New Slot Announcement New 3Dice slot - 'DICE FUSION', 3Dice does Reactoonz

[ChopleyIOM]

I'll say out of the gate I'm not the biggest fan of reaction/tumble style games (give me reels!) so Dice Fusion is already swimming against the tide with me a bit on that one, but 3Dice don't release new games that often, and I've had a decent run on my VIP match offers recently so had a nice balance to play with, hence I lobbed £500 at this yesterday and had it running for just shy of eight hours on 20p spins.

It did not go well.

Here's where I started. £500 balance.

And here's where I finished. That's 1112x down in eight hours on 20p spins, my best win in all that time was 205x stake. (And that was a bit of an outlier!)

Now, 3Dice do flag it as three chillies (out of three) on their volatility scale, but it doesn't cross into the new GOLD category, so it shouldn't be that insane. Despite a pretty gruelling first session I returned to it today, determined to give it a fair crack of the whip before writing this review, because this game clearly had potential I wasn't even getting close to, and I wanted to see out at least one solid hit.

Before we get into that, a word about the game itself. It's basically a riff on Reactoonz and we all know how that works, all your symbols drop down and any clusters of five or more of the same symbols pay an award, then they disappear and more stuff tumbles down. If you get a 2x2 block it applies a multiplier to that symbol for the rest of the tumbles on that spin (more 2x2 blocks add higher multipliers), and on every spin a symbol is denoted as 'CHARGED', if you get clusters on that symbol they leave a couple of wilds behind when they disappear.

Also, on any losing spin the game can randomly drop four or more wilds into play.

Foe every 25 symbols that disappear, you get a BONUS REACTION thingy out of four possibilities that modifies the board state to (hopefully) be advantageous for the player. So you get a bonus at 25-50-75-100 and then if you make it all the way to 125, you get the GARGANTOON, sorry, I mean you get the DICE FUSION!

And yes this does work just like the Gargantoon, you get a 3x3 wild drop in, then two 2x2 wilds and then all the single wilds on three consecutive tumbles.

(You know, I've just loaded Reactoonz in over at Unibet and I think this is basically a copy of it, the rules are essentially identical, as are the paytables.)

So there we are, that makes this all a bit easier, it's basically a dice version of Reactoonz. Graphically I quite like it, all the symbols are clear and easy to read, the various graphical effects for the bonus reactions are pretty nice, and the main DICE FUSION reaction looks and sounds pleasing (there's a little 3D spinning reactor too which I quite like). There's a decent enough little tune burbling along in the background that doesn't get offensive or make you want to cut your own ears off like Bonanza does.

RTP is solid if unspectacular at 95.2% which in a world where the Unibet front page is a sea of 93-94% games, I'll quite happily settle for.

And finally, did I eventually manage to land something good on it? Yes I did, but it took a total of TEN HOURS (!) of play to finally get there.....

You can see here I'm on bonus reaction two, and it's lobbed in 15+ of the next to top-tier symbol, I've also got the 2x2 block in there which puts a 2x multiplier on it, so that's £60 x 2 = £120 (600x) for that reaction alone.

This then went on to get all the way to the DICE FUSION bonus which paid a chunk more to finish off at 736x.

And then for an encore, literally whilst I typing out this review, it's chucked a 492x win at me, this was from a £60 win on the preliminary bonus stages, and then more to top it off in the DICE FUSION round.

So that's basically repaired all the damage that it did to me yesterday (not quite though! I'm still a tenner down on it), and I'm glad I stuck with it to finally get a couple of decent wins. Will it go on my normal 3Dice slots rotation? I'm not entirely sure at this moment in time, like I said, my preference is for traditional reels on games but I actually find this a bit easier to read than Reactoonz and can see what's going on a bit better, but it's clearly capable of delivering very long dead patches, as I witnessed yesterday with eight hours of one way downhill traffic!

Anyway, your TLDR on this is 3Dice now have a dice-themed Reactoonz on their books with a better RTP than you're likely to find Reactoonz at these days.....

I'm still lumping away at it, do be warned it really seems stacked into those bigger wins, getting to the GARGANTOON/DICE FUSION phase doesn't guarantee much of anything.

I'm not sure the payout profile on this is really suited to my tastes, part of me is wishing I'd bailed when I'd won most of investment back and was only £10 down.....

You can tell just by looking at the paytable how weighted it is into the top tier symbols and getting the big clusters on them.

