New MG slot Playboy

[lotusch]

Tried this slot today at 2 different casino's..
100€ deposit each..
€0.60 bets on both slots..

On one my highest win was €18.00 and on the other one it was only €12.00..
No free spins triggered once on either slot..

So for me a no go,boring and both slots went down down down form the 1st spin..

So this one defo goes on my NOT to play list.

My Playboy session which ended up in a full screen of wilds!

Hi all from OZ,

I somehow managed a full screen of wilds last night at 32RED on a 0.60 stake, for a return of $4860 (x8100)

Contrary to some of you, I like the overall feel of this slot. Of course, after my win fall, I like it just that little bit more. There's no doubt, it can be a very tough slot to beat - I think it's fair to say that this statement applies to all slots though at one time or another, especially when your luck is out.

My starting balance was $690, and I deposited another $200 later on, so $890 deposited in total. About half of my starting bankroll was accrued from previous winnings on my first 2 sessions on the same slot. I had a long session planned, some extra gaming cash at hand, and wanted to give myself a decent chance at a nice hit. I low rolled throughout my session never really feeling comfortable to increase my bet size, despite having a relatively healthy bankroll. Just wasn't confident enough that my luck would hold on larger bets. I applied the logic whether rightly or wrongly that a modest stake size would imply longer game play, hence more features, and perhaps a higher chance of landing an extra nice win. My best hits preceding the big one were two x900 - 1000 hits, both on a 0.30 stake. These wins gave me good play time, and some confidence in the game and feature set. Not surprisingly though, given the high variance level of the slot, a decent chunk of those wins eventually went back. It was a slow (not too slowly though, as the reels can spin fast), and a fairly predictable decent in my balance. In the final stages of play, when I was pretty well over it, I decided to up the bet to 0.60 with my balance sitting on about $430, in the hope that I could trigger a feature and perhaps win back some of my $$$ dropped along the way. The plan was to play out $30 at a 0.60 stake, and then collect $400, if no luck, and then try again another day.

After dropping about $10 I hit my first 0.60 feature and selected my personal favourite Sofia (running wilds) which returned a whopping 0.10! That didn't bother me at all A short time later, whilst I was still getting over being annoyed by the super lame 0.10 win, I triggered my second feature, and again went with Sofia. The first 12 spins were dead, but on spin 13, Sofia came through with the goods big time. The entire screen lit up with Playboy symbols, to my amazement. I couldn't believe it, as I knew that getting any more than three wilds would itself be a mission. Watching the credits roll over to 486000 was somewhat of a surreal experience. There was absolutely no indication or feeling preceding this win that I was in for something nice, let alone a max win for the stake placed. I was caught completely off guard, and I really thought my luck was dead for the night. So in the end, an amazing outcome for me.
I suppose that sums up high variance. You can win virtually nothing over a long period of time, but suddenly, seemingly out of nowhere the big drop can come. I actually achieved a zero win on 0.30 in the same session.

On the whole, I have to say that that the slot was relatively generous in terms of free games triggered. I think the longest I had to wait was about 260 spins for 3 scatters, but on average I was triggering the feature every 50-100 spins, which isn't too bad for a high variance slot. I know this won't always be the case, but my three previous sessions in the past week, since the release of the slot, have provided a similar experience. In fact, my first $10 deposit, within an hour of the games release, kept me going for at least 2 hours, and in that time I unlocked all the features bar the last one (The Wild Night Feature)

A full screen of wilds on the Playboy slot is comparable to a full screen of wilds on TSII, TFROL and IR, only the return is less. Note that the win amount achieved by attaining a full screen of wilds in the Running Wild Feature (Sofia) is equivalent to the win amount achieved by attaining a full screen of wilds in the Wild Night feature (Jillian). The added bonus of the running wild feature, which makes it my favourite feature, is that all the wins are doubled when wilds substitute, not the case in the Wild Night feature. And most importantly, you can still win the max prize for the stake placed. Even 4 wilds with double wins equate to a very nice return, especially if at least one of girls pops up in the combination.

Hopefully my experience will provide a little encouragement and hope to those of you who haven't had much luck gaming in recent times, and for those of you who are thinking of giving the Playboy slot a run for the first time. Naturally, a win like mine is rare, and won't come along very often, but the point is it can happen if your very lucky, believe it's possible, don't lose hope, keep at it, all the while doing your best to keep it real by setting sensible gaming limits - not always easy to do.

