I'll say out of the gate I'm not the biggest fan of reaction/tumble style games (give me reels!) so Dice Fusion is already swimming against the tide with me a bit on that one, but 3Dice don't release new games that often, and I've had a decent run on my VIP match offers recently so had a nice balance to play with, hence I lobbed £500 at this yesterday and had it running for just shy of eight hours on 20p spins.

It did not go well.

1670681022429.png

Here's where I started. £500 balance.

1670681076384.png

And here's where I finished. That's 1112x down in eight hours on 20p spins, my best win in all that time was 205x stake. (And that was a bit of an outlier!)

1670681122546.png

Now, 3Dice do flag it as three chillies (out of three) on their volatility scale, but it doesn't cross into the new GOLD category, so it shouldn't be that insane. Despite a pretty gruelling first session I returned to it today, determined to give it a fair crack of the whip before writing this review, because this game clearly had potential I wasn't even getting close to, and I wanted to see out at least one solid hit.

Before we get into that, a word about the game itself. It's basically a riff on Reactoonz and we all know how that works, all your symbols drop down and any clusters of five or more of the same symbols pay an award, then they disappear and more stuff tumbles down. If you get a 2x2 block it applies a multiplier to that symbol for the rest of the tumbles on that spin (more 2x2 blocks add higher multipliers), and on every spin a symbol is denoted as 'CHARGED', if you get clusters on that symbol they leave a couple of wilds behind when they disappear.

Also, on any losing spin the game can randomly drop four or more wilds into play.

Foe every 25 symbols that disappear, you get a BONUS REACTION thingy out of four possibilities that modifies the board state to (hopefully) be advantageous for the player. So you get a bonus at 25-50-75-100 and then if you make it all the way to 125, you get the GARGANTOON, sorry, I mean you get the DICE FUSION!

And yes this does work just like the Gargantoon, you get a 3x3 wild drop in, then two 2x2 wilds and then all the single wilds on three consecutive tumbles.

(You know, I've just loaded Reactoonz in over at Unibet and I think this is basically a copy of it, the rules are essentially identical, as are the paytables.)

1670681935923.png
1670681954031.png

So there we are, that makes this all a bit easier, it's basically a dice version of Reactoonz. Graphically I quite like it, all the symbols are clear and easy to read, the various graphical effects for the bonus reactions are pretty nice, and the main DICE FUSION reaction looks and sounds pleasing (there's a little 3D spinning reactor too which I quite like). There's a decent enough little tune burbling along in the background that doesn't get offensive or make you want to cut your own ears off like Bonanza does.

RTP is solid if unspectacular at 95.2% which in a world where the Unibet front page is a sea of 93-94% games, I'll quite happily settle for.

And finally, did I eventually manage to land something good on it? Yes I did, but it took a total of TEN HOURS (!) of play to finally get there.....

You can see here I'm on bonus reaction two, and it's lobbed in 15+ of the next to top-tier symbol, I've also got the 2x2 block in there which puts a 2x multiplier on it, so that's £60 x 2 = £120 (600x) for that reaction alone.

1670682608723.png

This then went on to get all the way to the DICE FUSION bonus which paid a chunk more to finish off at 736x.

1670682893667.png

1670682909708.png

And then for an encore, literally whilst I typing out this review, it's chucked a 492x win at me, this was from a £60 win on the preliminary bonus stages, and then more to top it off in the DICE FUSION round.

1670682985622.png

So that's basically repaired all the damage that it did to me yesterday (not quite though! I'm still a tenner down on it), and I'm glad I stuck with it to finally get a couple of decent wins. Will it go on my normal 3Dice slots rotation? I'm not entirely sure at this moment in time, like I said, my preference is for traditional reels on games but I actually find this a bit easier to read than Reactoonz and can see what's going on a bit better, but it's clearly capable of delivering very long dead patches, as I witnessed yesterday with eight hours of one way downhill traffic!

Anyway, your TLDR on this is 3Dice now have a dice-themed Reactoonz on their books with a better RTP than you're likely to find Reactoonz at these days.....

Since the symbols are dice already it shouldn't take ages to pop up on RedDice :p

I'm still lumping away at it, do be warned it really seems stacked into those bigger wins, getting to the GARGANTOON/DICE FUSION phase doesn't guarantee much of anything.

I'm not sure the payout profile on this is really suited to my tastes, part of me is wishing I'd bailed when I'd won most of investment back and was only £10 down..... :D

You can tell just by looking at the paytable how weighted it is into the top tier symbols and getting the big clusters on them.