I love Reactoonz so I'm used to the kind of game, let's hope they don't release it under 95% here like they did with Legion

As a long-term victim of Reactoonz, I totally get what you mean.
Yes I've had a few really bonzer wins on it, but other times it does feel like banging your head VERY hard against a brick wall - especially when it keeps giving you that f**king red "Demolition" totally crap first "bonus enhancement"
You honestly deserve a medal for playing ANY game for 8 fricking hours though - you LEGEND!
(AND for compiling such a detailed and in-depth review for us)

I may pop over to 3Dice and give it a bash - I only discovered a couple of months ago that I had left >$100 in there for years, which I had completely forgotten about!

Memories from 2018 to 2020:

I now have 15 hours of Bandicam footage of me banging away at Dice Fusion, which is far more play than I ever did on Reactoonz. (It's also grinding away again now as I type this.....)

It's a harsh game, the volatility profile is a bit messed up IMO, it struggles to get through 50x on any sort of regular basis, 100x is rare and 200x feels like Christmas coming early.

I think it's one of those feast or famine style games, my feeling is there's a lot of RTP in wins of 400-500x and bigger, which if you can hit a couple of them close together as I did yesterday is very nice of course, but on a drought it'll drain your balance in a pretty miserable fashion.

The bonus reactions can also be an exercise in frustration, and the way it manages to fizzle out on what looks like should be a dead cert for getting to the Gargantoon, SORRY I MEAN DICE FUSION, starts to get a bit tiresome.

I'll see it out for another couple of decent hits just to see what the game can do, but if you look at the paytable you can see how stacked it is into the couple of highest paying symbols on the 15+ clusters, to the extent that a lot of the time you can see that the Dice Fusion isn't really going to do a massive amount because it just doesn't have the board state to work with.

Both of my big wins on this so far (and remember this is in 15 solid hours of play) have come from getting big clusters off the preliminary bonus reactions, not the actual Dice Fusion itself, and they also looked very 'engineered', like the game had picked the result from the RNG and then created a board state to match the win. I'm not saying it necessarily works like Jammin' Jars with its predetermined sequences, but there seems to be an element of that in there.

For it to lob out a genuinely massive win would take some godlike combination of getting the multiplier up on the best symbols, and then it managing to create a 15+ cluster for them.

I'm not going to pass final verdict yet, but my feeling at this point is the paytable is a bit lopsided, and too reliant on rare big hits to give a satisfying game experience. (Which, incidentally, is the same conclusion I reached about Reactoonz.)

Why 3Dice haven't re-released Kyoko's Quest on their new platform I have no idea, that's a fantastic game, right there, just sitting on the shelf.

WE WILL SAVE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY PON PON.

I used to love 3Dice's old download client as well, but then I'm quite old-fashioned and mourn the loss of the MG Viper Client too. Yes I know everyone's using phones and tablets and things these day but frankly modernity can fuck off because I don't like it.

I thought ALL slots these days worked like that.
Basically they are all just scratchcards with very fancy graphics to reveal what you have won.

Not like the "good old days" of Thunderstruck et al, where the wins were produced by the genuine random stopping of each reel, which had a fixed strip of characters, not gimped displays where symbols appear anywhere and everywhere they shouldn't be...

It was a great fun slot to play, though I have only recorded one win over 100x...

I used to enjoy Reactoonz but it would often be brutal then suddenly it would go berserk. Had a 2000x win and 2500x win on Reactz in the distant past. I will give this "new" 3dice slot a run when I play back there later this month. But ...... what happened to innovative unique games that 3dice used to produce ? the last 2 "new releases" are clone territory .... so not exactly exciting to see. 3Dice need to get back to basics and do what they used to be great at - producing unique slots which you could not really compare anything else with.

Still a great casino though and pretty much the only one I gamble at now when I do gamble that is. Good review though @ChopleyIOM

Some of 3Dice's games work like that (proper reels), Arctic Adventure for example I've learned the reels and can tell just from the spin of the reels if I'm going to get the scatters or not for a feature, because the reel strips on the screen are genuine.

I'm not sure about some of their recent output like Conny & Blyde and Berrini's Fortune, they seem to throw 'fake scatters' onto the reels to make it look more likely you're going to get a feature - I could be wrong though.

