New Version Of LOTR (Thread re-titled)

After done few K of spins on this slots, I have to say, LOTR is dead. I for one will not touch this one any more.
MG destoryed such a good slots and made this crap one, I think what MG will find out, less people participate.
I have written to all MGs I played with, expressing my frustrations.

I think it is the time to call a boycott on new LOTR slots.

Anyone with me?
 
Well I think a fair solution would be if they brought the other game back but with a different theme/graphics/backgrounds if they are not allowed to use LOTR stuff in another slot. I agree I way way WAY prefer the old lotr, it was just everything a slot should be. Only ISIS and clones beat it for me on microgaming for slot fun.
 
I like the new LOTR because it gaved me some nice wins. Today for example i got the jackpot round 2 times within 10 minutes & in both cases the silver pot (bet size was .90).
 
This is a hate/love game for me.

Im so frusterated as I have won free spins at least 20 times since the version came out with bets from
.60 to $1.80 and have never won more than $30.00 when I get free spins I dont get exited anymore and that Dam gullem or whatever you call that stupid thing always poping up with 30 cents very rare anthing more than that.
I have won big on few reg spins. I have played this so much Im finding it boring. Another which is stupid thing is on my last free spin during bonus won nothing then that little piece of S!!! comes out and increase the multiplier what for when the game is over.
Im sure there going to be big winners on this but I miss the old version. To bad they couldnt combine all the features to gether from both versions, that would be cool.
 
The Gollum "cash award" feature is reminiscent of the old Golden Goose feature where it drops an egg with some paltry amount in it: features really should be fun, not annoying else what's the point in having them?
 
I think MG is also over using the 'Big Win' pop up. I simply hate it when you get 10x your bet and the game wants you to believe you just hit it BIG... Its annoying. Small wins are now Big Wins and Big Wins don't exist like in the old game.

Can anyone comment on the fact that the Max Bet has been significantly reduced to $6? This is either a sign that the game has huge hit potential (Santas Wild Ride has a max bet of $7.50 at some casinos as an example) or the bet has been reduced in order to minimise the random jackpot wheel feature. In all instances of the Mega Moolah games, we see that playing higher bets increases your chance of seeing the wheel.

If memory serves me right, the original MM had a max bet of $6.25 (being 25 lines) so maybe it's just keeping LOTR in line.

However, the 5 Reel Drive variant allows more than TWICE this to be bet per spin. This seems to contradict the theory that they are keeping all Mega Moolah variants constrained to a max bet of around 6 credits.

Not to mentioned Mega Moolah ISIS which has a $25 Max Bet.

I wonder if this hints at the variance relationships between the 4 machines.
 
Despite my better judgement, I played this earlier @ Royal Vegas and won, yes WON £250 from a few different spins and features. No single big win, so no screenies, but still. I may come around to it yet :)

I have been giving it a good go... still... Horrible returns seriously ... You are the Queen of the rings after all. Maybe u can hit the Progressive :)

Did someone say Beer? :drink:

Just wanted to let folks know that Playtech has the new version with the jackpots as well. I actually made a deposit to my Games Account at Bet365 hoping to play the old version. Played agonizingly slow in flash, with no option to turn off the cinematic spins.

Luckily the new 100-line War of the Worlds slot was good to me. Nice graphics, and I got lucky enough to make it to the third wave in the bonus feature.

Minimum bet is $2.00, and variance seems to be high, but I didn't play all that long.
 
Had a nice win on this last week (posted in the screenshots) 2600 for a 1.50 bet but due to stacked wilds= very rare in this version of LOTr but I often got 500 to 1000 plus wins from stacked wilds in the old LOTR= the feature is just boring and wild rarely appear in it.

Yep that Gollum is very annoying in the way it stops the auto spins as is having to reset the switch off cinematic spins every time you start up.

The other advantage for the casinos is that as a progressive it contributes a much lower percentage (same as for VP) tp your ;oyalty points.

Not as volatile as the old version but much less exciting and certainly seems to pay less in the big hits. Would play but its definitely not in the regular list like the old LOTR
 
I wonder when the next version of the LOTR slot will appear,maybe it will coincide with the release of The Hobbit next xmas or will it be a totally new slot called The Hobbit. Heres hoping its something new anyway!

Until then I will only play it when Iam ahead at the casino, where as I would deposit to play only this slot before the re-boot.

One question, I dont know if I have dreamt this but does gollum appear and throw wilds at the reels? I know he holds stacked wild reels on the first two and pulls down stacked wild sometimes. I have had thousands of spins and never seen this happen again,if it did happen that is!:confused:

He does.... :)

Edit - check my latest screenshot in the Winners Screenshot section. The reels that say 'Wild' are from the creature throwing wilds at the reels...
