New Slot Announcement Monopoly Megaways from Big Time Gaming!

[greylady]

Well the lower RTP Novomatics have provided me with the most 500x + wins of all providers.
Agree, the base game of all Novomatics is relentless unless you hit a 5OAK of a top tier symbol but I have had so much super wins on Book of Ra, Lucky Lady Charm, Captain Venture, Dolphins Pearl, Rumpel Wildspins and many more.

Also the frequency of free spins is much better i.m.h.o.

I can play a Blueprint and be left without a bonus game in sight after 1000-1500 spins, I never ever had that with Novomatic...

But I respect your opinion m8, this is just my personal thought and opinion.

I have gone well beyond 1000-1500 spins on Novo's without a feature All the games you mention have given me zilch this year.

 

[goatwack]

Novomatic, I'm sorry, they just flat-out don't hold a candle to premium suppliers.

It's like how does one want their balance to meet its demise. One could play Novos and be digested alive in the pit of a golden tree snake whilst simultaneously dying of boredom, or play BTG at least, and 'bow out' by jumping out of a plane chute-less into a field of grenades.

You takes your picks

 

[CongoGB]

Determined to get the bonus on this before I bin it permanently. 969 spins at 20p so far at 63% RTP and no bonus yet.

Maybe a bonus by Christmas!

 

[CongoGB]

Oh, and biggest win so far - £3.28!

I'm only chucking a fiver at a time before building back up on other slots, so I'm not going at it constantly!

 

[Mr_Slot5]

Agree. Novo has ripped me a new one on many occasion. Once went 1000 spins on Ra with not a bonus in sight. Absolutely brutal.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Novomatic, Merkur, Amatic, EGT, BTG, Blueprint are all high variance. BTG and Blueprint just happen to make them look better but they're all equally brutal when they don't want to pay.

Would be nice if there was some provider that was a bit less volatile compared to the ones you listed.
Maybe a slot with a Western theme or something..
And they could make the basegame decent, and have a bonus with really big potential, maybe something to do with wilds.
I would call it "deceased or living"

Ah, one can dream.

Surely we can't be thinking about the same western themed slot, because the one i'm thinking about is brutal in the base game.

Compared to most Novos i think Doa is pretty kind in the basegame. =)

Starting balance £30. Bonus triggered after 380 spins, with a loss of £13.36.
Won £24.45 - 122x
But even though that put me £11.09 in profit. I doubt I'll bother playing it again. It's so tedious, and feels so 'scripted'

Yeah, that's the worst thing about it. It feels as though you're playing a game in a game, one that takes 400 spins to complete, with the outcome already decided from the outset.

Yes, DoA isn't bad. But DoA 2 is brutal.

 

[muziq]

brutal is an understatement yesterday 100 euros disappear quickly at .18 bets with 2 nothing bonus

but 2 days ago i got a monster X11855 bet (ss in hyper wins screen shot )and another X 2500 bet without even hitting extra spins so cant complain over all im yet to make 3k spins on DOA2

bcs of its sheer brutality afraid to make bets above .18 , wish if it allowed .27 bet though

 

[steveh35]

Is this one of the BTG shareholders & Mr Monopoly laughing at how much money they are making from the suckers like us playing this game

Oh look Mr Monopoly there's another one depositing to play our game...ker-ching!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Just stop feeding crap like this your money. One real money session this game had out of me, and that's the last penny of funds it'll ever take off me. (TBH, just watching my video on the game should be enough to scare anyone off.)

If BTG can get away with churning out slots that feature ONCE AN HOUR on average, with the horrible 'sunk cost fallacy' of the remaining houses baked in, incentivising the player to keep on playing, then they'll keep on doing on it.

The only way they'll stop and produce something more player-friendly is if garbage like Monopoly Megaways stops making money.

 

[Lemon]

Yeah, that's the worst thing about it. It feels as though you're playing a game in a game, one that takes 400 spins to complete, with the outcome already decided from the outset.

That's a spot-on analogy, I couldn't have put it better myself.

The game feels like they've taken Bonanza and overlaid it with the Monopoly license, but done everything they can to avoid changing the game underneath, which is perfectly understandable given its success. It's like you press start and get a background result from Bonanza which is then delivered visually to the player in the form of a tedious Monopoly game. Every necessary board position is within reach in a single move no matter where you are and it doesn't feel like you're making any progress around the board whatsoever because you can be transported anywhere at any given time. If the 'Bonanza' background spin results in the bonus, and you're 3 spaces away from a street with 4 houses on your third smash, you'll get moved to there. If a 4-house street is 14 spaces away, simply move Uncle Tophat onto a chance or community chest square and boost him around to that position, or give the player an advance to a street with one house on it and magically give them 4 more houses out of thin air. Conversely, if the bonus hasn't been triggered on the background spin you can send the old man onto one of many squares that won't result in 5 houses, with often infuriating results, especially when you've had 3 or 4 cascades in a row.

