Megaspin Break Da Bank Again

[catapultaudio]

Are there any fans here of the megaspin version of Break da bank again at microgaming? I think this is a really good idea, having the 4 machines running at once with the free spins all bundled into one, and would really like to see some more games in this format!

Just two quick things .. 1, does anybody have any clues as to why this game does not count for wagering at 32red and some other casinos? I can't follow the logic, surely it just means they receive their cut 4x quicker, no? and 2, has anybody ever actually hit the full 100 free spins?? Or even just 60? I really hope to see it one day but I must say, despite having the 4 machines running, I still seem to suffer some horrible droughts between freespins ...

rtp is too high on this slots so no wr towards bonus.

persionally i dont see the point of burning through my $ that quick..id sooner spin one machine than 4 of the same one

 

[lotusch]

Not a big fan on this one either...
4 slots = 4x stakes = 4 times faster empty bankroll if it is not willing to pay...

The reason I like it is because _theoretically_ you should see the freespins 4 times as often - but who finds this to be the case? So far, now that I consider this fact, I have not really found it to be the case, AND I have also seen plenty of dead spins where all 4 machines pay nothing ..!

Nevertheless I do enjoy playing it, but it is also tempting to just play the 4x stake a spin on a single machine and take all the action in one go too

That is odd. I always assumed it was just 4 simultaneous instances of the ordinary game, and with MGS, this means the same RTP.

Maybe the other "megaspin" variants are more than just xx instances of the single game, I had never thought to look.

How come "Summer Holiday" is not banned for bonus play, this is the highest RTP slot in the MGS portfolio, stated as being "98%-99%". It is also unique in being the only slot game with no "autospin" feature, a sure sign of something exceptional in the RTP department as other high RTP game variants also shipped without autoplay, such as Classic Blackjack and all "All Aces" video poker variants (in the days when other VP games did have autoplay).

If it's just four instances of the BDBA slot running at once then the T-RTP is identical to the normal version, which does count towards WR.

Admittedly it increases the variance so the maximum potential pay is higher, but that's the only 'risk' to the casino.

 

[catapultaudio]

It's not quite 4 instances of the game because, if you win free spins, the game reverts to a single instance where the freespins are played out - the idea is very much that the 4 machines give you 4x as many chances to win the freespins - if you hit 3x scatter on 2 machines at once you then receive 30 free spins, hence me wondering if anybody has EVER hit 100 .. which would be 5x scatters on all 4 machines simultaneously, heh.. if only

Would probably have higher chance of winning lottery then getting 5 scatters on all 4 machines

Personally have a hard time following whats happening during the spins.

Actually it decreases the variance by a factor of 4. You're 4 times more likely to hit anything, but everything you hit will pay a quarter of what it would have paid on the single BDBA slot (for the same bet size).

Well yes if it depends how you play it I suppose. If you'd normally play £1 per spin and you play four lots of 25p per spin then you're correct (I know they're not actual bet sizes on BDBA but it's long since I played BDBA in anger I've forgotten what they are).

If you played four lots of £1 per spin then the opposite is the case, what I was getting at is that four lots of max bets at once can pay far more than one lot of max bet at once, unless of course the max bets are reduced on the megaspin version.

I don't even know how the slot works, if you just get 4x everything or they're four independent games running at once or what, I'm not even sure what I'm waffling on about now, to be honest, I'll shut up.

(Can you tell I don't play MG much )

You'd win/lose 4X faster but it wouldn't "pay more". They are independent...it's like playing 4 slots at the same time at RedBet, but with 4 X BDBA.

Are you still playing at 3Dice or you're on a break?

Well yes but Redbet doesn't let you open more than one instance of the same slot at once, which is where megaspin BDBA is a potentially different proposition if it allows 4X the usual max bet on a single spin.

As for my play this month, really slowed it right down, just playing out the bonus VIP offers at 3Dice - (won on the first one and lost on the second one, although did get loads of playtime on the second one and could have easily got my deposit back) - and a couple of small deposits elsewhere.

Took the 32Red offer today, £25 bonus on a £25 deposit - that's about as intense as it's getting for me this month

I had a look, and yet again this is another example of nonsense addition of complications for no logical reason. Whilst you can't open four instances of the same slot, you can open four clones of non megaspin slots to get the same effect as a single instance of megaspin BDBA.

This only punishes the regular players who are baffled by the need for this extra complication. The Advantage players simply open several instances of slots that DO count for WR, and then do whatever the hell it is that they think gives them an advantage.

I don't even see any loophole, as the bet on all four slots will still count as a single bet for the max bet rules just as a bet on 5 hand Blackjack counts as a single bet.

I think the casinos don't understand the maths, so are merely shooting in the dark, adding a restriction because of a past experience they don't understand, not realising that it doesn't actually achieve anything as far as deterring Advantage Players.

MGS have 400 slots, and it's less than a dozen that paranoid operators have sought to ban so far. This gives the Advantage Players plenty more to analyse and work out tactics for, although not all will be worth it.
