My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

[dunover]

Looks like this format is the way to go, I'd've said.

So for the next video games piece I expect a side-by-side breakdown of Ms Pacman vs God of War 4

Just a brief window of optimism today, when I saw the new SLOTTING video on this SLOTS forum and we glimpsed some SLOTS chat and now I've been cruelly shot down by the World Of Gaycraft brigade again.....

And anyway, this is Chopley's thread you git

 

[Balthazar]

This video contains extra info about Videoslots wagering that some people might not be aware of

What was the WR on the 200% bonus again? I'm trying to figure out if it's better mathematically to play a 93% RTP slot and release the bonus quickly or play a 98% slot. Because the difference in the number of spins required is huge between a slot that contributes 175% vs 50%.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I really enjoyed this video Chopley.
Anyway keep em coming.
Love your vids mate.

Mark.

Cheers Mark really appreciate the comments, I do put quite a bit of effort into the videos and dissecting the T&Cs at VS to get that section correct took a little chunk of time so it's nice to know folks are getting something out of it

Videoslots' RTP/wagering contribution is highly flawed as it doesn't take into account the base game RTP allocated minus feature RTP. It's likely they don't know this for most slots, but as you infer a 94% slot which has say 75%+ allocated to the base game RTP (see the Cayetano games for example) is a far better wagering proposition than a 97% game with say 65% allocated to base game RTP.

I am very surprised you chose Hitman for a wagering attempt!! It's very volatile and can go on notorious runs of thousands of spins without seeing even a 50x feature or win. It's the last game I'd have chosen - brave man!

It wouldn't have my first choice on a traditional match bonus but I was fairly sanguine about busting out as it's a post-wager bonus, was hoping it would have played better than it did though!

And yes I'm sure there's a clever way to play VS bonuses with a bit more info on pay distribution.

20xB so £4000 on 96% slots (which contribute 100% to wagering), but with a 94% RTP slot contributing 150% you do have to wonder if that'd be a better bet. I can only assume VS have crunched the numbers but as dunover indicated above, an LV slot with a lot of RTP in the base game would mathematically be more advantageous for the player. (I think that's the case, anyway.)

It also makes playing slots with high RTPs very unappealing when on a bonus. There were some slots (such as Supernova) that I was actively avoiding as they'd have only been contributing 50% (or less!) to the wagering.

(I think that's the case, anyway.)

So the smartest approach to beat that bonus would be big bets on a low RTP slot, preferably one with no bonus round at all (a "traditional" 3-line slot would be perfect). The bigger the bets, the fewer spins you need and the less you should feel the lower RTP (in theory).

It also makes playing slots with high RTPs very unappealing when on a bonus.

I think this bonus is great when you're not trying to beat it. Just play normally like you would without a bonus and you get some extra cash added to your account from time to time. That's the spirit of this bonus IMO.

Thats what I do - I just spin at reasonable bets and enjoy
usually the next day i ask chat if i cleared wr and cash out - i dont ever bother checking along the way

Yeah I think that's what I'll do in future should a bonus appear in my account, although there is the psychological element of playing a slot like Supernova and knowing that each spin is only contributing 50% to the wagering.

I guess VR are extrapolating the bonus wagering contributions across thousands of players and millions of spins, so for them it'll all work out correctly in the end, but for an individual player who's only going to be doing a few hundred spins or a couple of thousand perhaps, on any given slot, T-RTP is unlikely to really make itself felt so I still think lower RTP LV slots would be a better way to play if purely trying to unlock the full bonus.

A fruit machine emulation video this week, so neither online slots or videogames, I'm afraid!

(On the plus side, making this video didn't cost me £200.......)

 

[Jono777]

Bloody Hell JPM's Fireball, that brings back memories.

The main one been having to hold my jeans by the waist band on a good day, geez that thing could pump out the tokens when hot!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Remember all this fruit machine emulation stuff is available completely free of charge from the various fruit machine emulation sites.

If anyone wants a copy of the complete collection just drop me a PM and I'll give you my address to send a USB key to, I'll copy the collection to the key and send it back to you.

There are hundreds of machines emulated going all the way back to the early 80s, right up to around 2014/2015.

Obviously you can't win any money but the machines are often entertaining GAMES in their own right.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Another reupload from 2012, but for anyone who still misses Jackpot Party it might make for a nice little bit of nostalgia.

dunover will love this as it has trance all the way through it, except during the Jackpot Party Progressive round.

I want your wanktastic 20-spin Bruce Lee one back again!!!!

