Williams Interactive (WMS) Games Now Live At Nordicbet

[conker]

In fairness to Jackpot party as well, no one can complain about their very low wagering requirements on bonuses.
In the last 3 weeks, on top of the regular monthly bonuses, they have sent me 3 100% match up to £200 with only 10x bonus wr

That's pretty generous, but that also depends on how much you are wagering. Its a drop in the ocean if you are spending £5k a day with them.

Good to see the WMS slots coming out elsewhere, this will do wonders to their popularity for online players.

i tried to play at Norcicbet today - after dozen of spins Wizard of Oz got freezed - server not responding - then switched to IR - after 3-4 spins same story- in the chat they admit having problems with both platforms but don't disable games temporarily or issue any warning- money just wasted and no fun - do you think it's fair we have compete not only against slot odds but also against software glitches?

i have been playing at nordicbet for most of the day on a combination of wms and netent games. I had a few server disconnections on and off over the course of the day which were fixed by just reloading the game but about half an hour ago the casino stopped working for me all together and now i cant even get the homepage up . is anyone else having the same issue?

I tried to take a look at the new games 10 minuts ago and I couldn't get it up either, so you're not alone

I think the RTP issue matters more when the progressive jackpots are much larger and therefore rarer. Like on Playtech's Marvel slots for example where you rarely ever see one yet you contribute 1% of RTP to the PJ. Actually, what's more, the 50-line versions of those games only have RTP's in the 92% range anyway, even before the 1% is deducted. You just don't *know* that

RTP has more of an impact when it is weighed up with the hit frequency of a game anyway. A high hit frequency hides a lower RTP quite well and vice versa.

On Jackpot Party the top awards are a lot smaller but consequently the RJ triggers a lot more frequently - I've had 6 or 7 in one session before now. So 92% + 2.99% or 95% doesn't really matter so much with WMS games IMO. That said, I don't really like PJs so I'd prefer a game without one.

I love these games but it's been a nightmare for me on Nordic. I hit the winged monkey feature on Wizard of Oz and won 135 Euro but then it kept crashing and then crashed as the "Big win" was paying out my money and finally when I did get in it didn't reload the bonus game and didn't credit my money. I spoke to live chat who told me to send in a screen shot but not being very techy I don't know how I can if the page isn't there to take a screenshot of.

Have emailed support who say they aim to answer in 15 minutes but have had no response after an hour.

Just to update this - Nordic have credited my account with 150 euro and admitted there are problems on that game in particular that they are working on. So a good result and I am grateful to them for sorting it honestly.

Ooooh... That's worrying. Fair play to this operator for sorting it out - but I was pretty much under the impression that if a win (or loss) has been decided for that 'event' - it will automatically be credited (debited) regardless of what's displayed on the screen and/or the game would remember the last state at all times. For that NOT to happen is concerning to say the least.

Oh.. I'm not much of a hard line gambler nor an expert so just assumed this was okay. I won on the bonus round of the Wizard of oz, the free spins feature. It kept crashing on me but came back as an unfinished game and I was able to play it one free spin at a time before it crashed again and again. It wasn't until that finished and it was crediting the "Big win" that it lost it again and never came back. It was literally at the last second. Their email implies that they are taking me at my word, rather than that they could see the actual glitch that happened to me but I might have that wrong.

Have been waiting a long time to try out that Bruce Lee-slot. Finally!

I thought the whole point of Jackpot Party was their exclusivity on WMS slots.. So I guess they have lost that mantle, or am I missing something.

I am pretty sure the plan all along was to convert and licence their games. With the US & Canada online regulation potentially on the horizon, the two biggest hotspots for WMS land-based games, then it makes total sense for them to be ready for the demand that that will bring.

I think the UK market gave them the perfect training ground and now it's gradually expanding. Williams Interactive will - in time - be the biggest part of the business IMO.

Look at IGT - they started by purchasing their own platform (Wagerworks), their own casino (Kerching) too and they have gone down exactly the same route. Both companies are aggressively targetting social gaming platforms too. It's a wheels-in-motion thing.

