More or a reassurance post than a rant buddy, can't complain after the November I had but boy oh boy it feels 10x as bad when the cold period kicks in after my best 'roll' since I started on this deadly road!
The 400% only cost me a tenner and gave me 2 hours play so all good there, was was a bit of a pisser is that I've never forged Excalibur and managed it on last roll, getting all excited (Tomb Raider II style) to end up with 15x!
With regards to IR, last time I played at Thrills, I had the full choice of characters for the bonus round, opening the game to see the bet on £3.00 I knew before I started exactly what had happened so was stuck with the Amber feature which I NEVER choose on regular sites.
Also looking at your earlier Avalon II Screenies got me rather hungry for a taste of something similar
Edit: almost missed it but yes, I have been VERY lucky on the Untamed games and had some monsters, best was roughly a balance increase from £100 to £900+ in 4-5 0.30p spins on Bengal Tiger @ Splendido a couple of years back, 'save-a-wild' could not have dropped any more perfectly!
