What are the worst slots you have played?

[spindoctor99]

For me the worst slots I have played are Black Mamba and Saxon. Both are by Play n Go. The bonuses are really hard to get and the bonuses I have had were absolute dogshit. I honestly don't know how you win on those two slots. Saxon is one of those games where it has lots of potential but never pays off. Saxon is horrendous for deadspins and you could do 50-100 spins and not win a cent. Play n Go use to be an innovative provider but they just keep bringing out slots which are putrid and half of them are just reskins of existing slots.

The guys at Play n Go seem chuffed that they are one of the few providers not doing bonus buys but who would pay 50-100x for a bonus on a play n go slot. It would be an absolute miracle just to break even for a buy.

Both Black Mamba and Saxon are on the banned list.

Its different strokes for different folks - I actually quite like Black Mamba and have had a few wins in the 250 to 500x range - and one for over 1000x

Have had some decent wins on Black Mamba and Saxon, over 500X for sure. I only play them on the highest RTP, so would expect these to suffer if you played on the 92 or 94% versions.

I remember those slots as mildly entertaining. Certainly better than any slot with hold & win or bonus buys being the only way to get a "super" bonus.

This is a Raw subject for me.

 

[conker]

Great subject @spindoctor99, something we don't tend to dwell on that much. However, now there are over 25k real money slots on the internet, there are bound to be a few duffers

So, I want to know if you worst means:

-worst looking, terrible sounds, aweful graphics etc.

-worst pays, meanest bonus features, just nothing rewarding coming out of it.

Raw gaming definelty belongs in this thread, In my opinion, and anything with rapid fire jackpots, Or anything with the word Blitz in the title.

 

[Webzcas]

All the prehistoric RTG slots, such as Achilles and their like. I mean even back in the day I found them awful.

Thankfully over the past 15 years RTG have upped their game considerably.

 

[satchnz]

Almost all slots with Play’N Go on them. Pretty much any Pragmatic slot that isn’t newly released (they seem to nerf Prags to buggery as they get older).

The worst individual game I've seen is 'Sun winning headlines', it's on all the Sun newspaper sites, Sun Bingo etc.

The paytable doesn't look too bad at first glance. Especially a 5OAK of wilds.

The freespins are attained by landing a bonus symbol on reel 1, reel 2 and reel 3. BUT those 3 symbols must land on an active payline.

Then you pick bonus symbols from a 3x5 grid until 'Start' is picked. The symbols reveal spins or a multiplier.

It normally gives only 2 or 3 picks before 'Start' comes up, usually with 8 or 10 spins and a 1x or 2x multiplier.

But, the worst thing about this game, is that there's a separate paytable for the freespins. Which, apart from the 5OAK of wilds, is around 40% of the base game paytable. Meaning you need a 3x-4x multiplier, just to reach the same payouts as the base game.

Those pays pertain to coins don't they? The 10,000x being 500x stake on a 20-line arrangement. The reason I ask is that I am pretty sure I played a version of this game, if not the same graphics with an identical pay table and feature trigger. There's a few of them about.

 

[Mouse75]

As far as i am concerned, have to agree - it could pay out 100%, be the most fun and exciting game going, but if says the S** - see you later!

I have an issue with playngo slots as there is just way too many dead spins and they give micro wins which equate to 9% of your stake. Winning 0.18 on a $2 bet is not a win.. its a big fat loss.

Graphics are ok with Saxon but the slot itself is putrid. There is just way too many dead spins so unless you get a bonus early its generally a big fat loss.

Yup every game it seems like 99.9% of the RTP is locked away in the bonus and almost every time I play them on 96% rtp x50 down in 5 mins, x100 down in 10mins , x200 20 mins etc every game is a base game blood bath more than 90% of the time, over a decade of playing them and when was the last time you hit something in the base that was meaningful? for me prob jsut a handful of times, designed to destroy your balance so you need a bonus and if it doesn't pay you are fucked.

play n go broke, suck some serious butthole.
During sports betting for ridiculous amounts of hours over the past few years, as some might remember, I mentioned I'd done alot of spins on BOD on 1line 1p/2p stakes. Alot of spins. Managed 5000x on 3 occasions. Despite those 3 max hits, to give anidea of playtime, the total loss I estimate is approx - 35,000x .
I'd play it mid sports betting, or when utterly bored (been semi crippled for a while now thanks to the NHS, so am bored a lot!) . For the first half of the few years I did this, it was 96% . My boredom busting tactic was to play until it hit 750x or better. On 1 line at 96% ,
Out of endless attempts, month after month after month, this stratergy, while definitely not a winning one, proved to provide playtime without constant horrific sessions inbetween. If I hadn't hit it during 1 day,it was coming at some point during one of the returning sessions on the next day.

Halfway through playing this boredom busting strategy, the bookies i use for sportsbets lowered it from 96% to 94%. So I adopted this strategy once more, but every week was the same.
Day after day, week after week, months... , the time gaps between hitting 750x 5oak symboks or better were consistently so large, I played on in utter disbelief. What would occur within 10 or 20 hours, pretty consistently, the 750x dropping either via base or bonus now occurs every 30 to 100 hours, and more often around the latter.

I am convinced they did this knowing that many players don't leave BOD on 1 line until hitting something worth looking at, since on 1 line 98/100 spins usually return nothing, and the 'fun' takes some time to find.
So generally, a 1 line player usually chases something before quitting, even if its a just a handful of features. Something that provides some dopamine during the 1975/2000 dead spins they're set on smashing through.

If you played it on 94% the way I did, to chase such wins, you'd realise quickly just how much rarer they are now. I never once recall going over 30 hours for it to drop the 750x, playing on 1 line. But at 94%, I cannot recall going under 30 hours between such hits. Countless timesI was adding the session hours into the 3 figure mark! The devastation this had on the bankroll, for endless sessions, even at 1p, was really quite something to behold.

Scumbag company

 

[kuff13]

My vote goes to the pragmatic play big bass games. Absolutely hate them since theres a clear pattern in the bonuses

 

[slot_zombie]

Immortal Romance Vein Of Gold.

One of the most tedious, pernicious collections of mechanics to be found in a single slot, and an almost unobtainable scatter bonus. Slow death by a thousand tiny base game wins, locked away value in the mega and major pots (which aint coming out..) and misleading stacked reels of Amber which never make it across.

Absolute disgrace to the Immortal Romance name.

Reactoonz 2 is one of the dumbest slots I've played , lots of flashing and hits, tumbles and a minute later you win 2 x.

 

[michalmarci98]

Fishing frenzy, just terrible.

worst websites? Grosvenor and 888... 888 with their 92% RTP games

 

[PatriciaF4]

Jammin' Jars 2, compared to part 1 they really messed it up and the bonus game became uninteresting. Purely my opinion, maybe someone else thinks otherwise

 

[Milaroy]

Honey Rush 2 is easily the worst slot I’ve ever played. All grind, no reward.

This is a good point. Being a hit and run type player I avoid all grind/collection over multiple spins games. Although when I first started playing online slots 5 years ago I did ‘hit and run grind’ Lil Devil over many weeks. The heartstopper bonus paid just over 1000x…
