New Slot Announcement New 3Dice slot - 'DICE FUSION', 3Dice does Reactoonz

[sufferinsilence]

Dice Fusion will be available tomorrow on the Belgian site, means I will give it a go this weekend

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I'm 43 hours of play into it now (that's how much Bandicam footage I have of this slot running constantly) and my two biggest hits remain 732x and 492x, and by quite some distance at that. I've got through 200x a few times besides those two wins, but not 300x from memory.

I'm probably more down on it now than I'll ever recover, but it's theoretically achievable, since my total losses on it are 'only' 1690x, which I guess you could consider sort of OK after 43 hours of play? (And is probably very close to T-RTP.)

I'll keep plugging away at it (it's running as I type this, and has been all evening), I mean, I wouldn't say I'm 'playing' it as such, this evening I've been reading my book THE DECADE IN TORY whilst the slot is just burbling away to itself on my PC, if I hear the distinctive DICE FUSION feature noise, I'll look up and see what it does. (Spoiler alert - usually not very much.)

Stop trigger is 50x so if it hits that I have to start the autoplayer again, which I set to the maximum of 200 spins. (3Dice used to allow 500 and 1000 but they changed it for some reason, I suspect to make grinding out the monthly Whale achievement require a little more player interaction.)

On one of the better sessions it'll lob out 50-100x on a reasonably regular basis and your balance can hold reasonably steady, I'm actually a few pounds up this evening, and it's been running solidly for 5h20m as I type this.

When I'm finally done with it (I've set my goal as 1000x stake or bust out my entire balance, whichever happens first) I'll ask for my stats on it from 3Dice.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Another five and a half hours this evening and I have nothing of note to report, balance dropped 325x and the game didn't top 150x in terms of a win (think the best was about 130x), but it did manage to hit 50-100x on a reasonably regular basis (this is also a common place for a Gargantoon round to finish up).

I still have 1500x left in the tank so will continue the onward grind to either lose the lot or finally see this game spit out 1000x or better.

It's become more of a curiosity at this point, like a rather boring quest in a videogame that you see out to the finish not because you are particularly enjoying the process, but feel like the sunk cost fallacy demands that you see the pointless endeavour out to its underwhelming conclusion - clinging onto the vague but ultimately forlorn hope it might eventually turn out to be worth it.

I'm also increasingly of the opinion that the game has a set number of preset rounds and just picks one out of the bag every round, I can't really see how you'd even remotely manage the RTP of a game like this otherwise. It also does maddening shit on a regular basis, I've seen it get to 124 out of the 125 required for a Gargantoon more times than I care to remember, the Gargantoons cover up the symbols you want them to pair up with, it pulls Incisions out of its arse to kill off a decent Gargantoon run and other such nonsense all the time.

I also finally got a setup for a 15+ cluster on the top paying symbol, all the biggest Gargantoon had to do was land slap bang in the centre, but instead it missed by one place and paid crap instead.

It's nothing more than bloody minded grim determination on my part at this point, and the fact I can read a book or play a videogame or an emulated fruit machine whilst the slot does its own little thing off on a corner of my screen. Or just not even be in the room at all, I left it running whilst I was eating a pizza in the kitchen downstairs earlier, when I came back up it was finishing off its 200 spins and nothing had really changed.

At least it's Friday tomorrow so I can add alcohol to the mix.

First time trying it out. Starting balance 78 euro. 40 euroish deposit with the bonus code for this new game. So far I love it. Great release from 3Dice. It's got potential but I think the 1000x + are extremerely rare. My max is now about 335x bet.

Well you've already managed my third best win and I've put 43 hours into it so far

Perhaps Friday night will be my lucky night!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Right, I thought I'd get some 'mid-season stats' as it were, so I pressed the 'support' button in the 3Dice chat bar, entered my query (basically 'Can I get my stats to date on Dice Fusion please, total spins done so far and RTP') and pressed the button:

This button here, 24/7 they have live support, actual named individuals who you get used to on the shifts, who work directly for 3Dice, and who join in the chat in the main chat channel, like Jackpot Party had back in the day, if any UK players remember how that used to be:



Total time taken from me pressing the button with my query to me getting the answer was less than five minutes.

