Are we all posting in the correct thread?

An important message to all entrants!

Please don't share the link as it is a private competition for entrants only. If we see unauthorized use of the login link we may decide to void the competition, so for everyone's sake please keep it confidential.
OK, that's that out of the way!

YES! you have unlimited funds and you can top up from the right-hand drop-down menu on the landing page!

I would be heartbroken if this was cancelled! That said, isn't it kind of impossible? We can only log in with a google or FB account, so it should be kind of clear who's logging in? Let's promise to name, shame and then burn the culprits at the stake! Maybe that threat will be enough to avoid it

Other posters noted that about the address bar in the screenies, that could also be the issue: loads of 'guests' on the forum that are smart enough to try out a couple of adresses etc.

Please don't void this Nik, but in worse casde re-do the comp and this time with unique logins, that should exclude the possibility

 

[geordiecolin]

I would guess that BTG will easily distinguish who are genuine entrants when it comes to verifying the winners.

Yes, that is what the pm said

No, it won't be voided, we just didn't want the game to go too wide before Wednesday's launch!

It would be good to hear what y'all think, as your getting into the game

 

[CC07]

I’m still waiting on my link (only sent my PM about 15mins ago though) The suspense is killing me!

 

[incrediblestuff]

I can't even find the game for some reason. I logged in with google.

Weird, did you check your pop-up/safety settings? Wouldn't know what else could be the issue - best to PM Nik with that!

 

[incrediblestuff]

So far i'm loving it Nik, no noteworthy hits so far (a few decent ones, but not comp-worthy ) but it's a very original mechanic! Still hard to know where to look, which probably is also part of it's charm, but i can already tell i will play this a lot in real: hopefully with some of that sweet prizemonies

I love the music, and the little soundbites! I'll be playing for the full comp-period, at least as much as i can

 

[geordiecolin]

It is quite different to the usual megaways and I'm finding it quite hard to work out how each spin is progressing as the hits play out. In most megaways you can see the next possible hit coming after the last cascade or implosion

 

[Mr_Slot5]

Ok got access now.

Won't be able to play until tonight as have work

 

[bamberfishcake]

OK... We are ready to throw the switch:

Could all please PM me and you will get the link from a returned message!

Good luck all!

Might be an idea to post this in the comp thread.

I am now confused as to where you want screenies also ;p

I changed my google ac name recently and I noticed the old one when logged at BTG.
I changed it back now and that must be the problem because I just saw it updated and now I can see the game

 

[Flyingslotsman]

It would be good to hear what y'all think, as your getting into the game

When you're playing you think, that's got to be a decent win, then it throws a 1-2x back at you. If I was playing in real life and waited the 200+ spins for a bonus and got 2 free spins I'd be raging! I take it the free spins are more occurring than other BTG slots?

I think you'll need at least a 5x for starting the bonus round for decent wins, I like how it opens up in the bonus round, if only I could get more spins
I really like the sounds and music, I see the bonanza "roar" is in there

Overall I do quite like it, and I'm sure I'll play it in the future and try hit that elusive monster I've been waiting on.

All win pics in this thread - just to keep them all in one place

 

[colinsunderland]

Do you have to post the big win pics or will you get getting the results from the backend?
How long is it open for?

 

[Luckyscouser45]

I don’t think I’m getting the link

 

[CC07]

Took me a while to get into it.

My brain kept deciding that a large square was a 4x4 and therefore should be a cluster of 5 when a small one was next to it...

My brain has finally caught up and am really enjoying it now.

Just had my first bonus

Yes, we check it's genuine at the back end but it's good for other players to know where the positions are. If you don't post we can't validate your entry fairly, to qualify you need to upload your biggest wins

 

[Oscar Arnhem]

My best sofar 207x

[helenakp]

Here is mine first bonus

They sent it through at 12:48

 

[bowki]

I love the game so far. Maybe I need a bigger monitor to see what's going on in the bonus but it seems to be a good game and I already had a 489,95 win

 

[Downsman]

My best so far.

 

[dave1888]

@geordiecolin edit your pics to crop out the links.

 

[dave1888]

2nd bonus on it. 162.55x!

 

[nikantw]

 

[CasinoNinja]

I hope we can keep somewhat overview of the highest wins so we don't post unnecessary screenshots and make the thread unnecessary big

 

[brianmon]

Well, I can't win anything of any significance. But I'm also not losing anything. my balance is only varying by +/- 60 (ish) after a couple of hours of playing.

