to turn this stupid message off completely!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

BIG BANG -

Played at - 50p spins

Starting balance - £902.92p

Spins to trigger a bonus round - N/A 150 spins played (Or close enough, the Mr Green 'Gambling can be bad mmmkaayy' message poppoed up halfway through a climb up the multiplier and I had to reload my game, losing the autoplay count in the process.)

Bonus round paid - N/A

50x stop trigger hit in base game? - No

End balance - £874.70p

Verdict - Bit of a bugger to keep track of this one because of the INCREDIBLY SLY way it takes a credit off you for every spin, which AFAIK breaks tradition with how these sorts of slots normally work. (Including Netent's previous offerings.)

It also means you can feel 'good' about climbling the multiplier all the time, whilst the game is sneakily pinching money off you for every spin, so that you can easily end up climbling pretty far up the multipliers but having paid out more in stakes than you actually end up 'winning' in getting there!

Despite the splendid graphics and sound this one just isn't for me at all, would much rather play Twin Spin I think - so it was simply a case of getting the 150 spins over with and moving on.

(Plus it's shite because each spin is independent therefore it's hard to even track whether or not you've reached a stake threshold in terms of your win, since you may top 100x stake getting to the x32 multiplier, but no single win on the way will breach 100x - a total design misstep from Netent this slot IMO, very poor.)

I got to the 32x multiplier three times but this was the best win I managed off it. (The other two were zero spins, and indeed cost me more in stakes to get there than I actually 'won'!)

Hitting such consistent 100x + features on your first bonus hit (and a 500x+) is amazing.

Get in.

Further fodder for the lower stakes conspiracy theorists. Heh hee.

But, as Mr Green appear to be following this thread. It's also ammunition for the 'tin foil brigade' who are convinced that a casino can 'influence' individual accounts.

Chopley achieving the WR and making a nice profit, would be good PR/Advertising for Mr Green

How is the WR going? I always find I do really well at first. Then everything goes cold for the last 10-20%

Ha ha. Maybe. I'm more inclined to think not.

Slots are mental enough by design and of their own accord -- no manual intervention required in my experience.

There's no need for that - NetEnt have built in safeguards like Secret of the Stones, TwinSpin, BigBang and CFTBL

So after playing almost all these shity paytabled netentslots at 0.5 a spin you are up almost 400 which is about 800x your average bet. Man that is a miracle. And all these 100x features on the first bonus rounds?

It must be a conspiracy. Someone at netent is following this thread and is just handing you these wins to make them look good Otherwise I have no other explaination for this good run.

Kudos to you. Keep it up!

No one is more surprised than me!

TWIN SPIN -

Played at - 50p spins

Starting balance - £874.70p

Spins to trigger a bonus round - N/A 150 spins played

Bonus round paid - N/A

50x stop trigger hit in base game? - No

End balance - £868.24p

Verdict - Wouldn't be my first choice of Netent slots to play with real funds, seems almost insanely streaky for a random slot, catch it on a rich run and the wins just keep on coming, but by christ when it's dead it's very dead. (These are my observations from free play, as this is my first time in real.)

Love the aesthetics of this slot but the pays (or potential lack of them) make it a bit too scary to hang around for too long with real money, so this is just getting the 150 spins out of me.....

Had a passable run off them though, £75 of wagering saw my balance decline by just £6, could have been worse!

Ha ha. They can't win! If he'd busted out already we'd be crying FIX! He's hit a couple of good bonuses. That's slots!

Get in Chopster - Now go hit a MONSTER.

Don't mind me. I follow every thread

OK then chaps that is a complete cycle of these slots completed (Wonky Wabbits was on Balth's list but of course that's not actually released yet).

Elements
Disco Spins
Muse
Space Wars
Thief
Wild Turkey
Silent Run
Fisticuffs
South Park
Egg-O-Matic
Reel Rush
Secret of the Stones
Magic Portals
CFTBL
Big Bang
Twin Spins

From my starting balance of £500 I am now sat on a balance of £868.24p (having peaked at just over £900) - however I have only wagered £725.20p, there is still £8024.80p to be wagered!

So I'm still a LOOOONG way off making WR, and with the best will in the world I'm going to massively reduce the amount of reportage I do to this thread, as it's very labour intensive.

If my intention was to demonstrate that it's impossible to win at low stakes on the newer Netent slots then of course completely the opposite happened.....

From here on in I'm going to mix it up a bit, and introduce some older Netent slots to the mix too. At the end of the day I've got eight grand to wager from an £868 bankroll and that's still a pretty big ask - I will stick 100% with Netent slots though.

I shall continue to report significant events to this thread as I proceed through the WR!

 

[The Viking]

Why not start the Netent games in Alphabetical order ? ide love to see that using the same method

WR Is not something that ever features in my world as I either blast through it thanks to a decent win or bust out and forget all about it -- but I get how important it is to some players.