I love Reactoonz so I'm used to the kind of game, let's hope they don't release it under 95% here like they did with Legion :(

As a long-term victim of Reactoonz, I totally get what you mean.
Yes I've had a few really bonzer wins on it, but other times it does feel like banging your head VERY hard against a brick wall - especially when it keeps giving you that f**king red "Demolition" totally crap first "bonus enhancement" :mad:
You honestly deserve a medal for playing ANY game for 8 fricking hours though - you LEGEND! :cheers:
(AND for compiling such a detailed and in-depth review for us)

I may pop over to 3Dice and give it a bash - I only discovered a couple of months ago that I had left >$100 in there for years, which I had completely forgotten about! :oops:

Memories from 2018 to 2020:

I now have 15 hours of Bandicam footage of me banging away at Dice Fusion, which is far more play than I ever did on Reactoonz. (It's also grinding away again now as I type this.....)

It's a harsh game, the volatility profile is a bit messed up IMO, it struggles to get through 50x on any sort of regular basis, 100x is rare and 200x feels like Christmas coming early.

I think it's one of those feast or famine style games, my feeling is there's a lot of RTP in wins of 400-500x and bigger, which if you can hit a couple of them close together as I did yesterday is very nice of course, but on a drought it'll drain your balance in a pretty miserable fashion.

The bonus reactions can also be an exercise in frustration, and the way it manages to fizzle out on what looks like should be a dead cert for getting to the Gargantoon, SORRY I MEAN DICE FUSION, starts to get a bit tiresome.

I'll see it out for another couple of decent hits just to see what the game can do, but if you look at the paytable you can see how stacked it is into the couple of highest paying symbols on the 15+ clusters, to the extent that a lot of the time you can see that the Dice Fusion isn't really going to do a massive amount because it just doesn't have the board state to work with.

Both of my big wins on this so far (and remember this is in 15 solid hours of play) have come from getting big clusters off the preliminary bonus reactions, not the actual Dice Fusion itself, and they also looked very 'engineered', like the game had picked the result from the RNG and then created a board state to match the win. I'm not saying it necessarily works like Jammin' Jars with its predetermined sequences, but there seems to be an element of that in there.

For it to lob out a genuinely massive win would take some godlike combination of getting the multiplier up on the best symbols, and then it managing to create a 15+ cluster for them.

I'm not going to pass final verdict yet, but my feeling at this point is the paytable is a bit lopsided, and too reliant on rare big hits to give a satisfying game experience. (Which, incidentally, is the same conclusion I reached about Reactoonz.)

Why 3Dice haven't re-released Kyoko's Quest on their new platform I have no idea, that's a fantastic game, right there, just sitting on the shelf.

WE WILL SAVE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY PON PON.

I used to love 3Dice's old download client as well, but then I'm quite old-fashioned and mourn the loss of the MG Viper Client too. Yes I know everyone's using phones and tablets and things these day but frankly modernity can fuck off because I don't like it.

I thought ALL slots these days worked like that.
Basically they are all just scratchcards with very fancy graphics to reveal what you have won.

Not like the "good old days" of Thunderstruck et al, where the wins were produced by the genuine random stopping of each reel, which had a fixed strip of characters, not gimped displays where symbols appear anywhere and everywhere they shouldn't be... :mad:

Yeah - that was one of my favourites too, back in those good old days!
It was a great fun slot to play, though I have only recorded one win over 100x...

I used to enjoy Reactoonz but it would often be brutal then suddenly it would go berserk. Had a 2000x win and 2500x win on Reactz in the distant past. I will give this "new" 3dice slot a run when I play back there later this month. But ...... what happened to innovative unique games that 3dice used to produce ? the last 2 "new releases" are clone territory .... so not exactly exciting to see. 3Dice need to get back to basics and do what they used to be great at - producing unique slots which you could not really compare anything else with.

Still a great casino though and pretty much the only one I gamble at now when I do gamble that is. Good review though @ChopleyIOM :thumbsup:

Some of 3Dice's games work like that (proper reels), Arctic Adventure for example I've learned the reels and can tell just from the spin of the reels if I'm going to get the scatters or not for a feature, because the reel strips on the screen are genuine.

I'm not sure about some of their recent output like Conny & Blyde and Berrini's Fortune, they seem to throw 'fake scatters' onto the reels to make it look more likely you're going to get a feature - I could be wrong though.

