Well coming from the founding father of the 'Craze' here at CM:
1. Sticky Wilds
2. HUGE Hit Potential
3. Decent RTP
4. No silly win animations
I remember a few years back when i started playing this slot and posting. What attracted me first was the sticky wilds and I ultimately continued chasing just to get all 5. I had no idea that the Slot would give me some of my biggest wins EVER. There are few slots which can boast paying 2000x plus more than once across the network in a week.
I used to be a Break Da Bank Again / Santa's Wild Ride player. But having played BDBA for such a long time and never seeing the top award made me actually wonder what my chances were... I had major losses at MG so I opted to be faithful to DOA instead and it DID pay off in the long run.
The reason i continue to play this slot (Mostly FLASH) is because it was never tainted with the dreaded Netbent Variance seen in almost ALL their releases after StarBurst. Netent grew their business to offer crappy payouts and boasted that they have 'High Payouts / Returns'. I recall their CEO coming out a while back and noting this as well as the fact that they would continue the trend with their new releases.
IMPO NetEnt have made some good releases but they continue to make DREADFUL games with the starburst engine and animations to irritate the living hell out of you. I sometimes wonder who their head of design is as they can't understand or acknowledge that animations are destroying the overall gaming experience. For NetEnt it has been all about the 'Lights and Video' show with games that pay SHIT. To top this off, the introduced slots with wilds which were worth 1/10th of what they should be (See Magic Portals et. al)
Well my entire explanation and rant brings us back to WHY we play DOA. There isn't any bullshit, there is big hit potential and the slot doesn't wipe the floor with you in 10 seconds. Most of NetEnts new releases intend to do exactly that. It has been said here by many members that NetEnt's business model is to clean players out as soon as quick as they can - I largely agree.
Once DOA is fully migrated to HTML across ALL Casinos, I foresee that it WILL get less play. This is once again down to the poor design from the NetEnt team and their inability to make decent loading / playing HTML 5 games. It sometimes makes me wonder whether their team actually PLAY slots or are they reliant on designers who ONLY Design. If they genuinely had REAL slot players, they would have better games or even better 'playing' games.
Well i am sure many seasoned members here would echo my sentiments. NetEnt has brilliant IDEAS, they just put them into practice really POORLY and desperately need a team that can create slots like DOA, Jack and the Beanstalk, CFTBL (Minus Variance) and the Wishmaster without the need to destroy the playing experience.
DOA still rocks (In FLASH)
