Question What slot features do you hate?

[Jono777]

has anyone really ever had those extra wilds on JP during t rex alert? none.

Once or twice....



But it's mostly lies, I tell ya!

 

[incrediblestuff]

Pick me where the first one you hit is collect or one out off 3 you pick the lowest bonus most of the times.

Haven't even read the whole thread, but already know pretty much all i could think of has already been said, or will be said ^.^

Also the above quoted one is a pet peeve of mine, i just recollect however, that in the last half year or so i have played two games, one of them being "Cool as Ice" from Genesis Gaming, where you would get the max amount of picks/prizes/awards IF you got the collect on the first pick. I thought that was pretty cool! Can't recall the other title, i just think it was a newer game, one released in the last 6 months...

 

[KasinoKing]

Yep I think most, if not all of the annoyances have already been covered
I just have a few comments to add...

Features which are no different from base games (apart from not using credits/balance) - (EG:Wild Rockets??)

Extra Wild features, where looking at regular play, exactly what extra wilds are those then ?? (EG:Jurassic Park)

I haven't played Wild Rockets THAT much, but I always got the feeling that the wilds appeared a LOT more frequently during free-spins than in the base game. Am I wrong?
(Similar to Beach - where the Octopus 100% definitely shows up a hell of a lot more)

Jurassic Park: Yeah, they show up from time to time. I SUSPECT that like many of MGs 243 way slots, that the reel-strips are incredibly long (like close to 100 symbols per reel maybe?), so adding in 20 extra wilds (or whatever the number is) does not guarantee that they are going to be showing up every spin.

5-20x stake is NOT a 'BIG WIN'. So don't make a fuss about it (I love the way that DOA can drop 2500x into your balance for 5 scatters, without any kind of fuss)

OMG... I was trying out a new Top Game slot the other day: Quest for the Minotaur
As the win counted up, it went Big Win for bet x10, Mega Win for x20 and EPIC WIN for x30!!!
One of my wins went up to about x80 - but it was still only an Epic Win. I was VERY disappointed with that as I was hoping it would be classed as a "Mega-Galactic, Super-Hyper, Life-Changing Win!"

I don't know if all TG slots do this - but I sent my feedback to them pointing out how ludicrous this is.

Random wild features that might not improve your win (aka Dark Knight Batman Vision and "Flaming Wilds" where "extra" wilds are placed over already existing wilds).

Yeah, that's a good one.
You can add The Wish Master to that: When you've got the wild Cat and/or Ruby or a Wild Reel or just when a regular wild appears, and the "Add 2 extra wilds" puts them over the top of a wild that's already there!

I love the octopus in beach he appears lots in free spins because he's the star of the show KK. He makes winning easier! All with a friendly grin.

I have two features that I really dislike.

1. On RTG, if your balance goes below what you are currently wagering, then a quick deposit popup appears. This is very annoying because if one is playing on a bonus, they need to get under $1 (or $0.00 at some casinos) and making a deposit would mix funds. I don't believe they do this to trick players, but it could certainly have that effect. It's especially annoying because it can happen numerous times at the end of a play.

2. On features where there are picks to be made, I don't like the feature to be misleading as to the probability of picking the best symbols. I realize that the 1000x will come a lot less often than the 10x or so, but I don't like features where they have player select one of five racing cars (for example) yet the chance of winning is not 1 in 5. If it's not going to be random, at least don't let the player select the car. If you pick one and it says 10x, that's fine, just don't show me the other numbers when there was really not an equal chance of each one. (Dream Run and Warlock's Wizard come to mind on RTG)

ah...thank you. so it does happen.

 

[09237653]

most of mine are covered here but can add a couple.

Features that trigger randomly "supermode" (super, yeah right) (hellboy, tomb raider 2)

Bonus games you have to build up over lots of spins only to get sod all once they trigger (dark kight rises, tomb raider 2 passports, wealth spa)

Progressive jackpots that NEVER trigger, 10+ years ive played firedrake on partygaming, had both 5 scatters and 5 wilds, but never once had the jackpot, (my brother has won it twice)

Laughably low progressive jackpots (mega moolah, takes 1000s of spins, finally spin the jackpot wheel to win £9)

TOURNAMENTS WITH 999 ADDONS, why not just auction off the prizes to the highest bidders? 99% of "normal" players have no chance of top prizes on these tournaments.

 

[KasinoKing]

Features that trigger randomly "supermode" (super, yeah right) (hellboy, tomb raider 2)

Yeah, that's a good call.
When I used to play TR2 a lot and record all my play on a spreadsheet, I used to call it "Super-Crap Mode"

Another annoyance I don't think anyone has posted yet, is Scatters which "chime" when they land even when it's IMPOSSIBLE to trigger the feature!
e.g. When scatters land on reels 4 or 5 when there aren't any on reels 1, 2 or 3 :sob:

There are quite a few games which do this. Off the top of my head: What on Earth (MG), Groovy 60's, 70's & 80's (NetEnt), a lot of Rival's slots and many more I can't think of right now...

