Operation Slotmeister June 2015, Chapter god knows what number....
32Red, 14th June. £100 deposit, £50 bonus. £1,500 WR. I start on Dark Knight at min bet.
During the first 112 spins, I went no lower than £143 and no higher than £154. Spin 113 provided the first hit....
Pic 1 - It doesn't look like much. Just 9 5OAKs of Qs....until the Joker came in and boosted it to 4x. 27.9x bet becomes 111.6x bet.
That was my only 100x win, but I never dropped below £160, thanks to a lot of those...cough..."big wins" (where "big" = 10x

)
I peaked at £212, before quitting at £200, after 658 spins played.
I then went back to Dark Knight the next day, playing another 414 spins. No 100x wins (best win was 84x).
Peaked at £224, valleyed at £186, quit on £210, and switched to Golden Era.
I played 919 spins on Golden Era. Again, no 100x wins (best was 89x), but I somehow squeezed a small profit.
Peaked at £230, valleyed at £195, quit on £217, and switched to Playboy. And I made a good start...
Spin 21...Jillian feature...68x. Spin 29...Jillian feature...55x. Spin 60...Kimi feature...85x. Up to £279.
Over the course of the next 265 spins, I went no lower than £253 and no higher than £280. I was at £268 when I triggered the feature again.
I had already tried the Jillian, Kimi and Ashley features. This time, I went for Sofia. And it paid off...
Pic 2 - I'd never 5OAKed anything better than the car symbol on this feature before when getting at least 2 reels of stacked wilds.
This time I did. 18 x 5OAKs of Kimi and also of 10s. Other wins bumped it up to 636x bet, my second biggest single spin win on the
Sofia feature. Biggest is 855x bet.
Pic 3 - Total for the round - 657.9x bet. And it came from a 4 scatter trigger

. My second biggest ever round total for the Sofia feature.
Biggest is 870.33x bet. Up to £465 and now a cashout looks on the cards. But there's still almost £950 of WR to go.
That turned out to be my peak balance of the Playboy stint. I played a further 774 spins (1100 in total) and didn't see another 100x win
(best was 96x). Peaked at £465, valleyed at £408, quit on £425. £711 of WR left to meet.
And I switch to IR. And because I've got a good cushion, I decide not to stick to min betting and go for 60p a spin instead.
And on the 33rd spin, it looked like a good decision.....
Pic 4 - My 21st 3-reel WD. And for the first time from a 3-reeler, I 5OAK Troy. Which means the only two symbols I haven't 5OAKed
from a 3-reeler are Michael and As. 360x bet. And the cashout is surely in the bag now.
Pic 5 - Proof it was the 33rd spin.
I probably should have bolted after that to fully capitalise on that early stroke of luck. And just ground out the remaining WR on Golden Era or something. But I didn't, because I love a marathon IR session and I knew I was a lock to clear WR. I could also afford to take a heavy hit and
still make a decent cashout. And given the number of times I've had marathon IR sessions in the past which ended up being quite awesome,
I suppose I could forgive myself for thinking that this one could be the latest of them. But it didn't turn out that way.
My next biggest win after the 3-reel WD win was only 76x. By the time I cleared WR, I had dropped to £426, just £1 more than I had
at the start of the IR session. I played on hoping to claw something back, but by the time I dropped to £365, I decided I had to stop at £350
or else I could end up spazzing the whole lot away. I got a win that got me above £375 and not long after, I dropped back to £375.
After a total of 1691 spins of IR played, I quit and cashed out for £375, bagging another 7,000 Slotmeister leaderboard points along the way.
Which was enough to get me back into the Top 3.
In the end, a good and positive result. But with a more prudent game selection decision, the result could have been much better.
