My online slots videos (plus UK AWPs)

[dunover]

Friday night slots.

Some casinos freeze sounds/graphics when the Bandicam is in action as you saw, going in and out of it - simply right-click once on your mouse somewhere within the Bandicam frame on the game screen to prevent this.

Yes I worked it out fairly early on hence no problems after the first few minutes of the video. Bit of a nuisance though!

Allegedly IR has been remade again but it's still a bit shonky compared to the old Viper Client version.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

One of the finest 'true skill' AWPs ever made, that didn't really on cheaty shit.

I was catching up on your online slot vids last night, when you played neon pyramid, which I had never heard of, so typed it into ladbrokes' search box and there it was, checked the rtp - 95.8 or thereabouts, gave it a tentative go and the first bonus paid about a fiver, raised my stake to 60p and hit another bonus, which nearly opened the pyramid to the top, and went for £200 smakeroos, so Chop, wouldn't have played it otherwise.

Similar to your problem at unibet, it is so hard to browse the game pages nowadays on most sites and be intrigued by a new title, very cumbersome and unorganised I find. Ladbrokes had it right with their old games section, smaller game pics so you could see more on one screen, a couple of scrolls up and down and you could see the full offering.

If I can return a game tip, be very wary of cleopatra:queen of the desert, brutal codswallop that makes playtech slots look advanced.

On that vid you also gave immortal romance a bash, I doubt this new version is identical to the old one, the variance seemed different when I gave it a little bash last night. I don't know why a html reissue can't be the same as flash, it's simply moving graphics after all.

 

[Kroffe]

Same on Betsson group sites.
Most sites will have some way for you to search or sort by provider, either by checking a box, or maybe typing in "netent" will show you all slots form that provider etc.

Cant understand how big sites like Unibet, betsson etc does not have a way to do this.
Seems like such a simple thing to implement, and im sure a shitload of people wants the function.

Neon Pyramid is a great slot IMO, glad you won on it TBH it was kind of lucky I chanced upon it at all, the thumbnail stuck out to me when the slot was released and I like 'neon themed' games, that sort of 80s style hyper-lurid vibe, so I gave it a go and found it was a really good game. It helps that it's got great music too, the feature music in particular.

I remember back when Microgaming were the big deal and they had the Viper client, every time a new slot was released to the client it was quite exciting to see what they'd done, these days there are so many slots being released the vast majority of them I don't even look at.

I haven't noticed any differences in how IR plays in its new HTML5 version, but it's painfully apparent they've tried to reduce the amount of data it uses, the jerky animations are missing so many frames they're practically like slideshows.

ah maybe that's it, it felt all very cramped to me and like you say jerky, the other aspect is I wasn't confident of ladbrokes rtp accuracy. Game of thrones 243 is 95% rtp, yet IR the full fat version, thunderstruck 2 I couldn't even find the rtp!

It's a small sample [coral, lads, and will hill] but these sites all seem keen to have an extra help page (of their own formulation) for each game outside of the game, instead of locating the rtp info from the ingame paytable info, it needs sorting out.

I've always thought the uk bookie style sites don't know much about slots and just have them as a side serving, but the way they've handled chopping the rtp leads me to believe they are a bit more cunning and have thought about the potential reaction to it, losing trade to sites that haven't.

That win was just over 300x on my first ever play and yet no limit slots haven't given me anything close after several attempts, so the variance of neon suits me better, more chance of a good medium win, and not impossible to land a bonus.

I only started slotting in about 2015, didn't play a microgaming slot until around 2017 as the sites I played just didn't have any, so I never saw how the viper client thing worked, is disappointing when things are changed/removed which were better before, no doubt the drive for efficiency and to make more money, while forgetting about the end user experience.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Three new online slots played and reviewed. From Play 'N Go there's:

Cat Wilde In The Eclipse Of The Son God
The House Of Doom 2 The Crypt

and from NetEnt there's:

Rome: The Golden Age (apparently this can hit for over 100,000x stake)

If you watch the video on YouTube there are timecodes for everything.

 

[Kroffe]

Cheers, will give it a watch.
Also, sorry not sorry.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Latest video on the channel is for a brilliant old £6 jackpot UK AWP called Bonanza (NO NOT THAT ONE) by a company called JPM.



Also there was this one too for POP.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Had a session on the 98% slots at Unibet.com last night.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Incidentally, one thing I would draw attention to is some of the RTP calculations in that video, in particular the MASSIVE difference in expected playtime between playing Gonzo's Quest Megaways at Unibet, and the same game at Videoslots on the utter pisstake RTP of 92.71% (!).

