For me it's been a dry well for some time ,give Katmandu a few spins , hit and run on poker pursuit , mega spin 5x is a nine ,six or four at a time multi slot game at .10 cents pays good ,

It's crap - play Treasure Ireland instead

There's one in Pat's bar over at 32Red - paid out a shed load the other week, but been tight as a duck's arse since - you might have more luck with it than with Avalon

There have been reports of over 1000 spins with no bonus round on Avalon, and I have seen 600+ spins myself with no bonus round on Munchkins, which is supposed to offer them roughly every 60 spins.

I really don't think that was necessary to post this knowing the OP has lost money playing this slot I know you didn't mean to but he needed advice not throw this at them. Its just my opinion..

The chance of getting free-spins on Munchkins is once in every 93.87 spins.

I don't know what it is on Avalon, but I would guess it's in the 140 to 160 range.

I think you will find if you lower your stake on your next deposit you will do much better. Just a hunch.

The first time I ever played Avalon I hit 5 Wilds but it has a been a beast ever since.
Good luck.

 

[aceking123]

hi rusty , yer you have a valid point maybe worth giving it a try ,though problem is ive done this once before & yes in a way your spot on with what you was saying only hitch is .... when you do hit some features & wins the stakes are low so you have little chance of getting bk 80% of your losses , so thats why i was asking advice to see wether its just a shite machine (lol) but as a few have pointed out it has paid over last month so maybe a nice little break is in order from thy avalon machine .maybe bash another one instead .many thx

 

[same_old]

Yeah that slot has done me well over many times but the last few times ive played it-it has well and truly eaten my money.

what Rusty said was correct, leave it alone for a bit then go back and start at $1 spins and increase after every 50 spins or so...

 

[zebedy]

when avalon first came out there were winning screenshots aplenty, but its rare to see one now, maybe MG has changed something

After today I have decided I am never palying at any microgaming casino ever again. I have only been playing online for 4-5 months & only at microgaming casinos, when I first started I would play for hours on a $50-$100 deposit & sometimes make a withdrawal. The last couple of weeks it has been practically impossible to play for more than an hour, the games are not paying at all, if your lucky you probally get three 9's or 10's that pay 20 credits on a 250 credit spin, the free games are practically impossible to get & when you do get them they pay nothing! I spent close to $300 today & it didn't even last me an hour & I was playing at 1 cent. 2 weeks ago I would be playing for hours. My eldest would laugh at me cos on my days off she would get up for work & I would be still at the computer playing from the night before. I am going for a change of games but not really sure with what yet

 

[aceking123]

hi ,yer they do seem to be bad atm ,wether its just me , but i will say that i had another go on the slot called luckyday & made a note of whenever you got the man or lady on the first reel for the bonus it would go into stutter affect on the final 5th reel almost as it was trying to find something , but regardless to say 200+ spins & yes youve guessed it still no feature , not sure wether thats a bug or vista , but i have a spanking new pc less than 1month old ,which runs like dream ,so maybe its mg.

How I agree with you about the stuttering affect, it has been happening alot lately. I thought it was my computer as well or even something wrong with the speed of my broadband but today I played on my daughters laptop with different server broadband & it did exactly the same thing, also I don't know how many times today I saw something I needed almost come down then shoot back up again (hope you know what I mean cos I have no idea how to explain it, lol.

 

[aceking123]

hi cassa , yes i know what your saying does the same thing to me aswell ,so it would seem that it is mg casinos ,im not moaning about winning ,just pointing out on how bad they seem to be atm ,though there are signs of people winning ,not sure wether anyone else has noticed these slow ups , but it must be going on everywhere.

I have noticed serious degradation in performance of the AWP games since the June upgrade. They play MUCH "stickier", as though the software is wading through treacle during processing.

Last night, I confirmed this. I ran my performance monitor, and on the usual video slots, I was barely using 30% of my processor. I switched to Treasure Ireland, it played "sticky", but more interestingly my processor kept shooting up to almost 90% utilized, and barely made it back under 60% utilized. The "jerks" in the game took place during surges to 90% processor utilisation.

Question MGS - WTF takes 90% of my DUAL CORE processor just to play a movie of the high low number & the move around the board

MGS seem to have made a SERIOUS software screw-up, but whilst many have seen an effect in most of the games, it is with the AWP games that the detrimental effect of the upgrade is "bleedin' obvious".