AFAIK their classic slots also work with genuine reels, with the paytables and RTP simply calculated from the server pulling a random stop position for each of the reels on each spin.

Yeah - that was one of my favourites too, back in those good old days!

Yes it was a very mild game overall, I used to enjoy cycling through the various bonus rounds and then hoping to trigger the bigger paying Pon Pon bonus round with four or five scatters for the juiciest wins. Alas I never managed to do so and then the game disappeared when they switched to the new web platform

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Gah! Here's a slightly frustrating board state. The 3Dice symbol is the top paying symbol (like the pink thingy on Reactoonz) and I got the bonus reaction that grabs a selection of symbols and turns them all the same. For a second I thought it'd make a 15+ cluster for 750x but somehow it managed to gimp itself as you can see here.

Easy to see how it could have easily managed to not be so twatty about it where I've marked with green crosses!

In fact it would have been 1500x, because I've got the 2x2 configuration which would have applied a 2x multiplier to the win.

Oh well, woulda coulda shoulda.

I think I'm going to properly dig in on this and just absolutely smack it to pieces until it either takes all my money or delivers a seriously big hit.

GAME ON!

(The balance you can see there is just what I'm playing with on my current VIP match offer, I've still got £500 in my Personal Safe.)

Chopley vs Dice Fusion - place your bets.....

Yes indeed Deeplay, as we've both said before, 3Dice are at their best then they're cranking out unique games. They've always knocked out the odd copy from time to time (Gemini / Twin Spin for example), but I'd like to see them do another Enchanted Spins (Enchanted Spins 2!) or Berrini's Fortune.

But yes, it's basically the only place I play now, I loaded up Unibet.com the other night thinking I might make a deposit, but was immediately greeted with a screenful of uninspiring looking games on shit RTPs and I didn't even know where to start, so I didn't bother. I mean, doubtless there's some good stuff in there that I might enjoy, but who wants to wade through ten piles of crap to find one decent game?

Just tried it, and I have to say I think Reactoonz is WAY better graphically - though Dice Fusion is not bad, by any means.

And would you believe it - I had only played about TEN or so spins when I got the Gargantoon Fusion feature!
Only paid 65x and was VERY annoyed that I was only risking 20c bets, but mustn't grumble

Yep agreed. And Berrini's Fortune was a great release. I have had multiple 4 scatters but the fabled 5 still eludes me. Great game though. I have not so much as looked into a UK Facing casino going on maybe 2 years now. With basicially nothing to offer but low RTPS. I have at the moment given up on on offshore cryptos - because of the hassle of buying / sending crypto. My last dep to an offshore took around 2 hours to land .... with 3dice using BCH its pretty much instant or within 10 minutes or buying one of those vouchers - cant remember the name but easy to purchase online and instantly added to your balance on deposit. I do though wish 3dice could have found a way to offer more standard deposit methods but suppose its an impossibility these days.

Still its my only goto place now and as always never issues ever with support or cashouts and no anal SOW!

That's both lucky and unlucky at the same time!

I just haven't seen the Gargantoon do anything impressive yet, where do the big wins come from on Reactoonz? Is it the Gargantoon or really nice setups on the mini-bonuses?

I tend to just leave balances in my Personal Safe from one session to the next or even one month to the next, since I know I'll be playing there again within a short period of time. I've never had any problems using crypto to deposit and BCH is usually pretty fast to be processed.

As for Berrini's Fortune and the five scatters, did you see this I posted over in Screenshots That Suck?...... - Screen Shots that Suck! - Page 253 - Casinomeister Forum

Pretty sure all those big wins I posted were from Gargantoon - but they were a couple of years ago, so I can't be 100% sure.

Was on this one - Gargantoon linked up 16 pinks (about 1:05 in):



That was 784x = the second shot I posted above and my 4th biggest win (by multiplier) on it.
My biggest was 1,508x = my 6th biggest win EVER on any game!

Great video glad you captured it on camera

TBH in a way though it sort of solidifies in my mind why I don't really like these tumble/reaction games so much, watching your video there I had to go back and watch it again to understand what had actually happened on the critical reaction, the whole thing is just so far removed from watching proper reels scroll past and knowing instinctively what the setups are that you're looking out for.

I'm ridiculously locked on target with DICE FUSION now, I've set myself the target of hitting 1000x or to completely bust out my entire bankroll trying. Death Or Glory!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Only five and a half hours so far today......

