I am definitely not wasting my weekend on this. The RAW game isn't too bad, but the Pragmatic choice is taking the piss - obviously a deliberate choice as well.

Feeling generous this month then VS? FFS... Just stop doing them if you're cutting budgets that much.

 

[Damo]

I will probably be in the minority but I don't mind the games at all.

The raw game is a decent twist on the Buffalo game (volatility notched down a tad because of the lack of multipliers in base game & bonus for the ascending blocks) and the prag is just insanely volatile, which you'd expect given the make up of the game. Rewards may not pay a lot for the majority of people but the volatility of that prag game means a few will get very lucky if it goes mental in the bonus game.

Im with you to be fair.. the prag is volatile AF and i know im gonna waste hours of my time and prob end up with nothing but then on the other hand it could be worse.. it could be a super spin game!

There will always be someone who hates the games regardless of what we select, or loves them.
But if we selected games due budget (which is not the case), best would be to run the low volatility games.

Agree with all of this. The RAW game is a pretty decent, does some crazy stuff at times when the elephants come in. The wilds clash a bit with the Bonus symbols as they're the same colour, which is a bit annoying.

The moaning in here again from the usual suspects, tears and snot every month because they don't like the slots that have been chosen, is ridiculous. You'll still get 94% or thereabouts back from your free spins on average, and then you can use that money to play slots you do like. No-one's forcing you to play those two games for free if you don't want to...

And yet people still complain, standing there with a Virginia ham under their arm, crying the blues because they've got no bread ?

It's fucking hilarious really and I love winding them up ?

How many procent hit something on the high volatility game?

I'm sure someone will probably be lucky enough to win big on the Prag, but the team deciding the games knows full well that the Zeus game has a ridiculous volatility. The chances of placing in the top 3 in the Battle, and then winning anything at all on the free spins afterwards is so small compared to most other 0.10 Prag games that it's really not worth wasting a weekend.

Good luck to those who play though!

To be fair, placing top 3 is equally hard/easy no matter what game it is.
But i agree about the volatility, just seems like a poor choice for a battle game.
Yes, a tiny number of players that manage to hit something from the rewards will be really happy, the rest no so much.

I get what Mrwild is saying that no matter what games are picked there will be people complaining, but picking a game like this prag slot makes sure that as many people as possible will have a bad time when opening rewards, seems counterproductive.

This weekend would have been a perfect opportunity to showcase Jack And The Beanstalk Remastered!

 

[spoo42]

Don't mind the 20p game, seems a bit kinder than the buffalo game, with wilds and the dropping wild thing I've done better in battles so far than the other game.

The Zeus game is horrible lol extreme volatility, haven't won more than 20p in battle so far. Lucky for the few that manage to hit something with rewards but majority are gonna get pennies from them.

Votes so far. 1/3 of all votes cast want to change both games

I think when they say they like a raw game, they actually mean that they don't hate it as much as the previous raw slots.
With all of this "shoving raw slots down everyone's throats" approach, people's standards kinda drop.

Ive had some big wins on it so far in battles, 30-40 euro scores. hopefully hit a few of them with rewards

30 - 40 euros scores are 150 to 200x and they are as rare as 500 to 600x on pragmatic slots, that's what I'm saying.

Edit: As an example, compare the last schedule battle, Big Money Bass, 1692 players and top score was 550x

Meanwhile in the current scheduled battle, Bigger Bass Bonanza, even with less players and a lower stake you have higher wins.

opend 10 rewards on that hades and got 0.10euro picked the red one, thought dont matter becuse they are both high volatility

 

[Jono777]

Like the variation on Buffalo, IE the new RAW game seems decent.

Also despite what I've read and experienced thus far, not going to moan about the Prag game either, at least its not bloody fish related lol

 

[Pixie]

From the moment I said I like the RAW game it stopped giving me rewards !

I was going to vote on the poll but there was no 'Dry your fucking eyes, pal...' option.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Both games suck compared to the games they used to use for battle weekends. I imagine the majority of moans are because of that reason.

Battle weekends used to be full of opportunity, but now they are full of dead spins. Screw the new games; nobody wants to play them because they are designed to give one huge payout in 10 million spins and pay virtually nothing in between.

Gimme the low volatility games of yesteryear, if there really is no selection agenda, or go back to the days when the choice was influenced by loyal players who used to sing the praises of VS for doing so.

 

[Itaghai]

I think when it comes out my monthly xp might have run out already.
Honestly, I feel like videoslots isn't the place it was anymore and I don't feel like depositing on it anymore.

The achievements are worthless, the current wheels system is awful, wagering over 8000£, which was almost 10000€ for a wheel that gives 50 FS in the smallest stake? In exchange for a level 25 wheel and multiple green and blue?

Then the emails aren't working properly, I have reported it multiple times and it's most likely that your [email protected] might be blacklisted by some email providers, so, 2 years went by and there have been 0 deposit bonus or any offer.

The only thing that VS offers at the moment are these battles, which got greatly reduced, you need to be so lucky to get anything, which in most cases are just 5 FS.

Now top that off with this constant push of RAW slots, where in every event, the spotlight slot is always a RAW slot and that's completely too much.

