Why stupid robby b*stard ^^

Nah not you mate..

I did 10 bonus buys in a row at 337x bet. Only once did i not end up in profit.

Don't know if that is indicative, but it played rather well.

Is that officially classed as ‘the ‘harry seal of approval’ lol
Looks interesting, but I was never a fan of bonus buys, especially not at that price.
But if it’s worth it then it may get a deposit to test the water so to speak.

Interesting slot!

The difference in the purchase for 10 and 18 spins is nearly 6.5 times.

For 10 spins you pay x52 but for 18 x337. So it means for 8 additional spins you pay x285.

 

[Playford7]

This is actually shocking for my (admittedly very small) sample. 20% of them gave a tiny profit of less than 10% of the cost, 80% either paid a half or quarter of it.

As Harry said, the results are better on the insane buy-in. So when word spreads that this is the case, you have players who are going to be suckered in to frankly stupid stakes. IMO the lower-end buy-in is a totally facile proposition and should be avoided always.

Step up the streamers lol.

Why do these slots get approved...337x stake!!!!!! Insane and stupid as f*ck...
What is this slot provider thinking, it is just ridiculous that this kind of buy ins make it through all the regulations...
Responsible gaming out of the window...
Maybe add the anonymous gamblers telephone number on the pay table of this slot...

Stupid robbing b*stards.

Totally agree.
We had the uproar in the uk about the fobty and the £50 spin..
strangely enough this is now transferring to online casinos.
Tbh I seen it a mile away, and no doubt the ukgc will be years behind regulating it, but online to a problem gambler is a hell of a lot more dangerous.
The bonus buy should be banned, that’s not a slot.
It’s just a online fobty.
Horrible and immoral IMO

For 10 spins you pay x52 but for 18 x337. So it means for 8 additional spins you pay x285.

The last 3 spins cost about 152x (difference between 15 spin and 18 spin buy).
So that's about 50x each, with each spin being more valuable than the last.

The 10 spin feature itself cost about 52x.

So I think we can be pretty confident that means that the 18th spin alone is worth more than the entirety of a 10 spin feature (on average) - pretty crazy.

That also means that if you buy the big feature and the first spin is dead, you've already effectively lost like 60x bet. On the other hand, getting 2+ of those feature things right away would be very valuable.

Does anyone have a link where this can be played in demo?

Thanks

The more you pay for a feature the more it can afford to give you 0.1 to 0.5x buy in profit. Buy in at 300x for example can pay 310-320x 9 times to cover the one 30-50x bad hit. Gives you the impression it “wins” quite often whilst taking you to the cleaners. I am very close to giving it all up to be honest due to the shocking morals on display in the industry and that actually makes me quite happy.

 

[bowki]

Bonus buy for up to 12.135€ on maxbet is just insane.

The jackpots are fixed for your slot, like WMS' Wishing You Fortune, but they do rise as you play so obviously a small amount of your RTP is included in them. They are paid on the top symbol being scattered in the bonus or base game, naturally more likely in the feature. I can't be assed to go back into again, I think it's 16 or 18+ in view (which you'll need the reel rows to be sufficient for too) to get the gold. Could be 20, I dunno offhand.

Hm, so does that mean that you're basically sacrificing a small amount of RTP that you "contribute" to those jackpots until you hit them? Looks like that might be a few % left on the table if you never hit a good feature. Not really a fan of that type of design, tempts you to keep playing until you get your "contributions" back. Since that's all that it really is, you're paying 2-4% per spin to those jackpots and then when you finally hit them it's just your own money being returned.

They could just as well have made those scatter payouts at a slightly higher than base price and kept the same RTP if they wanted, but seems like a way to lock you into playing.

It is like having your very own progressive jackpot as the values get stored per casino where you play it. Question is only what value does it have for a player as no one else is contributing, so you only win your own money back, plus the seed value of the jackpot. However, I am sure the math model will ensure that on average you pay that too befor it hits.

10 get you silver, 12 get you gold and 16 get you platinum. I hit Gold twice in the 10 bonus rounds I played.

Writing the review for it today, so will be playing it minimum 3 hours non-stop in demo mode. At the end I will do 50 bonus buys to get a better sample distribution. Let's see how I do.

EDIT: About 3% of your bet is going to the three jackpots - silver gets 1.66%, gold get 0.34% and platinum 1%.

EDIT II: The other downside from having the 3 JPs is that the line pays are mediocre, to put it mildly. 3.3x bet for a 6OAK top symbol is absurdly low.

EDIT III: You get coin wins for 3 to 6 scatters, so there goes another 2 - 3% RTP.

Well, i managed just over 2 hours only as it is not really fun to play. Plus, it fires up the CPU to max all the time, very resource hungry. My laptop barely breaks a sweat when I run 3 or 4 demos games simultaneously but got rather hot with just this one running.

Here the results for the run. Overall RTP, including the FS and JP pays, was just over 70%

The slot seems to run the features in batches every few hundred spins. One thing is pretty clear, you will have a hard time getting to 100x bet in a 10 FS round.

Fair play - you definitely lost me there. Did I mention you in the video?

Ah, I see! You bolded a piece of your post now. No, I wouldn't think you're crazy enough to pay 337x for a feature...

[VismundCygnus]

thanks for vid, although you forgot to say Gamble Responsibly this time, something I think make a lot of sense for this one

My main issue with this slot is that the difference between getting a 6OAK on the lowest payer and the highest payer is only 2x. Makes the base game drone on without any hard drivers to look for.

 

[sapit222]

Tried it a bit and im not impressed so far.

 

[Broke]

Yup, 4 buy-ins @0,60 stake (202 per feature) and managed to lose over 400. Worst one paid 14€.

Stay away from me, you evil machine. I think it's planning to take over the World
