The Perfect, Ultimate Slot Machine!

[Slotster!]

<div class="bbWrapper">So... What is it?<br /> <br /> What would be the perfect slot machine?<br /> <br /> Obviously &quot;one that pays you loads of money&quot; is the ideal <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" />)), but I&#039;m talking about reality - stuff that could actually be made and put in the casino&#039;s we know and love!!<br /> <br /> * How many lines would you want?<br /> * What sort of features would you want to see?<br /> * What coin denominations?<br /> * What sort of paybacks and symbol frequencys?<br /> * How MANY features?? Simple like the Ladies Nite&#039;s et al, or What on Earth style complicated?<br /> * Is an &#039;intro movie&#039; important<br /> * Would it be a progressive??<br /> <br /> All these questions and variations... I&#039;ve got my own ideas, but I&#039;d love to see what everyone else thinks. If there&#039;s enough feedback, I intend to put together an idea for the ultimate &#039;players&#039; slot machine!<br /> <br /> You guys are the one&#039;s that know and love them the best, so your ideas and opinions are appreciated! Cheers!</div>

Loaded is a great game except for this major flaw.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">LOADED (really love this slot)<br /> <br /> 1) with a retrigger feature<br /> 2) 3-6x Random Multiplier</div>

 

[nafanny29]

<div class="bbWrapper">Nudges and hidden features would be good to have also.</div>

 

[Scampo]

<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Nudge? My Arse</b><br /> <br /> I have never seen this feature on a random slot game. It&#039;s probably the oldest feature on UK &quot;Amusement Without Prizes&quot; slots (apart from &quot;hold&quot; of course Simmo). Takes me back to the 70&#039;s 2p Bell Fruits - &quot;nudge now&quot; sigh. You never knew how many nudges you had but they&#039;d stop just as that 3rd bar was about to drop in. <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/lolup.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lolup:" title="LOL up :lolup:" data-shortname=":lolup:" /></div>

 

[Slotster!]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hmmm... &quot;hold&quot; is an interesting one, on the video slots that&#039;d be mad! Nice one... Keep &#039;em coming! Hoping to put all the ideas together and come up with the ultimate, but workable, slot!!</div>

 

[cheekymonkey]

<div class="bbWrapper">Something along the lines of Loaded and Ladies Nite....<br /> <br /> * Been mentioned already, but free spin re-triggers is a must<br /> * Top quality sound effects<br /> * Reels spinning not too slowly, but also not too quickly (just like Loaded)<br /> * Very sharp, colourful graphics<br /> * Smooth gameplay<br /> * Coin-based <br /> * Being able to resize the slot (applies in Flash versions) in the download version<br /> * Mystery win with the Scatters<br /> * Jackpot REPEATER<br /> <br /> <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /></div>

[soflat]

<div class="bbWrapper">I would just like someone to make a video slot game that takes advantage of sound and graphics capability of the modern pc. <br /> <br /> Maybe give the option of turning off features for those with less capable machines (like computer game makers do).</div>

 

[silkprint]

<div class="bbWrapper">Mine would have 15 lines . A 15 spin bonus round and a 5x or 10 x symbol amoungst the reels that shows up now and then to give you a BAM .</div>

 

[liquidsoap]

<div class="bbWrapper">15 liner<br /> 3 scatter for free spins<br /> wild multiplier<br /> and the golden goose popping up but with that damn quacker who walks across the screen<img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/grin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /></div>

 

[rtmlam]

<div class="bbWrapper">15 Lines<br /> 10 free spin bonus round triggered by 3 scatters on any payline which can be retriggered on a progressive basis. For example once the bonus round has started you would be awarded additional free spins by hitting one scatter, let&#039;s say 10 additional spins. If you do not get 2 scatters in the remaining spins your bonus round would end, however if you get 2 scatters you would be awarded 20 additional free spins. Hit 3 scatters during these spins and win an additional 30 spins, etc, etc up through all 5 scatters.<br /> 2X Wild<br /> <br /> May not be feasible, but hey I would like to give this type of slot a play. How great would it be to get lucky and rack up some really high free spin numbers while a slot is paying..............<img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/cool.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":cool:" title="Cool :cool:" data-shortname=":cool:" /></div>

Providing of course that they don&#039;t go down the usual gaming industry route of requiring users to upgrade their hardware to play. Actually, they wouldn&#039;t - it wouldn&#039;t be economically sensible.<br /> <br /> An example might be on the Harvey&#039;s bonus round. On a slow PC, waiting for the fizz to fill the screen, reveal the free spins etc, can be very tedious. I do see though that they speeded up coin counts on Kathmandu and others at the last update.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">First of all I wish MG would stop releasing the same game base with different pictures and calling it a new game, it&#039;s not really new, the hit frequencys don&#039;t change and the returns really don&#039;t change.<br /> <br /> I think MG is working on this idea (scatter spin games)... the 3 most popular video slot themes in land based casinos right now are:<br /> Cleopatra (9 &amp; 20 line video slot 3X scatters = 15 spins @ triple pay, retriggers available, al&#039;a Thunderstuck)<br /> Money Storm and Catch A Wave (20 &amp; 15 line video slot 3X 4X or 5X tornados/waves on a played line left to right awards 3, 10, 15 scatter spins (all wins during bonus spins are scatter pays) and scattered tornados/waves retrigger the free spins).<br /> <br /> The games with scatter spins would be the biggest hit ever at an online casino, whoever gets this type of game out first will be so rich they wouldn&#039;t be able to count they money they make on it. Most land based casinos offer these two games in multi denom penny, 2 cent 5 cent etc with a max bet of 20 coins per line and accoring to the casino people I&#039;m in contact with they have to empty the BV&#039;s 2 to 3 times a day.<br /> <br /> I&#039;d like the option to play Thunderstruck with 20 or 25 paylines.<br /> <br /> Just a thought, I live eat and breath real casino video slots for a part time living, after awhile they all start to look the same.<br /> <br /> Edit:<br /> Before I forget, on the hold feature, there&#039;s an indian casino near here that slots have to be based on a game of skill. They did this by taking the regular 3 reel slot themes and converting them to 3 reel video single payline games. Each game consists of 2 spins, your first spin plays once the 3 reels stop you have to option to lock 0, 1, 2 or all 3 reels if a win combination is present. Then you have to respin the reels to see if you can create a winning combination or to complete the game and get your line pay, it&#039;s called lock and roll. <br /> <br /> It&#039;s really interesting and VERY addictive, this place is always packed. Another thing I like it the paytable is for 1 coin pays but you can bet up to 100 coins on the payline to multiply those wins up to 100X. So if 3 5X symbols pays 2000 credits then if you&#039;re betting 10 you get paid 20,000 credits or bet 100 and get paid 200,000 credits. <br /> <br /> Microgaming should check into this for the lagging 3 reel slot revenues, makes players think they&#039;re getting a little more bang for the buck and gives the illusion that they actually have an effect on the outcome of the game.<br /> <br /> Ok hopping off the wishlist box now <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/grin.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-shortname=":D" /></div>