So as you can see, my numbers aren't good at the moment (21,000 spins and 88.6% RTP, from a T-RTP of 95.2%!), and whilst I appreciate random games don't deliberately compensate, I will expect this to gravitate towards T-RTP as I lump away at it over the weekend and into the future, as my spin sample increases and maths does its thing.

I'm going to keep plugging away at it, there are going to be some big(ish) hits in here somewhere, I just need to pull the ball out of the bag that contains 1000x or better

I'll go for five hours this evening, and then just lump away all weekend until 1000x arrives or my balance disappears completely. A noble calling to be sure.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well that was another miserable evening of depressing one-way downhill traffic, fortunately I was playing SNIPER ELITE 4 at the same time so was able to offset the kicking Dice Fusion continued to dish out with the catharsis of blowing the absolute everloving shit out of loads of Nazis. (Testicle shots are a favourite, I killed Hitler with a testicle shot, and then reloaded the save and killed him ten different other ways, because, y'know, Hitler.)

I had Dice Fusion running for five hours and the best it managed was 110x, with my overall balance declining a further 625x, which brings my total losses on it so far to 2640x, so I need an absolute dream hit at this moment in time to recover that position.

When I started on what I have belatedly realised is a suicide mission, I had a balance of 3560x, and most of that has now gone.

I have retained £100 (500x) in my Personal Safe to give me a last chance saloon in the form of the 100% match offer that 3Dice have added to their cashier for players to try out the new game, so that'll double up to a final £200 (1000x) that I can throw at it.

It's quite a slow game to play, averaging under 500 spins per hour (many of 3Dice's games can rattle along at 1000 spins per hour or faster), which is covering up the extent of the carnage to some extent because it's dragging it out over a long period of time.

Anyway, I'm dug in for the weekend now, so it's 1000x or bust.

(SPOILER ALERT - I think bust is going to win.)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

154x, it's not much, but I'll take it.

The balance you can see there is all I have left save for the last £100 in my Personal Safe that I'm saving to take the bonus with. (Before I started on Dice Fusion, that balance was £712.....)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well it's desperation city now, that's it, the last £100 from what was a withdrawable balance of £712 before I starting banging myself over the head with the rubberised dildo of despondency that is Dice Fusion, and it's now locked into a bonus with wagering attached.



£200 to wager £4000 is EV- so I doubt that will happen anyway, its main purpose is to try and just eke out long enough to hit a 1000x stake win.

If I had to be entirely honest, I'm not optimistic about this one.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Will give it €50 tonight and I saw it's 95.2% for us too so can't complain about that.

Had a little go in fun mode when it was released Thursday and it seems there's more (very) small wins compared to Reactoonz.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Good god almighty it finally spat a little bit of something back, out of a completely contrived pre-Gargantoon (sorry I'm not even pretending this isn't Reactoonz anymore) where the shitty little 'clone' bonus put in the perfect symbols to make a 15+ cluster with two of the multiplying 2x2 blocks, so that's £15x4=£60, and honestly, it feels like Christmas has come early, such are my incredibly low expectations with this game.

307x isn't bad, but it's way short of my 1000x target and I will continue on my mission to hit 1000x or bust out, and next month I will pretend that Dice Fusion (and Legion) don't even exist and go back to the actual good games 3Dice make when they're creating original content.

C'mon 3Dice folks, you can do better than this.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

And now we enter DAY TEN of the grand Dice Fusion Experiment, the continuing descent into insanity where reality and imagination merge together into a confusing morass of tumbling dice and constantly diminishing balances.

I'm way past even remotely expecting any salvation at this point, as I chase after a big win with the same look of dumb optimism on my face as a spaniel chasing a ball into the large hadron collider. *



* I totally stole that line out of THE DECADE IN TORY, where it was used as a description of Jeremy Hunt.

Yes, insane is how I would describe your mission. After all, it's not ACTUALLY Reactoonz...

I'll swap my stats for your stats

I'm fairly philosophical about it all, I've had some outrageously good runs at 3Dice over the years, on more than one occasion I've turned a single small deposit into a withdrawal of more than £1000, playing entirely at my usual low stakes, thanks to extended runs of good luck across 'compounded' bonuses.

