Question MG slot - Bust the Bank

[lotusch]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering what your thoughts on this slot are.
And is it a very high variant slot?
Obviously it is one of the (in)famous 243 liners so I reckon it will be high variant.

Reason I am asking is a never played the slot alot as it has a minimum €1.50 stake which isn't good on smaller bankrolls and I like to play €0.60/€0.90 stakes on the 243 liners like IR , TFROL , TSII ....

But yesterday I was doing ok and managed to get my bankroll up playing TFROL and Girls with Guns and decided to give Bust the Bank a good spin.
Seriously,I wish I never did because it was eating my bankroll like mad and before I knew it about €300.00 was gone without a single trigger of the freespins or a decent win.
Deposited another few times and slot gave me a few 5OAK of the higher symbols but also managed to eat that away again without any freespins triggered.

Finally I got them on a €1.50 spin and that was after staking at least 1000+ Euro's on spins and it paid me a "WHOPPING" €28.50 back.
I was really annoyed and decided to finish up my last credits on this terrible machine.

Just wondering,was it just bad luck with freespins or do they really trigger that seldom?
It kept teasing me with 2 scatters loads and loads of times.

Might give it another go today to see if it will go back to normal RTP as it will be very low now on that machine as I didn't cash out a penny.

Thanks for your thoughts guys!

Mark.

EDIT: Anyone ever won large on this piece of machinery?

The minimum stake at that slot is 0,30. The 1,50 is with the coin size 0,05. you can change the coin size to 0,01 if you want to

I Myself quite like the slot. The freespins can pay quite alot when the slot is in the mood. sure there are crappy ones in there too but to my experience the ratio between good and bad paying free rounds is quite good

Hi Lotusch,

I did not play this game a whole lot myself, but thought I'd reply to point out something on your stake amount.

The £1.50 minimum may be set by the casino you are playing at. If you check some others you will find you can play that game for 30p a spin. If you play at more than one site it might be worth comparing. Just a thought. Hope you hit the big payday soon.

Yes i have played this slot, but first off there is supposed to be a 0.1 coinsize, and betting one coin per line would be 0.30, i have played it on 32Red and some of the sisters...

And i do like the slot, since it is somewhat different in terms of "infamous" 243 liners

I do like the random Piggy Smash feature and the other one where the thief runs and drops a sack of cash, then there is the drop down insta-win feature, and all three are nice, don't take up too much time, and are guaranteed to win you at least something which can't be said about the "infamous" ones

Especially the Piggy Smash has earned me some decent wins some a fat x 100 bet or a bit more iirc, and i have had a Piggy Smash "streak" a few times, where they landed maybe 5 times within 50 spins.

Also if you do hit any 5OAK in the freespins, which can indeed be hard to get, you'll get a decent win, the top 3 symbols will earn you a huge payday of at least 300 x bet, i posted a screenie of it too somewhere, where i got 450,- for a 0.90 ct bet.

So yes i like this slot a lot and it definitely has potential.
My slot summary would be:
High end of medium variance, good features, smooth gameplay.

We had a player win 130k yesterday on this slot, so yeah this piece of machinery pays for sure.. Granted, the player was betting very high limits!

I'll post the screeny as soon as i receive it!

 

[lotusch]

Thanks for all your replies guys,appreciated!!
And I have never thought checking if there was a coin size option on the slot *grinz*
So might have been blind there...
I just tried to adjust the betsize and it went from €1.50 up to €15.00...

But I defo check that,my mistake as I am still pretty new to MG slots/software,only play them since a few months.


Thanks guys,

Mark.

Only in my dreams! ^^

I quite like the game. Piggy Smash runs from 20x to 100x bet. Some bonus rounds are dirt, but if you do grab 5OAK, it's a decent return. The skinny thieves will pay 300x, and the fat ones 450x I think. I had a freeplay bonus round where I got over 600x bet, so you can hit more than once.

£130,000 = €150,000 on one spin?

Ouch!
Jammy sod.

Yeah, that must have hurt

has anyone raised an eyebrow to the name similarity to Break da Bank, Break da Bank Again and now Bust the Bank? Someone needs to give the creative team a poke

I played it for a few days lately and while it *can* be a guzzler it does give some decent returns sporadically. I'd say it's medium volatility as games go.

[lotusch]

Well the only bank being busted is mine sofar hehehe...
Hope to turn it around one day...

Thanks again for all helpfull replies...

@Jasmine,nice win there indeed once you get the 300x or 450x 5OAKS ...

 

[Jasminebed]

At 32Red, $300 bets are possible, the highest I think of any slot. The fat robber during freespins pays $135K.

I checked it there now and there is no coinsize button...
Min. bet is €1.50 and Max. bet is €15.00 so I was at least right about that!

 

[incrediblestuff]

Seems like your playing in the wrong Casinos then
Just switch to number 1 and play it at 0.30 or 0.60 like you usually do, and this will decrease the impact of the variance on your bankroll significantly!

£130,000 = €150,000 on one spin?

Ouch!

To be exact, €136,500 on one spin of of €300

Well if I could afford €300.00 spins I wouldn't be gambling as much I assume as it would mean I was loaded...
And I play mainly to try and win a few extra pound every month on top of my normal wages which most people try to do I think...

300€ a spin ... Oooooffff ...

The game has nice little bonus features. I do like the safe that can come up and drop 1 to 3 times winnings depending on which row it lands on. I play it on Jackpot City and Casino action and with these two I do find when you hit the bonus play for a bit more cause ususually another bonus comes out fast but then after you can get long streches where your balance is drained to nothing. Haven't gotten the theif dropping down from the top but gut the one running across the screen a couple of times. Nice thing about the free spin bonus is that you can earn more free spins when a bomb comes up.

I haven`t had a ton of luck with this one so far. Yesterday I played it a bit. Didn`t hit the free spins but had a few of the bonuses so it wasn`t too bad. I`m looking forward to giving it another go. BTW, I was able to play it at $0.30 if I chose to and that was at Royal Vegas
