Hey Guys,

i have to shortly talk about this :)

I always said that i don't like most NetEnt slots because they seem so high variance to me... Recently i started playing them more and have a totally different experience.

For me it just feels that compared to other software like MG, you ALWAYS need a couple of spins until the slots pay (I talk now about all the old school ones, like Bloodsuckers, Mystery in the Mansion, Voodo Vibes, ...). They don't pay on every spin, but when they pay the pay often quite good because of the wilds. The paytable in general is pretty cool, because always when you see 2-3 wilds on the first reels you will have a good result. Also Freespins mostly pay pretty OK.

The onyl thing which needs some time is the bonus round... Because they are always extremely different... Sometimes the best pick you can make is 5$ with a bet of 1$, but sometimes it can also be 50$...

I just really fell in love wiht all these slots since i've started to play them more.

I think Frankenstein and Starburst are lower variance, Jack and the Beanstalk quite high, DoA very high variance, Wild Rockets Medium. I can't comment on the rest, but they are a refreshing change to the MG dirges we were stuck with, better than Playtech too. And of course, most Netent providers have ultra-fast cashouts, are solid financially and few complaints.

They dont have many high variance slots TBH. Real steel, DoA, Jack and the Beanstalk and that's pretty much it. Some might argue that Devil's Delight and Thunderfist are also high variance, but pretty much all the other slots are low/medium variance.

Did you try Starburst? You might like it.

Rain's the best guy to ask, but I'm pretty sure Jack is only medium variance
 
I'm only going by what I've seen others post. I rarely get the chest feature, but I do get the floating wild feature often enough

I actually would describe Jack and the Beanstalk as medium variance.
Although there is the POTENTIAL for a mega-win in the free-spins, they can also produce next to nothing, so IMO not too much of the RTP comes from the feature.
I have frequently managed to get 100's of spins in "normal spins" with a relatively slow decrease in my balance.

New slots Evolution and Elements are also medium to low variance with exciting free-spin features.

KK
Yeah, I agree. I would says that Jack and the Beanstalk is medium+ variance. Decent playtime, but still has the potential for some big hits as you said. The best hit I have seen on this game is about 4-5000 x total bet.

Gotta love those stacked wilds during free spins :D

Let us know how you did CraiGDaniel!

Well Elements... I LOOOOOVE it. If you get one of the cooler Free Spin features (my favorite: Fire) they mostly pay quite good, but this slot can be so hardcore during regular spins. I've had it many times that i did 20-30 spins without winning anything (except a couple of cents)

The JATB base game payout is so shitty it's unbelievable. It's easy to get fooled by the "running wild" thingy and I remember that I liked it at first until I realized that it very very rarely pays more than 5x stake in the base game. A very large % of the RTP is hiding in those rare free spins monster wins. When everything sucks except some rare big wins, that's DoA territory and high variance in my book.

Medium variance would be a slot that fairly regularly drops 50x to 250x stake wins. It sure as hell not happening with JATB.

But the HUGE wins are so Rare its not funny. The Slot has potential but unleashing it is another Story altogether :)

I have played maybe 2k spins on Jack and honestly the biggest win in base game was 5 aces.
The FS can pay a lot, but I`ve had sessions where I couldn`t hit them on a 50 deposit playing min bet.
Still better that damn Robin Hood.

And regarding NetEnt slots in general, I like the fact that they are usually not clones.
They came up with great ideas recently, Elements or Evolution for example.

BTW Quickspin`s Supernova is a fantastic slot :thumbsup:

I tried Supernova once, killed me immediately without any exciting win... :)

Its variance may be even higher than DoA. At least in DoA you sometimes get some decent (20x-30x) wins outside of the free spins while it almost never happens with JATB.

I have no clue why KK and Rainmaker think it's medium variance but I sure would like to hear it.

When I stated it was HV it was from my experience of playing it. I cannot, like you, see it as anything but a HV slot.

Lol - NOTHING has a higher variance than DOA.... :)

I'd classify it medium to high. It's great for wagering ... I've used this Slot many times to clear Bonuses. My biggest hit to date is around 400x bet.

As I have already said; I have often played the slot for HOURS and my balance dropped very slowly. I have had several free-spin features which paid less than my triggering bet and yet I have also never had a win from free-spins which I would class as exceptionally good.

Variance is subjective and it's not surprising that different players will have different views on it, but IMHO JatB is low to medium variance at best, and can not in any way be compared to high variance slots like DoA or BDBA.

KK
 
I agree KK, BDBA and DOA are much, much higher. Still i think it's higher than medium. I compare it a bit to Frankenstein. Frankenstein can also be very dry sometimes, but it also gives quite often 10-30x bet... I think the hardest thing is that so many free spin features on JatB can be very bad compared with the fact that they don't trigger that often.

If the free spin features would always pay 20-30x bet at least (like other slots do) the situation woudl be better, but often you wait for the free spins and they can't help you in the end...
 
Question about DoA

Netent games are new to me, but since I no longer can play MG (download) casino's in Belgium, I started playing Netent games.
I have seen a lot of screen shots with very big wins on DoA.

My question : what is the probability of getting the retrigger during the free spins?

And what is the probability to get 5 wilds on a winning line during free spins?
Is this comaparable with getting the 5 sapphires with a 5 multiplier during a bonus round at BDBA?

I could not tell you the exact probabilities of getting the Re-trigger - But its small. A re-trigger can also sometimes throw the wilds all over the place and leave you with less than a 100x win. I sometimes ONLY play DOA and could wait a whole month to see the extra 5 wilds over 10's of thousands of spins... Then I see them 4 times in a day at different places.

Getting 5 Wilds on a pay line is slim but I do not think it can be compared to BDBA and the Sapphires in the free spins. The probability that you will get The FULL payout on BDBA is (IMPO) slimmer than getting 5 Wilds on a line in DOA.

The thing is there are so many anomalies with DOA. You could get them on your LAST spin to complete 5 wilds and end up getting a 200x win or you could get them lined up BEFORE the Extra spins start... In most cases the BIG hits on DOA come with 5 wilds on a line before the re-trigger.

I have played almost as much on BDBA and my biggest hit is still only just under 2000x bet whereas on DOA I have had a hit of 4145x and a FEW of over 3000x bet.

Both Slots are Very volatile and DOA is very reliant on FS to pump up your balance. I would say that the variance on DOA is a notch above BDBA and I see more features on DOA than on BDBA. The average return on Features is better with BDBA for me though.