I'm aware that my win pales in comparison to some of the wins achieved online, but for what it is, and the small size of the stake, I'm very happy. On the whole, I haven't been very lucky of late, so the timing and the size of this win helps justify to some extent the time and effort spent chasing those extra special wins. Suffice to say, I cashed out right away, and it should be in my bank account tomorrow.

I have a screenshot of my win, and I will be happy to share it with the forum, if member(s) would like to see it.

Cheers, best of luck, and happy gaming

Congratulations on your huge win Hydr0! Glad to see someone is having the better side of the coin on this game so to speak. Now just enjoy the win and don't go all trigger happy and play it back

And by all means if you have a screenshot of the win, please do share in the Screenshots-O-Rama section. I for one would love to see it

 

[Simmo!]

I quite like it actually. Nicely balalnced although that 2nd feature with wilds that build up is waaaayy high variance IMO! This is a 240x win on the 5x feature.

Hey m8,

Many thanks 4 congrats!

Hey m8,

Many thanks 4 congrats!

Here it is, hope you and the other forum members who have an interest in this slot enjoy it

Damn, very nice hit congrats. I got excited when I seen 3 full reels, your heart must have been in your mouth once the 4th landed and then to see that strip fly down on the 5th.

 

[Jasminebed]

That is truly awe-inspiring. Took a really long time before we saw one on TSII, and I think we've only had one posted here, and only one on IM as far as I know.

I've managed to at least reach the Sophia, so there's hope for me too!

Enjoy your win. I admire your discipline playing such small stakes with a healthy balance. Guess it's a good way to keep it healthy!

 

[Hydr0]

Damn, very nice hit congrats. I got excited when I seen 3 full reels, your heart must have been in your mouth once the 4th landed and then to see that strip fly down on the 5th.

Cheers mate, I appreciate it.

Yep, my heart skipped a beat or two after the 4th reel hit.

I heard the tell tale rushing sound the reels make when the running wilds are seemingly nearby (an illusion in most cases), and the first 4 reels spun quickly producing the full stack of wilds to that point. I was wrapped at this point, but I knew what one more meant.

Then came reel 5....

This was sheer torment, as the reel spin speed slowed right down and spun for what seemed like an eternity. For those of you who have played the running wild feature, you know what I mean by this. I figured at this point that I had virtually no hope of hitting the last reel wild, as my feature stats to date show that in most cases a slow spin, with wilds showing at the commencement of the spin results in no stacked wild on that reel. At the same time, I reflected back to a few instances where a slow spin saw the wild disappear only to come back and then stick, so there was a glimmer of hope after-all; amazing what goes through your mind in just a few seconds.

Given that the last wild equated to the jackpot, or the max win for the stake placed, I wasn't holding my breath and yet, ironically, I actually was. When I saw the reel arriving to its stopping position, and the wild coming back around, my eyes widened, my heart skipped another beat, I gave the notebook screen a solid slap, and then bang, it was there - a full screen of wilds!

After that, well.... you can only imagine, it was a combination of :notworthy

Won't be forgetting this win in a hurry, that's for sure

 

[Hydr0]

Thanks Jasmine

Interesting, I feel just a little bit privileged if that's the case. Maybe I'm the first in the world to hit the full screen of wilds on this slot?
That would be a little bit

With regards to low rolling with a larger bankroll, it depends on what type of slot I'm playing. Usually I attack high to very high variance slots with a modest stake size. My starting bankroll varies from the min. deposit up to whatever I'm comfortable with. If I'm feeling confident, I sometimes up the bet and give it a fair run. If things look up, I'll stay on the higher end for a while, otherwise I'll drop back to low rolling tactics, slog it out, and hope for the best.

Cheers

My experiences thus far have been OK on the Slot. My very FIRST feature yielded about 600x bet (4 wilds on reels 2-5) in the Kimi feature. The next feature was over 100x bet.

It seems that the base game tends to chuck less bigger hits than IR, TSII and TFROL. To be quite honest, I prefer it to IR at this moment. I think IR (Although I love it) is a greedy Slot with Big Hits being VERY rare.

Game play is smooth and Turbo Play is a pleasure to spin. I like the Slot... WTG MG!!

Playboy Glitch

Gave the slot another quick run earlier tonight at 32Red. After a few spins in, my balance went crazy with 8's, my stake was set to zero, and the game froze. After closing and re-opening the game, it was back to normal.

Also, if you look closely, there's a white curved arrow on the AUTO PLAY button.

I've never seen a glitch like this in any online slot. Anyone else had this happen to them before?