The only genuine feeling of progression is from collecting the stations and utilities as these purport to give you a better start, but if you trigger a quick bonus without any of this, you'll just be landed on the necessary squares on the board during the bonus to make up this shortfall, as all positions are reachable from anywhere at any time. You've got no control over how many squares Uncle Fathead moves; it all depends on what the game needs to give you at that precise moment. Therefore all the houses and cards you collect in the base game don't really count for shit, other than to create the illusion that you've built up loads of stuff and need to keep playing. If you've been given a bonus where you'll get 14 spins in total and reach a x8 multiplier, that's what you'll end up being given, in a rather contrived fashion.

You have to applaud BTG for the way they've tried to use the Monopoly game mechanic of collecting stuff as a player-retention technique but the problem for me is that it quickly feels like the stuff you're collecting has no real value whatsoever. You've got no control of whether you'll land on your house-squares in the feature to 'benefit' from the fact you've earned them over the preceding several hundred spins, and the inevitable disappointing result from the first bonus you get, coupled with the sobering realization that you've dumped money into building up items from which you now feel obligated to continue playing in order to benefit, leaves me with the feeling of being ripped off.

Given the fact that you usually need to set aside an hour of your day to play this slot (or Bonanza) for a bonus, coupled with the feelings you'll likely experience after having had one, I think I'd rather be squashed by a giant iron, or run-over by a solid metal car with wheels that don't move, than play this shit again.

 

[CongoGB]

Finally got that bonus after 1287 spins.

£3.88

Pretty much sums this game up, and won't be getting another penny from me!

 

[steveh35]

20 effing spins 14 bloody x and £26 quid. go do one BTG

Is there any chance of you doing a review of Raging Raindeer please? It seems to be mega volatile and I wonder what % comes from the free spins? I have seen mant deposits simply drain away in not time on that slot and I have only had one bonus in thousands of spins.

 

[snorky510238]

It did cross my mind that any Xmas themed slot could just be there for the quick buck for Casinos and providers.

The reason being is if you need millions of spins to achieve rtp, these games are only seasonal giving the perfect excuse to pay shockingly as they will not get the required spins played through to judge against. I have played a few in previous years and never had a decent win, they always seem to be pretty dead.

Exactly my thoughts every time I see a casino promoting "themed" slots, usually they give a couple of free spins to go with the promotion to reel you in too

 

[Kroffe]

I dont play alot of christmas slots (some microgaming, flowers, SOC, etc)
But i cant say i have noticed any difference from their non-christmasy versions.

You mean they're equally bad?

 

[Kroffe]

You mean they're equally bad?

Eh, i rate most of them as "funslots".
Some of the microgaming ones can give out big wins once in a blue moon, but mostly i just play them for funsies.
Flowers can also pay big, or so ive heard.

 

[goatwack]

Well, I'm trying it out now with some leftover funds

My take on it is that it's pretty good, provided one doesn't want to win money playing it

Also had a couple of Max Megaways cards yield 0, but overall there's a lot of potential to be had

And why doesn't 'Go To Jail' wipe out one's balance?? Anyway, off to play some more.

VROOM

 

[goatwack]

Ok so having played it at length I now feel I can give a much better critique of it

My favourite part by far is how the game keeps that potential brimming on the surface throughout

Having mortgaged my actual house just to attain some in-game houses, I soon found out how the game keeps that potential tantalizingly out of reach, but only until one's balance runs out!

I think that's very clever design & maths, I think in all fairness this is my GOTY 2019- 2033, and will therefore award it 12 hats out of 10 for brilliance

Well done BTG, you nailed it!*

 

[lewisnadasurf]

First bonus with real money. I played this a lot on BGTs website and it is so boring. With real money it’s also boring. The cascading constantly stops before you get to 1 extra house, the max megaways barely pays.
Literally I won’t play this again. I know the bonus paid me well but god it was so boring.

Nice but considering the amount of spins it didn’t really pay well and also costs a lot to get to the bonus doesn’t it. I think this is one of BTGs crappiest releases

 

[EkJR]

Free played to death on 80p stake. Lost my 1k foreplay balance.

Got 7 bonuses as below.

16 spins - 36X
20 spins - 14X
14 Spins - 123X
10 Spins - 9X
20 Spins - 54X
16 Spins - 6X yes 6X!!

