Max Megaways 2 - Insane hour-long bonus

[ritae]

Never played the second version of Max Megaways (the first release was always brutal in the past), so this morning with my weekly rakeback put it on auto-play for 100 spins and the enhanced bonus came in pretty quick.

The three cases chosen were Increased Ways, Jack Turns Wild and 2 Scatter Retrigger. Normally on BTG the symbol that turns wild (Lil Devil, DHV) is no where to be seen but it appeared in numbers on nearly every spin. Retriggers started happening and after a hour of watching the wins add up, with no skipping, this was the result!

X27878 and a win multiplier of X140.

That's that then no point in anyone else playing it

Wow! Shame you didn't have a video, could've been a YT hit on a slots channel!

This will also be referenced in the hyper-wins 10,000x plus thread!

Congrats!!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

That's pretty bonkers, congrats on the hit!

For that single win to be a thing, there need to be around 30,000 dead spins in the 'pool' as it were, something to bear in mind when taking on these ultra HV monsters!

I had a tussle with both MM1 and MM2, they can be.... rough

Sort of luck you'd get normally on BTG lol

If you look closely, all the stars lined up there with the modifiers, a low royal for the wild which appears a lot, more ways and almost unlimited extra spins with the 2-scatter retrigger setting.

Is there any point playing any BTG games for a good month or two

 

[ChopleyIOM]

It makes absolutely no difference to anything

When have we ever seen Bonanza produce anything close to this on a 20p stake?

Seriously!

I didn't think this was possible bro how do you feel
20p stake!
How long was you playing before triggering that

I just now got a bonus on that game £2.79

 

[ritae]

I started recording when the multi reached X100 as I knew it was going to pop. Pretty much every free spin from this point was around $100.

The biggest single win of the entire bonus was this one:

 

[steveh35]

Course it doesn't, they are going to give that amount of money out all day everyday so everyone get playing.

I think what he means is that the ball which produced that result in the RNG goes back in the bag and theoretically any player can pull it out again next spin, in a million spins or anytime.

As opposed to compensated AWPs where the ball stays out of the bag until the game is happy enough to let it back in.

 

[onelastspintowinbig]

Amazing win congratulations ,btg do a video on their youtube of the biggest wins of the month hopefully it features on it

Yes, but this was a real win.

Ya its usually 300x wins with 100 stake ....

I think that ball will take a while to find it's way back into the bag

Yes that basically, the win ritae had there makes no difference whatsoever to what his next feature on MM2, or anyone else's next feature, will pay.

The final countdown has been nothing but absolutely brutal to me. Don't think I've ever had a bonus pay more than 50x and it often costs 100-200x to land

After I had my (real money!) win on The Final Countdown I hammered it in free play for an entire long weekend (three days) and didn't even come remotely close to getting to the x256 final round again, let alone getting there with the near perfect spins I had on my big win.

I don't want to steal ritae's thunder on this thread but if you've never seen it, I caught it on camera. It was my first ever real money play on the game, and after 24 spins I landed a feature that paid 5698x.

Can you simplify your comment please.
What do you mean by 'compensated AWPs'?

You dont mean that any single player must spin 30,000 dead spins before hitting something like that above from op do you? I'm trying to get what you mean sorry for my slowness in understanding.

 

[PlatinumFinger]

In casinos I've watched many players get hundreds of free spins in such games as Lucky Lady Charm or Rich Witch, stood there for 10s of mins to over an hour watching them, envious and aching from standing so long. Not had the pleasure myself to get even 100 or so spins in any bonus. (PB is 55 in Rich Witch iirc and merely 45 for Lucky Lady)

He's probably getting some sleep, so I'll jump in.


AWP stands for Amusements With Prizes..

Online slots are random, so no matter how much you win or lose in any particular spin, the win or loss does not have an effect on the outcome of any of the next spin(s) you might decide to take.

