Your Input Please DOA

[asadzareef89]

Ever since i joined this forum i have seen a lot of posts with massive wins of doa everywhere and thanks to blathalon(I think) who has a who thread about DOA Stats

Here's my problem I find this game annoyingly boring yet those screenshots of 4000x-5000x make me play it and every time a bonus round starts i can tell in 3 spins what kind of win i would have

Now about 3-4 months ago i started recording all of my wins on bonus rounds and according to stats i should get atleast 1 wildline every 136 bonus rounds on average, so i went on little adventure and made sure i get atleast 150-160 bonus rounds on atleast 3 different casinos

Now i dont like to waste all my deposit+bonus on doa as it can be brutal so i only played at casinos with multiple platforms

I did 159 bonus rounds at one casino and best win stands at 110x and second best 60x

Another casino 148 rounds and best win at 300x and second best 120x

Another casino i have done 177 rounds with best win 450x and not a single wildline or even 5 extra spins on any of these casinos

Before anyone says anything i only played accreditted casinos

Only one ever have i got 5 wilds on 5 lines and win wasnt great i think 40x end result and ever since then it has been bonus round shortage there

And these arent all the bonus rounds i played at these casinos, these stats are the ones i recorded and to avoid the confusion even before i started recording my wins or losses more like i have never had 5 wilds on a line

So i'm asking for all of your input as to whether its worth playing this game???

Thanks for any help

It just comes down to luck. I've played well over 2000 DOA features and have had the wildline two times, 5 scatters none. Some players are fortunate to have hit it more often than once every ~170 features, some (like you and I) aren't.

If you continue going, it will even out eventually - but it might take millions and millions of spins (and it might just take a few).

Thats not the worst part, the worst part is even when the game is supposedly hot it gives out crappy wins in bonus rounds as i was lucky enough to have hit the bonus round 12 times in 79 spins after a long period of no bonus round at harry casino and in those 12 rounds my best win was 20x

I mean sometimes it feels like i have more chance of winning the lottery with insane odds then getting 5 scatters or a wildline

Only place i got close to was leovegas and i had 4 wilds on a line with 9 spins to go and it never gave a wild on the first line

Also never played the game much at casinoluck but got 4 scatters 5 times once with a single deposit so felt really close and upped my bet to 1.35 and lost all in about 100 spins

Join the club Asadzareef,I have the same problem and even with all the stats posted by Blathaon I still find it amazing how a small group of people seem to hit these big wins so frequent while other won't get one in years.
I am playing DOA for months now on different casino's and came close a few times to the 5 wilds on 1 payline but haven't hit it yet.
5 scatters neither,got 4 scatters loads of times though.

So I just reckon,keep on playing and one day me,you and other who never won big on it will hit one of these monster too...I hope!

 

[dunover]

Well, I had a dabble at 18p spins yesterday. First feature paid 16p.....
Second, I got the 5 extra spins and ended up with 126x stake. 7 wilds in the end, no more than 3 on any winline until the final of the 5 extra spins when the 4th. came in on one winline, with, of course, a fucking 10.

a small group of people seem to hit these wins because, they have obviously signed up to every net ent going where DOA counts 100% for wr..
they are doing every single offer on DOA, reloads too. they bound to hit some serious wins doing this.

tbh, I could not be bothered to sign up to every single casino going to play DOA. these people who are getting these wins are now actually down to signing up to sticky bonus net ent casinos! omg lot of time and effort, but would be rewarding in the end.

only way I believe to get the big hits if you want to concentrate on one casino only is, do every monthly bonus, reloads etc etc but you must never bet flat. if you do, the house edge will kill you. example 100 spins 0.45p next 50 spins 54p next 50 spins 72 etc etc...

 

[Tirilej]

I say now as I said before...stop chasing those wins!
Whatever you do or try it's all about luck anyway.

I got my first 5 wilds the second time I played the game on a 27c bet. I don't even know how many times I have had them, but I know I don't chase them the way others do.
I got 5 wilds the first time I played it on 90c/spin. A lovely win that bought me a new computer.
5 scatters just twice so far.
90% of my wins are on Nordicbet and I won't be able to pay them back for a couple of years I think.
Never used a bonus.

