Harry's Videoslots Marathon

[aceking123]

Good morning guys & girls,

Day 3 of the marathon has been sheer boredom. Excuse me if i won't finish CT today and do some other providers. Unfortunately, most providers do not support multi-play, hence it is all taking quite long.

Took a break yesterday to escape the boredom and paid the Sheriff a visit....boah, he ate me alive, hair included.

And we had some great stories to read again, thank you very much for sharing them. :notworthy

Down to business:

- marathon will continue @ 13.00 GMT / 14.00 CET
- will ask Kenny again for some support after yesterday's losses
- Elk Studios will be the first provider for today, heard and read some good reviews
- will start though with the slot from Red Tiger to complete the Christmas challenge

Result from Day 3:

- Overall RTP Day 1+2+3: 91.13%
- Best single win: none to report
- Slots added to new favorites list: 0

Wishing you all a great day!

P.S. no withdrawal yesterday

im guessing your do ok on elk games harry good lucky buddy great thread by the way

Part 11 - ELK Studios + Blueprint Gaming

What a pleasant change from yesterday's "snoozefest".

Kenny was so nice again to throw in a 50% bonus.... thank you very much :notworthy

Both providers focus on Mobile gaming, hence all is pretty easy and quick to set-up.

Blueprint - only 1 slot available. Suppose I could have stayed longer as the game has so many different features but you need scatters on Reel 1+3+5 and in 80 spins I never seen 2, let alone 3. Also the random fairy feature never triggered. With the top paying symbol stacked it has some potential so I might try it again in the future.

ELK is very likeable, pleasant to the eye, good background sounds + music, very smooth spinning (no a single lag in all the spins I did). The Bloopers slot is a must try, silly funny game with big win potential.

Good one! Elk noted to go on my "to try" list when i depo at VS later on. Dont think I have ever played them, ... so many damn games to choose from Blueprint are great but cant access them for some reason from the UK

Good review again cheers

Only Elk one i bother with is Electric Sam to help clear some wagering.
Yes the 2 bell scatter teases are annoying.
Its surprising how many features on the trot can be for the exact same win.
And then it can throw in a great one.

 

[slotmaster]

Haha true JD.

ElK has some good games for play, Not sure about big wins but I like a few of their games.

 

[Jono777]

The reason I won't play ELK games is that the wins displayed in the 'Win Count Ups' are not a true reflection of the amount won.

The best I can work out is they are based on a whole unit even though this is not the stake / bet size

Example: (Electric Scam) Win shows and counts up/displays as 1000 coins but the bet is 0.20 so you actually get 2.00 but it shows as If you are playing 1.00 bet.

Hard to explain but I was majorly confused last time I tried this slot and hence have never been back since.

Yeah I know what you mean.
I play Electric Sam on 50p, so its not too bad with just having to half the win

No, not massive wins but Sam can sometimes keep you going for a hell of a long time.

I play it mostly on the Caddell sites

 

[aceking123]

you should play bloopers & el torro , bloopers is a smashing game & yes you can win some good money on it , el torro is a little bit tricky as its hard to hit the required symbols then hit in the bull in under three spins although , you can get it on a single win , for a monster you need it to pop on when you have all three opposite side of reels 2,3,4 top, bottom, & top this give you the snake affect with 2,3,4 reels complete cover of wilds.

Part 12 - Chance Interactive + Endorphina

The fun-o-meter dropping fast.

Chance - wasn't impressed. Graphics = so, so; Sounds = awful; took 159 spins to show me once 2 scatters, very laggy spinning

Endorphina - heard many good things but i am rather disappointed. Old style games - simple, although crisp, graphics - no fun factor.

I think you have to play like £1 for it to be the actuall win size, Whitch is bloody stupid if you ask me,

Now now Harry

Part 13 - Endorphina 19-34

Well the games have not improved in the second part, pretty awful TBH.....can't see me playing Endorphina in the future.

