Netent? Defo banned from my list forever! <Rant Mode On>

[mrmark21]

Hey KK,well I mean all the Netent slots I have ever played.
Where will I begin.

South Park,Fisticuffs,Silent Run (one of the worst slots ever),DOA,Starburst,JATB,Twin Spin,Egg o Matic,Secret of the Stones etc etc etc.
I cannot win on Netent,period.

Maybe Netent doesn't like me either.
Maybe that is all to it.

I know you promote Netent KK,no problems with that whatsoever but for me Netent does not work.
I know now to avoid these slots as hell.

But that said again,that is my personal experience with Netent.
They can scrape ENT as it stands for entertainment.

I agree, I played them all. Once I collected everything on JATB and the crappy little game returned 100x the bet. Some members might be like WOW a 100x the bet? Lol! But sorry when you get to that stage you should be guaranteed a pretty decent win. I believe frustrating would be the best word to describe my experience playing Netent. IMO the big wins capable on MG just don't seem to be present on Netent. That's judging by what I can see on the Winners section.

I think you should stick with Jungle Wild (love that game!). You should try Magic Wand as well it's pretty much just a clone. Only you can see from your own experience what Netent games play like. Just go off past experience. Ask yourself if your willing to keep feeding Netent's slots? Do they give me enough play time? Do they allow me to cash-out once in a while? How many deposits have I made since my last cash-out? Do I really consider Netents slots to be entertaining? Go off your own experience. Only you know what your experience has been like.

I gave Netent slots a really good chance but I just kept losing at the speed of lightening, I wanted to give them a chance because other CM members seem to like them, but I wasn't going to keep feeding MY money into slots that played like crap and never paid out. I'm only going to keep going for so long until I give up. I think Balthazar is absolutely smack bang on target with his post.

P.s. Just wanted to add I agree with the other members. Jackhammer is a pretty good game. I seemed to get frequent enough features on that game to keep me happy.

Last year i won allooooot on NetEnt games. i think my total cash out was around 20-30 000 €

Then i used to play mainly Gonzo, JATBS, Subtopia, Flowers, Thunderfist and a few other slots. But this recent year has been totally horrible i lost probably all that and more. And now i start to realize thats because ive been playing all these new games that NetEnt has been releasing. And they are made so you just cant get ahead. Seriously ive been scratching my head at why ive been so unrealisticly unlucky for the past 10 months or so.

But these last couple of months ive started playing WMS alot and im suprised at the playtime im getting compared to NetEnt.. I was even low rolling on min bet with a comp at nordicbet and hit 3 wilds with 5x multiplier on Ruby slippers for a 665 x bet.. Try hitting that on any of these Recent NetEnt slots... Only new NetEnt slot that i won on multiple times is Secret of the stones, and i do think it has huge hit potensial given u hit 5 scatters and get the right combination of bonus picks

LOL on what betsizes was that!

 

[kazzi]

I "often" see those huge wins a mariacasino but then when you read the small story they are betting 500-1000kr a spin so its not really huge betwise.

But the last year all my big wins been from netent, but it can go weeks before you get anything decent often eats your bankroll incredible fast, but my goto slot is always wild rockets i love that slot and it often pays big, never understood the love with evolution main game can eat your whole balance in 5-10min so many dead/small wins you really need the freespins but if you arent lucky on the first 3-4spins you know the feature is gonna suck.

 

[SubzeroWins]

One thing that happens to me a lot with netent: I lose small deposits for days, then win it all back when i take a bonus. With a nice 35x WR to clear of course When i decide not to take a bonus, i never hit big.

 

[dionysus]

NETENT has never really been kind to me in terms of big hits, but at least last night gave me some playtime followed by a bit of a boost - then switched to MG and that's where I hit the biggie lol - NETENT def needs some new high var games

 

[Nate]

NetEnt has been absolutely AWFUL with their new releases. I cannot reiterate how poor the pay tables are.

Space Wars, Secret of the Stones, Thief, Twin Spin ... the list goes on. I just cannot seem to find a decent slot amongst the newer releases - All eat money at a rapid pace and returns are dismal. Starting balance anywhere from 150x to 500x are like sweets to kids to some of these games.

The newer Slot - Creature from the Black Lagoon is a bit decent in comparison. A better pay table and a slight hope for survival.

I'm beginning to sound like an old Granny nagging ... lol - I think that the more I play their Slots, the more I realise playing their newer games is a complete and utter waste of money, disastrous and quite frankly not in a players best interest.

Yes stay away from their newer games, I had a decent run on Lucky Angler the other night at Guts - $10 deposit, 30c bets, won a $100 which IMO is a good return. But their new games are shocking!

 

[whodatrec]

I dont understand why you guys seem to like the creature from the black lagoon. To me that slot is horrible, dead spins all the time and no feature, and if u get the feature expect a shitty return. To me the best new NetEnt slot is secret of the stones, i actually think im ahead on that slot. When its "in the mood" u can get alot of good freespins after one another

The Creature usually seems to take about 50 - 100x then dish out a few hits to level you (unlike every other new NetEnt Slot) or throw you ahead every now and again. Plus I love sticky wilds (apart from Lucky Angler)

My last session on SOTS sucked up 150x bet not 1 Free Spin or hit above 16x - My previous 3 sessions all took 200x and more. I love the concept, and game itself but I can't stand the game purely because it is a money gobbler. If I had a decent hit here or there I may change my mind, but i have lost lots of $$$ on it ... Trust me the poor pay table is No Secret

Nate

 

[dunover]

CFTBLagoon is simply a rehash of JATB - the feature plays the same, 9 hits to get you 10 extra spins and full wilds. In those 10 extra spins you'll be lucky to see more than one or two spins which land a sticky wild. Big hit potential is there, but give me DoA any day.....