AFAIK their classic slots also work with genuine reels, with the paytables and RTP simply calculated from the server pulling a random stop position for each of the reels on each spin.

Yeah - that was one of my favourites too, back in those good old days!

Yes it was a very mild game overall, I used to enjoy cycling through the various bonus rounds and then hoping to trigger the bigger paying Pon Pon bonus round with four or five scatters for the juiciest wins. Alas I never managed to do so and then the game disappeared when they switched to the new web platform :(
 
Gah! Here's a slightly frustrating board state. The 3Dice symbol is the top paying symbol (like the pink thingy on Reactoonz) and I got the bonus reaction that grabs a selection of symbols and turns them all the same. For a second I thought it'd make a 15+ cluster for 750x but somehow it managed to gimp itself as you can see here.

Easy to see how it could have easily managed to not be so twatty about it where I've marked with green crosses!

In fact it would have been 1500x, because I've got the 2x2 configuration which would have applied a 2x multiplier to the win.

Oh well, woulda coulda shoulda.

I think I'm going to properly dig in on this and just absolutely smack it to pieces until it either takes all my money or delivers a seriously big hit.

GAME ON!

(The balance you can see there is just what I'm playing with on my current VIP match offer, I've still got £500 in my Personal Safe.)

Chopley vs Dice Fusion - place your bets.....

Yes indeed Deeplay, as we've both said before, 3Dice are at their best then they're cranking out unique games. They've always knocked out the odd copy from time to time (Gemini / Twin Spin for example), but I'd like to see them do another Enchanted Spins (Enchanted Spins 2!) or Berrini's Fortune.

But yes, it's basically the only place I play now, I loaded up Unibet.com the other night thinking I might make a deposit, but was immediately greeted with a screenful of uninspiring looking games on shit RTPs and I didn't even know where to start, so I didn't bother. I mean, doubtless there's some good stuff in there that I might enjoy, but who wants to wade through ten piles of crap to find one decent game?

Just tried it, and I have to say I think Reactoonz is WAY better graphically - though Dice Fusion is not bad, by any means.

And would you believe it - I had only played about TEN or so spins when I got the Gargantoon Fusion feature! :eek2:
Only paid 65x and was VERY annoyed that I was only risking 20c bets, but mustn't grumble ;)

Yep agreed. And Berrini's Fortune was a great release. I have had multiple 4 scatters but the fabled 5 still eludes me. Great game though. I have not so much as looked into a UK Facing casino going on maybe 2 years now. With basicially nothing to offer but low RTPS. I have at the moment given up on on offshore cryptos - because of the hassle of buying / sending crypto. My last dep to an offshore took around 2 hours to land .... with 3dice using BCH its pretty much instant or within 10 minutes or buying one of those vouchers - cant remember the name but easy to purchase online and instantly added to your balance on deposit. I do though wish 3dice could have found a way to offer more standard deposit methods but suppose its an impossibility these days.

Still its my only goto place now and as always never issues ever with support or cashouts and no anal SOW!

That's both lucky and unlucky at the same time!

I just haven't seen the Gargantoon do anything impressive yet, where do the big wins come from on Reactoonz? Is it the Gargantoon or really nice setups on the mini-bonuses?

I tend to just leave balances in my Personal Safe from one session to the next or even one month to the next, since I know I'll be playing there again within a short period of time. I've never had any problems using crypto to deposit and BCH is usually pretty fast to be processed.

As for Berrini's Fortune and the five scatters, did you see this I posted over in Screenshots That Suck?...... - Screen Shots that Suck! - Page 253 - Casinomeister Forum

Pretty sure all those big wins I posted were from Gargantoon - but they were a couple of years ago, so I can't be 100% sure.

Was on this one - Gargantoon linked up 16 pinks (about 1:05 in):



That was 784x = the second shot I posted above and my 4th biggest win (by multiplier) on it.
My biggest was 1,508x = my 6th biggest win EVER on any game!

Great video glad you captured it on camera :)

TBH in a way though it sort of solidifies in my mind why I don't really like these tumble/reaction games so much, watching your video there I had to go back and watch it again to understand what had actually happened on the critical reaction, the whole thing is just so far removed from watching proper reels scroll past and knowing instinctively what the setups are that you're looking out for.

I'm ridiculously locked on target with DICE FUSION now, I've set myself the target of hitting 1000x or to completely bust out my entire bankroll trying. Death Or Glory!

I can see that the last screenshot, and your biggest win money-wise, wasn't from the Gargantoon feature ;)
