This is their latest 4096-way game, making 6 in total.

56,800x won in testing. The first 4096-way one with tumbles. The base game can theoretically give a 1000x mutliplier by a left or right expanding unicorn wild having the max 3 multipliers all at 10x. In free games you get an increasing multiplier so you could I suppose get the above, multiplied then by the global multiplier you were on.

OK, now I've woken up, here's the video:

 
I play Opal Fruits far more than any other BTG slot. A very underrated BTG game I think. I have not been impressed with many releases for years. I like the potential on Outlaw but I find it's basegame complete sh@t. Unfortunately I still play Bonanza a lot too, so my good luck on Opal Fruits usually gets spunked away on Bonanza!
 
Got up to max megaways on BBB with 24 spins to go, thanks to retriggers. Thought "this is it, this is it"..

205x

Shit, I should've put this video up on CM then you might have avoided that pain, made this several weeks ago:



I did nearly the same as you in testing but managed to get just under HALF your 205x......
 
Tried it, had one or 2 decent basehits on it and even one unicorn with 3 multis and a second one with one, but shit symbols..still paid 70 bucks on 20p, not too shabby! Seems to basically be a pimped version of the pirate pays mechanic. Just a different feature. I;ll watch your vid with coffee after dinner @dunover :)
 
Hmmmm. Decided to have a go at this and came off distinctly second best.

Balance of £130 gone on 20p spins, not even 2000 spins played, and an RTP of 63.27%

Best win was 87x and even that was a bit of an outlier.

It's also quite a dull game in many regards, like they've taken Danger High Voltage and given it a hefty dose of temazepam.

The music and graphics are quite nice I suppose, if we're trying to find something nice to say.

On balance BTG can keep their shit fake horses. Would not unicorn again.

What..??.?.?. You didn’t fluke a 4000+x first time win, wow the state of slots these days lol

Tbh it’s not my cup of tea, base is definitely leaner than other BTG games but it does have some big hits in it. By all accounts it does seem higher variance and can take bloody ages to bonus.

I know I should lodge a complaint with BTG since the game is clearly broken :D

It started off OK and was at least throwing the odd bone out in the base game, and moderately regular features. However there was a point the whole lot just dried up and my balance swirled down the plughole. (I didn't do any win gambles for the feature, and on the one occasion I got a big enough win to exchange straight into the feature, just collected the win.)

It'd probably have been quite a bit more brutal but it's a moderately slow game to play, taking over three and a half hours to get through 1761 spins.

It's also a bit annoying in that you can knock out a good chunk of the screen a couple of times in the base game, and you've won like 6x bet or something, as the base pays are so mean, and it doesn't even have Megaways to make crazy numbers of ways. The whole thing is very dependent on big multipliers, which are annoyingly hard to get in base game, and even in the bonus round, especially with the bloody unicorns flying off in the wrong direction all the time.

Losing £130 on 20p spins is 650x bet, this is why I limit myself to small stakes. On £1 spins that would have been £650 tipped down the drain.
 
OK so it can actually pay, here is a very hard to achieve instance of the unicorn (a) Actually going in the right fucking direction, (b) Dropping some multipliers out of its arse along the way and (c) Being in a free spins round with a multiplier on the go at the time.

So I've got a 5x in the free spins round, and 3x + 3x + 3x off the horse turds which as I understand it (and @dunover says is how it works), is multiplicative so is 27x and then all multiplied by five, I think is how it works. I'll look at the paytable and check.

Anyway, this rather tame looking spin is 288x all by itself. With better symbols and bigger multipliers (allegedly the horses can crap out three lots of 10x multipliers), it's easy to see how this could deliver a single monster of a spin.

RTP on this one isn't to be sniffed at, delivering 96.53%, the trick is going to be riding out the volatility.

Yes, multiplicative, so 27x x5 global multiplier = 135x for any way wins there. I have had 2 @10x before, and an 8,5 & 3x for 120x multiplier. It can do it (rarely).

So you got 8 ways of 6OAK J there, then 8 5OAKs of 2 mushrooms, 2 A and 4 Q for 16 ways in play.

All 4 Wilds would only apply to the 1 way of 6OAK J's that didn't count any of the ones already on the reels, if people are wondering why the win wasn't 76.80 for the 6OAKs of J's alone.

The problem is you just can't afford to be having bonus rounds like this on a slot that can take a long time to bonus, and doesn't have anything like the solid grind in the base game like Bonanza does.

Bonus rounds of 10x and under aren't a rare occurrence.

Does the game give any advice for the bonus gamble?
Is the optimal strategy to always gamble like on some of the other BTG:s?
Ive played it a bit and from my experience you dont get many wins that let you use the bonus gamble, but i won all 3 attempts.

Optimal strategy is obviously to ditch whatever BTG slot you are playing and swap to Whos the bride, but i doubt they will tell you that.
 
I'm not a big fan of the 'could woulda shoulda' school of online slots but this is exactly the setup you're looking for in the free spins.

Decent round multiplier - CHECK
6OAKs lined with the same symbols on Reels 1 and 6 - CHECK
Shit horse has dropped a full trail of wilds - CHECK
Shit horse also drops multipliers - FAIL

Even with just the same multipliers on the reels as the earlier screenshot, three lots of 3x to make 27x, given the higher multiplier here (9x) and better symbols making the 6OAKs, this would have been a really decent pay.

Even with no multipliers on the reels this is 72x stake, add on the 27x reel multiplier from the earlier screenshot, and that would be 1944x for this spin.

The overall round multiplier isn't really the critical thing on this slot, although it obviously helps, it's how the multipliers on the reels stack up, they're the ones to really keep an eye out for.

So yeah you're after this, but with multipliers in the wilds!

(Also note that diamonds aren't a crazy pay on this game, as per the win table above.)

Nothing in the rules about it, it's possible it's entirely RTP agnostic what choice you make, and all you're doing by gambling the win for the feature is increasing the overall volatility of the game by quite some margin.

This is what it looks like, the win segments get bigger depending on the size of the win being gambled. I always just collect because I'm a wimp :D

I just kept gambling for the bonus every time thinking i would stop when i lost one, but like i said i only had 3 shots at the gamble and won all 3.
That said i did not gain very much from it, 2 bonuses were like 10x more than the win i gambled and 1 was 10x under.

Like you already pointed out, without the unicorns dropping multipliers in the bonus you aint winning anything.
