How does this work then?......
Just a thought about this slot.
It has three bonus rounds, all of which are triggered by the usual three scatters. They run in sequence, so trigger one is Round #1, trigger two is Round #2, and trigger three is Round #3. Then trigger four is Round #1 again, and so on.
Round #1 is the tee shot, the further the ball goes the more cash you get, prize varies from 25x stake to 65x stake.
Round #2 is the approach shot, closer to the pin the ball gets, the bigger the prize. Pay range seems about the same as Round #1.
Round #3 is free spins. 10, 15 or 20 free spins at 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x stake. Free spins can be retriggered.
Now here's the bit I'm confused about. On the face of it, Rounds #1 and #2 aren't that great, the pay range is clearly capped at a maximum of 65x stake (maybe 70x/75x, but certainly no more than that).
Round #3 should have the potential to go much bigger, 20 free spins at up to 5x multiplier and can be retriggered.
So what's to stop the player simply dropping down to one winline at a single 0.01 coin, getting Rounds #1 and #2 out of the way, and then upping to 40 winlines at their preferred coin size and coins per line for Round #3?
It is possible because when I nearly exhausted my bankroll I just played out the few pence I had left and ended up at a 9p spin (instead of a 40p spin), I got a scatters trigger on a 9p spin (the prize was adjusted accordingly) and it did indeed move to the next round on the next trigger back on my normal stake. (I re-deposited and carried on, I just wanted to make sure I had a zero balance before depositing again in case I had any bonus wagering 'stuck'.)
The other reason I'm thinking about this is that I've now played over 13,000 spins on this slot in the last 48 hours, and must have had the free spins bonus round at least 15 times (probably more), and not ONCE has it delivered a prize of greater than 65x stake - or in other words, what the other two bonus rounds are capped at. (This even held true for 20 free spins at 4x stake, and also when I had a retrigger.)
I am therefore coming to the conclusion that the free spins round on this slot is an 'artificial' free spins round, and can't actually deliver the prizes that appear to be on offer. (A full set of stacked wilds at 5x pay would be 5000x stake, I'm beginning to think that win doesn't actually exist, even though the stacked wilds do show on the reels in free spins.)
