Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[Tirilej]

It was fun getting free spins on this game since it show the outcome before the scatters even have landed. So exciting.. not

 

[Harry_BKK]

One other thing @Team.Videoslots

As you might know, Red Tiger Gaming bonus rounds are pre-determined and thus the result is shown in the battle ranking while the free spins are still running. Actually if you wait a few seconds before pressing start, the result pops up on the leaderboard while you haven't played a single free spin yet.

I think it would even be interesting, seeing as VS no longer does the CM exclusives for best screenie in battles and prizes, to maybe make where a winner can choose the next battles games
Costs VS nothing and they can even drop a list of games the players can choose from to select

 

[goatwack]

Rest assured that idea will be forwarded to the Recycle Bin relevant department

[Kroffe]

A word for @Team.Videoslots

Your promo team chose an entertaining game which, however, is one of the worst for battles as it has a progress feature that opens the sixth reel after you collect sufficient ship wheels. It usually takes about 200 - 250 spins to complete the collection.

No way anyone can benefit from the sixth reel and with that much higher payouts, neither in the battles and absolutely not when playing the FS rewards.

Maybe consulting with real players before selecting a game would be a good idea.

You really think its by accident they choose these games?

[geordiecolin]

I would presume that some of the rtp is in the bonus that we will never be able to trigger

 

[deleted_user-20231116]

Quickspin has many fun games, so i'm looking forward to having them in the battles.

As for Pirates Plenty, i think we are more likely to get some money out of it with just 5 reels. It turns into a really brutal slot when you unlock the 6th.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Got a 760 points bonus on the 4th spin on Riders of the storm, still only ended up with a 1101 points score. What an absolute garbage slot and provider this is, screwed over every single time.

I don't have a tin foil hat, but i think i'll have to make one soon.

TBH I have had some massive hits on Riders, its a tad volatile tho.....

 

[Harry_BKK]

Yes, I am pretty sure the people in the promo department have no clue whatsoever about slots.

 

[goatwack]

It appears they've taken heed of our Wishmaster lamentations and found the next best thing

By 'our' I mean everyone else of course, and by 'next best thing' I actually mean worst

 

[Kroffe]

Its actually easier to trigger the bonus without the 6th reel.
When you unlock that, getting a bonus becomes freaking impossible.
Almost.

Agree, the slot seems to turn more volatile with reel 6 active but a large chunk of the RTP is attributed to it. Hence, the very small chance to hit a mega win is taken off in the few FS, plus you are playing them with an effective RTP of maybe 70-80%.

I thought it balanced out the rtp with the bonus being easier to hit, and more basegame-hits until you unlock the reel.
Are you sure it has 2 different rtp:s?

Damn, im gonna get eyerolled good now.

First, you have the map symbols blocking wins. Second, the pays for a 6OAK are significantly higher. Third, the expanded wild bottles can have multipliers.

No way you can balance that in between. The game simply runs with a lower RTP if the 6th reel is not unlocked.

EDIT: How many results have you seen in the battle exceeding 100x bet?

 

[goatwack]

Whoa, Harry just added the despondent emoji after the thumbs up emoji, hoping no one would notice

I see your game

Sounds like alot of guesswork to me.
Do you have something to back this up with?
This reminds me of another thread.

TLDR: Evidence or gtfo!

I had a 110x bonus in the battle! 1 out of 3 bonuses, other 2 were shit.

 

[paul7388]

Well since i can't play the battles i think it is an excellent choice of game.

But to be honest the few times i tried it for real i found the best wins and bonuses were before the 6th reel opened. After that the slot was even worse if that was possible,

If you can't hit the max win then you play with a lower RTP, simples.

Red Tiger is unfortunately not as forthcoming with exact details.

 

[Harry_BKK]

Nice to know the FS will pay sh*ite!

@Team.Videoslots battles are finishing and not crediting the final spin.

A couple of battles ive lost rewards on.

Not sure if you've ever come across this kind of error before?!

