New Slot Announcement Michael Jackson King of Pop - Bally/SG

Reminds me a bit of guns and roses slot (which I never win on!)
 
Well looking at the land-based version, this is a direct copy of that which is a good thing. Goes to show that licensing issues aside it is more than possible to get exact conversions of 'proper' slots online.

Surely a good thing for others to follow. I mean look at the disparity between game of Thrones slots as an example. Reminds me of having a Commodore 64 and buying a new game based on a popular arcade title. They'd always show the arcade screenshots on the box but when loading it up......

it wasn't 'quite' the same :(
 
Great review, Dunover. Yes, I agree with your opinions about Michael Jackson. Sadly, he was a victim of his circumstances from his birth all the way to his "murder". However, many of his siblings seem to have led normal lives. Those two sisters of his, they're screwed up but nowhere like Michael was.
 
I find it a bit flaky and laggy, don't really like the game at all tbh, like most of what comes out of SG/WMS/Bally these days. All "mobile optimised", not a patch on the WMS classics for gameplay or slickness.
 
Mmmm...



I see some dude was trying to be funny in his comments on your video m8.
Ah well,screw him.
Always shows what "heroes" some people are safely behind their keyboards at home.

Enjoyed your review as usual.

Don't think the slot even comes closes to the real version of this slot when it comes to player experience.
Probably won't spend a lot of real cash on this one.

It's a decent attempt. We have the real version at both locals and it's a lot more flashier. You're paying for a show as well as a game.

Seems like the game has been removed from Casumo. There might have been some issues with it. The game constantly crashed when Nick was streaming it.

They took this down at Casumo about 7 hours ago to fix a problem with it. I had just hit the bonus round and it kicked me out lol.

Waiting for it to come back up to see if I beat my 4 x bet on the last bonus round.
 
Full of bugs.

Twice i've hit a feature on this then had the game crash out.

First time it was on mobile and i managed to complete the bonus by going onto a computer session.

This time, its doing absolutely nothing.

This isn't ready to be released, it needs more testing and debugging.
 
Just to add. Make that three times.

This is on multiple devices, operating systems and browsers.

Android 6.0.1/Chrome 50
Mint Linux/Firefox 33
Windows 10/Chrome 50

Luckily support were able to play out my last bonus for me. Going to have to get them to do it again and then won't be playing this again.

Infuriating.
 
The most unbelievable thing about this slot is the jackpot scatter payouts.

2500 x for 5!!!!!! Same as DOA!

£1000 on minimum bet.

The locals in my city have this game tied to Wide Area Progressives. Get all 5 with a max bet and you will win $80,000 or a million depending on which casino you're at. However, the casino that offers a million has changed the slot to Titanic.
 
I didn't find this slot to be fun at all .. ONLINE. I love this slot at our local casino, but the RTP in fact seemed LOWER online .. Perhaps it was just bad luck but eh. Also some of the graphical changes I didn't really like, as well as the fact the chill background music (with no vocals!) of the original slot was changed in this one to one with singing.

Best (worst) part is I got the Beat It bonus finally with a tons of sticky wilds right from the start.. Never had the luxury of this at our local casino .. I had 9 wilds by the end of the bonus, yet I only won 50x bet. That's disgustingly bad.
 
Okay I'm gonna call it .. this slot is rigged. It's RTP (or something) is clearly lesser than in it's live version counterpart. Whenever you'd get 2 bonus on reels 2 and 3 on the live version, you'd most likely get the third symbol as well. I've played a lot so it's not just coincidence or some tin foil theory. Here .. not quite. It keeps giving you two symbols just to tease you, but the third symbol is really hard to get. But what really pisses me off that out of all the bonuses I've got, not even once have I actually got the real bonus within the wheel, just a coin win. And not even the multiplier wheel, just a regular coin win. I've got countless bonuses on the real version as well, and most of these are multiplier wheels or the free spins bonuses ..

I really wanted to like it but since it's such a money drain it's flat out impossible. 100xbet balance nets you five to ten minutes of gameplay time - if lucky, in which you'll probably get one bonus - if lucky, which will most definitely reward you with one of the lowest coin wins. :mad:

*The beat it bonus I described above was with play money when I was just testing out how it plays out .. Clearly pays better in play money mode <.<
 
Played it a few times, but just can't stick to it very long. I enjoy the Guns n' Roses slot a lot more. Could also have to do with my taste in music though.
