Nice with a new 9line slots those are rare now, but max win is 1000x? thats kinda low was hoping for a newvery high varianced 9liner from netent.

But hope it will be fun to play and not another 20-30dead spins to finally get ½bet back

 

[SPOPPLE]

Oh great another way to fill the casinos pockets, netent should die. I play far to many netent games and have literally only ever made a few withdrawals, fisticuffs and gonzo.

 

[SubzeroWins]

I will give it some spins when it's out, but not too excited about this one.

I think I see the problem

 

[rshkrn]

wish they's have done both ways win on this like starburst......

 

[jjezebel37]

Looks interesting and at least there's a bonus round.

 

[incrediblestuff]

Willing to give that one a proper go, looks quite cool: when will it be released rainy?

I was first told May, then June...then May again

It seems to be some conflicting info regarding the release date, but I think the correct date is May 22.

 

[Balthazar]

I see that the "Secret of the Stones/Muse/Thief" guys over at NetEnt released a new slot

It's funny how you can easily associate new Netent slots with specific older ones.

This one isn't for me, I'll be waiting for the "Starburst/Space Wars/Twin Spin/Reel Rush" guys to release a new one.

 

[PCJACKPOT2008]

I rarely touch NetEnt slots after years of never getting anything back. It doesn't help that the newer slots all suck even more but with Lights NetEnt has hit a new low.

100x gone without a win over 3x to start off with. Tons of deadspins with up 2-4 floating wilds per spin. Freespins after 400 spins paid 11x with a retrigger with 3-6 floating wilds per spin.

I wont give away anymore money to NetEnt. The slots behave in a way that's deeply disturbing.

(Great graphics though!)

Lights is already live at Betsafe

 

[hoff1985]

Just tried it very short, will give it a bigger try later... But it looks interesting

Already christened properly:

'Shights' - and it does.

Honestly I don't mind this game on fun mode of course I would never play a new Netent game on real mode. Kept me entertained for a little while. This slot is fun it feels a bit like Starburst maybe a little bit like Twin Spin.

I never hit the feature but that's to be expected on these new Netent slots. The graphics are very nicely done and there's that excitement about where the wilds are going to land (although from what I saw they don't seem to land anywhere of much value). Nice looking game

 

[SlotMonster]

Nice looking slot, will definitely try it in real mode

 

[Nate]

Had a quick run at Betsafe - Firstly, Beautiful Slot - As always, NetEnt are top notch with graphics and game play.

It does remind me of all the new releases though - lots of dead spins and micro wins. I had about $220 to begin with and started on $1.80 bets. My balance decreased by $100 and I raised my bet to $2.25. With about $50 left, I had a hit of about $150 then a few spins later another hit to take my balance to about $240. Left the Slot after a spin or two.

I will obviously try it again, no matter how much i convince myself it is the same as all the others (I Know, Im a sucker for punishment). I enjoy all the new games, its just the eternal black hole money sucking part I don't.

Like the very "Random" nature of NetEnt slots as demonstrated in the OP video.

A programmer can just sit there and spin hit after hit after hit as he pleases; because NetEnt slots AREN'T random, they're programmed.

All the video does for me is sicken me!

It makes me feel that when you open a NetEnt game, you are going to get a predetermined session (Usually always getting sucked dry).

NetEnt are officially on my blacklist, irrespective of the video, Ive just come to realize that their slots are rigged and not random.

I won't be getting sucked into playing "Shights; as someone else called it" because of a video showing how good this slot LOOKS as if it plays. Because we all know the slot is just going to be another money grabber by NetEnt. Very sickened by the video indeed!

I don't know why anyone else isn't outraged at the video and the person in it try to lure people away from their money by rigging the game to play flawlessly, while the good people who play slots have no chance of ever having a session like that EVER.

Just my 2 cents worth!

I'd say that 2 cents is around 2 cents too high unless you have some kind of proof they're rigged beyond 'cuz I think so'.

