New Slot Announcement Genie Jackpots MEGAWAYS by Blueprint

[KasinoKing]

Blueprint feels like style over substance, great licensed games but death by a thousand spins. Genie MW is the exception in that it's got a stale base game, despite the Megaways IP, and absolutely shocking bonuses. Only one of those is viable as far as I've seen, the 'Unlimited Multiplier' that's capped is by far the worst of the bunch, when it ought to have been the crowning glory.

What do you mean "the 'Unlimited Multiplier' that's capped"
This is the only one that can re-trigger - potentially indefinitely... if you believe it's truly random
The best I've had was up to x35 so far.

Worst game you could ever buy features on as majority will pay less than your buy.

Like the slot but i think the actual bonuses are poor. I find the genie wishes from the lamps are the way to win on this game. All my best wins have came from them. Had a few good bonuses but when i hit a bonus i expect it to pay 20x bet or less.

Ain't that the truth!
My "buy a feature" results have been truly SHOCKING - it's hard to imagine the game would reach it's TRTP if you ONLY bought features.
But I guess mega-wins are possible, if extremely rare - so they have to take a load of cash from 100's of crap buys to pay for those...

I always thought that if the Bonus Megaways was picked at the Random Gene Bonus then it was a certainty to drop at least 3 scatters, I've always had 3 or more scatters when it has.

But tonight on 4 occasions in a row I got the Bonus Megaways via the genie and every time only 2 scatters dropped in, and the base game was dog shit as usual.

I fell into the same trap! The first dozen or so times I had bonus megaways I ALWAYS got the feature - I've even had 5 or 6 scatters a few times.
But then suddenly I had 3 or 4 in a row only give 2.
That's the ultimate prick-tease - bad enough the Genie popping his head out, then disappearing back into his lamp - but to give you a feature which then gives you absolutely NOTHING is gut-wrenching

Having said all the above... I actually LOVE this game!
Yeah it's fricking annoying 99% of the time, but it's given me a lot of VERY nice wins.
Last night was the crowning glory: a random Genie gave me a "Genie Win Spin" and more than half-filled the screen with the top-pay symbol.

And this is how future of slotting is going to look like This slot has achieved the new level of RTP check... now we will have people defending slots variance with things like

"But but, only 400 bonuses is a small sample, you need to buy millions of bonuses to get close to theoretical RTP!"

they created a slot where buy feature acts pretty much like a normal spin, just at 100x normal spins value. Its kinda brilliant if you think about it though

you know, the regular excuse people used to defend bonanza not being able to pay out those monster wins despite its "unlimited" potential where people used "millions of spins" to dismiss "naysayers".

yet ive posted a pretty damn big sample with 3,6m spins where max win was 3,600x or so and yet everyone ignores it. I suspect its because just 3 millions wont cut it, you know it has unlimited potential so at least 36 millions of spins are needed.

tldr: companies are abusing feature buy and they are, legally making fun of betting limits set by ukgc and others so yeah im not a huge fan of this or any feature buy slot.

Well, it doesn't go indefinitely so unless you think it can or does, it's certainly capped. Good luck getting the Bonanza multiplier past 45x, and good luck getting the multiplier on this to actually pay something, never mind re-trigger indefinitely

Yet more BS PR from developers, but of course 'Unlimited Multiplier' is accepted by players everywhere, so companies will continue to churn out these gimmicks

 

[KasinoKing]

Just checked my stats after last night's win. Yep, it's definitely a horrid game

KK

 

[goatwack]

Wonderful!

Still doesn't make the Unlimited Multiplier unlimited

 

[Reelsoffun]

Wonderful!

Still doesn't make the Unlimited Multiplier unlimited

Unlimited multiplier just means its not capped, so therefore it is unlimited, obviously the math will technically control the expected average and theoretical maximum but the fact its not capped allows the statement to be true as only the chances of re-triggers are restricting it from going on and on and on.......

Its no different to Novomatic saying Lucky lady's charm slot with "unlimited re-triggers"

Well yes, it's 'Mathematically-capped' if anything, so technically it's legal but in name-only. Therefore it's make- believe and statistically-set to hit a ceiling. So to all intents and purposes it's capped.

The wording could just as easily have been changed to 'Ascending Multiplier', but of course that's nowhere near as catchy

 

[Scott1baird]

£90 on a 10p feature, also had 0p on a £3 feature so good and bad, mostly bad.

