My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

[ChopleyIOM]

This is the last video I made for the previous incarnation of my channel in 2014, but I closed the channel down before uploading it.

As such, whilst this is technically an 'old video', it is the first time it's ever been publicly uploaded so is sort of a 'new video'.

From back in the days when a modest amount of low-rolling could earn £15 in the Videoslots weekly Casino Race!

FEATURED CASINOS - Sky Vegas, Videoslots, 3Dice

FEATURED GAMES:

Rainbow Riches
Zeus III
Bruce Lee
Ninja Fruits
Enchanted Spins
Super Jackpot Party

More old UK fruit machines. Critical Mass I've never, ever seen before.

 

[JGslots]

Funny money was an excellent game, even on a £5 conversion.

Critical Mass was quite popular around these ways, I played several in pubs. It’s not a conventional Red Gaming.

Thanks for the video as always Choppers,

Rob

 

[brianleeporter]

Funny money. What memories.

After watching your video Chopley, one thing strikes me in that if google find something copyrighted in there , you will have no adverts apart from the ones that google/ YouTube have to make money themselves....



This to me is disgusting and I don’t agree in any way how the modern copyright distribution system works.

As a background to this statement, in the 90’s to mid 00’s I was a professional music producer and have seen and been at the receiving end of every excuse for something you have worked hard for being worth nothing ...


I still get statements from the PRS in the uk , and a play on YouTube or Spotify is generally worth 0.0004 pence per play , so to make cash you need to stream millions.


So for them to only put their own advertising on demonetised streama absolutely makes my blood boil .

Fucking parasites disguised as big corporations.

 

[Spikie]

Sorry for a bit of a rant , but hate how content is controlled by a mega corporation , at least in the old days there was a few companies in the arena.

Anyhow ,back on topic , there was something magic in the old machines , it was their simplicity that made them special.

Which has been lacking in modern design.

Less is definitely more.

But also it is very hard to design something simple.

Just adding this here (I've linked it in the main Narcos thread too), to keep all the videos in one place.

 

[Reelsoffun]

When you boil it down tho isnt it still not a million miles away from a traditional game ?

As the walking wild and locked up are part of base game.

Base ( 23 + 24 + 26.1 ) = 73.1%
Free spins 23.1%

Interesting video Chops. I'm not sure I like the "bust potential" vs "winning big" ratio on that one...it appears to be in line with the old NetEnt variance.

The Walking Wilds you could count as part of the base game, but Locked Up I'd definitely split out as a feature, which puts you at a 50/50 split between feature and base game in the RTP.

I think if you match stake to bankroll it's OK TBH, you just need to be prepared for its lumpiness.

A decent result on a compensated UK fruit machine last night

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Opal Fruits plus Beavis & Butthead, real money play.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Opal Fruits Feature Fiasco Frenzy!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

More UK fruit machine stuff (WARNING CRAP AUDIO).

 

[ChopleyIOM]

And an explanation of the crap audio. TL : DR £2000 laptop can't record decent audio.

 

[dunover]

You won't fix it - it will be going back. There is a hardware issue, an uninsulated or badly joined micro wire inside probably on a circuit board. This explains the speaker cutting out and the pick up of electrical resonance. Get rid, you can get the equal or better spec from constructor site. My sympathies, it would pee me off immensely knowing what you went through to set the bastard up. No laptop gives decent microphone quality anyway, I have a Razer Seiren (courtesy of Play'n Go who sent it me from Sweden when hearing the terrible audio when reviewing slots a few years ago). It's a superb piece of kit, ideal for gaming and commentary when stereo-mixed into Bandicam and is has various level controls built in. You'll not need another mic ever again. I reckon you could buy one and get the same spec machine from a specialist gaming laptop maker for your existing spend of 1999.99.

Pretty dissapointing for such an expensive laptop! Love the vids Degsy

 

[mack341]

Surprised by ASUS, normally their stuff is very good. I bet it was lucky Mrs Degsy didn't have a swear tin in operation when this was
all going on

Chop can you do a follow up vid/post on how you get on sorting it out ?

Yes if nothing else this should finally motivate me to get a proper desk standing mic and do away with headsets completely. That Razer Seiren looks like a nice bit of kit and not too expensive

Cheers for the tip!

Yes I'll do follow on update videos for it mack. Ebuyer have requested I call them about the RMA request and their tech desk isn't open over the weekends so I can't even get the wheels in motion until Monday......

 

[mack341]

I love doing a bit of tech shopping, comparing all the deals and researching the reviews and forums, but ever since I bought a sharp vcr from co-op with a constantly on fan like a hairdryer any distracting noise has been a bug bear with me. 'Made in Germany' was proudly adorned on that vcr so I thought I was home and hosed, they forgot to say it was east

It is so disappointing to discover that there's something about your new purchase that is irritating and you just can't live with it...
I couldn't bear a loud laptop, I've only experience of a dell office laptop and that was near silent, so not sure how much noise to expect from a gaming laptop, mind you I'm still using a 2012 budget desktop and a basic nokia mobile so I am a little bit behind the current tech gear...

 

[ChopleyIOM]

DECISIVE ACTION has been taken.

Yes, and the illuminated logo (which you can switch off) on the back of the mic is remarkably like the IOM 3 legs flag.

 

[Balthazar]

I have a Razer Seiren (courtesy of Play'n Go who sent it me from Sweden when hearing the terrible audio when reviewing slots a few years ago). .

Using the word "terrible" is an understatement here dunover. Man that was bad, I remember some of your early videos I had no idea what you were trying to say because your laptop fan was louder than your comments

@ChopleyIOM Even if you're doing those videos as a hobby, I really appreciate that you take the time to make a quality product.

Just a starting point for the Razer Seiren, I found for slotting the best Bandicam setting is this , assuming mic set at mid-level itself. Never had a sound complaint since doing it this way.