Note, I haven't reported the temp. glitch to CS. Perhaps I should?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I've yet to commit any real cash to this but having had a decent kick around with it in free money mode I'd say it's a reasonable addition to the high variance 243-line stable.

Aesthetically it's very pleasant, nice to look at and listen to, I'm not sure I miss the Wild Desire equivalent too much, since it's almost always a disappointment on IR and personally I tend to feel a bit 'cheated' if I have a session on IR and don't get a Wild Desire. Incorporating the functionality of Wild Desire into a selectable bonus round and lumping the RTP into that area makes good sense to me.

The Running Wilds feature is a nice hook too.

Doubtless it has the same 'session from hell' potential that all these high variance 243-liners can dump on us if the mood takes them, but it's nothing unique in that regard.

I'll keep an eye out for the next 100% match on 32Red's dish of the day promotion and give it a go with real money.

I actually really like Dr Watts Up, but each to their own I suppose.

I meant to post about this horror show of a slot last week but I forgot, so I'll do it now

First off I should state upfront that this slot bust me out when I was in a massively EV+ position, so I'm ill-disposed towards it for that reason, but it's still a shit slot. (I took the periodic 200% up to £20 offer that 32Red send me, hit a juicy win on Bust Da Bank (which I really like) and moved over to Dr Watts with a £130 bankroll and about £500 to wager, and ended up busting out, I asked 32Red for my stats, my RTP on Dr Watts was 80.6% over the best part of 4000 spins.)

Anyway, the main Dr Watts three scatters bonus round is capped at 35x stake as far as I can tell, I hit it plenty of times and never once did I get an offer better than 35x, now I can't say for sure if there's a bigger win than that in there because the paytable doesn't actually tell you what the possible pays are. You'd think with it paying so badly it'd turn up very regularly, but I went several hundred spins on more than one occasion without seeing it. This round can only be triggered by three scatters as the symbols themselves are only on reels 1, 3 and 5 - this is significant.

The other problem is with the other bonus round, which is the free spins round. This is triggered by three, four or five scatters with the free spins symbol. More scatters equal a bigger triggering pay and more spins in the round itself. (Five scatters is a pretty decent pay.) The round itself turns one full reel wild per spin for 15-25 spins, but there's no multiplier going on or anything like that, and the reels seem to be the same as the base game, no stacked wilds or suchlike or special symbols.

The absolute clanger that MG have dropped with this free spins bonus round IMO is that the single wild reel does NOT substitute for the Dr Watts three scatters bonus symbol, or the free spins scatters symbol.

So then, let's say the wild reel is reel 1, 3 or 5 on a free spin, (it chooses the wild reel before the spin itself), you IMMEDIATELY KNOW that it's impossible to get the Dr Watts bonus round because his symbol only appears on 1-3-5 and the wild reel doesn't substitute for it, so as soon as you see reel 1, 3 or 5 go wild you know you can't get the Dr Watts bonus before any of the reels have even stopped spinning. Of course the slot will happily drop the scatter symbol onto either of the other two reels it can appear on, effectively blocking a stop on that reel with a useless symbol. This happens ALL THE TIME and it's really annoying.

And there's a very similar problem with the free spins scatter symbols as well, because the wild reel doesn't substitute for that either, so it's literally impossible to get five free spins scatters during free spins themselves, so that pay is impossible to achieve during free spins, 'cause you've always got one reel wild, and whilst the pay for five scatters is pretty good, the pay for four scatters is far less so.

What this means in practice is that during free spins, TIME AND TIME AGAIN, you will see chunks of the reels cluttered up with useless fucking Dr Watts scatter symbols and free spins scatter symbols that can literally pay nothing in the case of the Dr Watts symbols, or are 'capped' at four scatters in the case of the free spins symbols.

It's a mystifying design decision, insofar as MG appear to have explicitly designed a bonus round that 'blocks' itself all the time, and when you add in the fact that there are no stacked wilds on this slot at all, and even the top 5OAKs are very uninspiring, you end up wondering where the hell the pays are going to come from.

I did try and work out what the 'best' combination in free spins would work out at, with the single wild reel, a wild symbol on the other four reels, and whatever other pays that would make, and it didn't seem to add up to much, about 1000x stake or something like that, plus it'd be an incredibly rare hit too. In reality you're doing incredibly well to hit 100x stake on the bonus round, and the pays in the base game are just laughable.

I'd peg this slot as low variance, and it's absolutely fucking dire too - will never play again. Looks and sounds great, but the cack-handed design leaves it dead in the water - I honestly don't think they finished it off properly, or play-tested it properly.