(I hit the 'pause' button when I'm off doing other stuff, so this is actual gameplay from today alone.)

 

[Jono777]

Unofficially I would say VPNs and crypto are things.

Shame I never understood either and won't risk it anytime soon due to said lack of knowledge.

Had things been different, I'd probably be playing at 96%+, doing bonus buys and more importantly auto spinning!

Dice Fusion will be available tomorrow on the Belgian site, means I will give it a go this weekend

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I'm 43 hours of play into it now (that's how much Bandicam footage I have of this slot running constantly) and my two biggest hits remain 732x and 492x, and by quite some distance at that. I've got through 200x a few times besides those two wins, but not 300x from memory.

I'm probably more down on it now than I'll ever recover, but it's theoretically achievable, since my total losses on it are 'only' 1690x, which I guess you could consider sort of OK after 43 hours of play? (And is probably very close to T-RTP.)

I'll keep plugging away at it (it's running as I type this, and has been all evening), I mean, I wouldn't say I'm 'playing' it as such, this evening I've been reading my book THE DECADE IN TORY whilst the slot is just burbling away to itself on my PC, if I hear the distinctive DICE FUSION feature noise, I'll look up and see what it does. (Spoiler alert - usually not very much.)

Stop trigger is 50x so if it hits that I have to start the autoplayer again, which I set to the maximum of 200 spins. (3Dice used to allow 500 and 1000 but they changed it for some reason, I suspect to make grinding out the monthly Whale achievement require a little more player interaction.)

On one of the better sessions it'll lob out 50-100x on a reasonably regular basis and your balance can hold reasonably steady, I'm actually a few pounds up this evening, and it's been running solidly for 5h20m as I type this.

When I'm finally done with it (I've set my goal as 1000x stake or bust out my entire balance, whichever happens first) I'll ask for my stats on it from 3Dice.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Another five and a half hours this evening and I have nothing of note to report, balance dropped 325x and the game didn't top 150x in terms of a win (think the best was about 130x), but it did manage to hit 50-100x on a reasonably regular basis (this is also a common place for a Gargantoon round to finish up).

I still have 1500x left in the tank so will continue the onward grind to either lose the lot or finally see this game spit out 1000x or better.

It's become more of a curiosity at this point, like a rather boring quest in a videogame that you see out to the finish not because you are particularly enjoying the process, but feel like the sunk cost fallacy demands that you see the pointless endeavour out to its underwhelming conclusion - clinging onto the vague but ultimately forlorn hope it might eventually turn out to be worth it.

I'm also increasingly of the opinion that the game has a set number of preset rounds and just picks one out of the bag every round, I can't really see how you'd even remotely manage the RTP of a game like this otherwise. It also does maddening shit on a regular basis, I've seen it get to 124 out of the 125 required for a Gargantoon more times than I care to remember, the Gargantoons cover up the symbols you want them to pair up with, it pulls Incisions out of its arse to kill off a decent Gargantoon run and other such nonsense all the time.

I also finally got a setup for a 15+ cluster on the top paying symbol, all the biggest Gargantoon had to do was land slap bang in the centre, but instead it missed by one place and paid crap instead.

It's nothing more than bloody minded grim determination on my part at this point, and the fact I can read a book or play a videogame or an emulated fruit machine whilst the slot does its own little thing off on a corner of my screen. Or just not even be in the room at all, I left it running whilst I was eating a pizza in the kitchen downstairs earlier, when I came back up it was finishing off its 200 spins and nothing had really changed.

At least it's Friday tomorrow so I can add alcohol to the mix.

First time trying it out. Starting balance 78 euro. 40 euroish deposit with the bonus code for this new game. So far I love it. Great release from 3Dice. It's got potential but I think the 1000x + are extremerely rare. My max is now about 335x bet.

Well you've already managed my third best win and I've put 43 hours into it so far

Perhaps Friday night will be my lucky night!

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Right, I thought I'd get some 'mid-season stats' as it were, so I pressed the 'support' button in the 3Dice chat bar, entered my query (basically 'Can I get my stats to date on Dice Fusion please, total spins done so far and RTP') and pressed the button:

This button here, 24/7 they have live support, actual named individuals who you get used to on the shifts, who work directly for 3Dice, and who join in the chat in the main chat channel, like Jackpot Party had back in the day, if any UK players remember how that used to be:

Total time taken from me pressing the button with my query to me getting the answer was less than five minutes.