The reel data is below, which can be used to determine the rate of bonus rounds or the chance of 5 wilds. At first glance, it looks like the reels have 34 symbols and 1 scatter per reel, which would make the chance of 3+ scatters is 1 in 167.

1st set:
<Reel symbols="0,7,5,10,2,9,7,5,10,2,9,11,8,4,10,8,7,5,10,2,9,1,6,4,3,6,1,8,4,6,1,8,3,9" />
<Reel symbols="0,6,9,4,1,8,5,7,2,10,3,9,4,1,10,5,11,10,3,7,6,2,10,6,8,5,9,4,1,8,7,3,9,2" />
<Reel symbols="0,10,5,9,2,8,1,3,10,5,9,11,4,6,8,1,3,10,4,7,6,2,9,7,8,3,6,8,2,10,5,9,7,4" />
<Reel symbols="0,9,8,4,6,5,7,2,1,7,9,8,4,6,5,10,3,9,8,4,7,11,6,10,3,6,10,2,9,10,1,8,5,7" />
<Reel symbols="0,10,8,5,6,11,7,9,3,6,7,9,3,1,10,8,5,1,4,2,9,8,2,4,10,8,5,9,10,1,9,10,2,7" />

2nd set:
<Reel symbols="0,7,10,5,9,7,8,11,4,10,12,6,10,5,8,2,9,7,8,4,6,3,9,7,8,2,10,6" />
<Reel symbols="0,6,9,4,6,9,4,6,9,4,8,7,10,2,3,10,5,11,10,7,8,12,3,8,9,5,8,7" />

I don't know of any other MG slot with the same number of symbols on each reel!

What is the second reel set - the free-spin reels?

I agree with your maths - chances of feature = 1 in 166.88 - so I was a little bit out with my guess.

MGS seem to have made a SERIOUS software screw-up, but whilst many have seen an effect in most of the games, it is with the AWP games that the detrimental effect of the upgrade is "bleedin' obvious".

I would love to know the answer to this too.
It is nothing to do with graphics obviously.
In fact I have a dual core processor running at 3.0Ghz and Graphics card that can run the most recent pc games with full graphic detail and effects at high resolutions.
These games use Hundreds of times more processing power than these basic 2D games. It is laughable.

So as you say the question is, what background process is taking up so much processing power it causes the game to jerk and stall?

Better still a question MGS have never answered (I wonder why) is why is there a delay before a spin after you have changed the stakes?
I think this is pretty obvious if you play high stakes for a while without winning then drop your stake to the minimum and see what happens.

Anyway getting side tracked from the OP's post so on the subject of trying lower stakes I appreciate that it intuitively feels less likely to win your money back but I am not certain that is the case.
Anyway there are a few benefits to dropping your stake.

Firstly even if your poor run continues you will get more playtime and perhaps deposit/lose less.
Secondly if it appears your luck has changed you can always up your stake to your original levels and you will have more playtime and more chance to hit at these stakes.
Thirdly even if your poor run continues for a while you will have the option to increase your stake when you are "due" to hit.

I think KK recommends starting at lower stakes and slowly increasing your bet if you have not hit a feature which works for him. I think an extra factor here is of course the size of your bankroll.
Personally I would be cautious with this approach as it is basically a strategy of chasing loses or throwing good money after bad as my Grandpa used to say, God rest his soul but whatever works is good.

After playing at MG casinos for many years, I now believe that your experience is very much the norm these days. I've said this before, but there was a time when it was rare for any MG slot to go over 350 spins without a feature- sadly this, as I said, is very much the norm now. In fact, it's the reason I've, apart from the very occasional small deposit, stopped playing at MG casinos altogether (I don't play any where else actually)...

Too many times recently I went 5, 6, 7, 8 and even 900 + spins without a free spin feature. All my usual favourites, of which Avalon was one, started doing this and it stopped being fun. If you're going to go back to the slot, I'd go with what's been said already...try lowering your stake....A couple of trends I've noticed when you go many hundreds of spins without a feature is that when you do finally hit one, the payout is terrible. You might hit another one quite quick but then it can go another huge amount of spins before you get it again.

Good luck, and I hope you hit big

The reels are direct cut & paste from what the flash casino sends. I didn't confirm and line up the symbols, but I'd guess the second is the free spin reels. Note that MG usually makes symbol 0 wild, the highest number scatter, and orders the other numbers from high to low value.
