I couldn't agree more with this post, this slot has been developed without a single thought to players that have to, or even like to, play the base game in order to attain a bonus. After playing it for a few hours to see what it was like it has been swiftly moved to the ban list. I'm amazed that members of Casino Grounds would completely disregard a large section of their membership when helping put this slot together. There is zero fun in the base game whatsoever, the Beast Mode feature misses most of the time and even when it hits it pays very little. In my hours of play I only had one bonus that triggered with 4 scatters and paid 15x, not worth the grind at all.
If members of this site that have input into slot development ever get the chance again can you please give at least some thought to base game players, inject a little bit of fun somewhere. I guess it's ok if you're a streamer and can just sit buying bonuses but there are other kinds of players out there.