So as you can see, my numbers aren't good at the moment (21,000 spins and 88.6% RTP, from a T-RTP of 95.2%!), and whilst I appreciate random games don't deliberately compensate, I will expect this to gravitate towards T-RTP as I lump away at it over the weekend and into the future, as my spin sample increases and maths does its thing.

I'm going to keep plugging away at it, there are going to be some big(ish) hits in here somewhere, I just need to pull the ball out of the bag that contains 1000x or better

I'll go for five hours this evening, and then just lump away all weekend until 1000x arrives or my balance disappears completely. A noble calling to be sure.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well that was another miserable evening of depressing one-way downhill traffic, fortunately I was playing SNIPER ELITE 4 at the same time so was able to offset the kicking Dice Fusion continued to dish out with the catharsis of blowing the absolute everloving shit out of loads of Nazis. (Testicle shots are a favourite, I killed Hitler with a testicle shot, and then reloaded the save and killed him ten different other ways, because, y'know, Hitler.)

I had Dice Fusion running for five hours and the best it managed was 110x, with my overall balance declining a further 625x, which brings my total losses on it so far to 2640x, so I need an absolute dream hit at this moment in time to recover that position.

When I started on what I have belatedly realised is a suicide mission, I had a balance of 3560x, and most of that has now gone.

I have retained £100 (500x) in my Personal Safe to give me a last chance saloon in the form of the 100% match offer that 3Dice have added to their cashier for players to try out the new game, so that'll double up to a final £200 (1000x) that I can throw at it.

It's quite a slow game to play, averaging under 500 spins per hour (many of 3Dice's games can rattle along at 1000 spins per hour or faster), which is covering up the extent of the carnage to some extent because it's dragging it out over a long period of time.

Anyway, I'm dug in for the weekend now, so it's 1000x or bust.

(SPOILER ALERT - I think bust is going to win.)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

154x, it's not much, but I'll take it.

The balance you can see there is all I have left save for the last £100 in my Personal Safe that I'm saving to take the bonus with. (Before I started on Dice Fusion, that balance was £712.....)

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well it's desperation city now, that's it, the last £100 from what was a withdrawable balance of £712 before I starting banging myself over the head with the rubberised dildo of despondency that is Dice Fusion, and it's now locked into a bonus with wagering attached.

£200 to wager £4000 is EV- so I doubt that will happen anyway, its main purpose is to try and just eke out long enough to hit a 1000x stake win.

If I had to be entirely honest, I'm not optimistic about this one.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Will give it €50 tonight and I saw it's 95.2% for us too so can't complain about that.

Had a little go in fun mode when it was released Thursday and it seems there's more (very) small wins compared to Reactoonz.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Good god almighty it finally spat a little bit of something back, out of a completely contrived pre-Gargantoon (sorry I'm not even pretending this isn't Reactoonz anymore) where the shitty little 'clone' bonus put in the perfect symbols to make a 15+ cluster with two of the multiplying 2x2 blocks, so that's £15x4=£60, and honestly, it feels like Christmas has come early, such are my incredibly low expectations with this game.

307x isn't bad, but it's way short of my 1000x target and I will continue on my mission to hit 1000x or bust out, and next month I will pretend that Dice Fusion (and Legion) don't even exist and go back to the actual good games 3Dice make when they're creating original content.

C'mon 3Dice folks, you can do better than this.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

And now we enter DAY TEN of the grand Dice Fusion Experiment, the continuing descent into insanity where reality and imagination merge together into a confusing morass of tumbling dice and constantly diminishing balances.

I'm way past even remotely expecting any salvation at this point, as I chase after a big win with the same look of dumb optimism on my face as a spaniel chasing a ball into the large hadron collider. *



* I totally stole that line out of THE DECADE IN TORY, where it was used as a description of Jeremy Hunt.

Yes, insane is how I would describe your mission. After all, it's not ACTUALLY Reactoonz...

I'll swap my stats for your stats

I'm fairly philosophical about it all, I've had some outrageously good runs at 3Dice over the years, on more than one occasion I've turned a single small deposit into a withdrawal of more than £1000, playing entirely at my usual low stakes, thanks to extended runs of good luck across 'compounded' bonuses.

