New Slot - Space Wars (NetEnt)

[ChopleyIOM]

Live support were actually very helpful, the situation was this. (TBH they could do with making the T&Cs a lot clearer and explaining how it works, for someone who's never taken free spins before at Unibet I found it confusing.)

1) I won £1.92 off the free spins which gives a WR of just £48 (25xwinnings). The £30 hit was from playing that £1.92 down (very spawny really) and doesn't count as a bonus win, and nor does any subsequent play.

2) I didn't see anything in my active bonuses in My Account because this is a 'freebie bonus' rather than something you opt into on a deposit or suchlike, as such it's not tracked as a regular bonus.

3) The same goes for why I can't see it in my account history as bets placed. (The Unibet equivalent of Playcheck.)

4) I was told that as soon as I'd wagered the full £48, the balance would appear in my account as withdrawable cash.

5) Which is exactly what happened, £118.33 withdrawable from a five free spins bonus on Space Wars

6) They weren't sure why I could only play Netent slots and will look into it, she did seem to think any Casino Red game should have been available. (This side of things I'm not too bothered about really.)

7) I'm not actually going to withdraw the cash, I'll just use it for a free evening's slotting (It'll save me a £100 deposit!)

 

[Wild Reels]

its the same as betvictor when they do the free spins promos on the net ent slots, the balance dosent show up in balance or promo cash, but magically appears once you have made the wagering requirements, can be a little confusing if you arent savvy to the brands of the machines though.

congrats on the win, i managed £13 with my free spins and then lost it all on dead or alive

Oooohhh now there's a thought, as far as I'm concerned the £118 in my account is free money, so I suppose I could have a go at the notorious DoA.

Lord knows I never hit a damn thing on the bastard when I had my intense Redbet phase last year.....

A stroke of luck, well done, a free 113 quid from humble beginnings. Maybe your lucky day - stick DoA on autoplay at 36c a spin....

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Bastard stupid horrible slot. (Took about 350 spins to land a bonus round that admittedly paid sort of alright, but I HAVE NEVER GOT THE FIVE WILDS ON THIS THING.)

TO THE BRUCE LEE-A-TRON!

 

[PaaskeDenmark]

Oh man, someone just won 13.5k on DOA at 45c a spin too!*
You really should have stayed on that slot with your 8 euros.

Just like Wobble anybody who has played on Redbet in the past 8 weeks should have an email with free spins in it. Good luck with them!



*Only kidding.

Hi Andy. My last deposits were in mid March. But no email and no freespins??

75x stake not bad for DoA.
Like I said on the winner screenies the other day, I got my first ever 5-extra spins recently, and for the last 3 of the 12 and the whole 5 extras I was waiting for a wild in top right to make the 5-wilds winline - never got it.

A bad bastard when it has 4 on one winline like that...

 

[wobble33]

guys

chopley

i just had the same as yours and 5 goes left to hit it! but guess what. i upped my stake to e0.90 and hit the 5 wilds on the next go! but at least i got a nice x170 stake off it. deposited 100 got 50 after that win played other few slots. finished the new wr now x40 not x35 as before with 500
this is at redbet btw.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well my apologies for sending this thread wildly off topic but I did end up withdrawing £223 in the end (remember this was from just five 40p free spins on Space Wars!), I called it at £223 because the £3 covers the NET+ card withdrawal fee, so I get £220 in my hand. (I don't know why I do it really, since I'll be redepositing over the days ahead for sure, it's just nice to sometimes get a hold of the physical cash I find - and remind myself that it's all real money, even when depositing with cards and Neteller and whatnot, one has to remember that it is real money that's going in.)

After that initial nice run on the Netent slots, and then DoA mercilessly taunting me with nearly getting the five wilds, I moved over to the WMS slots at Unibet and had a nice 'enriched run' - no amazing single hits, but everything I played was pretty nice (Ruby Slippers, Bruce, Crystal Forest, Super Jackpot Party), I figure it's probably looking about as good as it's going to right now, so I'll call it a night at £223 - which from a 'deposit' of absolutely zero, isn't bad going

Played the Slot again today:

Countless Blank Spins - its should be named 'Blank Spin War' instead of space wars.

Pointless Animations.... Seriously, Do I need something popping up for 5x bet?

