Screen Shots that Suck!

[PCJACKPOT2008]

Oh pleaseeeeeeeeeeee.

600x really sucks.

Avalon 2 collection....

Pic 1 - Morgans Keep - total win for the round (excluding the 3 scatters that triggered the bonus round) - 1.2 x bet

Pic 2 - Reforge Excalibur Up Your Arse - 5 dice rolls and 5 different amounts. Have got 5 cracks at getting a 4. And I don't get it.

Pic 3 - Reforge Exclaibur Up Your Arse, Part 2 - A rather limp and pathetic average of 2.3 "dots" per roll. Well below the average of 3.5. 23 x bet.

Pic 4 - My retarded idea to suddenly play Avalon 2 at £1.20 a spin for the first time, having only ever previously played it at 30p or 60p a spin. I finally get my first profitable spin at the 66th attempt. I haven't played Avalon 2 since. That'll teach me to get "ideas" above my station, won't it?

Pic 5 - Won 10 free spins on Avalon 2 at Vegas Palms (something to do with a Facebook "Lucky Number" thing). Amount won - well I didn't know whether to be or about it at the time. In the end, I just had to laugh.

As mentioned in previous post, I had played Avalon 2 at £1.20 a spin for the first time. And started with 65 consecutive spins where I didn't win more than my bet. This was the one that stung the most.

 

[fun4all]

Ouch.

Avalon 2 sucks though. Capped bonus rounds etc absolutely awful for the player. Better to play something you can actually WIN on imo.

Might sound funny but i had the exact same spin on avalon with nothing on reel one and same set of the rest reels

Personally, I like it. But I don't like it enough to play it regularly because it can be absolutely savage at times. I've had some good sessions along the way, but I've only had one really good session where I played it for over 1000 spins and won at a steady, consistent rate. All too often, I find myself doing a "hit and run", after less than 200 spins, purely out of "fear" that I am going to lose my winnings if I keep playing.

As for the capped bonus rounds, sometimes it can be a good thing. At least you know you're guaranteed to win "n" x bet, even when it performs at its absolute worst. When the uncapped rounds like the choose your wild and trailing wilds go against you, you know you're in trouble.

It is definitely possible to win, even without a big base game hit. But it seems to be one of those slots where a good start seems to be "more essential" in order to make a profit. Any time I get off to a bad start on Avalon 2, I usually do not recover.

Yeah, I know we can`t help it but feel that it was so close, but honestly, the game has to fill the screen with symbols on blank spins.
Sometimes it just looks like that. Since I have started playing Bruce Lee more, I am trying not to think about all the wilds not connecting to the first reel.

 

[mcgameboy]

I do get your point totally miiisooo, I think the thing that bugs me the most about screenies like the one I posted seem to happen so much more on Avalon 2 than they do on a similar type slot (243 ways, stacked wilds) like The Dark Knight. I suppose the fact that a 5OAK of Arthue or Merlin pays so much more than a 5OAK of Batman or Joker doesn't help matters either.

 

[brianmon]

There's not much I can say really

 

[polli123]

Ouch!

 

[spintee]

@brianmon I had a sesh on that other day, Had no less than 25 bonus rounds, just kept rolling in, All I got was a slap in the face

 

[goa]

That is the reason why i dont like newer microgaming slots... over 700 spins and no freespins...

 

[fun4all]

same here goa I feel your pain, 1100 spins and lost 9 deposits. No feature in that time and no money left to play.

 

[natrox]

Over 700 Spins and 2x Feature -.- First Feature give me 40 x Bet and the Second Feature 8 x bet ... This Game sucks

 

[mcgameboy]

Reading these last 3 posts really do trouble me.

The reason why? I actually was doing quite well in terms of getting features. I was averaging a free spins round approximately every 100 spins. And that does not even include the numerous T-Rex alerts I had.

The problem was....I was getting average to poor bonus rounds each and every time. No worse than 10 x bet, but no better than 30 x bet.

Also, the base game play was very poor. It took me well over 1000 spins (probably nearer to 1500 than to 1000 actually) to get 5 wild symbols (2 wilds on reel 3 and 3 wilds on reel 4) on a single base game spin.

It also took me slightly over 1000 spins to get my first 5OAK of one of the non-dinosaur symbols (Dickie Attenborough's character). Across the entire session, my best base game win was 33x bet (£20 for 4 5OAKs of Jeff Goldblum's character - 2 wilds on reel 2 and 2 wilds on reel 3).

Then I finally did make a breakthrough on the T-Rex free spins round (about 1100 spins in I think). 1 reel turned wild....and 4 reels of stacked/semi-stacked T-Rexes, which led to me getting 36 5OAKs of T-Rex for a 180x bet win (£108 from 60p a spin).

