Top Game and an extra monkey in Crazy Jungle

[maphesto]

@topgame:

As you can see we all wonder why there even is a monkey on the fifth reel.

We now know that the monkey only pay at reel 2-4.

When I started the thread I asked this:

Why is there a monkey on the fifth reel when monkeys only have a "paying roll" at reel 2-4?

As we now also know there has been an earlier paytable where there was a monkey on reel one.

But with the current paytable there is no need for that monkey. It is annoying, I mean what if I have 4 lions on reel 1-4 and that useless monkey is on the fifth reel?

Just replace the money with a low paying symbol like avocado. Or with a lion, scatter or extra wild..

I like the game and I will continue to play it.

However, it`s kind of depressing to sit here and read forum threads during christmas..

Merry christmas to you!

And I have sent you a message, David!

I had been loyal to Top Game since I had started with them back in June, even when I discovered the missing wilds on Diablo13 and then the missing pistol on Fandango. When I first started playing at TG, the play was extremely loose and you could play on $25 till the cows came home. Then after the wilds were put back on Diablo13 the play has been very tight where before I would hit the 5 Books or 5 blue symbols fairly frequently, now since the adjustments to the slot I have never hit more than 3 blue symbols again. They did make some good changes like the free spins, which used to be "1", now is 13 and the bonus round to pick the chamber now has an increased win depending on how many wizards you get from what it used to be.
On Dougies Delights, the stacked baseballs used to pay for one symbol on the first reel, not it doesn't.
So there are many inconsistancies with most of the slots they still have excluding the new ones.
I have for the time quit playing Top Game for the reason that now you have to have a much bigger bankroll to even get a good session out of them anymore and I simply don't have it. Which is to bad because I really thought I had found a casino that unlike all the others still gave the player, even the micro players a fair chance, with the exception of the stupid progressives. But this is not the case anymore, they are following suit with all the other casinos so that the "RTP" that a player will see mostly now is the penny, nickel and dime wins and the $1 plus wins are like trying to find unicorns.

Hi All,

Ok so my last post might have caused some confusion so I just wanted to clarify.

The actual game is the same at all casinos, the payout table of which a screenshot was posted which differs from the current paytable.

Since im still not sure where/when that screenshot was taken it would seem to be either an old screenshot and/or a TG client had not updated their paytables on a site.
Hope that helps clarify things.

On another note this will probably be my last post before xmas so I would just wish you all a merry xmas

So which screenshot are you saying is an old one or not updated? The original posters screenshot of the monkeys paytable posted on 12-18 matches the paytable screenshot submitted by Sicnlayc on 12-24, Wildfires screenshot doesn't match either of these two.

The screenshot I am showing is from Thebes Casino.

Rather than dismiss this as an old screenshot, why not take a more proactive approach and communicate with your clients to check exactly what versions of their games they currently have promoted and in live play. Also the issue with the monkey on the 5th reel needs to be addressed as this is really starting to undermine player confidence in your games.

A further caveat not mentioned at all in this thread is the scatter. Silcnlayc has his screenshot showing 5 free spins for only 2 snakes.
Below is the image taken from the link above, just incase it magically disappears. Note how the scatter payout is also different.

I hope this clarifys things for you too, from the players perspective.

I never used to look at a paytable but boy does this change things for me. I hit the snakes a lot for the free spins on reel 1 and 5...at the casino I played at (Gold Vegas). I never realized just how much of a change software operators change without making players aware of it..how in the world can they justify these differences for the same software operator and games???

Now there is a new thread about the missing jackpot money at topgame casinos here!

This thread is just about Crazy Jungle!
I have found out that they have changed this game a lot more than i earlier thought. I wonder when they changed it?

I played Crazy Jungle a lot at different Top Game casinos from may to aug 2009 and there was only a scatter snake at reel 1 and reel 5. The bonus game was triggered when the monkey was on reel 2-4 on a paying line.

Only once I saw the strange monkey on the fifth reel and it was june 27 at Rome casino.

The situation now is:

Bonus game: When hitting monkeys on a paying line on reels 2-4.
Free spin (only 5): When scatter snake is on reel 1 and 5.
Jackpot: None, it`s removed!

I found an earlier version of the game on youtube! It`s completely changed since then! Look!



As you can see there was easier to trigger the bonus game and you had the possibility to get more free spins than 5.

I think that the Top Game rep here on the forum is the member thebescasino on YouTube! Correct me if I`m wrong here David!

The things that make me wonder is:

1. The game was completely changed several months BEFORE they claimed the Jackpot was hit.

2. They have removed several "winning" features: A lot of free spins, jackpot etc.

3. The braindead monkey on the fifth reel. It bothers me a lot.

4. How is the rtp now compared to earlier versions? 80%?

So this was a jackpot game your saying and the jackpot is now removed? Does anyone have a screen of the jackpot amount before it was removed?

Hey Bonustreak...no, this game is the one that they say someone won the 2.8Million Progressive on. David/TG posted about it on October 29, 2009. The "missing" jackpots are the ones in the other thread...specifically Dougie's Delights and Fandango. I'm going to reply to TG's post in that thread. But here is his post from Oct. 29th re: Crazy Jungle. Notice how they said the jackpot would be reset? I guess they decided against having a jackpot on this game as well.

Hi everyone,

First of all let me apologise for the delay in announcing the fact that there was a winner of a 2.8 Million progressive jackpot at one of the casinos powered by Topgame.

I was not planning on announcing it as I believe that the casino involved should be doing so as after all it took place at their casino. However there was a delay caused by yours truly and the issue was raised here before the PR went out so hence I will post the release that was due to go out in full below.


"Crystal Spin Casino Announces a Progressive Jackpot Winner

Crystal Spin Casino is pleased to announce a multi-million dollar progressive jackpot win, on the Crazy Jungle video slot game. This is Crystal Spins largest jackpot to date.

San Jose, Costa Rica 22 October 2009 Crystal Spin Casino announces its first ever progressive jackpot win. Wendell B. won a 2.8 million dollar jackpot on the Crazy Jungle progressive video slot game. Wendell hit her jackpot on Wednesday, October 21st, on a $75 spin.

Crystal Spin is a small casino, but prides itself on doing honest business and using the best technology. The casino uses the Top Game software platform, and the Crazy Jungle game is a popular offering from the Top Game suite.

A spokesman for Crystal Spin Casino offered congratulations to Wendell B. on her big win, and added, The progressive jackpot on Crazy Jungle has been reset, and it will start growing again immediately. Were ready for the next big winner.

"

I would ask someone to please move any issue which falls under Topgame to a new TG thread please as I really do not want to answer in a Rome Casino thread.

As always should you have any questions please feel free to contact me or post.

Kind Regards



David

So this was a jackpot game your saying and the jackpot is now removed?

The jackpot was hit in october 2009. After the jackpot was won Top Game removed Crazy Jungle from the jackpot list.

It was a spokes person for Crystal Spin Casino who announced the jackpot win.
I don`t think anyone have seen the winner in person.

Crystal Spin Casino is one of the Top Game casinos who is connected to the others in the Rich Group.
When you deposit there it will say Rich Casino on the receipt. I find it very odd that several casinos say that they are on their own and still it says Rich Casino on receipts.
