Despite trying to keep off slots since the end of my 'experiment' I find myself now slightly hooked on the darned things! At least I have the control to only do tiny bets!
I keep dabbling with Thunderstruck to try and discover why some many posters call it their favorite - and I'm still mystified! People say it can be streaky - I'll say! Bit like 'London Bus Syndrome'! This was my latest encounter with it:-
Session 1: 208 spins to find the Rams - then it paid $4.59 (19/1).
58 more spins of utter rubbish, so stopped.
Session 2: 372 spins to find the Rams (no, I'm NOT kidding!) - then it gave me another 3 Rams during the free spins and paid $10.44 (58/1)
Just 27 spins later it hit again for $2.58 (14/1)
100 more spins of rubbish, so stopped.
Session 3: 13 spins - 3 Rams - $5.56 (28/1)
89 spins - 3 Rams - $11.80 (59/1). Getting better....
99 spins - 3 Rams - then I could not believe what happened - in the first 15 free spins it gave me 3 Rams again THREE times! That's a total of SIXTY free spins with TREBBLE wins - now we're rocking! Or so I thought - it only returned $13.88
Mind you, it was only a 10c bet, so that was 139/1.
So either I'm just very unlucky, or I'm missing something, cos I frankly can't see it's any better that any of the other 9-liners.
If fact, between sessions 2 & 3 I played Secret Admirer and hit 5 Rings off a 25c bet & won $67.50. 270/1 - that's more like it!
I shall continue to monitor Thunderstruck, and will tell EVERYONE when I hit the jackpot!