Again, play it sometimes. Play it for fun and stop analyzing the game. It won't help
You're just scaring those poor sheriffs away. I love them so they love me back

 

[maphesto]

As Tirilej said, don't chase those wins! It's like chasing huge wild desire wins on IR or RJ's at RTG. Sometimes I think the screenshot section is bad for players to see.

I never chase those wins though, I am replying to why certain people on the x1000 threads keep on winning on this machine.
its pretty obvious why. night and day every reload etc bang the game on your comp. they will come in eventually..

I noticed blathaon replied to a guy who asked him/her could they play the slot for him and blathoan give him a %. blathaon reply was yes if you give me some of my losses back also that was a very true comment off blathaon.
told you guys, more reloads and bang the game away. you eventually hit big...
if just doing it at 1 casino only, same rule applies. I tend to change my stakes as to kill the house edge. don't mean I will hit big, just means when I hit big I have a better chance at bigger a stake.

House edge? What's that?
If I say I've mostly won on Nordicbet it still is because I've been lucky and no other reason.
Why? Because I never play the amount that those boys are. You can't kill the house edge, but you can be lucky

People here are almost destroying the fun of playing by taking the games apart and analyzing them to death.
Changing names, claiming the software is bad, have changed or whatever. Bonus, no bonus, 10 casinos or just two
I don't even post my screenies anymore because who cares?

Just be careful and never ever believe you can repeat what someone else have done when it comes to playing slots. You can't!

 

[kazzi]

I did chase that win over 1½years ago and took 3-4months almost daily deposit, i did end up with a 4000x feature but ive done hundred of features and not even been close to 5wilds since that one time.

I might throw 1-200spins at it to see if i can get a feature but thats about it cause its all about luck, that one 4000x i had was my first feature of the day after almost busting out, blathon and the other guys just plays this alot every day im guessing doing maybe 10000spins so they have a huge chance at these wins but im sure they bust out more often that we see those huge wins on DOA.

 

[paul7388]

guess its all luck, I only tried it in free play 2 months ago after seeing it on here and got the 5 wilds and a good win, then after joining guts about 6 weeks ago and playing first 3 deposits with no luck I played my last set of starburst spins next day and never won, only had about a tenner in neteller at time and wasn't adding to it that day so deposited £10 in guts and tried DOA at 18p a spinjust, got the wilds again and won £500 and that was about 3rd time id played it, just luck if you are playing when it wants to pay out

tirilej

I am like you also, I am actually up over £8k on this between only 4 casinos I play it at! its all about luck of course. but all I am saying is, more reloads etc etc better chance to hit these big wins.
I actually hit 5 scatters on a 0.90 euro bet after just signing up to one casino, and only played 26 spins on the slot. yes all about luck.

blathaon

I wasn't far wrong then lol...and you know what I am saying more reloads etc etc better chance, its pretty obvious..

 

[asadzareef89]

Thanks for the replies guys

Every body seems to be forgetting the question, is it worth still trying it here and there or not whatsoever as its quite a dull slot and sometimes can be quite slow aswell

I mean i know IR, TS2, PlayBoy and TFROL have the same odds but atleast they are not as dull and if u r on download version they are super quick aswell

I never had the luck of getting a 1000x and my 2 best wins are 900x out of which 1 of them is on The Incredible Hulk(Surprisingly) which i dont think has anymore potential than 900x and the other one on Gonzo

My best win on MG has been on avalon of 600x at lucky247 but trust me ever since than any slot i play there has been absolute piece of crap, countless bonus rounds and max it pays is 15x whether i bet 0.30 or 1.5

Also i have noticed the games play better when their is wagering attached to the deposit than when its cash(I know some people are not gonna agree) but thats how i feel

So in the end i guess it'd be up to luck more than stats

Of course, i have said this before as well, i have accounts at all netent casinos that i feel it's safe to play at, which is about 20 casinos. But at most of them i never get any bonuses, out of those 20 only 7 have sent me any bonus offers in the past two months. And so far this month i have only received 4 reload bonuses, so bonuses seem to be drying up.

blathaon

correct thank you! some people don't understand that this slot is just a medium to high variance slot, then can take all for a long time, then spew out a big one, just like all medium/ high variance slots..

guys

just look at it this way. we all have savings accounts, or money banks etc etc...

take a sign up bonus £100/£100 you lose the lot, take the next 20 £50/£50 bonuses you lose all them too on this slot at the same casino. so that's £2,200 lost.
keep playing this slot and you will eventually get back your deposit, and a very large chunk of your bonus money in just one hit!
you can get very lucky and get this very big win on your very first deposit/bonus..

this slot is just like any other m/h variance slot, it has a house edge, but pays back a hefty rtp when that big win comes in..

that's the problem with not getting many reloads they know the big one will come eventually..