However, the last slot gave me the biggest win of the Marathon: total 443x Bet. ....waited to the very last slot, like they wanted to reward me for enduring their boring games.

For some reason it won't let me upload the screenshot.

EDIT: Screenshot uploaded.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Took me 150 new slots to get one good win!

Somehow the screenshot uploaded.

Taking a break for now.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Good afternoon all!

Sorry, late today.... work stuff, sometimes i have to do that to get my next gaming budget!

Gaming yesterday started well with some great slots from ELK, but then nosedived badly with Chance and Endorphina. The only good part was a 443x bet win on the last Endorphina slot, other than that i was really disappointed with their games.

Down to business:

- over 150 slots in 4 days, only 3-4 looked suitable for new favorites list
- marathon will continue @ 13.00 GMT / 14.00 CET
- not sure yet which provider will be first

Result from Day 4:

- Overall RTP Day 1+2+3+4: 94.21%
- Best single win: 443x bet on Wild Fruits from Endorphina
- Slots added to new favorites list: 1 - Bloopers from Elk

Wishing you all a great day!

P.S. no withdrawal yesterday, blew the balance on TS2 chasing hot air

Part 14 - Skillzzgaming + Thunderkick

Talk of a low variance "snooze+bore fest" ....knew some slots from the battles and my suspicion was confirmed. You can play for hours on minimum bet with a tenner. Only 2 had some big win potential, BoaW and Rift.

Very annoying that you can't skip win counts when on Autospin

Doing Yggdrasil next, hoping for some more excitement.

 

[slotmaster]

Spectra and zoom are good games, Yes hard to hit big win's but they can keep you playing. Surprised you scored them that low.

The low score comes from not having a bonus round plus the very low variance, you can play endlessly seeing your balance very slowly fading away. The games are not bad in itself but geez, are they boring.

Sorry, but i am a sucker for bonus rounds with good pay potential

 

[Steviedoo]

Any insights since you started the marathon?

I'm thinking with the exception of one or two in each of the game provider the rest of the games in their portfolios are not any good.

From appr. 200 slots that i tried until now:

60% - absolutely useless games
20% - some improvement to above
10% - getting exciting
8-9% - would consider to try again
1-2% - on the new favorites list

Please consider that this is only my personal opinion. Some people might like playing simple 5, 10 or 20-liners with no features, no bonus rounds or the like.

To a large part the marathon is a "snoozefest" but i will stoically try each of the slots.

To a large part the marathon is a "snoozefest" but i will stoically try each of the slots.

For me of late (and yes I blame the longest losing spell of my 'career' for 80% of the problem) the whole thing is becoming a snoozefest.

I've reduced deposits (originally by choice, more lately due to no wins = smaller pot) tried new games, varied casinos and still I am getting little enjoyment and certainly no 'buzz' like I used to here and there.

Already have a couple of possible 'fixes' for this, the first and most likely will be a serious reduction in play - as little as 1-2 deposits a week maybe?

The second will be this thread and a blast of Harry's top findings come the end of his journey.

I have already been reassured that bad luck will have to break eventually lets hope this happens real soon and on one of my tried and tested so that I can use my newly acquired wealth to test out for myself the 'Top Slots' 'discovered' in Harry's quest

 

[Harry_BKK]

Part 15 - Yggdrasil 1 - 19

Geez, went from low variance boredom to super high variance hell.

Decided i stay long on the first Yggdrasil slot to see the sticky wilds and it took 1123 to the first Free Spins round, which paid 10xbet with 1 wild.

Other than that not much excitement except for Casino Zeppelin, which will be added to my list.

Design of the games is very good, the animations sometimes really awesome, e.g. try the Double Dragons slot. However, too many of their slots take ages to hit a bonus round, which we know that 9/10 won't pay a damn thing.

You must have collected a tonne of reward spins/trophie/achievement free spins or whatever they are called on VS.
FUN!