That's been on the channel for ages

Skip to 1h:13m:50s for the start of the 20 free spins round.

Jackpot Party - Still a very amazing an fun slot to play.

The slot called 'Super Jackpot Party' itself you mean? It's a nice little slot to play but one of the lowest variance slots ever, I only ever used it for dependable wagering.

Ah yes, I was thinking the same when I posted the reply hahaha.
I still do play it in some of my sessions.
Very enjoyable and indeed very low variance indeed.

Loved your Bruce Lee win by the way.
Did not see that video before.
I play this slot too but not very often as it is just mega high variance and indeed to have the 2 features hit together must be insanely hard.
Never happened to me but I think it is like the hot mode in Terminator II for example..Super duper rare..
Had the Hot Mode on TII twice tho, once on my first set of free spins on Leo Vegas,€1.50 bet.

Oh good.....I've been waiting for you to re-upload that 20 spin bonus round on Bruce Lee for quite a while Choppers. It seems I too was blissfully unaware it was already there.

I remember watching that vid when I was still quite the online slots and CM rookie and I thought "now THAT's a fucking bonus round!"

Going to enjoy an evening of catching up on your recent vids. Keep them coming, they are awesome.

Can't we all just get along?

We have politics, sports and other miscellaneous goodness on CM too incase you hadn't noticed dearie!

And anyway, this is Chopley's thread you git

Quite right mate, I don't know who this Mr. D thinks he is. Anyone would think that Choppers had spent 4 years away from this forum and he has heroically returned to re-claim his CM ORIGINAL AND BEST crown. And old grumpy bollocks doesn't like it one bit.
One could be forgiven for thinking that Mr. D is viewing Choppers long-overdue return to CM with the same chagrin that King John had when Richard the Lionheart returned to Ing-er-land after the Crusades.

Mr. D, accept yourself for what we know you are, a mere copycat who (admirably tried and succeeded) to fill the void that Chopley left 4 years ago.

But now that Choppers is back, you need to step aside bro. Just like King John did.

TBH I don't think it's that high variance, it's certainly nothing like the nonsensical slots that are being shunted out today by some providers.

The 20 free spins round is mega-rare for sure, but I don't think it accounts for much of the RTP and it was always possible to have a decent session on the slot without getting it.

Also, WMS were very good at having generous numbers of feature hits in the 100-250x range, probably because they didn't have 5000x and more hits to pay for.

I note it's still around (VS have it on their books) but the autoplay feature seems to have been removed for some reason which basically makes it unplayable

Cheers mcgameboy Have a look back through the channel's older videos if you're minded to, as there are already quite a lot of reuploads from 2012-2014. (The new channel has been running since December 2017.)

That hit on Bruce Lee is kind of what I'm getting at when I say I don't see any point in slots having RTP chewed up by these 5000-8000x stake wins, 1689x doesn't even sound 'that big' by modern standards, but in reality most folks would be delighted to hit something like that even now.

Yes I'll get round to more videogame content at some point! Can't promise on timescales, but it will happen

 

[ChopleyIOM]

A reupload from 2012 where my videos came with bouncy text and loud trance - all at no extra charge!

I do miss playing at 3Dice, their slots did medium-high variance right IMO, with some genuinely imaginative features and slot design. (And a proper 3D graphics engine!)

Also features bonus heckling from Degsy Jnr at 14m02s.

Had a bit of free time today so got this done

 

[goatwack]

I too have never played a round of Golf in my life, if I were to attempt a swing I'd look like a drunk fencer.

But golf games make for terrific fun, I concur. Multiplayer 'Links Golf' evokes teary-eyed nostalgia already

My favourite is still Neo Turf Masters on the NeoGeo though, a glorious bastard of a game

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Ahhh yes I'm a big fan of Neo Turf Masters and many other of the great arcade golfing titans - Golfing Greats, Major Title and so on.

The thing with those games (as splendid as they are) is that they're arcade games and are ultimately designed to take cash off you to proceed through the courses (often requiring birdies just to survive past a couple of holes), so some of the holes get pretty ridiculous with nonsensical wind speeds and suchlike. (Although I have got it in my head I was able to 1-credit Neo Turf Masters in one of my younger, more sexy guises.)

TBH I think they're almost two different genres, the 'arcade' golf game, and the 'home' golf game, with Everybody's Golf clearly being a 'home' golf game. That said, totally agree there are some real classics in the 'arcade' family as well. (And that's one of the reasons why I always keep MAME around!)

 

[goatwack]

MAME is life

As are NeoRage and Dolphin