[Video_Poker_Pro]

Had a session on the 98% slots at Unibet.com last night.

This one is nice, been telling people around to try out unibet for they have high rtp overall on games. As usual great video degsy

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Continuation of the 98% slots session, includes a couple of things I didn't manage to catch on camera as part of the original session, and some all out wheel gambling on Gonzo.

 

[dunover]

Had a session on the 98% slots at Unibet.com last night.

Not 300%, your expected spins went down by 75% from approx 5400 to 1300.

The simple way to approximate it is to take 25% off for each 2% RTP reduction, from a starting point of 96%

So say 3000 spins @ 96%, then 2250 @ 94%, 1500 @ 92% etc.

But your video into really exemplifies what a fucking enormous shafting players are getting from this variable RTP bollocks.

But yes, the sheet is useful, I had one myself years ago but deleted it. Couldn't fire me one over by PM?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Yes that'll teach me to do sums on the fly.... I think I was coming at it more from 5400 being 300% of 1350 (which is still wrong anyway), but of course that's not what I actually said

As you say though, the point remains that reduced RTPs are massively detrimental to players and IMO a few perks like battles and races won't even come close to plugging the gap over time.

Besides which, as a clued up player I could still play at VS and make sure I avoid the gimped slots and maximise whatever perks I can etc - but TBH I'd just feel icky playing at a casino that I know is happy to run slots at under 93% RTP or that fucking scratchcard thing at 50%. It's like 'Well they're not kicking me personally in the bollocks at this moment in time, so I'm happy for them to carry on kicking everyone else in the bollocks'.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Very much one for the old school UK AWP players

It was obviously the non-alcoholic purchases that made you think you were playing £6 jackpots pre-1993.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I think I'll just 'take the fifth' when it comes to that period of time......

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I've posted this in the Crazy Time thread as well but I'll update this thread with it too.

Big win is at 5m58s but there's a lot more gameplay and many features in there.

Congrats on the nice hit.
Must be one in a million to get all those things to line up.

What are the min bets on crazy time?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Minimum coin size for me was 10p, but as I explain in the video you probably want to be covering all results to get the best RTP, which means an effective minimum bet of 80p per spin.

You absolutely can just cover a single thing for 10p per spin but you're hurting your RTP. (Again, all covered in the video, if you watch on YouTube everything is timecoded.)

Will watch later, just skipped to the big hit when giving it a look now.
Skipped to the big hit just now because i got curious. =)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Quite a few comments left on the previous video, and my super amazing high RTP strategy turns out to be the wrong way to play it.....

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Old £4.80 and £6 jackpot UK AWPs for this video.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Not that it really matters, but a few folks were determined to sort out the unlimited nudges jackpot riddle on this machine

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Another classic AWP for this video. I'll be having a slots session tonight for the next slots video.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well, this was pretty brutal.....

I had no idea it was quite that bonkers!

Learned the hard way there.....

 

[mack341]

Well, this was pretty brutal.....

cor dear that game was hungry! I do hate that when you plan to play a range of games, or try some new ones, but then you get stuck on something, and are sat there in disbelief as it munches your entire balance in double quick time. It was as though it couldn't trust giving you anything back as it knew you'd be off in a shot.

It stretches the idea of random for me when slots play like this, it is like you have stumbled into a fixed phase of play where the hit rate drops to something like 1/25 spins and only smallish wins at that, I wonder what your rtp was once you dipped below £200? I experienced it a while back playing eye of horus [normal not megaways], no base game and no bonus, it was absolutely brutal but I couldn't leave it, if I get a decent win sometime I will go back to it though - mad I know but it owes me at least one bonus!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Yes I know what you mean mack, when a slot turns that feral even the most ardent of anti-tinfoilers such as myself can't help but start twitching a bit

That said I have been on the other side of that curve several times in the past, you know one of those sessions where every slot is a winner, and we don't then start thinking the slots must be broken or locked into 'payout mode'!

Indeed most recently at Unibet I turned a £60 deposit into over £1350 on my usual modest spins, culminating with that incredible good fortune on the Crazy Time wheel game when I had a £1 chip covering the feature and it paid 640x stake.

So overall I just accept that once in a while a nasty kicking is going to be sent my way, it's not nice when it happens of course, but I have a bit of sweary rant about it, and live to fight another day

yeah that is true, I've enjoyed a few streaky sessions and not found the time afterwards to complain about random this or that ...it's probably my misunderstanding of random and how that interplays with the volatility/odds.