Out of every 100 Spins - I'm almost certain 80 pay nothing. Gets boring after a while... same shyte all the time and wins are scare. Id rather lose my balance on DOA instead of Space Junk

[maphesto]

In my Unibet free spins. After this win the machine was dead for many spins, but this actually was my third respin of those 10 free rounds.

 

[dunover]

Christ, what's the 'alien' supposed to be on the right? It looks like a sample jar with a couple of borrowed probes from a Dalek slapped on the top. The rest of the little ones on the reels look like rejects from Cashapillar

 

[hoff1985]

So from the comments it's not really a "low variance" slot right? 30-40 dead spins in a row sounds alarming to me

I used to be interested in Aliens.... Since Space Wars arrived, I have been running with my wallet and hiding from the Aliens instead...

That's not an alien, it's the beam-em-up tubey thing that beams the aliens up when you zap them in the main game.

Aesthetically I quite like this slot, the graphics and sound work for me.

Anyone who thinks it's a bit too 'showy', just turn the animations off and put it in quick spin mode, and it's far more like a traditional video slot then.

Well there are clearly some decent wins in there somewhere, as it's got a decent RTP and all those dead spins will be made up elsewhere on the paytable.

OK, I see, I forgot about that, never played it since I had a 'fun' session on it.
Then again you call the evolution things 'monkeys' and they are squirrels lol....

[Tropicana50]

Just played Space Wars for the first time on MrGreen, what a disappointment. I had a run of 60 spins in a row without a single win. At least NetEnt have managed to top Thief being the worst slot now. Another one tossed in the won't play again pile. GG NetEnt.

[Nate]

Being a sucker for punishment - I decided to try this Slot again. I wasn't as lavish and opted for €0.40c spins instead of the €2 a pop from my last stint.

€150 - 0.40c spins - Gone in about 30mins. Biggest win was just over 50x bet. Lots of blank spins and full of NetEnt Goodness (1x - 5x wins)

I am now down close to €600 in 2 Sessions on this Slot... I ain't playing it again - It's going where Lucky Angler, Thief and Robin Hood go.. Never to be seen again...

Nate

 

[dionysus]

worst slot ever; I'd have had more entertainment value setting my $100 on fire and watching it burn

I'd rather have MGs 2 and 5 cent wins than 24 dead spins in 25

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I'm going to give this serious kickabout in free play mode, there may be something that we're not seeing with it.

The RTP is solid (nearly 97%) and it has to make that up somewhere on the paytable.

Yeah, we've established that - it's called 'wins'.

I agree Chopley - There are some nice wins lurking in the RTP - Most definately. The problem is the dead spins in between.

I did over 1600 spins on 0.40c bets and it ate the balance relatively easily. Im sure up to 1000 if not more were actually dead spins.

I like the game but it chomps away at your balance. I have had a hit or two on it but nothing that would make me want to go back.

Enjoy your test run

Nate

 

[dunover]

I've just played 1k spins in free mode and the biggest win was 55x. The longest I went was 26 spins without any win. Two bonus rounds which were diabolical. Man, this is dross. It's like Cashapillar with Benzedrine thrown in.

Yeah, when you get the 2 columns of wilds on 2/4 and it respins.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Goodness me, and I'm done with this slot

6000 spins in a single session, and all I can say is I'm glad it wasn't real money.

Finished down at €4340 from a starting balance of €5000, wagering 80c per spin. (So wagered €4800 and lost €660.)

I had it set to quick spin with animations turned off, just to hurry it along, stop trigger was a relatively modest 150x stake (€120).

In 6000 spins it didn't hit that stop trigger once, it did crest 100x several times, but at no point was I in profit and TBH once you're more than 150x stake or more down from your starting position, it's hard to see how you'll ever pull it back.

It mashed through the first €450 scarily quickly, but then seemed to stabilise for about three thousand spins, just sort of edging down thereafter.

They seem to have taken the 'standard Netent pay profile' (billions of wins under 50x stake) but instead of dishing them out in constant 1-5x stake pays or around 10x pays, it's far more weighted towards 20-50x pays (which is where that horrible suction can come from, without any compensating decent wins), also with that derisory MEGA SUPER WIN nonsense kicking in at a ridiculously low multiplication of stake to make it look like you're doing well.

Very poor - come on Netent, must try harder - give us a slot with some decent damn pays on it! Seriously, I'd rather play a standard medium variance WMS slot at Jackpot Party's 92% RTP, than bang my ahead against the 96.8% wall of doom that Netent appear to have concocted here.