Problem was....I was more than £108 down at the time. Closer to £140 I think. So I get my big hit and I am still a little over £30 down.

No sooner had I hit that breakthrough win, that it went on drain mode again.....only this time the drainage was faster....much faster.

It took about 1100 spins to drain near £140 from me. I got £108 back to give me a total balance of about £140 (I started with about £175).

But it only took 600 spins to take back the £108 I won AND the remaining £32(-ish). Circa 1700 spins in total to lose £175. RTP at a rough guess was around 83%. Not terrible....but obviously not good enough to prevent a significant loss.

And yet as I said....I WAS getting the features at a decent rate for the first 1200 spins. It was only on the last 500 spins when the bonus round drought really kicked in.

If I can lose £175 in 1700 spins (betting at 60p a spin) despite having 12 free spins rounds plus at least another 8 T-Rex alert rounds and having had a single spin win of £108.....

Then I absolutely DREAD to think what could happen to someone betting at £1.20/£1.50 or above and going 500 spins (or more) without a free spins round. Especially if the base game play was also poor on top of that.

I can at least say that I did get to enjoy the big hit potential once. But I can't help but think this is going to do more damage to a player's bankroll than even Avalon 2 can do. And that both worries me and disappoints me in equal measure. Because it does look good, sound good and there is big win potential and also great variety in the features. I also like that you have the challenge of trying to get to 25 free spins before you earn the right to choose your bonus round. But if I think that playing this slot is a sure fire way to lose money at a faster rate than what Avalon 2 is capable of doing, then this slot is gonna have a hard time getting me to play it on a regular basis.

Of all the 243 ways that I like to play, I nearly play all of them at 60p a spin. I'm not sure I will be doing the same when playing Jurassic Park.

Pic 1 - Happened in the early half of this week. Not a bad win, but damn, if reel 5 had stopped 1 row earlier an £8.50 win becomes a win of over £40. I'm almost "happy" I was only betting 18p at the time, instead of my usual 45p a spin.

However, things worked out OK in the end. After finding myself about £50 down on the session, I eventually did get the 5OAK of "Yellow Jane" with a wild in the base game. And then I got a 5OAK of "Red Jane" with a wild during free spins. I ended up with a £50 profit on the session instead.

Pic 2 - A quite similar screenie happened to me on TS1. Only this time Reel 1 was the culprit. If Reel 1 had stopped 1 row earlier, A £12.50 win would have been £115 instead. This one is quite an old screenie, but I couldn't post it at the time it happened (this was way back when a lot of us were having trouble posting screenies earlier this year).

And finally, Pic 3 - just before midday today, this is how close I came to celebrating becoming a millionaire this one happened only 3 hours after I had hit my first ever MINOR. I actually had THREE RJ wins this morning. Two MINI and one MINOR. And the other MINI win missed the MAJOR by a half segment.

Close, but no cigars. Had to settle for a couple of adrenalin rushes and smaller wins instead

wait for ages and then get this %##$*&

 

[jepulis22]

Ouch! That truly sucks! :axeman2:

 

[Valhalla]

It's a fair point. Maybe we need two threads then....screenshots that suck (the good win that was almost a monster win) and screenshots that really suck (the next to nothing or actually zero win that was almost a monster win). Or as Balthazar once suggested a "big wins that suck" thread (he suggested that after a big wine and cheese hit on TFROL I think)

With regard to simon's IR post, that really should be going into the Best WD thread, not this one. In my humble opinion.

There is absolutely no such thing in my opinion. I've been reading through this thread and what started out as a genuine picture reel of "oh so close!" shots, is turning into a shambles of "God, if only reel 5 was lower I would've had more!" pictures. Largely pathetic greed

Example:

Playing Immortal Romance for hours, playing hundreds of spins, finally landing the bonus game and winning £0 from Amber's spins; that would suck.
Not linking all five wilds on DoA but still getting 500x bet, does not suck in any way.

I completely disagree here and thanks for opening the door so I can finally publicly express my opinion about this thread. IMO it's all about a rare hit and a near miss at the same time. No one wants to see a screenshot of a shitty bonus round that you waited 1000 spins to get. We all get these on a regular basis. It sucks for you but have no appeal for anyone else.

But if you get something fairly rare (ie: 3 wild reels on IR) and win nothing THEN it truely sucks balls. If you get 10 sticky wilds on a DoA bonus and no line, it really, really sucks regardless of the 400x win because, unlike your common 0 win bonus rounds, you might never get 10 wilds again in your whole life.