[fun4all]

BIG WIN!!! animations on something crap like 15x bet.

Net Ent now claim 30x is a MEGA WIN!!!

Just **** off, especially when you are on your 3rd deposit that session.

For casinomeister, a thread on this very subject from this year.

https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/most-frustrating-things-on-slots.66657/?t=66657

 

[xalksx]

T-Rex mode is crap id rather not have it at all .Think ive had £18 or something of it once on £2.10 play which is poor considering ive spent £13 to earn it lol

also pees me of on tarts and hearts where the big lady blocks wins .
I did get a little surprise on 2 scatters on games of thrones instead of the normal £3 stake or £6 back it paid £150 .I have lots of machines that when spinning free spins i no that something is gonna block my win

 

[slotsgeek]

I don't like it when slots use the same happy tune and animation for every win even if it's a few penny. I mean seriously do they think were that stupid?

Yup!

I quite often find myself saying out loud 'What's all the fucking noise about, its a quid FFS!'

Haha exactly

 

[deadoralive23]

Worst Features:
Picking Symbols
Free Spins with horrible multiplier

Best Features:
Free Spins with sticky/random wilds
Free Spins with high multipliers (lucky 88 has X88, 300 shields has X300)

After my experience in Malta last week (upcoming newsletter - stay tuned), I was thinking about slot features that I hate. Some come to mind:

Scatters that only pay out if they are in a certain pay line - hell these are SCATTERS, and should be treated as such.

Getting two out of three scatters and nothing happens. I like to to at least have my funds returned.

Getting an expandable wild, and it makes a big hullabaloo with bells and whistles, and there is no win.

What sayeth thou?

All those I agree with. One game in particular springs to mind and thats CFTBL. On the last free spin unlocking a wild and it playing out its prolonged song and dance routine then ending the feature.

That really bugs the life out of me. It's not like you can even click it to speed it up.

 

[citizenx]

I hate the bonus round in blood suckers where you pick the coffins, rather just have the free spins.

Absolutley. I HATE that game for that reason and that it never pays anything decent.

Baffles me why that is usually excluded from bonus play or counts for only a % of wagering on many sites.

 

[birthdaysuit]

'Free spins where the scatters can't retrigger, but still have to get in the way and block line wins'
That most and foremost

 

[gambyx7]

1. Free spins that can't be retriggered.
2. Wild bonus without sure win.
3. Free spins that doesn't pay at least 10x.
4. Gamble option.
5. Max bet button.

 

[Diane]

I know this is an older thread.........but just saw it. (still catching up after a long absence)

My Absolute WORST - HATE IT is Stick Shifter on 3Dice where when you retrigger too many times, you are penalized with the transmission blowing UP!! How can there be a slot that ENDS when you have had the best run ever and all of a sudden all your accumulated free spins are gone.

I really wish ENZO and team could remove that feature. It's the only slot I have come across where you get kicked out mid-FS due to winning too much.

My other "hates" are those as mentioned before where bonus round is 1x bet (come on....!!!) and I dislike games where I have to pick the bonus games and always feel that I have screwed up because I end up with the worst or lowest possible bonus combination.

While that is one of my favorite slots on 3Dice, I agree that with you that the logic behind programming a booby prize into a slot game is elusive. And particularly on StickShifter because it's REALLY hard to get the required three scatters.

In fact, even though I think the graphics on Ching Ching are the best of any of their slots, I almost never play that one due to the bonus round feature delivering a multiplier of either 2x or 1/2x on every bonus round - not because of the 2x multiplier, but the 1/2x multiplier, and it's really a shame because I would otherwise play that game a lot, as I find it relaxing (the music and pace).

I have played Ching Ching a LOT... and lost a fortune on the fricking thing
But I still love it for some reason and keep going back for more punishment.

I would like to know what the odds are of getting x2 or 1/2 at the end. I'm convinced it's not 50/50 - if it is, then I am the unluckiest gambler in the world!
I suppose in theory it should be 2 x Half to each 1 x Double (or 66.6/33.3), because that would even out the "forced gamble" to 100% RTP.
But I haven't even got close to that proportion, so I have to wonder if the "gamble" part is set to lower then 100%...?

Oh, and I don't know if it's been mentioned before in the thread, but Ching Ching has arguably THE most annoying slot feature...
When you finally get 3 scatters and the pick is the Fortune Cookie = $0 :sob:

{edit} Of course, reading this made me go and play it - and what do you know - I hit 5 wilds for the first time EVER!

 

[SlotCop]

There are few slot features that bring me annoyance and others too for sure. It's so annoying when you get free spins with a multiplier of only 1x, that doesn't just make sense. Two scatters that pay nothing bugs me but what's even worse is when four scatters don't pay anything.

I agree as they do not come too often its nice to get something a bit more exciting, instead of a dull 1x.
