Top 5 worst bonus features

[psychogene]

I hate these bonus features (from my own experience) :-

Casino Zeppelin (Yggadrasil) - Takes FOREVER to get the free spin and when I get it I ask myself 'What sticky wilds' ? Coming from someone who plays novomatics Rumpel Wildspin a fair few times where theres a buffet of sticky wilds this game I have had the free spin about 5 times now and I would be able to count the amount of sticky wilds during those 5 times on my hand even if I had no fingers.

Forest Fairies, Carribbean Paradise, Jackbots Slot ... etc (Multislot) - Alright the base game is relatively low-medium variance and free spins actually appear quite often (though 3 scatters is only 5 spins with no multiplier). Theres also a bonus game when you get 3 symbols linked on any active payline. Not so bad but what kind of gets to me is when you get the free spins the bonus symbols even if they link during the free spins don't activate the bonus game. So basically they are USELESS during free spins and are obstacles that get in the path of a glorious win line. I've had times I've seen the bonus symbols link up to form a bonus game .... but nothing. Surely they should just remove it during the free spins, allow it to activate the bonus game or make it a wild or ANYTHING other than leaving it in during free spins.

Basic Instinct (iSoftbet) - Don't even know why anyone would play this stupid slot. I got free spin once hell it was even 40+ free spins so I was somewhat excited thinking OK should at least hit a x5 during the 40 spins. Wrong! As soon as free spin ended I closed this game and never came back. Don't remember much other than it was like watching paint dry and good luck to anyone who plays this slot.

Royal Cash (iSoftbet) - Actually the free spin could be quite good but I'll never know because every time I have played this game it has sucked me dry and I have not even got close to getting free spins. The base game payout is so rubbish and so hard to land anything its quite possibly the worst slot I've tried - and I've tried at least 100+. Wont touch again and if any casino offers free spin of this particular game I will report them for being rogue.

Temple Quest - Yeah someone linked me a nice youtube video of someone hitting it big but whatever the only entertainment you get from the free spins is watching big chunky symbols fly around on the screen. I suppose it does have potential for nice payouts because of the chunky stacked symbols but more often than not you end up with a fat 0 during free spins.

I forgot to add - the absolute worst of the very worst - are features where you win $0... and get congratulated for it! :sob:
KK

LOL thats so true! Its like your teacher giving you your report card back and on it saying 'Congratulations you have failed!' Honestly getting 0 for those games is kind of rare there should be an option to redo the free spins!

the Freespins feature at the Basic Instinct slot is bad i agree but the BONUS feature can pay some nice return.

its a shame that this slot isn´t a Microgaming, i guess he she it would be more exciting, still i like when the Bonus feature come in the middle of reel 3

If there was any slot that was a TOTAL RIP OFF 99% of the time it would be the below.... I have NEVER seen so many low paying features EVER. My losses far outweigh any wins over 100's of thousands of spins. That slot is just a money grabber for NetBent.

1. CFTBL
2. CFTBL
3. CFTBL
4. CFTBL
5. CFTBL

This post is going to save me a small fortune as I seem to head for this slot straight after depositing (much as I know how bad it is, my hand and mouse are out of control ) and think I've only changed game in profit once or twice out of many, many times so THANK YOU!!!!

Tell me about it. I KNOW I am going to lose, but I still go there with the hope of winning - rinse and repeat. Poor returns all round. for every 200x hit I have, I have another 1000x in losses... .

1.Playtech- Ghosts of Christmas Past and Easter/Santa's Surprise pick bonuses it is very lucky to get near 10xbet from these.

2.IGT- 720 ways slots apparently you can win up to 96 free spins initially and up 240 in total. Crap! I've never had more than 8 free spins and never much more than 20xbet from the spins.

3.Rabcat- Absolute atrocious the feature on Legend of Olympus.It pays 1xbet if you're lucky.

4.Play n Go.- Pearls of India- collect 25 temple bonus symbols on a poor paying base game to get an even poorer pick bonus.

5.Netent- Robin Hood and another collect the symbols bonus. It can take many hundred if not thousands of spins to trigger the free spins for an extra wild symbol, and it never pays near its potential.