 

[Chipkin9]

So you have no thoughts on the OP video guy just spinning the best possible wins at the whim of a few mouse clicks?

Suppose his spins were random, do you think?

Maybe I just don't understand how he can program the slot for a few minutes to show the best pays on the slot, that could be it.

Or it could be that none of NetEnts slots are random and are programmed to play poorly 90% of the time.

I have no proof that they're rigged other than the guy in the Demo video clearly having it rigged to show the best payouts.

And before you say "If you think they're rigged why do you play online slots". Well, because I can and I do and sometimes you can get nice wins. Just not from NetEnt.

 

[dionysus]

Becuase it's a demonstration, not a session. I'd think that was rather obvious.

The OP, rainmaker, loaded the company's demonstration video, not his own play session

The videos Netent put up are for demo purposes only, they usually show the features and the best possible pay. I thought this was pretty obvious, i suppose they could make it clear by adding a disclaimer at the beginning of the videos or something like that.

I like that they do the videos this way, they would be incredible boring and useless if they just showed a couple of minutes of actual gameplay.

Obviously its a demonstration video, didn't I say that? And not once did I mention it being Rainmaker's play session, as I also know this too.

I appreciate Rainmaker doing his job and posting the video to CM.

Yes, I understand they are for demo purposes.

But what's wrong with questioning the Randomness of the slot, just because it's a Demo?

The Demo obviously illustrates that the slot can be programmed to play a certain way.

The Demo was made to play flawlessly, meaning it was rigged to play this way. I questioned that, and now I'm a dummy

 

[dionysus]

if it's obvious it's a demonstration, I've no idea where you're going with this then:

Maybe I just don't understand how he can program the slot for a few minutes to show the best pays on the slot, that could be it.

...seeing as the OP isnt spinning anything at all.
And what would you make you think the co. who designed the game couldn't create a demontration, cutting peices together, or creating a demo reel outside the natural gameplay?

None of what you've mentioned has anything remotely to do with 'rigged' NetEnt games.

did you even watch the video? It's clearly edited.
The demo illustrates the game has designers and creators and editors capable of prouducing a demonstration model, not that theyre running around rigging elements.

I guess every company must be rigged, because I've seen this across all platforms.

Any slots developer can force any result they want, during development, just by feeding in their own numbers instead of using the RNG otherwise it would take countless months of testing to make sure the graphics, sounds, transitions etc were working correctly. Can you imagine testing the top jackpot payout message on Mega Fortune if they had to hit it naturally to see if it came in at the correct time

When it is released to the public it is on the certified RNG.

There is no reason to fix any slot as the profit is built in by the maths, that is not saying that people don't just that there is no reason to.

 

[Operette]

The new Starburst

Mark my words. The casinos will deal out free spins on this one. It's cheaper than Starburst.

It could also be name Blights because it's a blight on your bankroll.

Thanks for adding your input without sarcasm or condescension.

My quarrel was actually with the programmer feeding in the numbers as he pleased to hit big wins, but when you added that parts "during development and instead of using the RnG", it added a new perspective on my criticism.

So I appreciate and applaud your post

It still doesn't change my opinion that NetEnt games are crap though!

Seeing how they have the program (slot) on their servers and created the program they can probably force those result whenever, It has nothing to do with the slot being rigged. Also all mechanical/techinal random events are programmed (well almost) if you want true randomness then go play roulette at a live table or cards or smth.

Edit: The team that creates these games probably at least have a computer engineer candidate so Im pretty certain that forcing a result like that is like making a cup of coffee.

 

[jjezebel37]

This is live at Betsafe.

Had a go in fun mode but got bored very easily.

There were a couple of 100x bet but I will definitely not be playing for real.

Yes, waiting for a win of any size would make it the world's highest GB video upload, if fact it would be in terabytes.