Total shovelware.

I agree. I played this for an hour on freeplay when it went live, and it was the biggest crock of sh!t I have seen in years from MG. No redeeming features (no pun intended) and tedious to watch. I pretty much came to the conclusions you did very fast.
This brings me to my question - Chopley, you have taken some miserable beatings recently so why can't you disappoint yourself for free when a new slot appears, rather than pay to be disappointed later? I have never spent a single penny on this crud, and never will. It's even worse then the Megadeth one, and IGT's 'Pamplona'.

Generally speaking I would check a slot out in freeplay mode first but it was such an insanely EV+ position to be in, and a scan over Dr Watts' paytable and game rules made it pretty clear it was a low variance affair, so I honestly thought it was impossible to bust out from the position I was in low rolling at 30p per spin

At the end of the day it was only £10 of cash at stake, just annoying to see a good position go west in such horrible fashion.

But yes, as for the slot itself, someone at MG's Quality Control Department (assuming they actually have one, and you have to wonder....) really needs to ask some questions.

I've become a Playboy fan over the weekend. Nice hit over at Bet-at



and a great one at 32Red I don't have a screenshot of, but had two great hits in one bonus round on Sophia, for a $805 return on a 90 cent bet. Had a ton of features. lots of 5OAKs and finished nicely up on the slot.

Downside of variance struck at Guts, as I proceeded to lose around $70 on .30 bets in order to hit my first feature. I'd hoped to low-roll to open the second achievement, but a few more bucks and I had to admit defeat.

In just a few instances of playing it, I've had better hits that IM has delivered over thousands.

Dr. Watts Up is just ghastly. I don't mind low variance, but give me frequent features if the bonus round is low paying please. Suprisingly hard to get low paying 5 OAKs even.

 

[Simmo!]

I've played it a lot over the past 4 days and I love it. IMO the best of the 243-line bunch. Had some big old wins of 100x + in the process plus some mean streaks of course but overall a big from me.

The Running Wild and Wild Nights features are very good (the RW pays nothing most times but can go mental every now and again when the stacked wilds land - very, very, very high variance) and similarly with Wild Nights feature throws out some decent hits - had 3 wild reels last night on one spin.

Also, when all 4 are unlocked and you join the "platinum club", the 4 ladies get nakid in the free spin selector screen LOL. Well, tastefully anyway. Which is just as well 'cos there is sod all else that I can see anyway

More like Dr WattTheF*ck

Appalling I agree.

Playboy is interesting.....its possible to hit the biggest pay only on features 2 and 4 right? I.e. screenfull of wilds. I wonder if choosing the other features means a lower TRTP? Or is the TRTP identical but the variance altered? Hmmm. Just doesn't sit right with me that you cannot get the max payout until you hit the feature game at least 5 times, unlike IR etc where you could hit it on the first spin.

Megadeth....absolute tripe. Would rather shave my bollocks with Susan Boyle's chin stubble than play that slot again.

Hi hi

I found this machine a bit of a pig at first. Took my £100 down to £30 with just couple features. However, by time got to rolling wilds I had clawed my way up to £130 ish. The rolling wilds didnt do it for me, they must be all or nothing, I got nothing so went back to the first feature which paid out £30 to £70. I mean £1.60p on rolling wilds, and that was off the first win line, so nothing off the feature, pisses me off that when waited so long. Still strangely addictive machine, even with its limited features..... Went back to IM but that shafted me in the end....

Just doesn't sit right with me that you cannot get the max payout until you hit the feature game at least 5 times, unlike IR etc where you could hit it on the first spin.

I wonder if the maximum combination of 5xwilds with the other high paying symbols in view, multiplied by 5, might come quite close to that maximum payout for 5 reels wild? Likewise the rolling reels I'd say it's quite likely that if you get those reels lined up in the best possible positions the final payout could start approaching that 5 reels wild because you could, for example, get many multiple-5oak-(some-with-wilds) hits at the maximum 5x multiplier all off the same spin...

I have to say the 'running wilds' feature has been massively cruel to me so far as well, the only one I have not seen even a moderately good bonus round from - the 'wild night' is really disappointing if you don't get a single wild night in the whole 25 spins too but I also saw 5 in one bonus round too, mostly 2 reels wild and all paying out between 10-100x bet ...

 

[Rugger00]

Still working my way thru the first bonus. After about 1000 spins only got the bonus three times. This game can go thru long spells of no wins. Also since I am still news to this what does 5OAKs stand for again.