One has to take the rough with the smooth, and I have now been grinding away at a random game with a house edge of nearly 5% for tens upon tens of hours, so on one level I should expect to be l losing by now really

It's not over yet though, I still have a balance of £130 and I've had fours of play today already ?

Oh hang on, literally I was typing this it's just done the £60 win again, and it went on to the Gargantoon as well

329x - back up to £200 lol

Keep us updated

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Keep us updated

TBH I'm expecting Sky to pick up on the story so hopefully it'll be on the six 'o clock news.

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Right this is the first time I've seen a Gargantoon actually deliver something really solid. 15+ cluster on the next to top symbol pays 300x, and in the same configuration is 15+ on the next symbol down, that's 150x, and also the next one down from that which is 75x. So that's 525x for the first Gargantoon landing.

Total win is a solid 557x. I just need another five or so of those and I'll be back to level pegging

 

[sufferinsilence]

17 of the top symbol without reaching the fusion phase...

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Congrats! I haven't hit those in about 60 hours of play.....

(I'll have to check my Bandicam folder when I'm back at my main PC, I must be somewhere between 60 and 70 hours into it now.)

TBH I'm fairly sanguine about it all now, given the sheer amount of time I've had the game lumping away for, can't win 'em all!

 

[JohnSnow]

I kept playing the same game and upped stake a bit and lost it all so yeah. ?

 

[ChopleyIOM]

Well that's that then, after some 82 hours (!) of total playtime, this game has gone through 4525x stake on 20p spins (a total of £905, comprised of £720 cash and the rest in bonus funds).

I failed to achieve my target of a 1000x or better win, capping out instead at 736x (and that was relatively early on too).

In the interests of transparency I should note for the record that whilst that £720 was withdrawable funds at the start of this demented quest, it had also been built up off the back of a really rich run from my VIP match offers, so it's not like I was chucking deposit after deposit after it. (I learned the hard way with Arctic Adventure back in the day not to do that....)

I think I can say with a fairly high degree of confidence I will not be returning to this game regularly in future, if at all. There are better things to try and do, like get the elusive five scatters on Berrini's Fortune, or hit a top-tier 5OAK on Arctic during the 10x free spins round, or win a progressive on one of the single-liners. (There's also getting perfect picks on Enchanted Spins from a five scatters trigger, although I'm under no illusion as to how incredibly unlikely that is.)

Doubtless I am well under RTP on Dice Fusion (if I had to have a guess I'd say somewhere between 90% and 91%), so the game should gravitate towards RTP over time and improve a bit, but I'm not convinced I have the patience for it. We shall see.

Ahhhh well, you win some, you lose some. We live to fight another day.

That's a lot of Bandicam footage!.....

 

[ChopleyIOM]

I've carried on plugging away at this in demo play, I can't deposit at 3Dice at the moment because Coinbase have decided to be arseholes (or my bank has, or both of them have) and I don't have any other crypto options set up, I'll rectify this in the new year but I just can't be arsed at the moment.

It still hasn't done 1000x stake or better, and it has continued to play like an arsehole, but it has managed to hit a new high score of 811x, actually on the Gargantoon round this time as well.

As you can see, the vast majority of this 811x win was from this single reaction of top-tier 3Dice symbols which paid 750x.

Overall I really don't like this game, I think it's awful, and it's got a volatility profile completely unlike any of 3Dice's own slots, TBH I'm slightly amazed they've only pegged it at three chillies when Rumble City gets put in the 'gold' volatility category, or the fact it's in the same category as Sakura Shrine, which is nothing like Dice Fusion.

A rare dud from 3Dice here, if you're going to copy something, at least copy something good!

lol...If you walk along the pavement and see a 500g medium-brown walnut whip-shaped dog turd and knowingly ignore it, then 10 paces further along see a 500g dark brown walnut whip-shaped dog turd with some sweetcorn embedded in it, would you pick it up in your hand because it looked different to the first turd?

Well I never really got that involved with Reactoonz, probably did a couple of thousand spins on it, maybe a bit more, but never to the point of getting a proper feeling for how it rolled. (Plus it would have been on 96.4% or whatever it was at top RTP, as opposed to 95.2% which is what Dice Fusion runs at.)

Anyway, at least it isn't costing me any real money at this point since I have no means to buy crypto

 

[sufferinsilence]

I have this feeling that they might release a book game next

Anyway, I kinda like this game. It's much more entertaining than Legion or Sakura when we're comparing to the newest releases.
