Why? The slots you mentioned in your post are older and pretty good Novomatics. As far as I can tell the newer releases pay like medium to low variance slots but play like high variance slots. This one looks like utter crap and a money trap. If I were you I would stick with the older Novomatics, sure they can take all of your money but the potential for big hits are there but not with this slot. I guess Novomatic is going to the Netent and Microgaming school of creating crappy slots.
this is exactly how i feel about new novo slots (well most of them anyways)
their new slots pay like low variance, while still playing like high variance slot. its why im avoiding new netent slots and new novos are right there with them imo.
i can take new releases like Jungle Spirit having $((#load of dead spins because potential is actually there, but when $hit like this comes and your biggest win over 2000 spins is 30x, while still having 1 in 10 hit rate... its just a bad slot design, no other way around it.
Sure it will make money for slot devs after its released, but give it a few days and nobody will remember this slot exists (and that goes for 95% slots released in past few years).
how many new...ish releases have made it to regular gamblers top 10 lists? or just check twitch streamers, i dont think theres like 2 new slots that are regularly played ... thunderkick and elk slots being exception, all small medium and major releases in past 1-2 years were utter crap. Hell even blockbuster like Jurassic world had 1 week long lifespan
People are still playing 10 year old slots, and its not just old slotters playing old slots. And now its normal how 2 weeks after release new slots dont get played at all, and more often than not end up on peoples blacklists
Not saying stuff like Fluffy Butterflies (whatever is name of new netent slot), Cool cats, Cool Buck, Cool Clones arent going to become hall of famer... slots one day but still....
Afterall, the most played slot is Book of Ra, which isnt even available at most places and its a slot that was released during gold rush era
Luckily there are still quite a few amazing slots that are 5-10 years old, and unless devs decide to retire older slots im not going near newer releases because i have no reason to do so.
