So I'm sure somewhere in this forum there was at one point in time maybe a Megasaur thread. Yet because I don't want to necro one that could be a few months old. I'm just going to post a few observations I have noticed.
Earlier today I was playing with a coupon, and triggered the bonus round. During this bonus round I remember reading somewhere in the rules that if you hit 3 of a kind scatter symbols. You'll get paid 10% of the advertised jackpot.
Well lo and behold I hit these 3 scatter symbols. Only to tell me that the bonus round was retriggered. So I thought ok, well maybe I have to select the volcanoes then after that I'll be told the windfall that I would get. Nope after that it added the spins to my counter, gave me a scatter pay and moved on.
So then I thought well it gets awarded at the end. So I waited for my pathetic bonus to end. Long story short, no 10% of the jackpot. Just my $13.00 I had won.
So then I finally re-read the rules that the jackpot has to be activated when the bonus round begins. So I'm thinking activated what does that mean, does that mean that RTG gets to choose, which bonus rounds qualify and which ones don't.
So I played on for a bit, got another bonus round. This time I paid attention to everything that happened on the screen. Right once I started the bonus round. Right where the jackpot was, it flashed real quickly inactive. So right there and then answered my question. That RTG can basically give you a big ole FU clause right before the bonus hits. That no matter how many volcanoes you hit. Your only going to retrigger the bonus round and nothing else.
I'm also maybe slightly curious if the casino has control over this or not, or if RTG really controls when the bonus round qualifies for a possible jackpot?
Does anyone else have a similar experience with this game? Any thoughts, opinions, comments?
