I've just been on VS and seen a new game called Reels of Egypt by Red Tiger. I don't like Red Tiger slots at all but I always load a new game up anyway to see what it's like. Here's how I got on...
The slot loaded and up comes a 3-reel, 5-line game with a multiplier reel on the end. These sort of games bore me to fuck in all honesty but since there were a couple of bonuses to play for I decided to play for one of them and then probably never play the game ever again, much like I do with all their other slots.
Fast-forward half an hour or so and I was down £75 from playing at 20p a spin, having seen no win greater than £2.00, and certainly no bonus. The bonuses come in on the multiplier reel, and the symbols are rarely on the reel at all by the looks of it; you get a special sound when one is and you can see it going past sometimes. You also get the occasional tease where the multiplier reel lights up a different colour, but nothing of note ever happened as a result from any of the 20 or so times this occurred. The game does absolutely nothing in the way of bringing any hope to the player of achieving meaningful wins, or instilling any belief that you have any chance of getting an enjoyable experience. A lot of RT games are like this, but this one seems to magnify the problem further, if that were indeed possible. I wish I could tell you what the bonuses are like but the game did nothing at all to make me believe that I was going to get one any time soon. I stopped playing at this point because it felt as if I could have gone on forever like this.
This slot is utterly devoid of entertainment and feels like it's been designed by a competition-winner who has been invited to chance their arm at designing a game. The base game is so staggeringly bereft of excitement I didn't even feel angry afterwards; just a little bit empty and sad. It's like they put all of their time and effort into the features and then just slapped any old shit together for the base game, and then didn't even sit in front of it and play it to see how truly disgusting it is. If you're going to have a line win that returns less than your total stake, at least stack those symbols up on the reels a bit so you can get multiple instances of it in the same spin for fuck's sake.
To summarize - I would hate to tell anyone what games they should or shouldn't play, but from about £5 in it felt as if I was just pouring money down the drain playing this monstrosity, and now I feel like setting fire to my laptop. I also feel a bit dejected and sad, not for the money lost, but more the way it was lost and the time taken in doing so. Now I'm sat alone in the dark and I need to go out and get something for tea, and I can't really be bothered.
If you don't want to feel like me, maybe don't play Reels of Egypt by Red Tiger. Or any Red Tiger slot for that matter, because let's face it - they're all shit aren't they? I mean, look at something like Rainbow Jackpots - I've never played a slot where so many wilds land on the reels without a win being there, or one that uses stacked high-paying symbols to block winning combinations. No need for it, no fucking need for it at all. Is that what players want?
Laser Fruits is probably one of the best Red Tiger slots, and it's shit. Reels of Egypt is certainly one of their worst. That says it all really.
