Something a bit off the beaten track this week.

I love these tales of Northern grit, the images of impoverished kids with thorn shorts and dirty knees making their own entertainment under the grey skies. Us Southerners don't know we're born...…![]()

Here's an interesting idea, would you consider taking up a BIG bonus if the slot RTP was set lower?
Lets take an example:-
Bruce Lee standard RTP of 96%.
If the casino offered the game to be played at 86% RTP with a 300% bonus, would this tempt you?
You know that the house edge is higher, but would the bonus money give you the sweetener of a lot of extra playtime with the kicking of a 10% drop in RTP.
Would you severely notice the reduced RTP in regular play? I would probably be up trying it at least, mind you the problem with most bonuses is that they -EV

(Although in fairness, that's still slightly ahead of average results, which is 1/42,000 or so with optimal strategy.)Here are my stats from 3Dice since I started playing there again in August.
Over 70,000 game rounds played and an RTP of 101.90%, which isn't too shabby. Thing is, for the 'they're compensated' brigade my results gravitating back down to expected RTP in the future would be seen as evidence of compensation, rather than random numbers doing exactly what we'd expect them to do over time.
As you can see I rather like Enchanted Spins.
Only took 38,000 hands of Video Poker to hit a Royal Flush(Although in fairness, that's still slightly ahead of average results, which is 1/42,000 or so with optimal strategy.)

The game Jory recommended, nay, insisted, that I play - and I'm glad he did!
NOTE - Contains some scenes of explicit violence from the game. (I gathered my own footage for this review.)



I really like 3Dice's games for reasons I've covered extensively on my channel already. They don't scratch every single itch so I do play other softwares at other casinos, but for decent games with a solid RTP and sensible variance, I find they're a good bet.Also posted to the main Jammin' Jars thread, but I like to keep all my videos together in this thread as well.
-----------------
I played Jammin' Jars with a real £200 deposit, so you don't have to. (I also had 3Dice running at the same time, for a total investment of £400 of real cash deposits.)
This ended up turning into a bit of a mega-session over two nights.
Quite a long watch but if you've got the patience for it there some quite nice wins in there.
Featured games.
Jammin 'Jars
Squirrel Pike
Immortal Romance (Big Spins!)
Thunderstruck
Bonanza

Good ass saving bonus round from IR you got there.
Also pretty good Bonanza bonuses.
As for the first half of the video, you really shouldn't play games that you don't enjoy. It defeats the point of playing IMO.
£3 spins is way outside my comfort zone but as I said on the video, it was DEATH OR GLORY time. (That 600x stake win on Squirrel Pike was very welcome too.)As for Bonanza, my rich run on that slot clearly can't continue forever!.......
I have it on good authority that Jory insists you do Dark Souls III next. Failing that, you can opt for Bloodborne instead
Ok, I lied. Jory didn't say that. It was Mack![]()
I would love to break down all your comments but I feel this post is already too long...The next game I would recommend is "Bioshock Trilogy".
Bioshock,
Fallout 4
You're in-depth analyse is really interesting for a hard core gamer like me, even if you play on very very very very easy mode.I would love to break down all your comments but I feel this post is already too long...
Cheers
As I mention in the video I'm just shit at playing with a gamepad, keyboard and mouse is where it's at for me (which is why PC is generally my preferred platform). FPS games I can't play with a pad at all, (when I played through Bioshock on 360, I basically upgraded everything I could in physical attack terms, so that I could run straight at the baddies and kill them with the wrench......), third person games I can blunder through with a pad but that's about it.
I was trying to work out who that singer was and the words being sung
, got a 90's feel to it.

Chopley I drafted a message last week about your jazzy new intro but didn't think it worthy of postingI was trying to work out who that singer was and the words being sung

I wonder how many other people on the isle of man knew how to 'force/trick' machines and whether you came across any on your pub fruity sessions, and also did you have to be extra discreet when playing given the fact the landlord/regulars would soon recognise you and notice you were trying to empty the machines as you can't really be as anonymous on an island![]()

I played the original Bioshock through twice, once on 360 and then on PC, fantastic game. Bioshock 2 I never really got into for some reason. Bioshock Infinite I completed but felt it was quite badly flawed, although the second half was far better than the first half.
Fallout 4 (and similar) - I don't get on with that 'Bethesda Style' of game. Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 - bought and tried them all, never managed to get more than a few hours in.

For comparison, the 2016 DOOM reboot game (which is one of my top ten games ever), I played through three times on PC on increasing difficulty levels, finishing off on NIGHTMARE difficulty (the highest difficulty level), with a 100% completion run, doing all the rune challenges and all optional bits and pieces - but I was in my comfort zone there of using keyboard and mouse![]()
Hey I know it's Chopley's thread but no way are you doing 'Chopley requests'I was the same with Fallout 4, I played 1h 55m then I closed and thought, "I will never play this again".
But I remember I was waiting on a large Neteller withdrawal and I needed something to take my mind of logging in to refresh my balance, so I loaded Fallout 4 again and carried on.
It was only at that moment I understood how in depth the game was. I suddenly "got it" and then I was hooked. I read a lot about people giving up after so many hours so I understand why, the best part of that withdrawal was I played that game because obviously i lost all the money.
Since I recommended you a game, perhaps you can recommend me one? In my current quit gambling mentality I welcome any distraction from that world. So recommend me a game to play and my goal will be to 100% it.

I've been asking him to peruse the Souls series for months and still nothing![]()

My only request will be that he buys a 4k capture device.
As much as I love my ps4 pro, his video highlighted just how poor the capture quality is. It may be 1080p, but when the bitrate is so low, it looks like 480p.
(Although we are still stuck with the PS4 Pro's rather lacklustre video captures, which really are awful compared to the XB1X.)Awp's extinct? have you been in a Wetherspoons, think about 9 in one pub in Leeds alone!
JD Wetherspoon, one of the UK’s largest pub companies, revealed last week that the proportion of its income from machines had halved since 2000 from 6 per cent to 3 per cent, or £48m of £1.6bn revenues. Machine revenue at Wetherspoon has fallen in seven of the past 10 years, while at rival pubco Punch Taverns “machine and other revenue” has fallen 16 per cent in the past five years, from £14.3m to £12m.
A near-clone of Bonanza and a super-high variance Pragmatic Play slot called Peking Luck running together in real money mode - a recipe for sure success!

I don't want the machines more friendly for people with addictions.
Red Dead 2 looks life-consuming and utterly breathtaking to boot. To think of the joy one could have with that for months, years even....for the equivalent of a £40, 20-minute Bonanza death session![]()
I'd like that to be the case, but with triple-AAA games like this they stay at a premium for the best part of a year. Only just seen Monster Hunter World drop in price, the thing just would not cave, and that's close to 11 months after release!Easter Sale no doubt. Pin this comment..
Just like how I fully expect the new God of War to go on sale during Christmas, you can save a lot of money by simply waiting..
Apparently RDR2 has some visual bugs for ps4 pro which are yet to be resolved.
That's another benefit with waiting, it give's them time to iron out the kinks...