 

[mrmark21]

I find it kinda funny that Netent keeps releasing these poor paying games. I learnt my lesson a long time ago. Stick to the old games but even the old games will gobble up your BR and then some. But yes I don't know how they continue to have repeat customers with such poor paying games. Are they trying to solve addicts problems simply by teaching them not to gamble through bad returns or do they actually think people will keep coming back for more @sse whoopins lol!

Netent's like RTG to me (although I have seen higher paying RTG screenies) the features come up so rarely no one could blame you for falling asleep at the computer screen. I'd go as far as to recommending playing Netent to those suffering from insomnia, try it, it's guaranteed to put you to sleep. Sorry I just started thinking about my experience with Netent after my first post and it cracked me up a little.

 

[lotusch]

I have seen already so many nice hits on Creature of the Black lagoon that I am so tempted to give this slot a swing.
But knowing my luck on Netent it will end up in a disater again.

i did very well on it first time playing watch out plenty of wilds showing & you hitting lots of good small wins to keep you topping up if your getting these your in with a good chance failing that stay clear it will munch loads )

"death from a thouasand cuts"

That's a good phrase for what it feels like to play netent slots when down to your last few $$

The phrase which kept springing to mind for me was a local one "sangrinario" (if I heard and understood it right, being a British type living in Spain).. a bleeding out

I've been playing a lot of their games for the last year, and have to admit to really enjoying the entertainment value. But in terms of actually cashing out... it's been... come to think of it, it's been never.

There's been a few big wins, and quite a few times a $10 deposit ended up being 200-300

And thanks to this thread I think I understand now why it's harder to get to a significant session win on netent games : though the trpt is comparable to other developers, the spread of the payouts makes it much less likely you'll walk away with anything worth cashing out.

Last week did have two pretty good sessions though, both started with $50 and made it towards the 500-700 mark

The strategy I used was to increase the coin size every time I hit a feature on Elements and Gonzos.

Might just be fluke, but it was by far the best paying sessions I've had on their games.

 

[rshkrn]

I've been playing Netent purely for entertainment and as a distraction from MG or playtech. The win potential is definitely there but it does seem to take a lot more spins to get those big wins....

You are right on the money about the design!

Trust me - those games are OK. You will make a really huge mistake trying any of their new slots. The payouts are so bad its unreal.

You might just hit the odd win 1 out of 10 times but you will come out with more blank spins then ALL of your sessions on other providers combined.

Big fan of the software, not a fan of the ethic in game design. Their Slots will almost never pay in the long run. Slots are inevitably designed to have the house winning; however at the rate at which NetEnt are designing their slots, players might just run out of money and never return.

Their ultimate goal is to create the lowest paying Slots with the highest variance - and yes - they have managed totally to ace it in their last few releases.

My philosophy still remains the same on them - 'NetEnt - Ensuring you DON'T win Big since 2011'

Sure but they have plenty of old ones that are fun to play.. Its not like you have to play only the new slots

 

[mrmark21]

I agree the returns on their new slots are terrible. They have some amazing graphics. However if your looking for a cash-out then your better off playing their old games...

I've been playing allot of Netent on fun mode recently and the only games that have managed to get me up more than the starting balance are the old games (even then not by much). The games based on my experience that seem good at giving some regular returns are Lucky Angler (I do like this game but not enough to play for real money again), Simsalabim, Crusade of Fortune, Blood Suckers, Secret Code, Voodoo Vibes, and those sorts of games with a bonus and free spin round. I think they are low variance though?

 

[Nate]

Indeed - That's why I play DOA

Nate

 

[sonofkung]

Well, can I take some of that back ?

Just turned a tenner into 500 last week and withdrew it

Mainly Gonzo was responsible

Seems like the only way to play them (and cash out) is seat of your pants, $10 spins with a $200 balance

 

[SPOPPLE]

Hundreds wasted the past few days on netent slots, biggest win was on DOA which was about 60x bet, mockery. One of the casinos I play on only offer netent slots, not made one withdrawal from them, EVER, so I now self excluded myself.

 

[sonofkung]

At the risk of sounding like a fanboi...

I had a crazy session on FistyCuffs (yeah, I know right ?) last week.

Kept moving up the gears and my initial 100 hit 5k at some stage.

Very strange game that one. Can easily burn through a 100 spins with no action, then the next hundred you increase your balance by a factor of 10.

Still not sure about of the games, specially TwinSpin, which never seems in the mood for a payout.

I can sometimes feel like a slow bleed out playing their games, but crazy big payouts do happen every now and then.

That new surfer one seems a bit miserable in the TwinSpin style. Played maybe a thousand games today and didn't hit anything bigger than 20x bet.

The thing about NetEnt is their games are always beautifully presented. As entertainment they're hard to beat.

And the thing they seem to really have nailed, for me anyway, is the feeling that the next spin might really hit big.

There are some smart people working there.