 

[mrmark21]

Back when I still played Netent on Real Mode (I don't anymore) I had accounts at pretty much every well known Netent casino. Never won a dam'n thing on DOA. I do remember having one good feature that scored me a 300x the bet win but I've never hit the five wilds. There's a chance you might hit the five wilds but an even bigger chance that you won't.

I'd never go out of my way to play DOA but if I was running out of games to play during a session I'd give it a few spins. The game is very high variance so it can result in some very big wins but IMPO your better off playing the medium to high variance slots on a higher bet as you have more chance of winning something decent. There's only a few Netent games that I don't mind and from what I've seen they are capable of some big hits: Lucky Angler, Alien Robots, and Piggy Riches.

 

[miso]

DOA is a fantastic game, I`ve had nice wins (not huge), but it is not worth playing extensively.
One of the reasons is no Quick Spin. I can imagine that on fast play you could loose a lot in a
matter of minutes, but still, it`s rare to hit anything more than 5 shot glasses in base game.

You`re basically just waiting for a bonus round on a game that is slow as hell.
It`s like watching a paint dry.

Then you hit bonus and nothing spectacular happens (as expected).
No need to frustrate yourself, there are other games with a lot of potential

 

[Blathaon]

blathaon

that's the problem with not getting many reloads they know the big one will come eventually..

Well the thing is that i actually get the most bonuses from the casinos where i have won the most, i can only assume that's the casinos strategy to get you to hopefully lose it all back.
While at the casinos where i am down the most i rarely get any offers, i guess they hope you will continue to play without bonuses.

But lately it seems that the casinos where i am in profit have stopped sending regular offers, for example take Betsson the casino where i am up the most and where i have gotten the most bonuses, usually the day after a big DoA win and a withdrawal i would get a bonus via email. Often a 100% bonus anywhere from 200-500€ with a WR of only 25xB, i don't get these anymore.
In fact i only seem to be getting the standard bonuses that everyone gets

So if the bonus drought continues then i am stuck with the handful of monthly reloads that i get each month. The best ones for bonuses lately seem to be Betsafe and Thrills, they usually have some weekend offers, other then that it has been pretty slow.

 

[QueenBee]

I like it

I have been extremely lucky with DOA. I have 4 nice screenshots in the 2500-4500xbet range. I am still waiting for 5 scatters....
I am just an occasional player, always min. deposits and lowest betsize. I do not play DOA all the time, but I always try it out. When it "feels hot" I play it. When it gets boring, I leave it.

 

[KasinoKing]

So i'm asking for all of your input as to whether its worth playing this game???

The simple answer is "No" - but I think you already know that.

Not only is it extremely dull to play for any length of time, the odds of hitting one of those "Mega wins" is pretty astronomical - as you have found out.
Even if you did hit one now, you would probably only recover a tiny faction of what it sounds like you've spent on it.

I realise it's frustrating to "admit defeat" - but I think that would be best for you in the long run.
Set your sights lower, and your targets will be easier to hit.

new casino, new deposit, first time playing DOA here. on 0.54 bet it took 275 SPINS!! to see the first feature in which only one wild show up. second took 222 spins to see 2 wilds in last 2 spins on last reels. tons of 2 scatters and rotations. 110e was lost in the long process because of lag.
i really wanted to see 5 wilds once let alone a line of it but is impossible and i tried in many sessions in 4 casinos. from now im done with it because i don't like theme and sounds at all and i don't like to lose every time. i will give another chance only when i will see a screenshot with line of wilds posted by someone from Eastern Europe. not convinced but i like to believe is set to give the best to Northern Europe. all net ent major jackpots were won there and look at Come On! shop lotteries. from 10 winners, 9 are from Scandinavia almost always and every time despite in recent winners are show people from everywhere . if i will ever go in vacantion in scandinavia, first place to visit will be an internet cafe to play DOA maybe is something with their ISP
