My only sample regarding Reel King MW is that when getting bonus and the retrig I regularly got a multiplier increase, I haven't seen one for months and months. As Hideki1991 said just a wander through new games, and then go back and play the same game 3 or 6 months later. I know that its not really representative of anything, it might just be interesting.

Definitely Fat Rabbit for me.

I think that would be interesting. I think new games pay better at first and then get turned down as they become popular. I think a good example of this is Reel King Megaways. When you got the extra spins bonus at first you regularly got a multiplier bonus, now its virtually non existent.

That is amazing! Very well done.

Cool what days are you likely to be there?

Will has mentioned on screen and my Facebook thread is full of adverts for ICE at the Excel Centre in London. I just wondered if anyone knows if there is enough for the enthusiastic amateur to see to make it worth going? At the least we might get to meet Will so that would be worth it............🤷‍♂️

I had decided that I would bet £20 per week too. The first £20 went without a bonus (I had misread the rules about the biggest win), I popped a second £20 on and hit a few bonuses, none more than 10X. I am not going to continue with this but will follow this thread to see how it goes. Good luck to everyone!

The Casino will eventually get every penny you have if you play long enough. There is an entertainment factor that is slightly intangible, if you perceive value from your time playing then that is worth something. My original question was around the maths of how it works, Wills explanation was quite good. I am little bit geeky with the maths. Using Wills analogy, when a game is published there seems to be a huge pot full of balls that the designer knows when all are played will return 95%, some will return 0x, some 25000x, when you hit the button you randomly get a ball from the bucket with a predetermined value, most are 0x, some are 0.5x etc etc. That's how you can get bonus after bonus, or like me play 300-400 spins often without even a tease.

Bugger, I really should read the rules!

Cheers Will, I wasn't being arsey, its something that has interested me for a while. I get your red ball analogy, perhaps when I play slots they have just taken the red ball away!

So I just read the article about RTP on the forum. It says "If a slot has an RTP of 95%, you then know that the slot should keep the remaining 5%. This means if you were to play a slot for an infinite amount of time, you could expect to be paid 95% of your money back" Surely, and I am being a pedant here, if you played for an infinite amount of time the house edge will gobble up all your money, albeit in 5% splices. I do understand that house edge pays for the casino and the entertainment derived from it. When I go to Vegas or even the local casino I know that the money I lose pays for the place to exist and that is the fee for the entertainment I get form gambling.

A quick question regarding the RTP and how its worked out. Will had his fantastic 68k win the other week. I assume that the RTP is worked out across all players of a any given game? If so, assuming the game had an RTP of 98% does that mean that the rest of the players would need to lose 69.5k to make up for it? Is that too simplistic? I just wondered how the maths are worked out.

I have surrendered already. Over 300 spins, not even remotely close to bonusing, it did hold the balance well, but did gobble up my balance. Good luck to everyone else taking part.

Done!

My favourite part of this, apart from the win, was Will's growing realisation that it was going to be huge. He started with its going to be a gib, then 10k, 20k etc etc until the end, I love the raw emotion of it all, it just goes to show that you don't need to do massive stakes to both win big and provide a great deal of entertainment, Am so pleased for you all.

For me Iron Bank seems the most exctiting

You sound nice............not!

Like everyone lockdown has been hard. Over the last year I lost both My partner and my mum to lung cancer, both were shielding and weren't diagnosed until it was too late. Its been a sad time, and as i have said on the forum before Will and 2Jags were very generous. From a work point of view nothing really changed for me as I have been working from home for a few years, although it was odd that we couldn't meet up with my team at all for nearly a year. The big thing for me is that I have decided now is the time to retire as I am nearly 60, I am very lucky. I have found that I have gambled more than I used to, not massive amounts, and certainly nothing that I couldn't afford, but i will now rein it in a little bit, the devil makes work for idle hands.
