    5) Slots that take far to long to bonus

    6) Bonuses that pay very little or zero what’s the point it just a long way of giving you a small win you could get with a 5 of a kind low symbols.

    Does anyone else look at the bonus and look at the amount spins it awards you and say well its gave me  £xxx of spins for free. Do the games count that or is it just based on your stake x whatever the systems decides your getting?

    Jackpot bells when you get a 15x win.  Even worse is when 10x is classed as a big win!  I think Blueprint and Big Time Gaming got the right idea where “big win” territory on Bonanza / Diamond Mine etc starts at 30x or 50x.

    Centurion slot on £2 where the Roman twat pops out of the bushes with a big win sign and you think YES !!!  Then colllect your £20 to cut the loss of the £100 you put in to get it.

    I had a DHV bonus last night, saved it and decided to do quickly do a few things and came back to it and it paid £28. Does this mean if I had chose another time to play the bonus I could have won more or less?

    Only BTG can definitively answer that question, but yes my understanding is that DHV and Bonanza bonus rounds, each spin is random. Not that this means anything; you’d have just as much a chance of winning less had you played it a different time as winning more, but it would mean your outcome would have been different in some way.

     

    Thanks for the explanation. Damn, I think I might have been luckier if I chose a different time haha

    The endless teasing is the worst, especially when it gets to the point where its happening almost 5+ in a row with no bonus.

    My pet peves when I gambled… I’ve stopped since December 2018….

    1. Getting a decent bonus with a high multiply and winning nothing.. Like on the Casino Pharoes Fortune with like 18 spins and a x4/x5 paying like 20x.. Should be minimum 100x ?

    2. Staff in casinos who get you the coffee but hide a lot. ☕?

    3. Managers in general ??

    4. When lucky lady charm is not lucky…. Fucking Biatch… Opps sorry. Yeah I’m a charmer Not.

    5. I hate these new systems in the casino where you use your Points card for play instead of printing the tickets or cash. I feel like there following/Watching  your play ?

    6. 6am when they close ??

    They definitely hide when its time to produce some free coffee ?. And luckily the Casinos here in Brighton never close ?

    ?? I can definitely relate to the Centurion one. He says “big won” and only hits the first three wheels for something like £40ish on £2 stake, its so annoying. Reelus Maximum saved me yesterday when I was in tilt. Gave me 7 x 5 of a kind Jacks for £240 at the last moment. Phew ??

    I get kinda pissed off at ‘wins’ that are less than the stake. Or when you fill the screen of a symbol after missing reel 1 of course ?.

    They ironically count as “wins” too just to piss you off more.

    There should be a rule of instead of it being a win it says the amount you lost on the spin haha

    £2 spin – £0.80 return = £1.20 loss (shown on the screen instead of “win”)

    BTG Games piss me off when they make a 5x win look like a fucking 250x win on the screen. Fucking drives me crazy. Making a big song and dance over a shitty win.

    Oh yeah and fucking Bonanza!

    I know the the feeling. It seems almost sarcastic that it makes a big fuss over a small win.

    1. Dead spins in a bonus

    2. Retrigger teases in the bonus that are basically just dead spins

    3. Slots where you have to choose some symbol for number of bonus spins / multiplyer etc …. it’s all pre determined just cut the bullshit and get on with it

    4. Slots seem to know when your running out of money and wait until you have changed your stake to 60p to use up the last of your money and roll in a bonus after doing bugger all on £2 spins

    5. The bonanza music

    I see that all the time too. The chances are way too slim to see it happen that often.

    I started putting the machines just one volume setting above the mute so its low as they seem to have gotten louder. Then when you exit and change games the volume goes back to the medium setting which everyone can hear. That’s when you get the lurkers coming over to be nosey. The big win bell and whistles have definitely gotten worse over the years I mind they never made a fuss unless it was the jackpot. They have adapted it over the years to make it more appealing to people.