Compensated games (example; fruit machines that can be found in arcades or pubs in the UK) are designed to meet their advertised RTP depending on how much the machine the machine has taken, or how much the machine has recently paid out.
If someone has had a jackpot on a compensated game, or a few half decent wins in quick succession, prior to you playing it, the machine will visibly tighten up and simply refuse to offer the chance to get similar big wins until it has recovered enough back that it can once again afford to do so.

Likewise, if someone has just lost an absolute fortune on a compensated game and then you happen to luckily play it after them, the machine will likely be wanting to pay something back out , to compensate for all the money it has taken from others up to that point. It has to do this in order to keep consistent with the targeted RTP.

In general, this means that if you play a compensated game for long enough and keep getting nothing back - or irregular, tiny amounts back in return, the game will at some point begin to want to pay out bigger wins in order to compensate for all the money it had previously been taking.

So, essentially, you could play a compensated game and collect nothing while doing so, losing money, until it eventually starts becoming visibly more generous, offering bigger and bigger wins, perhaps even offering the jackpot at times, because it needs to do so in order to level the RTP back out to nearer its target. The more it takes at that point, the more it will be trying to throw something big back in order to compensate.

A random game does not care how much it has previously taken, or how much it has previously paid out. You could (lol) theoretically get a 5000x jackpot win roll in 5 times in 10 spins, 2 sessions in a row. And so could the next person who plays it. And the next.
But, a compensated game does care, and so if a compensated game has paid out 5 jackpots or something crazy, it will tighten up like a rock and quite literally refuse to let anything substantial back out until it has taken enough that it can afford to do so. Because it is designed to aim for a targeted RTP. Though this cycle varies dramatically depending on the game and how it is designed.

All games will have in the information/help screen a statement that either says "this game is random" or "this game is compensated."


I'm tired as hell, so I hope that makes sense.

Yes that sounds like claw machines, most of them are set to eat money, a few give out the prizes to keep the punters interest. I overheard someone who used to work in a betting shop or w/e say when machines paid out coins rather than paper tickets they do now when the hopper is full it has to pay out... That said the most fair form of gambling would be coin droppers as it's largely physics that you can see, more coins at the edge more will eventually drop out... We cannot see what's going on with simulated slots as that's what most are now in the UK, PCs kitted out as slot machines (Without looking at diagnostics, wouldn't that be interesting...)

Even if every spin is independent, it's foolish to think 2 jackpots would be won consecutively. If a jackpot typically pays 2000 the stake its odds are probably closer to 2500-1 so square that... That said my dad won the Columbus jackpot in 2012 and next day on another machine won it again! (Had it been same machine omg....)

Re compensated, is a layman's way to win from slots in cleaning up after people lost heavily. So is the belief, yet I saw on a video on tips to profit from slots (1/7 casino players do apparently, sounds generous) they warn you to stay away from cold machines so that's contradictory.... Indeed it is useful to read the help info for games, some have favourable mechanics that add a degree of predictability like progressive jackpots or features.

Yes, many compensated games are very beatable for the seasoned player. They show obvious signs as to what state they are currently in. Offering ceartin things only if in a 'paying' mood. Not offering ceartin things if on the take.

So 'sharking' (watching) others was an easy way of knowing if they were worth playing after someone.

They also had many very lucrative exploits, allowing people with the knowledge of such exploits to make a decent living out of them. A handful here, including myself to a degree, used to do exactly that .

Unfortunately, fruit machines are nearly extinct now in the UK, with horrid random digital games taking their place in most pubs across the country.

Yes, the odds of hitting multiple 2500x wins in a row on a random game is insanely unlikely, as is winning the lottery 3 weeks in a row. But if you were immortal and decided to spend infinite time attempting it then, one day, perhaps

 

[ChopleyIOM]

TheAddict has kindly summarised it very well in his previous two posts and yes that's basically it.

My original '30,000 dead spins in the pool' comment was around the fact that even on a random game the win posted by the OP in this thread still has to be paid for, or perhaps more accurately, 'accounted for', in the RTP.

Compensated AWPs are a very different beast and specifically a (largely) historical UK proposition. That said some of the digital cabs that can still be found in pubs are arcades here do feature compensated games so that's one to be aware of.