Diamond Mine however is pretty good. It employs the MW to full effect unlike Genie, and plays that little bit higher-variance than Bonanza too from what I've sampled

To be truthful I’ve seen some obscene hits on this game, that said it doesn’t feel like a slot.
More of scratchcard kind of game.
I do like bonanza, but the rest of the 89 billion megaways games I’m bored with.
Maybe I’m old fashioned and granted, but I want to play a slot... not some insane varience lottery ticket.

Ok i will give you that, very true... LOL

 

[mcgameboy]

Played it for the first time last weekend. And I have to say, based on that session alone, I absolutely loved it. I will definitely be playing this again.

Did a long-roll grindathon at 40p a spin, because I had £1050 of WR left on my deposit.

Seven wins of 100x. Peaked at £408 profit, cleared the WR with £315 profit from 2,625 spins. And eventually quit £289 ahead.

8 bonus features (that's EXCLUDING the Genie Win Spin, Genie Wilds and Wild Megaways features that I got) in total.
5 of them came via "normal spins" (ie no genie lamp - all of them were 3 scatter triggers), the other 3 came via the genie lamp (one of them was a 4 scatter trigger).

Breakdown of the 8 bonus features plus the 100x wins....

Feature 1 - Spin 43 - Genie lamp awards Bonus Megaways, I land 4 scatters and get locking wilds, so I get 12 spins.
It paid 376.4x, with 150.4x of that coming on the last spin. 1st 100x win of the session.

Feature 2 - Spin 436 - Natural 3 scatter trigger, I get Genie Streak. It paid 141.6x. Best win was 90x (90 x 6OAK of Ks). 2nd 100x win of the session.

Spin 550 - Genie lamp gives me Genie Wilds - 5 reels turned wild (3x on Reel 1, 2x on Reels 3, 4, 5 and 6). Paid 432x. 3rd 100x win of the session.

Feature 3 - Spin 650 - Natural 3 scatter trigger, I get locking wilds. It paid 39x.

Spin 922 - Genie lamp gives me Wild Megaways - It paid 140x. 4th 100x win of the session.

Spin 1135 - Genie lamp gives me Genie Win Spin. Got 24 x 5OAK of Genie Jackpots. It paid 240x. 5th 100x win of the session.

Feature 4 - Spin 1168 - Natural 3 scatter trigger, I get unlimited multiplier. It paid 21.6x.

Feature 5 - Spin 1174 - Genie lamp awards Bonus Megaways, I land 3 scatters and get Genie Streak. It paid 90.6x.

Feature 6 - Spin 1669 - Natural 3 scatter trigger, I get Genie Streak. It paid 50.1x.

Spin 1672 - Genie lamp gives me Genie Win Spin. Got 40 x 6OAK of gold chests. It paid 200x. 6th 100x win of the session.

Feature 7 - Spin 2046 - Genie lamp awards Bonus Megaways, I land 3 scatters and get Genie Streak. It paid 47.1x.

Spin 2092 - Genie lamp gives me Wild Megaways - It paid 107.5x. 7th 100x win of the session. Hit peak profit of £408.

Feature 8 - Spin 2153 - Natural 3 scatter trigger, I get unlimited multiplier. It paid 13.5x.

And all of the above is just the main highlights of the session. There were several more genie lamp features.
I had a few Bonus Megaways which didn't give the bonus at all and even a couple of the Wild Megaways paid zero.
But I also got my fair share of Genie Win Spins and Genie Wilds, all of which paid, but for less than 100x.
And there were obviously quite a few "false triggers" of the genie lamp as well.

So all in all, there was a hell of a lot going on. My only annoyance was that I never got a shot at the Mystery Wishes feature.
Mainly because I've seen a couple of screenies on the Bandit's forum where this feature paid out over 5000x.

Before anyone thinks that I'm being biased because I won, it is my opinion based on one session, so it is still subject to change.
All I can say though it has been a bloody long time since I had such an enjoyable first session on a slot.
I think the last time it happened was when Jungle Spirit came out and how long ago was that?
I'm all too aware there will inevitably be sessions where I will get my ass handed to me, but based on first impressions, I feel like when I play this game,
I am at the very least going to get some opportunities to land a decent win.
Unlike Borenanza, where I can play two hours and get no feature and no base games win above 25x. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz......

As for big win potential, it would seem that the best win potential comes from the Wild Megaways and Mystery Wishes features (I've seen screenies of 6000x on both).
But given that the Genie Wilds and Genie Streak can also pay north of 1000x, it seems that are several ways to win big on this game.

Which only makes me think one thing.....you simply do not need to resort to feature buying.

