New Slot Announcement Extra Chilli, BTG

[NeverLucky]

We would like to confirm that the make up of the wheel does indeed reflect the true value RTP.
This would be a compliance issue (if we were not to display this) in Canada where we license games to the British Columbian Lottery and Lotto Quebec.

Another compliance ruling in Extra Chilli is The Danish Gambling Authority along with other jurisdictional authorities, stipulated that we state the best strategy in the help, which in this case is to Gamble with the wheel. However, you need to remember that the difference is as small increase in RTP and if you collect 8 consistently the RTP is 96.15% it's just less volatile. Whether you lose or win on the wheel the RTP remains the same, long term.

The Wheel

The first spin is 50/50 and all proceeding gambles are 60/40 odds on.
However on subsequent gambles the odds diminish to roughly a 1 in 10 chance of getting to 24 from 8.

0.5 x 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 = 0.108 or 1 in 10

With a natural scatter +4 it's 1 in 5 etc...
You can work out the others by adding/removing the wheel progressions.

The principle of the gamble is for players to push up the games volatility or not. A great deal of criticism in the Bonanza thread, was more often than not to do with the free spin frequency, where individuals stated they would like to see the feature more and wouldn't mind if it paid less (I'll have a look for the exact quote later). We have delivered the latter but we have also offered players something new, an option to raise the stakes and play a higher volatility bonus game or not.

With Extra Chilli you have a great deal more options and comparing it to Bonanza is a little bit like comparing apples and oranges. It's like comparing Rainbow Riches to Dead or Alive because that are both 3x5.

Just for the sake of argument, this morning, I donned my tin foil hat, flipped a coin ten times over 20 sessions to see how many it took to get a result of 5 heads/5 tails... after 20 groups of 10 I gave up trying realising that the coin was indeed rigged!

My last 4 results...

17) 1121211111 - 80% Heads
18) 1121212222 - 60% Heads (closest)
19) 1222222222 - 10% Heads
20) 1111211122 - 70% Heads - gave up!

However if you look at the bold section between 19 and 20 - I achieved 50/50 - just not during my set sessions.

As always, happy to answer any other questions.

Big Time Gaming official

Thank you for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification - excellent player support. And as noted obviously we need larger samples however I can't imagine it's rigged now that you've flat-out denied it- just that I and some others have had some phenomenally unlucky runs.

It's just the nature of the beast though isn't it? We have to keep in mind that things like RTP are over a very long range of Spins which are probably not really achievable for the players. Same goes for the feature buys i'd presume, after buying thousands of features you would probably get close to the 50%

My wife would beg to differ.

so far in real play im 4/17 from 8 to 12 and it will probably remain that way because i dont plan on playing it ever again. on the other hand im yet to fail a 12 to 16 upgrade though. 4 attempts all 4 were good. 3 times from 8 - 12 - 16 and once from 12 - 16. Small sample i know but 8 to 12 definitely doesnt feel like 50 - 50. I dont think ive seen anyone with 5 wins in a row while 5 losses in a row is pretty common it seems?

also tried it on day one in play mode on LV and i dont think ive failed 12 to 16 there either. Bought quite a few features, tried some 8 - 12 - 16 - 20 and it really feels like 8 spins features are not worth trying at all so i can see why btg made 8 to 12 gamble the way it is.

its all irrelevant for me anyways just posting it so other people who havent tried it yet can get a feeling of what it plays like and how dangerous it is to play this thing.

And one last thing, compared to bonanza getting feature really doesnt feel any easier because base game of this one was much worse to me than bonanza is on its bad day plus getting 8 spins feature means nothing, so theres that.
It might take less spins to get it, but in the end you are going to loose just as much, if not more, and for what its worth you might not end up with a feature at all. Either that or you will have to play your 8 spins and hope for at least 50x from it, which from my experience doesnt happen all that often at all.

tldr: crap slot with dubious design decisions made to tilt you into buying more features. wont be playing it ever again.
all thats missing is a 40000x win that btg had to recreate themselves because player forgot to take a screenie :=o

I just find it a poorly made slot. I think there is very little entertainment value. You either buy a bonus or try and hit a base game bonus which is very hard to do. Most times 8 spins wont pay anything so then you are forced to gamble. And then half the time you are going to lose. So then you go back to rinse and repeat.

Bonanza and Danger are there good slots. The others are ok but really tough to play them and have any kind of bankroll left afterwards

 

[shadow123]

Should have done as I suggested( after the event)
Made the first 2 gambles a high chance of acheiving 2 extra spins each, that way it would take the crapiness out of 8
spins without the big risk of losing the feature.
Dont know offhand what the odds would be and obviously the overall odds from 8 to 12 would still have to be 50/50
but the game would be lot more enjoyable.

 

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

Wowee- was just about to give up for the evening and decided to buy a feature for $20.
Got 8 spins and gambled it up to 24.
Got one retrigger during spins.
24+4: 3,328.55x

 

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

So my updated scores:
24+4: 3,328.55x
24 spins: 872.6x
20 spins: 576.67x
16 spins: 290.6x
8 spins: 202.35x

I think I'm winning with a few of those but would be good if @Big Time Gaming could confirm.