I don't think I've seen a big win screenshot from eye of horus posted yet the base game is practically non-existent, beggars belief where the money goes, even that frutz looks like it may have a more frequent win rate!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

A machine I made an awful lot of money from back in the day, yet another compensated AWP where there those in the know could clean up and leave depressingly battered machines behind for everyone else.

 

[Jono777]

Excellent, there is something to watch later.....

Unsure if I ever did mention it but did mean to ask whether you ever got to take advantage of these beauties

We made a FORTUNE from them and left many even owing us a small payout following an empty hopper, Barcrest must have known but that being said they went on to release "Jackpoteers" which although a tough more stubborn to get started was equally 'bashable'

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Yes Jono all covered in the video I did indeed make some serious bank out of these, only had Lotta Lucks around here, but it was cloned into The Jackpoteers and later Fort Boyard. Jackpoteers and Fort Boyard got £25 upgrades.

They got rechipped a few times but Barcrest never quite managed to fix it, also covered in the video

It's a long video I'm afraid but I had a lot to waffle on about for this one

 

[ChopleyIOM]

What would happen if you did the method twice on Lotta Luck, back to back?



And the video I did on Wild Flower.

Not watched the video yet but you'd get your arse handed to you.

An impatient (thankfully part time) member of our ye olde bandit bashing group who would not listen and decided to 'go solo' found out the hard way more than once. Yes you'd get there eventually but it would be a lot more costly than the first time around or applying the method after a run of normal / natural play.

Best was to empty all bar about £15-£20 on a Monday or earlier part of the week (after the weekend fill from novices, drunks and addicts ) and not re-visit the same machine till at least a fortnight later.

Being 'regimented' in this way helped us to get the maximum time and value from the machines we rinsed over the years

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Not watched the video yet but you'd get your arse handed to you.

You might be surprised by the result!

I do talk about 'machine timing' in the video though, how getting the timing right for how often to hit a machine was critical to obtaining profitable results.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Just keeping this thread up to date. Watch on YouTube for the timecodes, for the very impatient there's quite a nice feature on Punk Rocker at the end

Good video and nice win at the end I think your right on the 99 game though that the extra few % of the rtp is baked into the scatter feature. Reminds me a little bit of an old RTG game I used to play where you triggered the free spins after 150 spins - Aztec something or other if I recall.

So its a bit of a gimmick I think billing this as a 99% RTP slot - as the base game probably pays /plays the same as BOD ( unless your playing at @Team.Videoslots where you will get shafted by the LOW rtp

I think its a decent concept and it certainly outs those casinos such as videoslots with the gimped RTPs who are terrified of giving any kind of value for money. Good one though Chopley - and if I was currently gambling I would probably give this a few 1000 spins )

 

[Video_Poker_Pro]

The volatility seems highe to get a good bonus, so why would they take it away. What sites have it as of now?

 

[Kroffe]

Two sites i know that have it are Mrgreen and Vera&John.
Out of the two i would recommend Vera&John, becuase they run full rtp on all their slots and they also recently removed the jackpots from their red tiger slots, so its like the only site where you can play Red tiger with full rtp without the jackpots. (atleast the only one i know of)

Mrgreen has full rtp on most of their slots, but red tiger for example is set to about 1% lower than standard for most releases (atleast for Swedish market)

Right, finally got around to watching this tonight, most enjoyable and brought back some amazing memories.

As always cannot resist sharing my experiences as with more recently Barcrest's Up n' Over

When you get some spare time @ChopleyIOM , try the following, this is how we played it

1) Ignore all wins as with your existing method, get machine warmed up and '?' rarely killing off.
2) Refuse 4 invincible boards (can take £2, even £3 wins instead of £1's)
3) Take the cash streak whether invincible or not
4) Return to refusing all wins to see if it will go invincible again within no more than £10 - £15
5) Refuse 2 more invincible boards if possible, if it is 'playing up' refuse at least one
6) Take cash streak again whether red board or normal
7) Bash for as much after play as possible, take maybe one JP and even £10'ers after that

Let me know please if your new results differ vastly from the video

Jon

That's Skol Super which is an entirely different beast to regular Skol.

All UK teenagers go through a rite of passage with something like Skol Super or Tennent's Super, manage to drink a can or two of it, are violently ill, and never touch it ever again. It is peculiarly disgusting stuff.
