What's your nomination for the most annoying single aspect of any single slot?
Here's mine.
The WMS slot Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers is, like many WMS slots, pretty damn good. (Probably one of my favourite on the software.)
However, there's one perplexingly irritating thing that it does, entirely as the result of a deliberate design decision, that drives me nuts.
It has the equivalent of a 'Wild Desire' feature, you hear Dorothy say 'What's happening?' and then one at a time, bubbles fly into the screen to turn a reel wild. Each bubble turns a single reel wild.
You can get as few as one bubble for a single reel wild, and as many as four bubbles to turn four reels wild (it can't do all five).
(It's very similar to the way that Wild Desire turns one reel at a time wild, and you've got the tension of wondering if it'll do another, or stop and add up the wins.)
So far, so familiar, but what Ruby Slippers does sometimes (and it's not even that rare), is the bubble will fly into the screen but 'bounce off' the reel and then off the screen again, so you thought you were going to get three reels wild and some nice big wins, but instead you're stuck with two reels wild and naff all.
I just can't understand the design thinking behind it, that someone somewhere thought this was a good idea. (Can you imagine how pissed you'd be if Wild Desire starting doing the animation for a reel going wild, and then quickly undid it?)
It's bad enough when you're doing well, but if the slot is rolling badly to start with, having what finally looks like being a decent hit get snatched away is truly infuriating. (I've quit out of it on more than one occasion when it's pulled that shit on me.)
Would be interested to hear what others' nominations are, I'm not talking about an entire slot that you hate, but one aspect of a slot that you otherwise like, that really annoys you.