One has to take the rough with the smooth, and I have now been grinding away at a random game with a house edge of nearly 5% for tens upon tens of hours, so on one level I should expect to be l losing by now really

It's not over yet though, I still have a balance of £130 and I've had fours of play today already

Oh hang on, literally I was typing this it's just done the £60 win again, and it went on to the Gargantoon as well

329x - back up to £200 lol

Keep us updated

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Keep us updated

TBH I'm expecting Sky to pick up on the story so hopefully it'll be on the six 'o clock news.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Right this is the first time I've seen a Gargantoon actually deliver something really solid. 15+ cluster on the next to top symbol pays 300x, and in the same configuration is 15+ on the next symbol down, that's 150x, and also the next one down from that which is 75x. So that's 525x for the first Gargantoon landing.

Total win is a solid 557x. I just need another five or so of those and I'll be back to level pegging

 

[sufferinsilence]

17 of the top symbol without reaching the fusion phase...

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Congrats! I haven't hit those in about 60 hours of play.....

(I'll have to check my Bandicam folder when I'm back at my main PC, I must be somewhere between 60 and 70 hours into it now.)

TBH I'm fairly sanguine about it all now, given the sheer amount of time I've had the game lumping away for, can't win 'em all!

 

[JohnSnow]

I kept playing the same game and upped stake a bit and lost it all so yeah.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well that's that then, after some 82 hours (!) of total playtime, this game has gone through 4525x stake on 20p spins (a total of £905, comprised of £720 cash and the rest in bonus funds).

I failed to achieve my target of a 1000x or better win, capping out instead at 736x (and that was relatively early on too).

In the interests of transparency I should note for the record that whilst that £720 was withdrawable funds at the start of this demented quest, it had also been built up off the back of a really rich run from my VIP match offers, so it's not like I was chucking deposit after deposit after it. (I learned the hard way with Arctic Adventure back in the day not to do that....)

I think I can say with a fairly high degree of confidence I will not be returning to this game regularly in future, if at all. There are better things to try and do, like get the elusive five scatters on Berrini's Fortune, or hit a top-tier 5OAK on Arctic during the 10x free spins round, or win a progressive on one of the single-liners. (There's also getting perfect picks on Enchanted Spins from a five scatters trigger, although I'm under no illusion as to how incredibly unlikely that is.)

Doubtless I am well under RTP on Dice Fusion (if I had to have a guess I'd say somewhere between 90% and 91%), so the game should gravitate towards RTP over time and improve a bit, but I'm not convinced I have the patience for it. We shall see.

Ahhhh well, you win some, you lose some. We live to fight another day.

That's a lot of Bandicam footage!.....

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I've carried on plugging away at this in demo play, I can't deposit at 3Dice at the moment because Coinbase have decided to be arseholes (or my bank has, or both of them have) and I don't have any other crypto options set up, I'll rectify this in the new year but I just can't be arsed at the moment.

It still hasn't done 1000x stake or better, and it has continued to play like an arsehole, but it has managed to hit a new high score of 811x, actually on the Gargantoon round this time as well.

As you can see, the vast majority of this 811x win was from this single reaction of top-tier 3Dice symbols which paid 750x.

Overall I really don't like this game, I think it's awful, and it's got a volatility profile completely unlike any of 3Dice's own slots, TBH I'm slightly amazed they've only pegged it at three chillies when Rumble City gets put in the 'gold' volatility category, or the fact it's in the same category as Sakura Shrine, which is nothing like Dice Fusion.

A rare dud from 3Dice here, if you're going to copy something, at least copy something good!

lol...If you walk along the pavement and see a 500g medium-brown walnut whip-shaped dog turd and knowingly ignore it, then 10 paces further along see a 500g dark brown walnut whip-shaped dog turd with some sweetcorn embedded in it, would you pick it up in your hand because it looked different to the first turd?

Well I never really got that involved with Reactoonz, probably did a couple of thousand spins on it, maybe a bit more, but never to the point of getting a proper feeling for how it rolled. (Plus it would have been on 96.4% or whatever it was at top RTP, as opposed to 95.2% which is what Dice Fusion runs at.)

Anyway, at least it isn't costing me any real money at this point since I have no means to buy crypto

 

[sufferinsilence]

I have this feeling that they might release a book game next

Anyway, I kinda like this game. It's much more entertaining than Legion or Sakura when we're comparing to the newest releases.
