Sorry no sound in the video as YT blocked the first one I uploaded due to copyright issues. Works fine when all is muted.

I just finished the full review, you can see the address below the video when you watch it on Youtube. Most of you will know where to find it.

Thanks for Sharon that

I'm sure she's the one in the family who's counting the money.

Looks nice but not a real fan of this "bonus bet" unless it adds something like on the Scudamore slot! In theory it will trigger the respin and the feature more often but as you pointed out in your review it might also just have been luck of the moment.

Will give it a whirl when it comes out and I hope it's not as tedious as their latest big name slot Conan

Exactly, the first 10 spins in the video were without the Bonus Bet and it triggered the Respins 3 times, which got me thinking as well...how much more often can it trigger it?

Here are the main differences in numbers. From looking at them, the Bonus Bet will make sense but it will peg the minimum bet at 0.40, not really low-roller friendly.

Thanks for this info Harry.

Now i am sure i have asked this before so please dont all scream at once but where do you get this kind of info?

Is there a database that shows these hit frequencies?

 

[dunover]

Thanks for this info Harry.

Is there a database that shows these hit frequencies?

The developer stats when it was tested pre-auditing, and these are supplied on a crib sheet usually with the dev game if you have access to it.

Game providers have client/dev areas with game sheets, demo links, promo material etc.

As I review slots (done well over 1,000 so far), I got access to quite a few. The snippet is from NetEnt's game sheet.

EDIT: NetEnt only recently began to give out more detailed info. Until recently, all you got was Hit Rate, Overall RTP, Base Game RTP, Feature RTP. Starting in 2019, they changed and added now a lot more criteria.

So Ozzy has a new slot? Anybody play that clunky Microgaming slot based on his old television show?

How long does a game have to be released for 9 billion spins to be played ?

Do you know or can you find out how many spins get played on average for a well known slot over a time period ?

NetEnt made 840 billion spins for the certification.

Nobody can say how many spins are made on a game except the providers.

 

[johnnybagel]

840 billion!? That's just in testing right? I'm gonna sound like a tool now but how do they do that? I know it's not some guy sat there clicking haha, but do they run it faster on auto for days to get it through the test period or something?

Nonstop super-fast game rounds or mathematical computer simulations. The norm is though the first as game providers have to prove that the mathematical design will trend towards the advertised RTP.

I am sure though they won't be using a normal laptop like mine for the tests.

Bumping the thread up as Ozzy will go live today!

Good luck to all who try it!

I tried it a bunch on the NetEnt client and I must say I'm impressed with the game. Might not end up as popular as Guns n' Roses was originally, but my first impression of the game is a really good high variance game with some great potential.

 

[L&L-Jan]

Just finished the release

 

[lotusch]

Must try it this weekend

 

[Jasminebed]

It's live on Twin as I was there just a bit ago. I'm actually "friends" with Ozzy Osbourne on his personal Facebook page from a long time ago. He posts a lot of pet pics and funny pet videos, and promotes his kids' work and projects, there's an official fan page as well.

I used to really enjoy the old Microgaming one.

 

[Kroffe]

Real shame min bet is 40c with the bonus bet activated.
And with what the bonusbet does, it looks like you really do want it to be activated.

This will be put in the folder of slots that will see play from me after i get a hit on something else.

I've been looking forward to this one, and I just don't dig it so far. I really like the concept of how the re-spins work and I landed them quite a few times but the feature doesn't give much of a boost to the old bankroll. I got the free spins, too, and the bonus bet gave me one extra free spin. I'm sure others will be luckier though.

It also makes the multipliers go from x2-x3 to x5-x7.
So quite the difference, if you actually manage to land a line in the bonus. =)

I’ve just been playing this and tried it first without the bonus bet, plenty of 2 scatter respins with a variety of symbol upgrades, multipliers and wild symbol conversions. Lost £15 to win £7.50 on the free spins bonus.

Upped my bet to 0.40 with the bonus bet, dropped £10 almost immediately without a single win before the 2 scatter respins appeared. Had about 15 separate respins before one triggered the free spins bonus. Got one extra spin and it paid £15 but I had lost £30.

The double cost for the bonus bet doesn’t seem worth it.
I never had any of the bigger multipliers they just stopped activating completely, I had one extra free spin in the bonus and as for the bonus triggering easier it doesn’t.

I think you’d have to trigger a bonus almost immediately to get ahead on this slot.

Was really looking forward to this slot. But it's a real shame it has the bonus bet, kind of ruins the game imo.

Agree.
And you more or less need it activated to hit big in the bonus.
x2&x3 cant compete with x5&x7 multipliers.

I had many bonuses, but not hit big in any of them. The bonus bet halves all the wins, so it's twice as expensive to play if you don't get a bonus. It feels really bad playing with or without the bonus bet, without it you never get the feature, and with it your balance just vanishes if you dont get a bonus fast.

Should have been like the bonus bet in golden fishtank, just costs a little extra, instead of double the cost.

 

[deleted_user-20231116]

Tried it a few times now, and it's absolute shit. Super expensive to play with the bonus bet on. Such a shame, was looking forward to this game.

 

[Scott1baird]

Had a bonus on both regular and extra bet systems. Do you only get 1 extra spin for the extra or is it random? Seems a waste of money using the extra bet if it is only one extra spin. Apart from nice game and kept my balance relatively even for ages.

Only 1 extra spin from the bonus bet, and higher multipliers.

 

[Jammie_Ch]

This is a cool option for gambling fans of Ozzy Osbourne.

 

[brianmon]

497 spins to get a bonus. But at least it paid a reasonable amount

137x

The extra spin could be very valuable tho due to the setup of the bonus with symbol upgrades, multipliers or wilds.

Could be, i had 5 spins +2 extra, and it still paid only 30x. Can't help but feel like a 50x bonus would have been a decent 100x without the bonus bet.

It's still too expensive to play imo. I had 5 sessions on it, on 5 different days, and ripped 75x without getting a feature every time, and none of the features paid more than 50x.

I like the concept though.

Yeah I hear you. It's high variance and min bet with the bonus bet on is 40c. They are probably going to lose out on play from lowrollers due to this.

No way im gonna shill a slot that costs 40p minimum to spin.

My stake varies a lot, depending on the type of slot. I don't play Merkur or Novomatic slots at the same stake as Bonanza, since that would ruin me quickly. Ozzy Osbourne falls under the same category as Merkur and Novomatic though, so i guess ill never play it, unless i win a lot and want to get rid of some of my winnings
