Official Videoslots presents Battle of Slots!

[DreamRJ]

Maybe we are all wrong in how we approach it. Maybe we should all say we love RAW slots so much and please use them all the time because they are so fantastic. (reverse psychology) xD

I mean it is no secret that they watch and read every post we all make in this thread

 

[Team.Videoslots]

can you also tell us what slots?

Hi @Johanzson,

Thanks for asking.

The Games for the Battle Weekend will soon be announced.

Kind Regards,
Team Videoslots

 

[Team.Videoslots]

Some of the Freerolls were removed from the schedule today. Like the 10:15 and 22:15.
Is it on purpose or by mistake? @Team.Videoslots

Hi @stokes,


Thanks for informing us.

We can confirm the time 22:15 is correct on the Lobby.

Kind Regards,
Team Videoslots

Not a fan of RAW either but there is no denying that most of them can deliver massive wins, but like Hacksaw there is very little in the base on most of them. They are very much an all or nothing game and way too high variance for my taste, I will put the odd 100 spins in them if feeling flush.

I hated scatters matter to start with but after the battles I quite liked the concept just needs more smaller wins in the base, as if you don't bonus it you're screwed. But of course annoyingly like all HV games even if you do you still could get a low paying bonus, which is always the price to pay for a game that can deliver 10000x +

Like all monster variance games, they suffer from hard to get bonuses that do have very low pays as well, which is why most low rollers won't even give them chance.

I definitely think they should put a bit of RTP% back into the base game. Aztec Ascension suffers badly in this regard, and it's exacerbated by the occasional massive base wins you can get. If you're going to put 40% or less into the base game you want to be doing everything you can to make it play nicely, so the player at least bothers to stick around to get the bonus. Some RAW slots don't do this, and SM and AA are prime examples.

Forge of Hephaestus is on another fucking planet however. The average bet is never going to be much more than 20p with a profile like that, surely. They did a great job with Ave Caesar Dynamic Ways by making the maths a bit tougher, and it worked because the original game was as flat as a witch's tit. With FOH it feels like they've taken a game mechanic that will naturally give the player a lumpy game, and then turned the lumpiness up to 11 on top of that, completely unnecessarily. The number of FOH battles I've played where 100 spins returns me less than 10x (and sometimes even 0x) just makes me not want to ever go near it with real money. You'll never get extended play with a profile like that, even at low stakes.

Some of the RAW slots, especially the most recent ones like SM and AA have excellent presentation; great graphics and sounds, really highly-polished visuals, very nicely produced overall. But we all know the key ingredient to any slot is the maths. I think a few RAW games fall down here unfortunately. But then maybe I'm an old-school player who likes entertainment and value for money - rather than the slim chance of unicorn wins - and the core player base has moved on and left me behind...

RAW are not actually that bad and steadily improving.

Yes they are the "new boys" and started off awful with those dreadful slice games, however have improved well since.

Games which can pay well for small stakes, Shinobi, Popeye, Ali Baba, Ave Caesar, Scatters Matter, “Forge of Heph” even that 10p one from last BW.

Of course I'd prefer a 20p Prag and maybe a 10p Play'n GO but I'd also like a 10K no wagering bonus too

From 164 rewards last BW, I struggled to make £40 which was VERY disheartening.

Forge of Hepatitis? (Newly named by other CM members) surely you’re joking? You would actually play that slot for real money or enjoy it during battle weekend? It’s absolutely dreadful thanks for giving VS the suggestion though

Please, please PLEASE let the .20p slot be Daimyo or Mighty Viking over Forge…

Open chat,, go through motions.

Escalated to another department. No time frame.

Likely spent over 35 minutes in chats, waiting. Every week the same song and dance. Definitely losing faith in VS.

Didn't say I liked it lol, just that it can (albeit rare) pay well from small bets.

Unlikely I would play any RAW given my tiny playing budget and deposit sizes, not due to them all being crap, just that I prefer other games.

Probably slightly bias as once had 5FS in it from somewhere and fluked the bonus for 200x of "free money"

 

[Jono777]

Big UGH! to tonight's games

"Pennies" all round then?

Not sure if Hephaestus would be too bad for the battle weekend. Player will get alot of rewards and the game doesn't reset itself after the free spins. So big amount of rewards + collecting game is not the worst option to my ear. For four-hour battles, an absolute no no

 

[qaz]

A big thumbs up for this innovative feature, I love it!

 

[Itaghai]

Unless... there is a slight structure change in one of the battles like last week event

 

[ninuoh]

Why battles last 12 min?

 

[anddi32]

Imagine 12 mins 10 man, every battle takes full time plus 600+ queues. Oh man, today is extra lazy day.

 

[Pixie]

8 minutes would be great but we get 12 minutes

 

[Video_Poker_Pro]

skipping this one, waiting for battle weekend

 

[kat1992]

@Team.Videoslots tomb of madness isnt crediting money you get from freespins same issue as a while ago when reactoonz didnt credit either.
Better to change the slot or everyone will be flooding support

 

[Jono777]

These events are getting pointless.

Why don't we just scrap them all, Mystery Mondays, Epic Thursdays and Clash of Spins whilst we're here.

THEN,

Run a 72hour event at the end of each month Fri/Sat/Sun 1 x 0.10 and 1 x 0.20 games (10/30 man) and change the games every 24h.

... and not 12 minutes !

 

[Alisa77]

Why battles last 12 min?

Now at -19 minutes

 

[thisismatteh]

If Tome freespins isn't crediting winnings, then its time to remove and replace with a different game. Maybe put it to 5 minute battles instead of 12 as well. Holy heck what a gongshow.

Additionally, support told me last night they were aware of Play'n'Go freespins not crediting winnings to accounts, and STILL went ahead. What the hell is going on over there???

 

[Jono777]

... and not 12 minutes !

Defo not, changing to 12 mins from 10 is just "penny pinching" IMO.

Punishing us for last Thursday Fair play eh?

 

[Itaghai]

I just had a look at "My Battles" tab, I'm averaging one 10 man battle every 19 - 20 minutes
