Winner Screenshots - October 2023

[casguy2016]

Great way to start October....never had 3 of them before....

Was testing out Bonanza, Extra Chilli, White Rabbit, and Sugar Rush on bonus buys. Did around 50 buys across all the slots in the price range between 0.4 to 5 EUR. Most i played on Sugar Rush, on which i lost the most as well.

The 'safest to buy' were Bonanza and White Rabbit. It was almost guaranteed to get wins between 40-70x back on average compared to Sugar Rush which was paying under 30x literally 7 out of 10 bonus buys.

Here is the shittest 300 EUR bonus buy return:




About the Extra Chilly results, it's a game of gamble within a gamble. Sure it's possible to win from the first 8 free spins, but naturally you receive more wins if you've successfully gambled and received additional spins.

This is the reason BTG mentions the gamble feature for more spins is an optimal strategy and has a slightly better RTP. Well, that's clear because you have more spins that provide you with more chances for extra wins. In simple words, it means you're less likely to get 20x return if you have 16 or more free spins instead of 8 lol...

Here is the best of Chilly:




The best wins were the following, and luckily after nearly 20 useless Sugar Rush bonus buys; it paid something decent back.




Here is the best of Bonanza:




Then one 100 EUR bonus buy on Big Bass; this was a good one because often it just runs all the 10x spins with no wins.




Don't do bonus buy people, it's shit, you won't win!

I have been going to the land casino and got this last night. I managed a 900 win in all and i started out with 30 bucks. It feels nice to win for a change.

 

[slotmaster]

[slotmaster]

Got a retrigger and got up to 16x multiplier

Bit harsh, you can apply that logic to non bonus buy slot playing, but we all still do it LOL

The note is for me as well, and I hope it sticks.

That feature buy stuff can literally wipe the winnings gained over hours of playing in a minute. Getting rid of them and preventing cashout reversals, to me, are the two most useful things UKGC has done.

Sure, just bring back auto!

They could have removed the raise buttons too, don't see the point as I've had as many bonuses with or without it from all I can figure.

 

[Reelsoffun]

Personally I would have preferred to keep bonus buys and autoplay

Cashout reversals totally agree not that I ever did them anyway, but to me bonus buys didn't need to be banned, if you can't control yourself on them or use them carefully maybe you shouldn't be gambling at all IMO.

Overall you can lose just as much chasing a bonus on a game than buying one if not actually more!

Maybe a better option would have been an opt in or out of them at account level like limits rather than out right banning. All its really done is pushed players that still want to play them to crypto.

 

[KasinoKing]

I have played lots of different games, but have not managed a single win over 100x for 9-days!
(That's a VERY long time for me)
No great surprise though, at which game finally ended this terrible nightmare drought...

When bonus buys were available in the UK, i never bothered with them. Plus i typically played games that didn't offer this feature anyway, like Novomatic's Lucky Lady, Dolphin, Faust, and Book of Ra. Also, Book of Dead by Playn'Go, and sometimes Netent slots.

I'm one of those who never stays in one slot for long; 300 spins at max. Generally, i don't believe to things that the win is soon to come, and keep playing for 1000s of spins. Once i was grinding Lucky Lady on BetVictor all day at max bet and the bonus feature did not come. That lesson taught me to better give up and try something else instead.

But there is crypto play now and I've shifted away from UK casinos and play about once or twice a month. And since i don't stay in one slot for long, i was trying a lot of feature buys, the count should be near 1000 during the year at various prices of up to 750 EUR per feature.

Based on my experience, i see bonus buys as those roulette games in UK bookie shops a few years back which could blow people's weekly wages in about 5 spins.

What are bonus buys good for? To try at times features that rarely come during regular gameplay, but only paying for them the smallest cost. Other than that, bonus buys are perfect for people who don't really need money; streamers like Trainwreck and similar characters.

Knowing that there is a shortcut, a regular money-conscious Joe would quickly hit rock bottom when chasing losses using these buys, especially on high volatility slots that have many feature buy options, Hacksaw, etc.

Banning them? No probably not, but it's worth keeping in mind - they are dangerous bastards.

Just thought I would mention the gamble in extra chilli. Have to disagree that best strategy is to gamble. Personally find my best wins have been from 8 spins and the screenshots I've saw with the biggest wins have all been from 8 spins as well.

That's BTG's recommendation, and think they recommend it because there is a tiny difference in RTP which in reality doesn't make much sense. But they don't mention that there is a 2nd layer of risk involved when going for a gamble lol... Here is how i see it:

Example:

From 8 spins the slot pays 30x on average
From 16, 20, and 24 spins the slot can on average pay more than 30x (because we have more spins)

So...

16, 20, 24 spins = More possible wins, regardless of the size of each win.

I was talking more of min buy bonuses and not the likes of hacksaw or other monstrous x buy bonuses talking to you relax and NLC LOL but I agree with you in most part.

I would say that they say gamble as mathematically more spins is worth more as a higher multi will be in play but you would still need luck to hit something at the higher multis and more spins.

As you only have 50/50 chance on the first gamble your relying on luck to offset the gambles that lose, and to pay more on the ones that win by the amount you lose etc…..

it’s about a 1 in 10 to get the 24 spins I think, been I while since I looked at the math and then you need like 250x to break even due to some will lose down to the 8, 12 etc

it’s a little more complex than that but you get the drift.

Yeah mate, exactly that happened, 2 bonuses in a short period of spins. On my end was like 4 or 5 maybe. Basegame is also decent, the multipliers appearances is well balanced.

 

[Guntis]

Money Train 4 seems also quite playable. Better than Dead or Alive 2? I would say yes because based on my last plays Money Train gives better base game wins. Had also a couple of features but both were under 40x.

Here's the base game win.

last week I was doing Roknrolla style 10 spin on 10 lol I hit 3 wilds on game but all low multi still paid $390 unlucky

 

[satchnz]

Here’s a couple of decent ones worth sharing from tonight’s play.

Extra Juicy Megaways - 586x


Space Donkey - 508x