PS: I'm not talking about missing one wild to get a line on DoA here (these are common) I'm talking about something exceptionally rare (like 10 wilds).

Actually I will agree with you, having read my post again. Does come across quite rude, and I apologise
I do feel the big wins we see on this thread are a bit daft (like the DoA ones - most of which I would love to get), but you're right about the shitty bonus rounds that we all get.

 

[suomikala87]

On my 23rd T-Rex free spins I saw a new animation of the beast pop out. Naturally I was quite excited - it roared out three wilds.... aaand... only 3oak wins censored

 

[polli123]

Ouch!

 

[shoust]

I should stop playing this slot(Monopoly Plus), although the bonus rounds pay alright, it takes far too long to get them and the wild feature almost sucks just as hard as IR.
This shot really takes the biscuit though...

I agree with most of what you said, I still maintain that there is no such thing as a near miss, you either get 3 scatters or you don't, 2 is not any closer to 3 than 1 is. You either win or you don't, it really is that simple.

But i agree that there are a few screenshots that could be considered to suck, like 3 wild reels on IR without a win, but even that is fairly common so people should expect to be disappointed by features like Shitstorm and Mild Desire.

Still, judging by the popularity of this thread it's clear that people enjoy the screenshots

As for your comment about DOA and 10 wilds, i have had 10 wilds without getting a wildline, and although i will gladly admit that i was a bit annoyed it doesn't suck. And as you can see it paid A LOT more than 400x.

It still paid 1695x.

Its actually on a bingo site (citybingo) sister site to costa, sing ect nether had 1 problem with there sites and always paid without hasstle

 

[sjn]

Thanks.

 

[Greigssy]

Interesting 50 line slot with a progressive bonus trail similar to IR etc ,mega high variance and deadly though!

My only bonus round in 400 spins paid this for 7 spins at X5 and 1 "ultra spin" at X20. Fecking "Congratulations"

 

[Valhalla]

That bites

It's even more insulting that it says "congratulations..." (I've seen it on loads of slots).
I realise we will sometimes win nothing from bonus games, but there should still be something different written for such occasions.
"Unlucky/Commiserations! You didn't win this time" Or similar.

What about this one all wilds on screen but not even 4 of them! I love this Bloodsuckers/Krakow skin but it can be rotten at times! It did not even complete the second best 5 of a kind either!

The other one also really annoying for the 5 patients combo 2250x line bet(during free spins) GRRR!

The "1 OFF SYNDROME"

I can not tell you how many times this has happen in the past week or so....

 

[dave1888]

Even worse on your last effing spin! This often happens to me one of these times it will be the big one though . Do you play supersuits or stickshifter? These 2 are really great games take so much patience though! But will pay off big time if you put the time in even at tiny bets !

 

[LHofsdal]

I actually have better luck on Super Suits then this damn game. I am not sure exactly how many spins I have on this game, but I know it is around 40 to 50 thousand spins in the past 12 months, I have only hit the highest paying symbol 1 time many months ago. I have yet to get 5 keys. I started playing this game more and more when a few other players at 3dice asked me if I had alot of these spins (1 off) on this slot.

But in all honesty, I see it on every slot quite often, not just this slot. Now if I could just the rub the belly of the CM member who hits like crazy on DOA, to bring me some of that luck I would be happy lol!

Do not play this game unless you are a masochist or very stubborn

Ugh,I love WMS but I hate their super hot hot respin machines so I hardly play those..
Dunno,those slots make a lot of noise,many whistles and bells when respins activate and u end up with nothing..

So WMS,love them but not this specific range of slots...

You tried Spartacus I adore that game! Easily my favourite WMS game that and Ruby Slippers of course.

The only place some of these 3dice games should be attempted are in tourneys imho! For real some of these games just really suck! You are almost safer playing double bonus video poker than some of the slots!

 

[KasinoKing]

Not played this slot much - and not at all recently. But decided to give it a little go today.
Never reached the x300 level (or anything remotely close), so just being ONE shield short of the Holy Grail was SOOOO frustrating! :sob:

My one is even worse I thought this thread was for near misses more than anything else but if bad free spin sessions also included here is my god awful session on 300 shields from the other day also close to x300 and collected the other shields super quickly!! GRRR!

 

[243 lines=daft]

Yeah I agree dave. After all a win is a win surely. Whereas a near miss is an arrow of pain to the heart.
And a 'Congratulations you won nothing' is twisting the arrow!

I understand your frustration, but keep in mind that reaching the top level does in no way guarantee a big win.
I've played that game alot in the past, reached the top stage 6 times and won 340x bet once, the other 5 times there was no wild to be found anywhere during the x300 spins.
