New Slot Announcement The Final Countdown by BTG (or Danger High Voltage II)

[snorky510238]

Sorry if that was misleading, I was just iterating the scale of testing! The actual issue was due to the front end reading a second scatter on an out of view reel position (pushed out by the wild) and deducting it from the countdown. One particular reel has two scatters close together and the front end read it wrong. This set the game to be out of sync with the server, hence level 2's Wild was set back to x4 and after the 8th spin, the feature completed. As this was an extremely rare event it had slipped through the net in testing. Personally (test labs aside) I must have played 5,000 features during the build of this game and it never occurred for me or for the pre-compliance testers and then the test labs thereafter who would have collectively played it through much more.

It's no excuse and the last thing we want is to let bugs slip through the net, we do the very best we can to squash every bug but occasionally it happens and when it does we take the game offline and patch a new version as soon as humanly possible.

@Balthazar, no worries at all and you're not being, it's good that you can reach out to us directly and we're happy to come clean about any issues! We do our utmost to deliver the most thoroughly tested games we can and we as you know hold games back if they are not ready. Just talk to any provider on any platform how rigorous testing is for regulated markets, they will tell you it's an extremely tough and there are many, many test cycles, even on simple games, The Final Countdown has a lot going on, which is no excuse and we sincerely hope we never let this happen again.

Again apologies to anyone that experienced this issue first hand, the issue was fixed on Monday:18/03/2019

I just wondered if there is any particular reason why no matter where I play I have (and so do a lot of others judging by the posts) difficulty loading your games and get constant disconnections. Also why you use so many different platforms for the same game depending on which site you play. Even at the same site Bonanza has a different platform than Chilli and so on. I appreciate I play on a mobile but I don’t get many problems at all from other providers.

Extremely rare event? So you claim that thousands upon thousands of test features had been played and this problem didn't occur once, yet a few streamers (and there aren't THAT many of them) get to play the slot for few hours and not one, but multiple get the same bug? What are the chances of that? This seems like an obvious result of some very poor testing.

I had the same thought when I read the reply too. 5000+ bonuses + all the ones the testers did, not one had the error, yet multiple streamers, who didn't have 10% of that many bonuses got the error

 

[Scott1baird]

It might help if someone from BTG could count, I always thought 10-3 was 7 but BTG reckon it's 4

i
Might explain the rtp

Is it already confirmed that the official release date is the 24th of April?

I am saving my first go for All British in the hope it will give me a repeat of my Donuts win

Personally, I think BTG are being very honest about their game error. In all the years I've been here I haven't seen any other developer go into much detail or apoligise publicly about such a bug.

 

[goatwack]

Honesty and transparency are the pillars of BTG

 

[thr0b]

Aye. It makes sense as well - I've done some software testing in the past. You can guarantee that things which never come up in testing occur when you go live.

It's called Sod's Law.

The whole thing with testing is trying to break the software. But there are so many variables, it's impossible to pin down every bug.

Loving bonanza and DHV to bits myself , the latest few releases From BTG have been a bit of a let down really (at least not what players were expecting).

Is it just me or is the BTG rep becoming more active on the forum lately ... ?!?!

Well you and the BTG rep do share the same name. Maybe he's become erm..."twice as active" since you joined CM?

It would appear that the traffic lights at your local intersection are more thoroughly tested than BTG's slots at this moment. Testing to make sure that you never pay a biggie doesn't count!

Blimey.

 

[aceking123]

Blimey ? You mean fishy)
Just to add wow what are those odds all the people in the word playing this slot & choppers who bothered to make videos about how bad this slot was with glitching & stuff goes & hits this type of win. Im gob smacked. Not knocking you choppers but looks like btg got your ip & boosted your account.

Not just me who immediately thought what a coincidence then.

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

Not verified?

I see the bandit has had troubles withdrawing 5k from his last vid.

Good luck!!

 

[PMKFRUITPRO]

I’m sure you have to wager ur deposit at least once also, due to money laundering restrictions etc!!

Cracking hit btw. Amazing spawn.

 

[Siohmy]

I will be honest that, even before Chopley’s hit, that outside of the potentially damaging volatility I actually like the thing. I’ve not done that well and the last countdown feature for me went for 15x but by god, it does get the blood pumping.

I cannot get away from the likely common event of you balance going with no features in 30 minutes but those features are almost perfectly balanced.

I think this will eventually looked at as a worthy “sequel” to DHV but it very much depends on if you can handle the swings. Again, more geared towards those who have a bank roll which can handle it.

I wonder if Chopleys hit will be beaten by Casinodaddy within the next couple of weeks.

 

[mcgameboy]

Blimey.

Doesn't make a single deposit anywhere for donkeys ages. Hits bonus on the 25th spin. Wins 5698x.

Blimey? You're the master of understatement Choppers. As well as spawn.

Great win though mate.

 

[Balthazar]

Blimey.

Congrats Chopley. Wow what a win.
I never came close to 5000x with any win.

 

[Chipkin9]

Blimey.

Love all your videos and commentary chopley

"Becca you can have 10 pounds for your savings bank after this"

Lost my shit

Congrats on the win mate

I made sure she got her tenner whilst the video was rendering out, which she promptly squirrelled away in her savings bank!

The cash is still in Leo Vegas, I'll log back in and sort out the withdrawal, although I'm expecting I'll have to submit docs and suchlike. It's only the third deposit I've ever made there!

 

[dunover]

Blimey.

You spawny tw@t. You unutterably jammy git. I am green and have only just stopped vomiting.

I played that for 2 days to make my features video and never got close to a win like that, and Chopley fortune-bollocks gets 5.6k x bet on the first feature.

Make sure you take a screenie of the total and get it on the mega-wins (3,000 x bet plus) thread lol....

And finally - a huge congratulations to you.....

P.S. If they try and rip your video to stick on their Casinogrounds channel, charge them.

Yes it was almost unimaginably spawny, TBH it sort of blindsided me as it was happening, needless to say I wasn't expecting anything remotely like that to happen.....

I've submitted by docs to Leo Vegas but haven't actually made the withdrawal yet, I've asked them to remove the bonus (which they've done), I'm comfortable with playing down to £2000 (but certainly not beyond that) before withdrawing. I note there's a shiny new version of Bruce Lee which has autoplay, and because LeoVegas treat me as UK, I can play NetEnt slots!

Back to The Final Countdown, I note there is actually a purple gem on reel 6 during the 256x round, so theoretically the two wins where I had the purple gem on reel 1 which paid £727 a pop, could have been about £3500 a pop, assuming the purple gem can actually land and isn't just there for visual purposes.

I have just calculated your RTP to date on TFC - £9.60 spent on spins, £3.85 in minor wins plus £2279.20 returned, so your lifetime RTP on it stands at approx. 23781%

If I had done that on my channel, the UK supermarkets would have found their shelves stripped of Bacofoil by midday today.

Yes, it can do 6OAK purples and your good fortune stems from the fact that the 256x retrigger only adds 2 extra spins and you did it so early that you had 7 left which meant 7 guaranteed mega wins, sort of like hitting an early Wild Line on DoA.