On a random game the chances of two very rare events happening on two consecutive spins are vanishingly small, but assuming a fair RNG there is nothing that will stop it happening.

Some folks do have a bit of a superstition that when a random game has 'paid out' there's no point them playing it because it won't chuck in another monster win for a while, which isn't the case at all.

When I used to go to the high street casinos and play Golden Game, there would be people sat around looking and waiting for players to run out of money and jump on the machine if they left, which is why the the panicing player would get the assistant to hold the machine while they went and sought the nearest cash machine with the impression it was about to pay. Most annoying on the 3 players ones were the people playing all three at once, Golden Game had a few tricks where you knew it was going to pay which is why I loved it, though I felt sorry for the woman playing the awful Party Time machine who would say "I put £300 in today and my husband will kill me" and she never won on it.

Never played the second version of Max Megaways (the first release was always brutal in the past), so this morning with my weekly rakeback put it on auto-play for 100 spins and the enhanced bonus came in pretty quick.

The three cases chosen were Increased Ways, Jack Turns Wild and 2 Scatter Retrigger. Normally on BTG the symbol that turns wild (Lil Devil, DHV) is no where to be seen but it appeared in numbers on nearly every spin. Retriggers started happening and after a hour of watching the wins add up, with no skipping, this was the result!

X27878 and a win multiplier of X140.

Compensated games these days are vile. If you are lucky enough to find one other than in a retro arcade, it's likely to be a deal or no deal affair with highly rigged box outcomes. If you are playing digitally as per most pubs these days then Blueprint is everywhere and they can take obscene amounts of money just to land a bonus that can then pay a couple of quid.
I've gone £300 into a Fishing style game on £1 stake to finally get a feature for £4. This style of gameplay repeats all too often, so I'm quite happy playing on 20p/25p a spin now to maximise play time and you can still win the £100 JP off this stake from time time and probably accounts for the feral experience you get on £1 play if somebody has just had it out on 20p!
Found more in UK arcades, Novomatic Games have gone the same way - fancy some fun on Book of Dead £100 Jackpot £1 play? All too often you can put £200-£300 in just to see a feature.
UKGC should really be addressing the need to have value for money in the gameplay so providers can't just strip you bare in the fastest time possible.
I'm happier playing 50p play on random £500 jackpots than £100 compensated these days. At least you can walk away from the £500 if you've lost and not worry about anybody winning 'your' money investment straight after you.

Very true. I profited wel over 10k from the local 3 player sit down £5 jackpot games. The pots (golden game, bars and x's) were separately stored, so If you had it near full, took nothing by avoidijg wins, kept holding O to avoid wins rolling in,, then waited for it to do the let em spin streak, you could then take a chunk of the x's and bars offered after the streak t finished. Yes, I waited for people to get off that game all of the time lol.
if a £5 jackpot golden game could be heard dropping 1 pound coins to the bottom (signifying the tube is full), I'd usually hear it faintly from my bedroom, and go and find it.. lol.

The £25 jackpot version was a different beast but still had a similar (but fairly more complex) way of playing it to pretty much ensure profit or your money back, as long as you didn't catch it right after someone else 'done it'.


Anyway, sorry for the thread filler!

The £25 golden game jackpot was the one i played the hold the red x and middle x feature and the hold one jackpot symbol in middle and the repeat xXx of £5 until it paid high. Shame only £5 ones left in seaside resorts which are not the same.

I might have matched Ritae's massive win last week when I hit a monster on DOA2 at Poker Stars. A casual dip in for a few spins at 40 pence brought a bonus round where I chose High Noon Saloon and received 10 spins. After 6 bonus spins I had 8 wilds of 2+ locked in and the fun began. By 9 spins I was over £2000. On the 10th spin the payout was £1000 plus 5 free spins. The math was easy now, every spin was £1000+. Final bonus payout was £8,407.00 - 21000X – One hour for the bonus round spins and payouts to conclusion. This is why we spin.