 

[De Beuker]

I gave it a few spins last friday, but hit it in the middle ( or at the start) of a dry spell, no wins at all for the first 23 spins, only peanuts after that, after 50 spins I ran for the hills.

It gave me a Starbust-feeling, with the stacked symbols and the INSANE dry spells..

I make that a RTP of 86.8% for your 6k spins. Piss poor, but not chronic. It would obviously need a good run of the 30-50x stake wins overlapping on your next 6k spins to reach the alleged 96.8%.

 

[Mouche12]

It feels like super high variance to me - makes me think of Bruce Lee; major hits are very few and far between.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

It feels like super high variance to me - makes me think of Bruce Lee; major hits are very few and far between.

Except this appears to be capped at 1000x stake? (On the lowest stake it's 40p per spin, with the top symbol (the red crystal thingy) paying £10 per line on 40 lines, which gives a £400 jackpot, which is 1000x stake. Bruce can do 2500x stake and more, (has been videoed/screencapped), I've personally had 1650x stake and it's probably got 3500x stake or more in there.)

Also, even if Space Wars is a higher variance slot, at least Bruce has regular decent hits of 150-300x stake on the paytable to keep it more interesting as you'd expect a high variance slot to be.

Seriously, you will not get to 6000 spins on Bruce Lee without breaching 150x stake on several occasions, and wins around 300x stake aren't that unusual.

Whereas Bruce will do a single 300x hit, Space Wars will do six 50x hits spread out over hundreds of spins.

 

[Mouche12]

You're right, it does seem a lot less attractive than Bruce Lee, let alone DOA.

 

[Balthazar]

Got 25 free spins at Redbet (€0.40/spin) and I won €0.12 total. 24 dead spins and one spin @ 0.3x stake. That was pretty funny.

Thats a bit like Elements..

Tried the game last weekend, like the rest, got tired of all the dead spins it produces.
After 70 spins with hardly any return I decided to run for the hills and blow the rest on DOA, which was, as usual, happy to take it.

I'm done with NetEnt really.
Too many endless dry spells, too little wins that matter..

 

[elrudo]

I tried this slot at Klaver with 10 free spins (thanks!)
After that I deposited EUR 200 and gave it a go at 80 cents at first, later at EUR 2 per spin because it ran good.

The appeal of this slot (when it runs good) is that you know that sometimes the respin gives good wins and you dont have to wait for a bonus game so that there is plenty of action.

Biggest win EUR550 for the chrystals. Ran up my balance from 200 to 1250, and back down to 800 before i cashed out for a nice profit.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I'll lob 10K spins at this now and then.

The one thing I will say for it is that it's a fast running slot that requires zero interaction except when it hits the stop trigger.

It managed over 150x stake (just about) in 10,000 spins.

1000
2000
3000
4000
5000
6000
7000
8000  - 153x 167x
9000
10000 

Start balance €5000
Playing at €0.80 spins
Stop trigger 150x stake (€120)

End balance - €4140

 

[Nate]

Thats just Friggin SICK IMPO - 10 000 Spins for 150x Bet ??? I mean you would probably think you'd get a decent win on that type of sample size. - Congrats NetEnt - You've managed to create the Alien Version of Robin Hood... LOL.

I'll do this 10K thing a few more times, but I think you've basically got Starburst2 when it comes to pays on this slot.

I'll be interested to see how close to the theoretical 1000x pay it ever gets, I put over 300,000 spins through Starburst and the closest I ever got to the theoretical max 500x pay was 270x.

I can only assume Netent are making money out of these slots one way or another, but I'm buggered if I can work out who the hell plays them.

I quite like Starburst - it's a low variance slot which can easily help you push your balance up a bit with just a little bit of luck.

But this new Sparse Warts, or whatever it's called, is just a stinking heap of bats droppings as far as I can see. If I never play it again it will be a day too soon...
I'd rather play Microgaming's Reel Strife or Gift Crap - and that is REALLY saying something!

Honestly KK, if you look at the pay distribution on Starburst and compare it to Space Wars, I think they're very similar.

Both of them are capable of 'enriched runs' if you get lucky and hit those regular 20-50x stake or thereabouts wins, but otherwise it's all downhill.

The weighting on them is perhaps different (Starburst more towards 20x, Space Wars more towards 50x), but once you get to 100x I really don't think there's much in it.
