    I know Dune better for the mid-90s dance / hardcore act.  It does like like a computer game too though like you said.

    Edit: sorry I was meant to quote Ejit’s post.

    More importantly, Dune is a dance act.  Famous for Hardcore Vibes and many other rave anthems.

    The poll was deleted before I saw it but I guess it was along the lines of high stakes or due to Reel King.  The Bandit did say at the beginning that if you don’t like Reel King then press fast forward.  Personally I like Reel King but as the B3 / arcade version.

    The Bandit also said later on in the video that if you don’t like £20 stakes, then divide it by 10.  My mentality however is to pretend that the Bandit is using SEK currency, and that 20 SEK is roughly equivalent to £2.  Or 5 SEK is 50p which is my territory for online gambling.

    The first one looks like Ivanhoe but I don’t recognise some of the symbols on that pic.

    Congrats on Primal, and even more so that you have something to show for it.  I thought that TVs went up to 60″ – didn’t know they now go to 75″!  The floor, sofas, walls and speakers go well together colour wise.

    Agreed – Holy Diver is up there for me.  It’s the first time I’ve seen the music video, so I find it interesting to see how the game designers took note of themes and ideas from the video.  Then add elements that are consistent with BTG and turned it into the slot as we know it now.

    Some of my other favourite slot feature music: (I like rock music and dance music alike)

     

    – Spinal Tap

    – Peking Luck

    – Vikings MegaWays

    – Laser Fruit

    – White Rabbit

    – Donuts (even though (I’ve never bonused it myself)

    – Fruit Warp

    – Flame Busters, for the love of 8-bit!

    – All 4 features from Immortal Romance

    – Dragon’s Fire

    – Time is Money

    – Last but not least, the “big win” dance music from Bruce Lee

    in reply to: Let’s look at a slot’s programming #53540

    I thought I’d bump this thread for Argyl as I found this an interesting read.

    I don’t know PHP, but your program reads similar to how it would have been in if it was written in JavaScript, Python and Pascal (a combination of those).  Your REM statements explained the program very well and teaches a good starting point in slots maths.

    There was a debate on page 1 here about what random is.  I know that some programming languages will use a lookup table which is just a large set of numbers where were pre-determined back at the factory.  An example of this is on the BBC Micro computer, where using the RND command will output the first result seen in the table.  If you switch the BBC off and back on again, RND will pull the first result again.

    In QBASIC (PCs running Windows or DOS), you can type in RANDOMISE TIMER, then any RND commands after that will use the CPU’s clock.  Each second is divided into milliseconds (and even smaller segments) and the RND command will pull whichever thousandth or millionth of a second it was on in order to generate a result.

    For slots, they can be online or offline (arcade / shops).  I’m not sure about offline, but online slots will be (or should be) sync’d with the World Clock, as per Android and Apple devices that are always online.

    I’ve not played Ticket to the Stars.

    Donuts is the one I that can’t seem to bonus.

    DHV, White Rabbit, Dragon Born, Holy Diver, Temple Quest are no problem.  Hell I’ve even managed to bonus Bonanza and that’s super rare, but Donuts… no!

    I’m not sure about nowadays, but back in 2015, William Hill deducted 2% when I used Paypal.  So £50 from Paypal gave me £49 in pay money.

    That looked pretty convincing!  The heart rate (etc) monitor is the exact sort of image that BBC News web site would have used 😀

    I have £50/month limit on Video Slots and £50/month limit on Royal Panda.  This month I’ve had £55 raise on VS and lost the £50 on Panda, so I’m £5 up this month!

    Cheers for the link Slotking74. If you right click on the slot, select “this frame” > “show this frame only”, then the slot will re-open in full screen. Much easier to see 🙂 This is in Firefox, so the wording might be different if you’re using Opera, Chrome, Safari etc.

    I played 10 demo bonuses on £1 stake. The 3 scatters always landed on reels 1-2-3 and all 10 games were at a loss. These were my findings on this small sample size:

    Queen – 16x
    Ace – 42x
    Ace – 25x
    Jack – 10x
    Queen – 26x
    Ace – 46x
    Scarab – 58x
    Jack – 63x
    Scarab – 98x
    Nine – 18x

    FAO admins – I received a couple of error messages when posting this.  1st error because It was logged out, then 2nd error saying it was a duplicate post.  So a heads up if anyone queries this.

    in reply to: Sky and Virgin Media !!! #52234
    ImperialDragon WANTED $70

    Ahhh Virgin Media (and NTL).

    Back in the NTL days, the medium internet tariff was £25/month.  That was starting in 2002.  In 2006, NTL (and Telewest) got absorbed into Virgin Media.  My sister became a new customer and she got onto the same medium tariff but at £20/month.  When I found out, I got onto billing and asked them to explain the £5 difference.  I was told that NTL customers were on an old contract.  I asked them to put me onto the new contract and that indeed brought me down to £20/month.  However, unlike the old £25 fixed rate, the new rate has crept up £1-£2 every year so that I now pay £38/month.  Just for the internet!  I wonder if I opened a can of worms when I got out of the old £25 contract, and would it still be £25 now?  Anyway, I’m going to ditch Virgin soon and get into Plusnet which is the same approx. 75mbit line speed but at half the cost.

    Off-topic, but I’m going to move from EE too.  I’m supposedly locked in a 2-year “contract”.  Contract should mean fixed rate for 2 years, then I receive a letter to say that my bill is going up 3% which works out an extra £1.40.  As the Bandit would say – that’s dirty.  Once that contract is up in June, I’m changing providers to O2 and will go sim-only.  Everyone needs to ditch phone contracts asap as the major carriers are moving to 3-year contracts.

    Customers will vote with their feet (and their wallet).
