Question What slot features do you hate?

[Supababe]

Sorry if these has been mentioned already....I glanced through a few pages but not all of them in detail.

1. Bonuses that are triggered by 3 or more symbols on a pay line.... then you get 3 and realise that they are positioned badly and you get nothing...

2. Not technically a feature but my big gripe at the minute is when a slot loads up and you click continue, and the spin button is in the same position. If you are impatient (as I am) you end up clicking 'continue for a second time just as the screen changes and you end up spinning a silly value spin that demolishes your balance. (Yddgrasil....you are the worst for it)

Just recently Gonzo's vest(I will need to borrow it soon as he's ripped the shirt off my back).I haven't retriggered the bonus for months.Got the feature twice yesterday x2 and x4.Definetly feels like this slot has taken a turn for the worse.

I'm sure this has been mentioned but the constant popups if you want to play for real money when you're in demo mode to just check a new or never before played slot are very annoying!

Is it too much to ask that auto spins resume after a feature?

 

[snorky510238]

Rtg where the screen goes dark the little s••t pops it's head out then disappears again.Whats the point.Apart from to p••s you off!

Yeah ! Right that ! And also many slots don't even start the bonus or free spins feature if you don't interact with the screen !
But there are slots which do start the feature/s and resume the play after the feature ended (although this is not the majority).

Actually most of us stop autoplay in purpose after a feature... it's because that's the point where most people "cash out" or choose a different game. We Don't want to purposely make you keep playing...

In some markets you are not allowed to auto-start a feature until 2 minutes have passed...

I hate winning less then 500x in Bonanza bonus

I have never won more than that

I accidentally made a $60 bet in Platoon Wild when I only meant to bet .20. Apparently, iSoftBet have now reverted to a 2c minimum on VS and when I was changing the bet, I assumed it was the minimum. Instead, the fucking thing reverted back to $3. At least I had a loss limit set. Inexcusable for a slot machine to actually rollover back to the highest value after pressing the minus button. It should remain at the lowest value no matter how many times you press it.

Anyway, nothing I can do about it as casinos won’t re-imburse accidents. Just won’t play another iSoftBet slot. Fuck you, iSoftBet.

Getting a 'big win celebration' when you only win 20X. Drives me insane

 

[Spikie]

Games which crash then reload with £2 bet size instead of the bet you last made

...Finally getting a run / string of small wins together to fill the meter, only to get granted "Alteration" and "Demolition"

...Finally getting a run / string of small wins together to fill the meter, only to get granted "Alteration" and "Demolition"

However, getting a demolition just before the Gargantoon can be beneficial (rest assured though it'll appear at the top)

The alteration is shocking though.

I like when it gives 'one'

Same here today as I was playing, It was more of those than anything. Did get 14 purple guy's though, 1 more would have been $400 which sucked.

1. Hate higer or lower volatility free spins. Excuces like "this round can give jackpot" is total bullsh.....I want equal chances of wins....

2. When you don't get feature specific to some free spin round...no wild reels in Payboy's Jilian or on Wild Magic/Wild Wine in Loki (TS2) / Sarah (IR) free rounds....
Interestingly, in JP T-rex has feature guarantee, but Triceratops doesn't (I had quite rounds without ANY wild(s)).

NetEnt has 15x, QuickSpin I believe has 10x, but EGT (sorry TranceMonkey) takes the cake with the bells and celebrations on freaking 2x wins (looking at you Gypsy Moon).

 

[Betreels Casino & Sports]

When you are playing a game and click on another window and the game pauses. Don't understand the need for that.

When you get a small win in the free spins and it adds the total up slowly to make it seem like it's something special (Nextgen)

When you have adblocker enabled and some games don't load and there is nothing to advise players of the cause.

When you get free spins or a bonus and it pays zero and yet, still says: "Congratulations" -

When your balance is almost empty and you make a deposit in a new window, but some games do not detect the deposit and you have to drop the bet. What's worse is when do drop your bet (usually to a few cents), and you get free spins or a bonus feature. -

When 4 or 5 of a kind pays less than your bet.

When it takes more than 300 spins to get a feature.

 

[OpiumDose]

1.When you need more than 3 scatters to trigger the feature - there are some slots where you need scatter on every of the five reels just to trigger the bonus - recently saw it on Play'n'Go slot Mermaid's Diamond - I absolutely hate it.
2.When Bonus symbols need to be on a pay line to trigger the feature
3.When after hitting the scatters there is a picking game first and only if you pick right you get the bonus, otherwise you get some tiny coin wins
4.Slots that have "tells" about whether you will land a feature once a tease drops in - like Netent's Drive and Jack and Beanstalk.
5.zero paying bonuses - that sh*t should not be possible. And even worse are the slots that actually congratulate you on a winning 0 - like Break Da Bank Again.
6.When scatters are just blockers. I'm fine with 2 scatters paying at least the bet back or even better - scatters being wilds. But scatters that are not wild and that do not pay for pair of them are disgusting and are basically there to block any wins and tease the sh*t out of a player.

Interesting indeed. Are you sure it's a guarantee? Couldn't find it in the rules but indeed I have never seen a 12-spin JP feature not give at least one spin when wild reels activate while Playboy often does completely dead 25 spins, never thought it's some kind of guarantee - just perhaps a bigger chance of it triggering or something. I agree with your sentiment though, this type of feature not doing anytything is beyond annoying.

I really dislike the slow win count ups on the SG slots like Giant's gold [html update version] , reels of gold etc you have keep moving your mouse cursor off the spin button to click on the screen to bypass the countup, if you don't playing takes twice as long. So along with no autoplay you have to click the mouse even more, my right index finger is getting worn out quicker than it should and i've started having to use my middle finger on rhino

SG seem to specialise in rereleasing worse versions of existing games, none of their html updates allow you to do a quickspin which was always nice to occasionally use on the williams games as sometimes it seemed to trigger a bonus out of nowhere.

Also, some other new games like thundercats and sword of destiny, use a very narrow rectangle rather than full screen, it just takes some of the enjoyment away when you can't see the graphics properly.

I'm so glad you said "on" rather than "in".

Me personally, I find myself using my middle finger(s) AT the rhino. And that's including the times I won!

I would say falcon huntress but I have yet to see the feature.Must admit I haven't flogged it to death but the boredom encountered waiting this long has pretty much put me off.I like most Thunderkick games but that 1 is a bag of.

Oh my goodness, Failcon C*ntress (that's the polite reference) has to be the worst game of the last 5 years.

When not bored to death by its death by a thousand spins, the one time I persisted and triggered the 'bonus' I could not believe what I was witnessing.

Precisely, 'not a lot'. No.....anything. Expanding wilds, sticky wilds, stacked reels - none were present. I had ten of the most mundane, life- sapping buggers without so much of a solitary coin.

Just what is its draw, exactly? What were they thinking??
