A different idea here, the bonus format is the same as Bonanza but your ways in the base game are 128 - 235,298 and after the third tumble in a spin occurs on either set, they merge for 4,096 - 7,529,536 ways. Makes for a very volatile bonus round.

P.S. This also contains the '6 Wilds Possible Paradox' - a pay of 5x bet is stated for 6OAK wilds but if you think about it, landing the 6OAK wilds would clear the whole screen bar scatters, and if you had say 15,640 ways in play, would well exceed the 10,000x win cap. Wonder if this is actually possible or any player has seen it on MW slots that have wilds on all six reels? :confused:

 
Looks a little like Beetlejuice MW, but guess that's where the comparison ends.

Not the biggest fan of Megaways. They still pay the same as other slots. I think of them as more ways to not pay.

Good to see Skywind trying something new - that's always welcome, and not a dig at Skywind, but when are these ridiculously volatile games going to be balanced out with some good ole mid and lows? :)

I don't think players want this stuff really, think its just a push by casinos and developers to grab headlines and screw over the player. Nifty fifty depos go nowhere on these.

Said that from the day they first appeared mate.

Think it was the Dragon Born thread where I felt the overwhelming need to calm all the unnecessary and OTT hype :p

Ah yes, way back in 1897. And still they come.
 
It virtually proves that slots aren’t random, when games like this are released. It gives the player, the perception that you can’t lose, if there are millions of ways “to win”.

Truth is, you’re no more likely to win than on “9 ways”. It just highlights how scripted and controlled each spin must be. I mean, if games like this were truly random, there would be fireworks everywhere, just a total smokescreen (pun not intended).

I think they are random, it’s just unfortunate that more and more are going the route of pre-determined. Essentially the Jammin Jars pick a ball out of the bag and here’s your bonus rather than relying of well designed bonus/reel sets.

I said a number of years ago, when all you have to care about is the RTP being hit you can pretty much pretend your slot can almost do anything which is not a good design path and is being brutally exploited.
 
I'd imagine most players don't like the idea of predetermined results as they imply they've been allocated to the player as a derisory afterthought.

Punters will feel aggrieved if not fed live results from a transparent reel set that they think they have in-depth knowledge of, and would rather be 'in the moment' than have the game foist an unfavourable result.

For all we know the 'code' could have a whole batch of ready-made bonus results waiting for the hapless player to 'play out' in designated order.

Random is even less random when decided in the background without the player being privy to any of it 🤔
 
Let’s face it, if bonus rounds were truly random you would actually end up with zilch a lot more often, instead of the “£2.53”, that appeases psychologically but is to no avail.

It’s taking a long time but one day, one day I tell ya, most of you will see through the bulllshit we are fed. :laugh:

Member before the html change whens DOA would bend you over with 2 or 3 features in a row that paid £0.00.
I members.
 
Nah, I wouldn't play such an obvious sack of shit. Give me at least some credit. ;)
I can tell you now from a billion sessions, there was a time that doa would produce regular 0 pays from free spins. often 2 or 3 in a row then html appeared and, like magic.... ;)
