I have noticed far far too often some of the following on DOA.....
Base game spin....the scatter stops one row above the top row on ALL FIVE reels.
Bonus round.....Wilds also landing one row above the top row. Thankfully, not on all five reels. Not even Netent are that twisted in the head.
Laggy base game spins....all the premium symbols, wilds and scatters in perfect alignment.
Stuff like that happening several times a session really gets on my nerves and is likely to put players with shorter fuses than mine on megatilt.
I'm so wary of the HTML5 version of DOA that I have gone from playing it at 18p a spin MINIMUM on the old version
to playing it at 18p a spin MAXIMUM on the HTML5 version.
Yeah, I have mentioned this before.
Do you start and stop reels on DOA?
You see the 5 scatters and 4 wilds lined up often.
And the times i have had 5OAK hats for a win is unbelievable.
No mate, I just play it on quickspin, but I change it to normal speed when the bonus round triggers and then back to quickspin once it's finished. I can't be arsed with that start and stop shit, not even on the old version. The less clicks I am doing when playing DOA, the better as far as I'm concerned. I put it on autoplay at 100 spins per time.
And yes, the hats DO seem to 5OAK quite a lot in comparison to the other premium symbols, even more frequently than the lesser paying boots and just as often as the lesser paying whisky glasses.

The real question is: are Netent a bunch of deceitful cack-handed gibbons?
Have they gimped DOA beyond recognition?
Is the gameplay significantly different?
Do the reels misrepresent potential wins and string the hapless player along?
Yes. The answer is bloody yes
I would hate to think they have gimped any game, tin foil hats ... yup. But with the very very clear changes to Twin Spin I now have my doubts.
The game play though on the way they are doing the HTM5 "upgrades" is just shocking. But we are just a tiny % of players, and netent wont give a toss
so long as they are millions of other unsuspecting players. Problem is ALL games will be html5 in time. All games!
And what is a concern is not one rep has commented to confirm / deny that no changes to the maths model of such games has taken place.
My suspicion is Twin Spin , I asked Video Slots on this and did not get a reply makes you think ?
You'll have more chance of hell freezing over, or getting a triple wildline following a five-scatter bonus trigger, than any rep from any casino confessing to gameplay alterations, and/ or inside info on how these warped games now run
True ... but a straight question of has RTP or Game Model changed in any way you would think if there was nothing to hide could be answered. But the answer from the players perspective is pretty clear cut. Just dont play the games we think "could have" been gimped. I was never a hard core DOA addict , but know many are ... its crap. All we need now is MG to follow suit with TS2/IR and BDBA ....Because everything else they produce these days dont need to be gimped as crap game play and lack of "thought" makes sure no one will play them anyway.
