Frankenstein (NetEnT)

[daenyboi]

What happened to this old NetEnt Slot?

Removed from all the casinos i play at....

 

[eizei]

I noticed the same around a month ago. Maybe their license with Universal ended? I'm guessing it wasn't popular enough of a slot anymore.

 

[incrediblestuff]

Hadn't noticed, but if you "miss" it a lot, you could go to MrGreen, where you can play their exclusive clone "Moonlight", which is pretty much the same slot with different graphics.

 

[Mr Wild]

It was an error with the game, so some users managed to take advantage over it. So Netent took it offline.

 

[SpinUk]

Any ideas what the error was? Been around for ages so kust have been well hidden

 

[Mr Wild]

We didnt get any information regarding what the exploit was. But I believe they are working on it to have it live soon again. But no time frame has been communicated.

Maybe they figured out how to trigger FS. Given how elusive they are in that game it must be a fault when they appear.

 

[daenyboi]

I just noticed because that machiine owes me a little bit of money.


Got some FS Rounds in it and never ever a good one.

I wonder how a machine which is meant to be 100% random can be exploited. There were no token type elements to this game right? If so then what are the possibilities of what cab be exploited...I'm drawing a complete blank here. Unless of course it's not 100% random.

Good luck to those lucky enough to get on it whilst it was still exploitable. Reminds me of the good old days of fruit machines and emptiers. Happy days.

There was a BIG problem with this slot, enough for me to raise the issue with 'maxd' who gave me some advice on how to contact the relevant people.

I'm glad they finally took it offline once I had spoken with the Norwegians.

Well obviously you seem to know more about this, may i respectfully request a small elaboration on the matter?

Early December I came across a sequence of keys (by accident and had to replay through Bandicam to see what the hell happened to my balance) so immediately contacted max here for advice and was given some details on how to proceed. Had a call from Norway and sent in videos and a log of what happened.

I'm sure many took advantage as the bug was obviously present for a long time.

 

[brianleeporter]

Was wondering why I kept on getting error messages when trying to load the game.

Now I know I suppose

 

[slotter999]

@nicola

I'm absolutely intrigued. Once it's fixed I hope you'll share the details with us and maybe your reasons for sharing it with netent. I can't imagine I'd have told them

 

[slotter999]

I noticed this is now back online. Will Nicola ever share the bug with us?

 

[slotmaster]

Not live at videoslots.com. Where do you see it live?

This was a "go to" game for me.

[hhhelllo]

so Nicola.... are you gonna tell us your little secret? Don't tell me Norvegians told you not to

 

[ginzink]

+1

 

[Nicola]

Haven't heard anything since I spoke with them last year, so not sure if the bug is fixed. If the game returns at BetSafe or SpreadEx I will play and check all is OK. Otherwise they will be coming after me... they know where I live now

 

[slotter999]

This thread still intrigues me.....some sort of bug existed in this machine which has no token element type gameplay and was seemingly triggered by accidentally faceplanting on the keyboard?!?!?!

I know Nicola doesn't really want to share which is fair enough.....but if I can speculate.....surely this can only be foul play right? And if so.....how on earth did it go undetected for so long? I know we are constantly told slots are fair and audited etc....but how can that be true in this instance?

So many questions!

 

[nutnut]

One thing i know if i had stumbled on whatever Nicole did, i would have took it for every penny going not informed them

 

[luringenersmart]

I agree. This implies the game is not random. Or i atleast controllable in some way. Im sure they paid her a nice amount to keep quiet about it ;-)

 

[Nicola]

I don't think MicroGaming have ever admitted to any bugs or reimbursed players, but NetEnt are very forward when players are 'worse off' when bugs are discovered. As an example:

"As a result of a software malfunction in higher bet level bonus rounds of the tablet and mobile version of its NetEnt Bloodsuckers game (Bloodsuckers Touch), the game did not operate as intended and winnings were paid out on those bonus rounds at a lower level than they should have been. A small proportion of players of the game were affected to some extent. The malfunction occurred during the period between the launch of the game on 21 August 2014 and its suspension."

In this instance, players were contacted and refunded accordingly. If you had self-excluded I don't know how that would work though!

...but what about Frankenstein Nicola, c'mon spill the beans

 

[Nicola]

Frankenstein should make a return to most NetEnt casinos within the next 14 days

It's about time !! I can't play Mr Green's version Not a member there anymore.. Can't wait !!

Thanks for the update.

 

[dunover]

There was a key sequence error. Players would lose a bit at 20p spins, raise to £2 and before the first spin type 'ctrl-f-o-r-f-u-c-k-s-s-a-k-e-g-i-v-e-m-e-3-s-c-a-t-t-e-r-s' and get the bonus and rinse it. They would only do it at random intervals to avoid detection.

I take it then that this popular post will be joining the other 'Wonders of the World'

 

[curremon]

Come on! We want know how to cheat cheaters!

 

[slotmaster]

Ya now it comes back!

 

[The Viking]

why not tell us what was wrong with the game ?why so secret about it i dont get it.
its not like we could exploit it as the game was pulled.

I think it would be terribly embarrassing for NetEnt to let this out of the bag and that, in general, for those working in the industry it is not desirable to encourage discussion about it because - most probably, judging by the clues - it shows that despite the super rigid fancy controls, verifications, certifications, etc., ANYTHING is possible and we players are at the absolute mercy of the software coders who can do whatever they please and who are only human so there is always room for unintentional or even - as was most probably the case with the Frankenstein slot - intentional error, i.e. a sort of a back-door in this case.

I think it would be a decent thing to stop badgering Nicole about this; I presume she had to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement after reporting this and that this agreement might even forbid her to even mention this again (in order not to fuel discussion about it).

As if someone would sign such a thing for bringing something to their attention? It would take at least 50 free spins on starburst to buy my silence

I actually know what the bug is now but I'm not going repeat it here for fear of the mods giving me an infraction or ban and accusing me of encouraging cheating, player fraud, yewtree crimes etc. Perhaps Nicola had similar thoughts.

 

[tataru]

Ya now it comes back!

Why the angry face?

 

[slotmaster]

Why the angry face?

Cause it looks like netent is going bye bye for us peeps in Canada. I have been waiting months for this game to return.

Thanks for the warning.

[Jono777]

They were losing money on the original hence this 'New' sack of shite.

Pleased to say it's not even seen one spin from me and never will.

This game doesn't open on any of the sites I play at. Don't know why.

Think yourself very lucky on that one

Wish Rhino didn't open on my sites

 

[slotter999]

Think Dan videoslots replied on another thread that it's something to do with UKGC compliance and will be back shortly.

I wonder if the bug played any part in that.

Haha...that's funny....
