Flamebusters was never really any good for me; I got sick of getting the bonus repeatedly only for it to actually pay less than you’d get just from having 10 paid spins in the base game. I think once I got a decent-ish 200x bonus off it, but most of the time I’d actually joke to myself in the feature “oh wow, 3x, yeah that’s a stonking great feature by this game’s standards!” – I think my lowest bonus win was 0.5x and my average was easily less than 10x.
For the most part, I still play the same games I’ve always played because I usually stick to games I know I like, will float the balance reasonably well and probably give me a few features even if they’re not spectacular. I used to love Reel King but don’t play that much any more because for the number of times Steve’s hit the top, I’ve never got close and it did my head in trying. It’s like the game after the one time it gave me 5 scrolls a few presses in decided that after that, I’d had my win and it would never pay again. Lucky Lady’s Charm is another one I used to play a lot, but is now a rare stand-out among the Novos for me, because I haven’t hit a bonus on it in about a year, yet when I first started playing it I had several 250-500x bonuses with loads of retriggers.