I've had 500x bet on Easter Surprise with only 5 lines active feel very fortunate now and there was me thinking this game was rotten to me!

Not quite "never"...
I used to play this one quite a lot a couple of years back & had a few wins over bet x100 - and the one below of Bet x230 (Spin value = €1.20)
BUT... then it totally died, and like you said - it would take ages to get the feature, only to be rewarded with jack-squit
I haven't played it for at least a year or more - too painful.

As you've proved the bonus can and does pay well sometimes.

The problem with these type of slots where you have to collect icons, activate reels or a combination of both is it takes a lot of spins and sometimes deposits. If you then get crap paying bonus round it puts you off the slot for life.

Tomb Raider 2 I've spent hundreds just to get that damn last passport to enter the bonus, first 2 picks "trap" and "trap" and game over with 0 pay.

I much prefer slots where the feature is available on every bet.

Already contributed to this thread but really can't help myself, gotta squeeze another quick one in, sorry

-Steam Tower, - omg so many features yet all pay garbage, never seen so many '+2 Free Spins' during feature I had just but what is the point if there are never any winning combinations???

 

[kirknurmi]

I'm new so ...

From games played. Been a few weeks.


1.dead on arrival or DOA like the followers say. I was amazed at this feature. Zero and very frustrating.

2.immortal romance. Nice music but zero

3.break the bank again and again honestly paid me zero on a 4.50 free spin round. Made up for it afterwards though. 300

4.batman and joker. He kept swinging and hitting adding free spins. Total win after well over 30 spins was 40 dollars on a 3 dollar bet

5. Alaskan fishing paid 4x bet twice. Very bad

Totally agree, i spent hundreds of spin at a higher bet levle, no bonus, when i decide to leave the game, i was gonna make sure to myself cuz i know i get the bonus when i lowered to min bet. i wuickly stopped the spin on a min bet and whoop a bonus and it paid shit, never ever this slot!

 

[sigothx1]

Raging rhino when its in a bad mood. 18 re triggers woop woop! ( 50+ spins later ) oh great. 14x.

 

[kirknurmi]

Well I found one that tops them all.

THOR.

Although he is sexy, I never expected this.
Playtech casino got some business from me yesterday. First and last deposit for that brand.

Free spins came, UNLIMITED FREE SPINS popped up. I was omg shocked.

One spin later two orbs popped up and I clicked the left one. COLLECT.

THAT WAS IT

Playtech is horrible

 

[Valhalla]

PlayTech is a terrible brand. I wouldn't give them someone else's money, never mind my own

I knew I had forgotten a couple of games that would have been deserving of inclusion in my own Top 5.

You've just reminded me of one of them.

That game is ridiculously tight. Feels like something that has nothing close to 80% TRTP, let alone 95%.

 

[kirknurmi]

Update after hours upon hours of play today

1: casinomester spun 92 times and paid 9 times my bet, what a waste of time.
2: dead on arrival is the most aggrevating free spin feature period
3: steam tower is a complete joke
4: terminator 2 actually had me screaming at the computer
5: jack beanstock literally came after 100 spins and paid exactly 25 dollars on a 4 dollar wager


Thor still tops the list. Still sexy though

 

[chris87]

1. On IR Michael and Sarah seem to have the most votes for being terrible, but for me it's Troy, never won much on this feature
2. Ashley on Playboy
3. The feature on Monopoly Here and Now
4. Terminator 2 feature, haven't had a red feature as yet, winnings average £10 -£20 on a £1.50 stake!
5. Gillian on Playboy

 

[kirknurmi]

Playboy?

Why is it that this particular game never works? I tried it on different casinos and keep getting an error message.

not allowed for Canadians (I think the rule is no branded games allowed)

 

[rshkrn]

I'd say

1. Battlestar Galactica
2. Bust the Bank
3. Starburst
4. All the "So much " crap - all clones!!!
5. Somehow IR hasn't even been good to me

But I guess this is a quite a relative question and the slots that are shitty for some may be super lucky for others.....

 

[kirknurmi]

What is IR?

IR?..

 

[chris87]

IR?..

Immortal Romance a MG game