After a four week break from the slots, I came back and my bad run of luck continued, i decided to have another go on the extra chilli game at whill. I managed to trigger the bonus twice and thought i'd better gamble for the 12 spins, lost both times. A

As I was playing minimum stake of 20p and had about £10 left I thought I might as well just carry on playing extra chilli, luckily the bonus triggered again and this time I decided I've just got to take the 8 spins I couldn't bear the heartsink seeing that wheel land on black again [to date 5 gambes for 12 spins have all lost].

The bonus was going pretty badly, £4 from 5 spins, and then purple chillis made a surprise appearance on the sixth spin, at first I didn't know how big a win it was but having never been quick enough to capture a screenshot of some wins on bonanza, I quickly pressed alt+printscreen, it was still too slow to capture the purple chillis on screen but you can see the gaps where they had been:



I couldn't believe it, in one spin at 20p stake I had got back most of my recent losses. I had been considering just walking away from playing slots such had been the poor performance of any slot i touched [ bonanza and rhino inflicting real damage to my rear end] at minimum stakes id lost nearly 2k, just not sustainable for me.

The overall result was £726.85 for 8 spins and no retriggers:

I'm praying this 3634.25x win gives me a chance in the BTG competition as the last prize I won was in 1981, and that was only a bottle of schweppes tonic water from a tombola.

Easier to trigger the bonus than Bonanza? Like f-uck it is. Yesterday started with £400 on £2 stakes and it didn't bonus. I am confident that Bonanza would have done with that starting amount.

The other day I played it naturally too and the bonus triggered. 8 spins. I didn't gamble. It retriggered three times. Happy days you would have thought. But alas that wasn't the case. Talk about dead spin city. Total bonus paid a shambled of 30x

Just like White Rabbit, the bonuses just feel like they are scripted. You are either going to be lucky and get over 50x or it is the standard shambolic under 50x one. Unlike Bonanza (that doesn't have a feature buy) where you don't know what you get when it kicks off.

And unlike Bonanza, some of the RTP of the game must sit with the coin drops as you eventually get a "free" bonus round. Hence why I find that the base game in both White Rabbit and Extra Chilli are not as good paying as Bonanza.

To summarise, fuck the slots with a feature buy. They feel and play like scripted pieces of shite.

 

[goatwack]

Commiserations to the 85% of gamblers that have had bad results on the gamble wheel. You have been very, very unlucky thus far.

I urge you to keep trying. Hopefully the results should even out over the next 12000 attempts, touch wood

 

[TheresNoDInBonanza]

I know, was just looking for confirmation from btg that I've qualified for any.

 

[NeverLucky]

So my updated scores:
24+4: 3,328.55x
24 spins: 872.6x
20 spins: 576.67x
16 spins: 290.6x
8 spins: 202.35x

I think I'm winning with a few of those but would be good if @Big Time Gaming could confirm.

If i understood their terms correctly, the 24+4 for 3328.55x should count for the 8 Spins as you started from a 8 spin trigger, not sure though so would be nice if @Big Time Gaming can confirm
Edit: Just saw someone beat the 24+4 x stake, nevermind sorry.

I asked and the reply was "the spins you start with". As I understand this it meant not the trigger spins but the spins after any possible gamble, or the spins that you start the bonus feature with.
So if you get 8 and you gamble up to 20 and then get +4 retrigger, you are competing for the 20 spin prize.

I see, i understood it as "If you start with 8 spins and gamble all the way up you are still competing for the 8 spin prize" maybe just me being dense.

 

[Jono777]

The spins total which show in the box after you've collected the feature but before you press "start"

Actually BillyBonanzas results are gross. Roughly a 5,85SD event (or 1 in 700 million). Checked only the 50/50 ones.

And if one checks with this

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

it gives the absurd result of 0,573<r<1,019 (with Z=4,4172). The example the BTG rep posted is actually normal so not even remotely close or a good example.

I don't believe for a second that its a TRUE 50/50 gamble.

 

[KasinoKing]

Nor do I!

I haven't gambled the free-spins previously, but having read this thread earlier & been assured that it IS 50/50 I decided to try it tonight...
So far, 4 gambles... 4 losses...
What a crock of shite!

Edit: Now 5 gambles - 5 losses...

Edit: Now 6 gambles - 6 losses...

Edit: Now 7 gambles - 7 losses...

50/50? Yeah right

Edit: So I thinks "I better stop gambling these free-spins"....
Buy a feature & get 8 spins - and this happens:



Buy feature for £40, and win 48 pence!!!

Edit: Now 8 gambles - 8 losses...

You've just been very unlucky. Commiserations.

Gawd. Its not like it sais 'congratulations!! Youve won 0 spins!'

Seriously, F that....

 

[nutnut]

This game is more rigger that a Mugabe election. The gamble feature is not 50/50. I've won one gamble out of 13. I can't work out why anyone would play this.

Ouch not a good run this can not be 50/50.
It isn't possible to loose that many gambles. Statistically not possible based on 50/50.
And what makes it worse feature of £40 only giving 48p absolute joke of a slot.
I've played this and done ok with it but seeing this I will be reconsidering how much I play it.

Are you being sarcastic? Its a 1/125 chance of happening so not likely but far from impossible. That said, I have no idea if the gamble is proportionally true to the field distribution on the wheel.
