New Slot Announcement Narcos by Netent... Plata o Plomo

[Harry_BKK]

Really like these game sheets that you have access too, if UKGC want to do something useful they should make it so all of this information is legally required to be available on every slot.

Did ask about png ones last time but are these netent ones publicly available anywhere?

No, I'm afraid not!

Some say the numbers will allow competitors to reverse engineer a slot. Not really convinced that's true but who knows. Would be surprised if just a few numbers would be enough.

What I find more troubling is the trend of more spins to trigger the feature.

Bonanza - 1:450, this one 1:351 and there are many more of the latest releases where you will need hundreds of spins on average to get a feature which 7-8/10 pay less than 20x bet.

Seems good on paper: JABS mechanics with 243 ways, really bad execution though.

Slightly different to JatB because the Walking Wild will disappear immediately if you don't score a win. On JatB it always goes to the far left, win or no win.

Yeah I know, one of its many shortcomings
Never actually seen the free spins either but i believe you dont get extra free spins from wilds like with beanstalk unless its the last spin.

No retrigger and no extra spins when a walking wild is on screen.

Only if you have walking wilds in play on the last free spin will it give extra spins until all disappear or you don't score a win.

I tried this in real. Must have done around 1k spins on it. Only had 1 free spins which paid 13X bet from them. Very very poor paying slot yet again from Net Ent. Maybe the money is in the other feature with the 3 scatter in the same line feature where it holds and re-spins and you get those gold suitcases where it upgrades the wins etc etc. I had that feature 3 times, best I had from one of those 3 was 60x ish bet. But if you get loads of suitcases then it might actually be where the money is located. I doubt the money is in the free-spins on this slot, the base game is also pretty boring and dull as well.

Base game is similar to Vikings if you don't hit features regularly.

Max in the free spins is 1,506x bet per free spin. Would have to check what it is for the bonus game.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Max win in the bonus game is 272x bet

Ahh ok I see, so I was wrong then, I mean the free spins just do not seem huge win potential. I was lucky to even get 1 wild show up, mostly all dead spins. Maybe I might try it again in the future.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Gave it a go earlier and I wasn't really impressed, but I wasn't with Vikings either. Perhaps it'll give me a nice feature when I try it again, just like Vikings did

Apologies for being daft but where is this available to play? I can't see it at VS or LeoVegas.

Thanks

You cannot play some branded NetEnt games in selected countries.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

ZOMG, I just spent weeks asking about getting normal NetEnt games available here on the IOM, now there are a whole different set of rules when it comes to branded games?

Can you see Motorhead, Guns N' Roses, Jimi Hendrix, Vikings?

It all depends where the casinos are paying the licence fee for the respective slots. And in some countries they are restricted altogether. So yes, never straightforward!

E.g. in my country no Jimi or Vikings.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I can see all of those, but not Narcos!

It really depends on the licence. In some countries, there are franchise partners who hold the licence and thus you won't see the game.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

This has been sorted for me now by Team VS support and I've been lumping away at in free play for a while already - lumpy bugger isn't it

 

[Luckyscouser45]

I got ten free spins on this from hyper, got the bonus and got £27 then had nearly £1000 wagering needless to say I failed miserably at wagering haha

Here's my play session, general review, thoughts on the RTP distribution and so on.

Cheers mate, that was interesting. And actually, even though you had some crappy luck with the freespins you still came out ahead and the slot is fun to play so it's hard to have too much to gripe about.

I think tactically playing at 20p spins with a £100 roll was a good move too. A lot of the time when folks moan about slots chomping through their bankroll its probably because they dont know the slot that well and go in at the wrong stake level.

As I say in the video it depends what you're after and what your expectations are.

When I deposit £100 I want some playtime, I want some fun, and I want some features. Having done around 1000 spins in free money mode at £1 per play and ending up 350x down with scarcely a murmur of a response from the slot, it became clear this was a 20p per play endeavour on a £100 deposit, and that 40p could risk a bust out early doors.

The old adage to 'never bet more than 1% of your bankroll' was coined in more innocent times IMO, I think it's entirely inappropriate with the lumpy high variance monsters that stalk the online casino landscape these days, and TBH it never made much sense back in the day unless you were specifically playing known low variance games. (The original WMS slot Bruce Lee for example, would dismantle £100 on 90p spins without so much as a pause to do a spinny head kick on a nearby bad guy.)

Honestly, I think Narcos is a pretty good game, I'd certainly take it over most (all?) of BTG's output.