It's most likely we will never see a setup in any battle where we would have a 0.10€ legacy of dead, book of dead, or something like that with a 0.20€ Madame Destiny Megaways, Gates of Olympus, Power of Thor, or anything along those lines.

I know probably these decisions have come from some above you and neither you nor @Team.Videoslots can do anything about it besides report the players feedback to the management, but all of us know how drastically this changed when we compare it to the state of VS 1 year ago before RAW was introduced.

I know that VS employees and RAW employees might all be friends and try to build something together since you are all in the same building and you get to know each other, but instead of just rushing new slots every month, RAW should work on the quality of the slots first, their slots look too scripted and predictable, I already gave my opinion on that in this post (Battle of Slots Official Videoslots Thread - Casinomeister Forum) so I won't repeat myself again.

Only able to play the Zeus game and I can honestly say that pragmatic and videoslots have out done themselves. Worst piece of rubbish ever produced. I don’t think l have played a worst slot ever??

To be fair, this slot is a bit like wanted dead or a wild, it's a slot of numbers.
It's a good slot if you are willing to spin 500 - 1000 times in a session but for this kind of event, I agree it's rubbish and the fishing games are way better in this case.
But for longer sessions, this slot is fine, during the battle weekend I had an 875x base game, and a couple of weeks ago I had a pretty nice win as well.

If just ONE rewards does that upon redeeming and all of the others are completely dead, I will never moan again

 

[Itaghai]

The legendary Jono's catchphrase ?
Well, it could happen, I think when it was the Power of Thor Megaways battle weekend @Alisa77 manage to get a win of around 750£, so pragmatic can pay even in the free spins

Lol, this time I mean it, maybe????

Yeah, I'd say Prags stand the best chance when redeeming, doesn't take a lot to please me, examples off the top of my head, roughly had £96 on Power of Thor, £90 on Gates of Olympus and £120 on Wild West Gold (normal not MW)

 

[bamberfishcake]

Woohoo! I got a bonus at long last on that Pragmatic slot. Not had one all day.

I have had the exact same result 2 times today from 2 rewards!

This is what makes me laugh with this game....I finally get an astronomical score, out of this world, best score all day, almost hit the max win....only to end up outside of the prizes lol

Yeah, I also got one almost like that but still manage to get 2nd place, I thought I would get 1st with my score.

Really? How scripted random ?

 

[Jono777]

I hope I am way, way wrong but no matter how many rewards I end up collecting, I have that "gamblers gut feeling" that I am going to struggle to make £20 upon redeeming.

Would be worst result ever, lets hope we all end up being pleasantly surprised, just cannot shake the feeling it is going to be extremely disappointing this battle weekend.

On that positive and optimistic note, I bid you all good night and good luck!

Decent game this Pragmatic slot. You can choose your volatility, which could mean you might win an extra 11p (see my previous post screenshot) during the bonus for choosing the higher volatility option. Epic!

@Lemon

BTW @Team.Videoslots, the RAW game, Mighty Buffalo, is faulty. Had a block of 'K' formed from mystery symbols that expanded upwards but not to the side where a 'K' was.

 

[Pixie]

@Team.Videoslots @Mr Wild please can you change Zeus vs Hades to another Pragmatic game !

VS office is in Malta and RAW has their office in Spain.
The registered office is usually where you get post in Malta and is not always the same as HQ. The reason for that is that its easier to movie offices without losing important post as updating your postal address in Malta is a nightmare.

 

[bamberfishcake]

@Team.Videoslots @Mr Wild please can you change Zeus vs Hades to another Pragmatic game !

But this Pragmatic game is the latest from the trailblazing developer! Brand new for 2023 with cutting-edge graphics, sounds and gameplay. I cannot understand why you wouldn't want to play the latest games in the Pragmatic Play evolution. After all, this is progress, right? ?

On another note, Play'n GO proudly tweeted they release a game every week now. I wanted to reply that it's actually six games every week due to there being six different paying versions, but the last time I replied to their tweet, they deleted it from their feed and reposted it without my negative feedback. I don't know how players can keep feeding money to these bandits.

Must be something seriously wrong if someone puts money on Zeus vs Hades and Play'n GO games have become really bad for players in my opinion.

 

[Itaghai]

Had a bonus that paid 0x, then came the redemption spin

 

[bamberfishcake]

Meanwhile, in the 'reward' world...

BTW, Without checking the paytable, you can tell the pays are poor, but didn't realise 5OAK Kings pays 1x your bet. ?

The game is so incredibly bad!

 

[spoo42]

the amount of 0-1x bonuses ive had on that game is crazy. ive had 2 or 3 base game 3 wilds , winning between 150-600x though, but nothing else of note.

 

[bamberfishcake]

The game is so incredibly bad!

Agreed.

The theme is bland and been done a million times. The graphics are sub-standard by comparison, even for Pragmatic, who have been capable of much better in the past. The mechanics are nothing new; I agree with the Dead or a Wild comparison. The musical composition is terrible - the levels need tweaking, and the voiceover lacks real emotion.

The whole thing is tacky, poorly crafted and uninspiring. Plus, we already have plenty of these extremely volatile games; much more and the industry will consume itself and witness a downturn in new players, as old players leave in their droves, by sucking the fun (wins) out of the average session.