Don't think Dunover ever loved Netent slots gagamel but he certainly hates them

 

[Dinahnana]

I played 100 spins of lights today at Guts. I have to say payout wise it SUCKS. Oh my God is this an awful game. Pretty to look at but totally useless game

 

[RichieRespin]

In my opinion, basing ones opinion of a slot on 100 spins is like driving a Lambo from the driveway to the curb and saying it's an average (or "awful") car.

 

[incrediblestuff]

Nothing wrong with anyones opinion of course, but for most the look and feel of a slot can be measured to fit ones personal taste within much less then 100 spins...

Same goes for Lambo's and experienced drivers
Opinions are freely adjustable over time of course, that's the beauty of it!

Edited to add personal opinion:
I had a little go in various casinos with some Free Spin promo's and although i did not hit anything worthwhile, i think i will play this slot some more, as it's fairly cheap and seems just fine for a bit of low rolling. I also think it has some decent potential, but of course would have to play it a bit more to really see if it will become a favorite or not.

 

[CraiGDaniel]

This slot is pathetic, haters gonna hate, but seriously. Just another new Netent slot to steer clear of, unless you like being bankrupt.

"Shites"

 

[RichieRespin]

Sure, the look and feel of the game can be gauged with 100 spins (or less) but whether the payout is good or not based on 100 spins seems unnecessary.

But, sure, everyone is entitled to their opinion, I didn't mean to stir up any emotions on here. Sorry

No worries mate, no emotions stirred on my part, just added my 2 cents

 

[refre]

Great graphics, but that's about it. Wins in the base game are small, few and far between. I don't feel the bonus game makes up for this. After one terrible bonus round, I went for over 300 spins without seeing the feature. It cost more than 200 units. I would continue though if I had any hope of a decent bonus round, but I just don't see it happening.

Think I'll stick to my favorites.

 

[whodatrec]

I dont understand why gambling jurestictions allow such games? Its basicky not gambling at all, it just robbery. Its next to impossible to win on this slot. Its basicly just expencive entertainment.

 

[threescatters]

Terrible game no chance to WIN

 

[miso]

Mother of God, what a piece of crap. I played it at Betsafe a week ago, around 300 spins
with no feature and biggest win probably 20x bet (18c spins). I kept spinning thinking it`s
high variance, waiting for free spins, but gave up.

Then yesterday, I got close to 200 free spins from my casinos, grand total less than 5 euro
I guess. And most of that, 3.50 from 60 spins at ComeOn. WTF?

I am usually looking forward to NetEnt slots, have been kind of defending them, but must admit,
these last games are just godawful.

 

[Nicola]

As a NetEnt fan, even I have to say this game is bad.

The bonus is nearly impossible to get and then it hardly ever pays. Thankfully it not available at the majority of the NetNet casinos I play at, so I can't waste any more money

basically the same for me, bonus always pays around 10x stake and very hard to hit.
i did manage a 200x bet in the base game

 

[Dinahnana]

Got some freespins today and the first time ever I thought God no please not this This is the worst release from Netent yet. Do they even care that Netent players are starting to get quite annoyed? Do they even care?

Shights is a perfect name for the crappiest game ever released.

 

[Azzurri]

What a disgusting game!

Free spins from Guts used as I would never pay money to play this dribble. Shocking.

Any slot that considers $1.50 a big win and starts carrying on like a just won a cool million, should be thrown in a virtual dungeon and terrorized for a minimum 24 years. It's down right insulting.

Keep up the great work Netent. At this rate, you may as well just hand the slots monopoly to your competitors, retire early and grow old miserably whilst telling the grand kids yarns about a time when you were on top of your game and giving those other creators a real run for their money.

Maybe try a little harder to not make it so obvious you're just after our money. Remember when you guys made slots that provided worthwhile entertainment for more than 2 minutes? Ah, those were the days.

Epic Fail!!!

 

[Lincolnuk]

Gonna say............ Played it. Won. Got Bored. Withdrew Ill Never play it again.


Massive step backwards for Netent IMO.

Dull and Depressing

Althou thanks for the nice little win
