Question What's the worst bonus round you've had when you expected it to be good?

[lord flashheart]

Whilst working the other day with YouTube on autoplay in the background, an old Stop n Step video came on where he hit max spins on one of the reel king megaways slots which payed sod all. It reminded me of a bonus I had a few years back on William Hill where my expectation was much higher than the result. My experience was on Eye of Horus. It payed about 300x on 50p stake, however it was probably the rarest bonus on the game. 1st spin rolled in 3 horus wilds, re-triggered (as in proper re-trigger) and still didn't make it to the top symbol until I had 2 spins remaining. Piss poor return considering the circumstances. So what are your worst good bonuses?

Too many to recall on numerous slots over the years, the ones that stuck with me was the Deadwood Super Bonus triggered in base game. I only ever had it triggered in the base game now 3 times and all 3 times they all paid less than 150X. Not a single wild dropped in to increase the multiplier and all the spins was all with royal symbols literally. Hence why such shit bonuses.

But there is others on other slots that really pissed me off as well, Like Buffalo King from Pragmatic, I have had many features on that go retrigger crazy, I even once had a 5 scatter retrigger in one and still that feature paid around 100X Most spins I think I had on Buffalo King I think was around 150 ish spins and still paid around 100X after all those spins. I only ever had one miracle hit on that slot too which I did post the screenshot of that win in the screenshots thread. It was basically around £700 or £800, Buffalos and wilds on all wheels during a free spins bonus on a 0.40p stake.

Like many others, I had that bad “Super Bonus” on Tombstone.

Love the way it says "feel the excitement"
Presume this was in real play - Think it would make me quit for good

Yes, it was in real money play - I guess it can be exciting to watch 12 dead spins in a row on 'super' bonus!
Unfortunately this didn't make me quit for good. To be fair, it did give a super bonus of 6000xbet couple of months later on 0,1e bet (as if it was, ehem, compensating ) . The sad part being that 600e doesn't bring my personal RTP even close to 90% after countless losing sessions.

Not expecting amazing things before the bonus but got a 4 scatter 15 spin bonus on CFTBL. First spin landed several successive wilds for 75x and opened the double wilds. Total bonus didn’t even hit 100x

Dead bonuses always seem to come after a real dry streak in the base game as well. Like, I won't get a bonus for 200 spins, then finally land 3 scatters (or whatever) and I get like 20x....

My first ever bonus on Wild Flower was a superbonus, that paid out 15-20x. Never have I been more disappointed

Earlier today down to last few spins, got the free spins on Candyways Bonanza Megaways only for it to pay $0.00.... Sooo disappointing!! It got me good!! lol

Extra Chilli gamble to 24 spins - > receive like 20 dead spins and not even bonus buy price back.

22xbet on Tombstone super spins

Another one was 1900xbet on Sisters of the Sun. I don't complain, it is great win - but I thought 44 free spins would give closer to the max win (15 000xbet), but at least 20 of the spins were dead...

22 on the five scatter?

I don't expect any to be good and they rarely disappoint in that context.

Always the last bonus round i had you always expect them to be good right

Exactly, and you can actually view even worse (0xbet) earlier on this thread! I've had the super spins 5 times in total, only two of them has delivered (2000xbet and 6000xbet). So they aren't worth chasing ...

Easy for me that one, 10p trigger of super bonus on Tombstone, paid 30x or similar - I try to block it out, thanks for the reminder

p.s. Developers should try and counter that kind of experience and such expectations. I would still be churning money through Tombstone now if I had seen better. That single spin has put me off. I still play it, but nowhere near as much since, and as a result, hit and run the bitch out of it for revenge.

Exactly the same for me. 20p spin to super bonus. 30x. Haven't played it since.

Wow, I thought my experience would have been a one-off. Is it bad that I feel better that someone else shares my pain

That's why the Bonanza thread is just a group of folk huddled around 10 and 20p's complaining they hate themselves for playing it

Misery in numbers.

We all 'like' the 1000x ones (once in a blue moon) but secretly it's the 5x's that makes us feel better.

Weird game this is it can bash out 100´s of retriggers but still pay nada would expect more then this on .40 bet and you are on €4
my best here is nearly 3000x on a .80 bet from 84fs but nearly all came from 1 spin.

It was so bad a win I gave half away in a Casinomeister quiz. £92