 

[geordiecolin]

Logic tells me that there is no better time than in this last 1.5 hours to play this slot for real in order to unlock the bonus round. As videoslots keep saying. Battles are played in real mode from the same servers

 

[bamberfishcake]

Make that 3 battles. Just scored 40 on my last spin, would have placed 3rd.....

 

[goatwack]

This bug can't surely still be a thing. It's been mentioned for years now!

 

[Tirilej]

@bamberfishcake

Have you noticed that the points you get are added as soon as you press the button. They are not added after the spin which mean you already got those points.

I thought it was just for the bonus round but it's every damn spin.

Ah, i see.
Ive been trying to hit the max win in Doa2, but i just cant do it.
According to you, this means ive been playing on a version with lower rtp.

And to think i used to turn to you when i had slotquestions.
Might as well just use a magic 8-ball since you are also just guessing.

 

[goatwack]

I see what Kroffe's doing with the eyeroll reverse-psychology. Clever and impossible for Harry to fend off

This can be easily fixed by watching Nature documentaries on youtube while the slot spins.

I should have done that instead of stop playing. Well, it's bedtime anyway.
I hope you win a lot despite what anyone tell you about the RTP

Yeah, dont worry about it.
Turns out Harry was just guessing all along.

Sweet dreams

No I had not, perhaps thats what it is then.

Thanks for the heads up.

I did notice my points were only increasing by half of what was being scored at one point. I had to do a double take and check a few but then the tally corrected itself.

I think its that weird pirate gremlin thing maybe.

 

[bamberfishcake]

What advert was that from? I remember it was one of the best ads on tele at the time but cant think what the product was?

Was it a cereal?

Clever how they got that bear and man to do that.

 

[mack341]

john west tinned salmon I think, and the man wins in the end

 

[goatwack]

why don't VS

We've been asking them the same thing, still no response

 

[Kroffe]

Correct!

 

[mack341]

yeah I had a keyboard malfunction there, I was going to say they might as well choose monopoly megaways or royal mint, and really give the players a chance

 

[CasinoNinja]

It's a bit annoying that the freespins you for winnings, is seperate to your normal 0.10 spins, which means that you cant get the progress from playing the freespins

 

[goatwack]

At what point did the guys at VS brainstorm that 'progress bar' slots are the way forward for Battles

I assume they thought no one would notice?

I know.

Anyone would think they chose this game to reduce the amount of return on the rewards, if we didnt all know better.

Edit: Early night and no dinner for you tonight @Team.Videoslots

 

[goatwack]

I'd rather they just straight up admit it's a cost-cutting exercise. Would we like it? Not at first most likely

Would we respect their honesty? Yep!

And surely they should lower their XP reqs for these fiestas if always on low-tier slots with essentially locked bonuses. The disparity between entry requirements and what we get is chasmic

I guess youv'e just got to decide when its not worth it anymore.

I could be wrong and get a crazy win from my rewards but i would hedge my bets i get less from this than say Jack or Gonzos.

Its the limited potential with this game choice that will stop me from bothering to qualify i think.

The battles have way more entrants now making it harder to place and the most of the free spin freerolls are lower RTP games.

My green reward wheels have not been so rewardy also but not sure if thats just a bit of bad luck.

Oh and dont get me started on the Jackpot Chase and that wonderful first round game i love. But that ones just down to personal preference and bad luck i guess.

Edit: Jack or Gonzos probably a bad example as 20p spins but you get my point.....hopefully

I didn't get you started on the Jackpot Chase, so that's libellous

 

[bamberfishcake]

10 Rewards and a total of £2.56!

Woohoo! Thanks VS!

 

[goatwack]

A bad workman always blames his tools

 

[Pixie]

14 Rewards = £3

 

[geordiecolin]

I wanted to test my theory in my last post. I had less that £1 before tonight. Won £4.00 And started on playing my free spins before the promo ended.
I managed to unlock with £13.00 and since then its been butal. I lost so I deposited £20. Lets see what the outcome is. If I double my deposit I will visit the remarkable thread