Since they started using the Megaways game mechanic, Blueprint seem to have upped their game bigtime (no pun intended).
I am starting to find Blueprint games to be a more attractive choice than anything BTG are offering at the moment.

Bonanza can go rot for all I care, because it has done nothing but bore the tits clean off me and hand my ass back to me for the last month.

 

[Nicola]

Played this for the first time last night. Urgh.

Bonus megaways kept teasing and everytime the ****ing genie appeared to wind me up the auto-played stopped

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Decent play session on this with visibility of all the various base game 'Make A Wish' features, and also the main features.

Dual-slot play with Tesla, the new slot at 3Dice.

 

[kazzi]

Been really bad for me for over a week, hardly any random features and seems like getting 3 scatters is really rare the amount of times it give scatter on reel 1+2 then nothing is crazy.

But had huge wins on it so cant complain hopefully soon it pays up again.

 

[theapple]

Its a really wonderful slot. Tried it for the first time today and i can say i love it. I got one bonus after no more than 400 spins, and it paid more than 20x, which is kinda nice. At least i had some base game wins of 10-15x so its all good.

Then it ate 140x from me before i got another bonus, but it was well worth the wait. Now i can see why so many people here love this one

its a beauty. it paid almost x

 

[mcgameboy]

Well I finally had my first genuine stinker of a session on this game.

Bonus feature was totally untriggerable, the game could have had 10 reels and I still would have felt like I was an underdog to hit the third scatter.

As for the genie lamp, 5 activations, but 2 of them were bogus/dummies. As for the 3 that were genuine, they all stank.

No wins above 25x in 580 spins of play and £188 down the tubes on 60p bets. RTP under 46%.

Still think it's a great game though. But by god, when it's in a foul mood, it's depressingly bad.

No difference to Bonanza, White Rabbit, Diamond Mine etc then....

Well, there is ONE difference my friend.

I'd be more than happy to give GJM another go. Several more goes in fact. I can't say that about the other three.

 

[Harry_BKK]

True words, i see GJM as the better option as well, simply because there is more happening during the normal gameplay like with all BP games.

I so need this.
Long story short, I am bashing this game at CasinoEuro and have at least €2000.00 pushed into this over various deposits and also from some winning from other slots.
I know it is a HV slot but it has been absolutely diabolical for me.
It is taking the piss really.

When I get the genie feature the pay is mostly 5-20x stake max and I triggered maybe 5 times the free spins in thousands of spins and the best pay was 114x, the other were atrocious with a whopping €4.20 on a €2.00 FS trigger cherry on the cake.

Was lucky on Videoslots with a 800x on my second feature but at CasinoEuro it is vile vile vile.
Like they force you to buy a feature as it only triggers with 3 scatters organically every 800 spins or so.

Bought 1 feature for €60.00 which "paid" €25.80.

Awesome!!!!!

I thought this was a decent slot but I am not sure where my 95.96% RTP share is on CasinoEuro.

So maybe it is saving up for one of those you had KK, let's hope so!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I would really recommend against buying the feature on this slot, I learned the hard way!

You'll get a much better game just playing it naturally, and the random Genie Features that pop up in the base game can provide nice little balance boosters or maintainers.

Yes the T-RTP is the same in the long run, but you invoke a truly horrendous variance profile if you go down the feature buy route.

I had a pretty decent extended session at VS just before Christmas and this slot got a decent amount of play, video should be online for this weekend.

 

[KasinoKing]

So maybe it is saving up for one of those you had KK, let's hope so!

Not played it much since my 2 big wins in October - that's my "I've used up all my good luck" superstition kicking in!

Last time I did try it (about a week ago), it totally MURDERED my bankroll with not a sniff of even a half-decent win
Buying features is just stupid IMO - though I DO still do it myself sometimes!

Hope YOU get a big one soon!
KK

 

[johnnymcc1966]

Won't buy features on this slot because it doesn't cascade and that's where I feel the value of the megaways feature is.

 

[lotusch]

But they nearly force you to buy a feature as it takes so damn long to trigger one in normal pay...Add the long spells of dry spins where the genie seems AWOL and your bankroll is doomed.
The amount of times I had bonus scatter on reel 1 & 2 and not a single one would drop in on reels 3 to 6...Just a joke really...

Like I said only bought one feature to see if it would give me a half decent pay but even that triggered with just 3 scatters...

 

[thr0b]

Every time I’ve triggered the feature on this, it’s been a great payout. Doesn’t seem to take too long either, though I don’t tend to stick with it for more than a few spins if it doesn’t “feel” like I’m on a winning round.
