New Slot Announcement MENTAL by NoLimit City a gritty theme, brilliantly executed!

[ChopleyIOM]

Well look at that screenshot above of what 66,666x stake looks like, and then compare that with things you think are going to at least be a good pay going off the symbols and number of ways, which then conk out at 50x, or 100x.

Why on earth put a symbol that's worth 100 instances of itself on the reels, and then have it able to hide out down the bottom of a reel like that?

It's hard enough to get patient wins as it is, without throwing nonsense like that in there.

 

[thr0b]

Played it a bit in real mode yesterday. No big wins, but hey-ho, it was only to test it out really.

The one thing I'd say about the sepia is it makes the game difficult to see what's going on. The symbols just don't stand out enough, and that makes it difficult on the eyes; yes, the spin is decided at the point of the click, so what is shown on screen doesn't really matter, but equally - I like to watch the spins drop in and work out how they will play out. It's bloody difficult on this one.

A rare miss for NLC, I think,.

 

[Sprocket]

It’s absolutely baffling watching the symbols split and expand in the bonus.
Bought about 40 of the most expensive bonuses, two paid more than the buy level.
Shite.
Hope their next offering is something better than this.

 

[bamberfishcake]

40 at 1000x stake?

Tell me that was minimum bet, what was the return roughly?

 

[Sprocket]

Aye minimum bet.
£200 buy level, most features £50-£100
Had two over the cost of the bonus, one £309 and one £395.

The volatility on NLC's feature buys are crackers, particularly when you get up to the most expensive ones, IMO they are pure streamer bait for those playing with funded accounts (i.e. pretend money). mere mortals playing with real money should approach with extreme caution.

Which is exactly what I do. I'm UK based and even if allowed, I wouldn't bonus buy. I don't mind a little grind, and some of these are quick to spill out a bonus, but when they do I'm sorely disappointed. I mean we should be happy with a 3 scatter trigger, but when playing NLC, I am gutted that I never manage at least a 4 scatter trigger.

This slot ain't for me, but San quentin still stays up top as a brilliantly executed slot which one day I hope to at least be upgraded to 5, I doubt I'll ever hit that naturally!

No no, it’s been brilliantly executed

[Jono777]

Top (5 scatter) NLC bonus buys costs what I usually budget for a whole year, at least they're heading that way

 

[CertaCas]

I think they warrant a separate section in responsible gambling called “bonus buy limit”, they’re the most dangerous things ever invented.

 

[Sprocket]

I’ll have another blast on this over a morning coffee and a smoke or two.

 

[Sprocket]

Time to dust off the oul VPN


How many features to return at least the 1000x bonus buy?


576x
378.1x
129x ?
434x
349.4x
560x
633.4x
949.5x
361.4x
705.3x
292.8x
280.95x
543x (8 spins into the 11, had 1x ?)
524.3x
549.7x
962.5x (so close)
408.2x
Yes!! 1141.4x
18 buys, almost exhausting the 10000x start balance. So many dead spins it is laughable.


Well done NLC.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Are you actually doing that with real money?

One thing I will say for NLC is you can play their games in demo mode at their affiliate site and see how much of a new arsehole their bonus buys will rip you without committing any actual funds.

Exactly what I am doing, hence the vpn
So many dead spins in any bonus it’s incredible.

 

[Sprocket]

Incidentally, I think NLC have brought out some brilliant slots and some interesting mechanics. However this isn’t one of them imo. Far too complex, shoehorning in loads of them together.
Hope Das Boot X is better than this.

 

[thr0b]

For contrast, I tried a bonus buy in demo mode last night. I did a three scatter first, and won around 40x

I then took a five scatter, and won around 5500x.

Both results I'd be happy with if they'd come up naturally. The latter even mores.

Streamer-bait, yes, but their slots are fun. This one just needs some visual tweaks to actually be playable.

 

[Lucky Loser]

I like the game but geez is it brutal on the bank balance. Seems the most volatile NLC slot by a country mile.

 

[curremon]

Another one of these... You want to see bonus , buy or die of old age trying... Why Even have scatters in base game.. also why you Make IT so hard to get feature on all of your games compared to average payout wich IS shit...

 

[flyerskyangle]

Like shit ,90%under 50%of the maximum bonus buy

 

[flyerskyangle]

200usd bonus buy got this many times
Not shit?

 

[ultra100]

200usd bonus buy got this many times
Not shit?

Yeah, 99.9999% of the times, until something like this jumps in:

Meaning less, you lost 20k to get a 15k?

 

[ultra100]

I didn't myself. Its however, ultra high variance, not sure if its worth chasing it.

 

[curremon]

Their slots are simply really expencive scratch cards.. For example mental you buy Ticket For Max win of 66x win... Would you buy Ticket like that from shop with so Bad odds... Im pretty sure you wouldnt.. and dont tell me you can get that feature by normal play of 0,20€ you cant

That is such a daft way to do a top pay, a handful of 3OAKS that look far too similar to all the other symbols (you know what people like? Sepia!), except they have x200 overlaid on them.

One of the biggest thrills in slots is seeing full screens of wins or really a good winline landing right across the reels, not some crappy little half height symbols only making 3OAKs.

That is probably the most prominent negative about the game, it does indeed look bizarre on the eye for a puny 3OAK effectively paying way over 66666x and being pegged back to the max win, kind of like overkill.

 

[slotmaster]

OMG! Just hit the mental free spins on a spin! So got the 3 bonus symbols with the 2 spiders!

"only" 852x Which is alright but thought it was going to be like 1,000's x

 

[jerome26b]

Get the max win again for the second time at this game.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Get the max win again for the second time at this game.

2nd time! WTG!

How many spins do you reckon you have done to get that? Are you in profit or loss for the game?

 

[jerome26b]

I’m in profit and only mental bonus buys as spinning for mental bonus I tried once and didn’t get one in 4 hours so boring ;-). I believe I was lucky cause the first time I get it on stake after only 3 bonus buys. Then I tried probably 100-200 more buys without any new max and here I get it on another site bitcasino after maybe 100 bonus buys. So globally I’m on plus but I’m scared I have to stop now playing this one cause I will probably not get it a 3rd time soon… but the fact is I really like this no limite slot. This one and san quentin are my favorite

Oh I see, your one of them Bonus Buyers I hear about, am UK so no joy in that respect.

Both San Quentin and Mental are quite similar in tempo and feel I think. I'm a fan of NLC's older stuff but like Mental.

Not sure I would pay the Bonus Buy prices on those two myself, but as long as your enjoying yourself, who cares.

 

[jerome26b]

That was my first one (not completely max)

Yes i’m not so in favor of these bonus buys myself I lost too much in these pragmatic scams ;-). But as I get some good wins lately and in a rush I took my chance and it worked. I don’t know at which occurrence we can get a mental bonus just by spinning it can take a full day. Anyway I saw one video of a guy and he get the max win in the base game so it’s possible too.

 

[perunamies]

I have zero problems with the theme. I played this slot for the first time yesterday and to be honest, I still have no idea about how it works. In the first few spins I got some weird hit over over 100x bet. It didn't really look like a big hit, there wasn't that many of the same symbols on screen. Maybe I'm just too stupid to get it, but after a few hundred spins I though it was just a bit boring to be honest.