Hello everyone,

I got an update from our Games Manager in regards to the VMS situation which I thought might be of interest to everyone here.

As you may have noticed, the WMS content has been taken down from all operators, and we are in the process of taking them down as well. Unfortunately, there were some load issues with the games which were not possible to replicate on staging environments, so WMS is currently investigating solutions to this problem. In regards to the case where we credited €150 to a player, this is simply because the load issues have also affected the back end, so we are not able to look up game rounds for the time being, which is one of the major reasons for us to take the games down. Instead of making the player wait until these issues have been fixed, we decided to take the players word for it so that the player could continue playing.

We are also planning on launching more WMS content in the upcoming months. We cannot say any exact release dates, but we can confirm WOZ Ruby Slippers and Alice are among the games due to be released on Nordicbet within the next couple of months

We will keep you posted on when we can have these games live again. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Robin

Super bummed. Hope they get sorted.

A somewhat topical development today:

Old / Expired Link



Pretty sure it was them that bought Barcrest from IGT a while back too.

I usually dont complain about slotplay out in the open, but after this disaster @ Nordicbet i must. Where are the extra % RTP? I have never had a session as bad as those i had on Nordicbet over @ JPP. It was a complete joke. I rather stick to Jackpotparty where i have a shot at the Jackpot and get features AND where the Bruce Lee slot dont look like it was made for Atari in 1984!

Burned through 2 large deposits in 30 minutes. Medium bets, medium games. Yuck!

I recommend those who can play at Jackpotparty to continue playing there. IMHO!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

What was your bankroll and what stake were you playing Bruce Lee at?

That's probably the highest variance slot WMS produce, an extra 4% on the RTP won't guarantee anything over a few hundred spins, it's going to be a few thousand spins at least before you start to feel the difference, and realistically tens of thousands of spins before you'd expect to see results at Jackpot Party and NordicBet really start to diverge - and as always with that slot, unless you hit the 20 free spins round you're going to be up against it somewhat.

 

[hinchy]

Not played at Nordicbet before, how do they compare to say Jackpot Party i.e bonuses, payouts etc?

They wont come close the bonuses with 10xWR that JPP have i guess. But speaking Netent they are pretty good. I dont have any numbers though.

Well im gonna sound stupid now i guess but my bankroll was 113€ with 0.90 bet. I was ready to delete my post but i´ll let it be as a reminder of not to post too soon after a loss, a real irritating loss/losses, but nontheless...maybe i was a bit harsch. I just didnt expect my experience to be worse than JPP! Im actually gonna head over there now for a deposit.

 

[LaHutti]

Hush about Canadians....just hush ... Just had a small session playing Bruce Lee, Zeus and Wizard of oz ... not telling where

I think we might be in need of a Canada the beautiful thread ... lol

I was thinking of posting this after you Canadian people had gone to bed for tonight. You know...just to avoid any trouble

But I may as well post it now hehe.

Nordicbet has given me a list of restricted countries regarding their WMS games (I am guessing this will apply regardless of casino, but I did not ask)

Afghanistan
Antigua & Barbuda
Australia
Belgium
Canada
China
Cuba
France (and all of its territories and holdings)
Iran
Iraq
Japan
Libya
Malaysia
Palestinian Territory
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Sudan
Switzerland
Syria
USA (and all of its states, territories, holdings and commonwealths, including without limitation the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands)
Israel
Gibraltar
Indonesia
Turkey

 

[LaHutti]

Guess someone just wants to force us to go to great Canadian Casinos and play the games on 88% RTP machines...if anyone wants to play them that bad gawd!

Thanks for the update tho, Rainy

 

[dionysus]

Well, crap on toast, here i thought we might cut a break. Ah well nordic, twas fun, but when theres restricted games in the list, its off to greener pastures. Hope redbet gets their betsoft soon.

So im curious what they will do. Like igt for example, if a canadian tries to opena game, it says restricted. However, here the game opens and plays. If you dont happen to see CM and you go there and play do they just say, ' aww, sorry, all wins voided'?