Another tick in the box for Mr Green there with the very clear WR outline / overview. Good work.

Good luck Chop-cup - I'll check back in tomorrow to see your screen full of wilds on DoA and a £5K balance. :clap:

 

[ChopleyIOM]

172x on Evolution but it took the best part of 500 spins and nearly £100 of my bankroll to land this!

Had fully evolved reels with three spins left from a three scatters trigger.

 

[dunover]

I hate to p!ss on the fireworks here, but the wins are effectively tied into a WR anyway, and haven't come from a cash deposit unless he withdraws now and forfeits the bonus. The irony is that in cash terms and forfeiting the bonus he would be better off than if he broke even and cashed the 250 bonus in. If I read correctly, you are cash 610 and bonus 250 at the moment?
Anyway it seems about 20% of new NetBent accounts get into a position to w/d a cash profit so he's been exceptionally fortunate IMO, especially having got a 185x from TFTUT.
Now having had a run of decent features, and going by my freeplay experiments, this balance will go down like a Bangkok Ladyboy as the 'curves' I've seen don't come any higher than the one Chopley's on now, and when they occur they plummet afterwards. He'll be OK for the next 2-3k of the WR then he will notice them turn to ratshit. I predict (and I hope I'm wrong for the sake of his bank balance) WR will be met well under the starting 500 quid balance, if at all.

its fine though because andy will get chops his £250 back if it all goes (=)(=) up lol.....

Looking at the terms I can request a withdrawal at any time before meeting the WR but:

1) My withdrawal is capped to the amount of my deposit

and

2) I can only make a withdrawal before I dip into bonus funds

So at the moment I'm sat on a balance of £765 (Evolution is going a bit nuts) so there's no point withdrawing since my max withdrawal is £250, as such I'll forfeit not only the £250 bonus but the rest of my balance as well.

Therefore I may as well play down to £500 and if it looks like I'm not going to make WR at that point, I may as well just get my £250 back out.

That's how I read these terms anyway, which are from the 'withdrawal' screen in the cashier.

 

[Nate]

If you are going to do that and have 100 left - Go DOA on 45c bets and hope for the best!

Good Luck in any event.

Nate

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well Evolution is going on an absolute rampage, it has destroyed £200 of my bankroll on 50p spins and apart from that first decent bonus round every subsequent one has been pretty damn rubbish.

Things need to take a turn for the better or there's absolutely no doubt I'll be bailing at £500 and just getting my £250 back out - at the moment I'm only 15% through the WR and my balance is under £700!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Clawed a bit back on Evolution through a few reasonable if not great bonus rounds, onto Wild Rockets where it's taken a few hundred spins to land a nice 248x stake win, so balance back up £839.

(I had all three middle reels completely wild apart from a single stop on a spin in free spins, but alas it was all lower-tier symbols on 1 and 5, otherwise it would have been a monster.)

19% of the WR done.......

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Stuck with Wild Rockets down to £800 and moved to Beach, and now Beach has decided it properly doesn't like me, down at £660 and it hasn't coughed a single free spins round yet, so that's down from £800 to £660 on 60p spins without a free spins round!

It really does feel like two steps forwards and four steps back at the moment - bail out location is definitely £500 at this rate, as there's no way I'll make WR unless things really pick up.

Can't believe I've lost £140 on 60p spins without a free spins round on a low-medium variance slot, that's awful!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

ARGH! STOP FUCKING DOING THIS!

I am neither done and I want to quit playing, but neither am I having fun, where is the 'I'm an adult capable of choosing how to spend my time and I JUST WANT YOU TO STOP NAGGING ME EVERY HOUR!' button?

With the best will in the world Beach has now demolished £180 on 60p spins without giving me a single free spins round and it's hit a 20x stop trigger twice - I am loathed to press the 'I'M HAVING FUN' button.

Grrrrrrrr.

EVERY TIME THIS POPS UP IT STOPS THE GAME, bins you out to the patronising screen, and then reloads the game if you click on the I'M HAVING FUN button, at which point you need to do all your autoplay settings again.

ARSES.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Now dipping under £600, I am simply gawping in amazement at this point that a low-medium variance slot can destroy £200 on 60p spins without dropping in a single free spins round, which could pay total crap anyway.

EDIT - Finally, finally dropped in a three scatters bonus round, paid 44x stake, balance at £619. I'm going to stick with Beach, this little octopus bastard has got to kick something back, especially since he's got eight legs.

No it isn't.
I'll look at the T&Cs there but anything you win with your own money is yours. Only the bonus money which you haven't yet activated is removed.
Only after you dip into bonus funds do you get blocked by the remaining WR.

That's what I said in my first post of today, but Chopley assured me otherwise and it appears the terms he pasted back his version up. Maybe the terms need to be reworded
OUCH! to Chopley, who could've banked a quick 400-ish cash profit then?
