it really is the ultimate high(est?) variance game there is. Its pretty much the prototype of "go big or go home" type of a game.
non 5OAK symbols pay next to nothing. all 50OAK pay 100x - 1000x and there is stacked wild on reel 3 so its possible to hit multiple 5OAK in a single spin. also there are no free spins which means you wont get those 40x -100x random hits we are used to from free spins when base game is being a bitch
i guess its ok if you are into this kind of games, but you really cant expect much playtime from slots like this one. you will either get one (or more) big hits or go busto rather quickly because of lack of base game wins to keep you alive. Its not my thing but im sure there are people who enjoy the thrill these games can offer so theres that. I wont be playing it though, but in case i do try it for real at some point, ill know what am i getting into
i do agree how games like this one should come up with warning sign though (something like... mega high variance game - spin at your own risk? )
edit: was curious enough to try it in free spins mode. 1000 quick spins @ 50c (you can make it spin relatively quickly by setting up autoplay and clicking anywhere on the screen
).
started with 10k. 1000 spins at 50c = $500. end result ...
$9721
so $279 lost out of possible $500 ^_^
no 5 oak obviously so naturally RTP wasnt all that nice. didnt really plan to play this one regardless, but i was just curious how often does 5OAK happen though. I know its just 1k spins so we cant really make any conclusions but even so, if it was real money i know what conclusion i would have made, and it would most likely put me off from playing yggdrasil games for good
so really, warning sign could come in handy for both yggdrasil and its players.