I get what others are saying about not being able to see what's going on once the clusters start dividing up.
You don't get the same feeling of anticipation as with other slots, where you can see, to some degree, what you hope to drop in next, to make a win.

I'm not sure if I'll be playing it much, once it's released. But it might be useful for grinding through a bonus.

 

[geordiecolin]

Any reason why your only directing that command at me?

Yeah same here, I'm only minus 80 and I've had about 6 bonus rounds at least I think, still waiting for the 1000x to drop my way! Even 500x would be good just now, my biggest has been 45x I think

That's interesting as, we have all experienced this a bit, that's why we've tried to make it as simple as possible. Once you get used to it, you automatically hone in on win activity, you begin to know where to look, banks of color or 4 big gems next to an active cluster waiting for a match, whilst scanning what's around the edges to see what you need if/when that cluster matches up. It's not like watching a linear show, it can spin up anywhere and new areas can be smashed out at any time, especially in the feature. Just like commentary from streamers and YouTubers on Bonanza, but instead of a Jack on the second, it's a bit more involved visually, it will be interesting to see, if SC takes off as a streamer's game, how the commentary will flow...

Is what we are playing set at a very high RTP because it seems to maintain the balance so well?

 

[geordiecolin]

 

[Big Time Gaming]

Same RTP as the release, it has a very fluffy base game!

Honestly, I can't see this being a streamers delight, I can almost hear the bandit, "250 spins, hasn't taken much of my balance to be fair, but we're in, with 2 spins at 3x." I don't see that as entertainment for the subscribers, where as he has a thing for money box he loves a gamble. That's only one streamer of course and my opinion.

Curious, do you develop games based on the target audience? Streamers, regular Joe's etc?

 

[interlog]

2nd bonus lol

Could I have the link plz. I qualified in the top 50 PM sent

 

[CC07]

Server communication lost...

 

[Oscar Arnhem]

Playing for 4 hours now,22x bonus/2x retrigger/max 5 free spins and balance 1049,

So not really exciting

 

[bowki]

A few other things why I like the game so far:

NO
- bonus buys
- gamble your bonus
- collect for special bonus (like Lil Devil)

Maybe Im old fashioned but I really dont like these features.

 

[Jono777]

I can't see the problem with games like lil devils collect feature or the now collect coins on chilli for us in the UK where we cannot feature buy anymore.

It just quietly happens in the background and then one session we get a 'free' feature' no harm done IMO!

I'll just add to the feedback

I like the game graphically. I think the clusters are an interesting concept, but agree with Colin that it's hard to see whats going on.

What I don't like, and think you've made a mistake on, is 2 free spins. The bonus seems quite regular, but the majority of mine have been under 20x, quite a few under 10x. I'm not sure waiting 200 spins, to get a 2 spin bonus, for it to pay £4.20 or so, gives people the 'excitement' they would usually get when triggering a bonus, on say Bonanza, or DHV.
Especially when triggering the extra spins seems so hard, I've done it a couple of times, but never twice in one go, and as soon as you get to 9x the gold star seems to disappear.

So, overall its not bad, certainly doesn't seem to kill your balance, and could be a good slot to grind a bonus away on.

 

[pinnit2014]

It’s an OK game but as someone else said, more likeable for wagering IMO. There’s no real hook or tease in it, which dilutes the enjoyment to an extent.

By the time your eyes scan the screen the no wins already been and gone.

So yeah, ok but lacks in a bit of va va voom

Following on from Colin; we know with Bonanza it can put up up to x6 multi on the first spin and get your hopes up, only to be hit with 9 dead spins in a row but at least there’s that up and down; with SC you’re already feeling beat going in with 2 spins and x3. Which is fine if they’re coming in every 50 spins, but they’re not.

 

[Oscar Arnhem]

598x

 

[spoo42]

So far, had around 10-12 free spin rounds , highest being the first at 100x.. one at 50x and the rest under 30x. Had a 90x drop in base game and a 50x. So no decent pic to post yet.

I like it graphically and audio wise - as some have already said, it gets tricky to see whats happening when reactions happen and get smaller. Id still give it a play though, but not for too long as it hurts my eyes after a while Overall i don't mind it so far.

Not really, as we're continuously trying to innovate and evolve gameplay. With a lot of our games, the target audience has been unknown until the game is created/launched. Risky, some might say, a gamble perhaps? Well, that's the business we're in, we all (providers) have to take a punt or nothing would ever move forward.

I would like to think, in amongst the BTG portfolio there's at least one game for everyone! At the end of the day, if we have a target audience, they like to punt. If it seems like a good punt then players may just play it.