Took forever to get each of them, all in about 4 hours play. Can only imagine the real play frustration.

 

[goatwack]

We all like HV hijinks and we all (mostly) love Monopoly, as well as turning a blind eye to BTG's dubious game designs. But paint me naked and call me Gregg if they're not ripping the absolute p*ss with this release

For starters, where oh where is it acceptable from a RG standpoint to allow players to 'invest' so much money and time on a game that makes Ponzi schemes seem like a trustworthy investment?

No doubt the UKGC & co will continue their path of annoying players with inane bullshit while companies like BTG pull a fast one with morally-bankrupt tripe like this.

Industry peeps and streamers will be falling over themselves and gushing over this game's ingenious design, and no doubt we'll see those potential wins blossom into fully-realized 5000x wonderhits, just not for the average player. This game is legalized theft and it's sad that the industry has fallen this low really. This game's going to get A LOT of punters into financial trouble.

And objectively-speaking, from a pure design POV, sure the graphics look crisp, but then Monopoly isn't what I'd deem 'aesthetically-challenging'

Audio is downright laughable but not in a ha-ha endearing kind of way, but rather ha-ha how have these gimps managed to botch up his voice so badly with such awful speech

And the tiles. The f*cking tiles. I bet I could play any other Monopoly slot and landing on different things would make certain things 'occur'. Here, BTG use the board for eye candy, completely wasting the chance to implement some great bonus features

But as we know, BTG don't do that. They're too stuck in their formula to be innovative, basically remove the Monopoly skin and you have a very dull, but oh-so-BTG template

And yes, I couldn't believe it when they kept the 'Unlimited Multiplier' in the opening screen. Are these guys punking us or what

totally agree. Took me well over 4/500 spins.

With those winnings I’ve “invested” Lil Devil 60p spins. Got up to about 28 hearts. Gotta wait til next month now as deposit limits lol. Let the disappointment begin!

I am always terrified that the casino will withdraw the slot I've saved stuff on. all the effort and pennies that goes into collecting the hearts or the houses on monopoly only to leave it a week and it vanishes.... gives me nightmares lol

Or "reset" it because of an error/upgrade... Been there done that with MG stuff a while ago. And no it wasn't because of the HTML5 upgrades, it was very random.

 

[goatwack]

It's a shame really as all them houses will be left to rot in my session, never to see the light of day again

Squatters can have 'em

Had this as well. Happened on Immortal Romance, Thunderstruck 2 and Finer Reels of Life. Had them all top level with everything open. Then a week later all reset, never got a proper answer to it either.

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Played this for the first time myself.

Even tho I’ve seen videos and reviews of it etc etc I thought I’d give it a few hundred spins.

Here are the highlights from my 300 spins.

I got one house.
I got the gimmick spin 3 times. None producing a win bigger than 5x
My biggest win was 12x

That is all.

Jokes on them, the game turns to crap once you have unlocked the wilds.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

If we could all go back to page 1 and read the opening line from Dazwold!!

And he wonders why people think he’s on the BTG payroll!!

As he ever said he doesn’t like a BTG release?

 

[Kroffe]

Ah, went back for some of that sweet potential.
Also it felt like such a shame having collected all those houses just for them to collect dust.

Had all train-stations and both facilities, trigger gave two extra spins aswell.
3 retriggers during the bonus.
I really felt like this is it, its happening, its freaking happening!!
And then it did.. 12 "normal" deadspins, 3 dead megaways-spins, and the rest of em scraped together a total win of 100x wich is what it cost to get into the bonus in the first place.

On the plusside, the bonus ate alot of houses, so now i have no reason to ever play it again. =)
Kind of wish it would have done something when it had 100 spins to do it, but whatever.

 

[goatwack]

Yes, this game positively encourages players to pay for their own bonuses, minus the guarantee it will return what you ever put in!

So one would hope to need the board littered with two or three houses on each property, plus the Utility companies etc AND somehow hope not to have any dead spins during the bonus!

Talk about putting all one's eggs in one basket. Only for the basket to crush them, and it going everywhere.

It's no yoke

 

[thr0b]

The thing is though, you can still get a bonus equivalent to Bonanza with just as few spins. Just Bonanza makes it feel random, whereas Monopoly does trick you a little into thinking it’s ready to trigger. Strictly, you could get a bonus within one spin if it triggers just right.

 

[EkJR]

Ok, here is why nobody should ever play this game. 1864 spins, down 490. Eventually get full bonus, houses everywhere and it does this. Although this was "fun" mode, you can see where it kills you. Over an hour as well!
